It looks amazing. I'm trying to figure out the best way to read this. The printed option looks good. This is definitely something I want to sit down with and soak in.

I've been working on an iPhone app for about a month and I'm waiting until I finish a key set of features before I put it under version control. I'm making so many big changes that…

Before you hit compile, look at the key lines of code that you just wrote and think about exactly what you expect them to do. Then compile and run the code. Don't rush to compile. …

He believes people can accomplish great things, when those people may not believe it themselves. He reminds them they can.

I read about half of Dive Into Python, and it was pretty advanced stuff. It's good if you know another programming language very well. The book starts out slow, but the difficulty …

It took me a pretty long time to get excited about engineering. It's kind of funny, because University really made me dislike education/learning so much that I had to go discover a…

The question I was thinking was: Who exactly is this product for?

I like this post because it shows what it's like in a different part of the world. Reminds of Bill Gates's recent talks on global inequity. I liked this quote: 'I have this idea in…

That was hilarious. I still can't really gauge how serious that guy was. From the article: "Situation 7: you have a small, lightweight startup company filled with cool young people…
