Thanks all, this is probably a very good starting point

Can't find that chapter here: https://www.amazon.com/Designing-Web-APIs-Building-Developer... am I looking at a the right edition ?

Does anybody know a short introduction to REST APIs ? I know HTTP reasonably well (it is not that complicated after all, I dare to say) and I need to know specifically what REST is…

Thanks for writing this.

I mean .. use whatever you feel comfortable with, make sure you understand what you're doing, the terminal is the closest interface to the OS. I personally use it a lot but this ar…

Many of us have come across them at uni I guess - but there are so many books around. This one always made me smile a bit : Introduction to Algorithms : Hardcover 1312 pages Introd…

YAUL ?

Anyway I envy you guys, now things tend to be too high level and you lose that holistic view of the computing machine. Back than you felt pretty skilled I am sure, now I feel anybo…

I must have been a bloody hard and interesting work, back then.

I am a bit puzzled by this: "Before about the early 90s, we didn’t trust C compilers, so we wrote in assembly." There a lot of games released during the 80's, were they really all …

Not sure. I have seen people having two windows: 1. Vim 2. Terminal for compiling I found it quite handy, then I discovered Emacs :-) We could stay on the subject for years I recko…

Actually I use it in place of screen. I always thought of it as "a better screen"

Yeah, that is what I was taught as well. From one abstract machine to another. If we think about it javac would not be a compiler otherwise :-)

Well done!

Hi all, Has any of you got any experience with JGroups in big enterprise applications ? I understand it is the default clustering mechanism for JBoss but that does not necessarily …

You will need to know the C language, not C++. As with many things you will follow an example, then another, then after a few you will walk using your own legs. To build a module y…

I would propose Linux Kernel Development by Robert Love. It is not for beginners though. That could help you in applying your new C skills in writing a simple device driver/kernel …

Due to lack of personal knowledge is not quite clear to me what the problem is with mobile devices. It seems to be the fact that they very often change IP address. am I right ? Is …
