    I haven't perceived that people think C is significantly scary (or evil). There are however many compelling reasons not too choose C in the present RAD/Web/Cloud/Solution Business …

    Moving from Python to C is a very good move. It allows you to go from programming to inner workings, everyone should have a solid knowledge of C since it give you the tools to iden…

    Indeed, I currently get turned off by most books I pick up, simply because they start out on a too basic general level. If you however dig a little deeper you can usually find stuf…

    Ask HN: What do you think of Portlets?

    I've been stuck on doing Java Portlet development for a month, which is my first real run through with this specific piece of tech. And I'm not growing especially fond of it. The s…
