VIDEO: On Running Software Projects (Jason Fried)

Watch it

Code swarm visualization vidi project

Great concept. Loved the Python video

SVN rocks, enough with the distributed buzz word (oh yeah and Linus will make you convert back to cvs [but please don't!])

If you’re Mozilla or Apache ok you want Distributed VCS. Else you don’t need it. Really!

Unless Linus can convice you you need GIT. But if you’re like me, after the presentation (if you succeed into not falling asleep because of his so bad jokes) it’s more likely you will start hating DSCM tools which also not the best thing to do. You can just hate GIT and shout that Linus is B O R I N G and last time he checked what humor’s definition is was never.

Targeting the everyday user

I once wrote this page. I always find it interesting & funny to read myself after some years have passed.

some C fun


int main()
{
char charptr[30], ch[30];
scanf("%s %*s %s", charptr, ch);
printf("%s %s", charptr, ch);

scanf("%3c", ch);
printf("%s", ch);
system("PAUSE");
}

can’t test cin.scan in windows (as GNU extension is not ported in g++/win32)

Python power

Only when you’re forced to code in Java, C++, C# you understand why only Python is able to allow you to have a real life. Google I hate you for doing GWT in Java. I really do

Google’s GWT sample uses Yahoo Search API JSON abilities

It is an amazing sample. I guess it also proves Google should stop changing the SOAP API, to AJAX API (not that the easy way of AJAX API currently hurts) but should NOW provide output=json,xml in the URL (a REST way).

REST rocks for one more time, and even Google GWT developers know it (and even propose it) instead of their apis.

PS. and yeah… there is a way, but it is supposed to be secret
