CPAN's ecosystem of packages are not really like Python's Libraries. There are packages for very small jobs such as doing IO or processing command line options (getopts) as well as packages that serve as whole ORMs or web frameworks, so it

Bitterness and negativity are bad for any brand, but especially one presented directly to consumers. Representing the company is one of a CEO's job, and it is certainly the point of the CEO's twitter feed. There's a good chance that what he

I got a lot out of Anthony Molinaro's SQL Cookbook, it had a surprising amount of theory in it. It doesn't sound like you're looking for a cookbook type book though, what I think you're looking for is books by C.J. Date and Joe Celko.

If you just want to get a feel for Catholicism without getting too serious, you should leaf through 'In the Beginning' http://books.google.com/books?id=a47neDIBaSkC&printsec=f... It starts assuming virtually no background in the faith

Imagine getting in on the ground floor when they started the first universities in western history -- Oxford, Cambridge, the Sorbonne, Heidelburg, La Sapienza, Jagiellonian, Salamanca... we could be those guys!

There are 7 billion people alive today. It's silly to assume otherwise. What's more is that it prevents learning. I was talking with friend of mine the other day about an idea to set up a sqlite database with a html/css/javascript front en
