First, it's important to note that I teach ESL in a foreign country (Japan). I'm an assistant teacher, but I do lead the classes sometimes. I primarily make handouts and games/activities for helping teach vocabulary and gramm

I'd be interested to see such a citation as well. Quick searching shows that the US (and other countries such as Canada and the UK) have Good Samaritan laws that protect doctors assisting people in such situations. Specifically: "

First impressions: - Increased whitespace makes it feel less informationally dense. - The colors are a bit too light. As someone with sensitive eyes, it makes reading the docs for long periods of time harder. This is going to be tough to ge

If I'm reading this correctly, it just boils down to "use the right tools and Java won't suck" which is something that can be argued for most programming languages. This is fine and all, but one of the problems for new p
