Came across this Foundations of Programming Book by Karl Seguin (ebook actually) when I looked into CodeBetter.com
It contains articles that were previously posted on the site and I had the chance to scan/skim over it and wow, I'd have to say this is a must read for developers at any level (probably even the "guru"s need to have a look at it).
The book is 79 pages short. More...
A few weeks earlier I decided that I should get my personal Oreilly Safari Books Online subscription so I did. Although it does cost something (what doesn't) and something that might not be a good idea for others I'd have to say that I find it very useful and effective. Let me share my thoughts More...

This is the first time I did this and for sure there are a lot of benefits you could think of but here's my list:
- finding interesting starter kits
- some basis / base code for future projects
- getting new ideas inspired by some of the projects there
- finding a solution to a problem you never realized you had until you came across someone (project) having a solution for it
