Free Foundations of Programming Book by Karl Seguin

June 25, 2008 17:53 by Ryan Garaygay

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...

June 21, 2008 04:49 by Ryan Garaygay

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...

My Picks at CodePlex

March 21, 2008 00:59 by Ryan

Been up for around 24 hrs yesterday and guess what I've been doing? Browsing projects in CodePlex

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:

  1. finding interesting starter kits
  2. some basis / base code for future projects
  3. getting new ideas inspired by some of the projects there
  4. finding a solution to a problem you never realized you had until you came across someone (project) having a solution for it
  5. and of course, having to read other people's code: how to write good code or how NOT to write bad ones

There a tons of projects there from simple to complex ones, from those supported by a community to those supported by one, from active to dead ones and even those from Microsoft like Sample Projects for products.

Here are my interesting picks (so far) More...
