This reminds me of the joke about OOP and monkeys[1] Really though, I think this is more related to culture that Java (and many Java books) tends to nurture. Anybody that's read a fair share of "Enterprise" Java code has seen FooBarFactory

I wouldn't mind it, but - for me at least - on a just-before-unibody-gen MBP w Chrome, it is really choppy. I basically see the first 2 and last 2 frames of the animation. It's better on Safari, but still, it would be better the disable the

This. It is completely against the whole concept of separating markup from styling. I recently stumbled upon a pretty nice CSS "framework" (it's more of a starter template) that doesn't have all the crap most grid-frameworks have. It's iron

SlickGrid is excellent. I didn't like how coupled everything seemed (model, Pagination, etc) [as of 6 months ago, so it may have changed]. I ended up rolling my own remote model, editors, and pagination stuff, but it ended working like a dr

It's by Brian Fuller, who creates a very specific "style" of shows. If you liked Dead Like Me or Wonderfalls, then you will probably enjoy Pushing Daisies, otherwise you probably won't. Edit: grammar.

I see this as a benefit too, especially for TV shows. If you are the type of person that enjoys "critically acclaimed" but "unpopular" shows (Arrested Development, Pushing Daises, Better Off Ted, etc.), the signal-to-noise ratio is dramatic

You can also find assignments, tests, lecture notes, lab notes, example and other course material to compliment Brian Harvey's course here: http://www-inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs61a/su10/ (This is just one semester, you can find materials

Already posted this in longer form as a reply [1], but the UC Berkeley CS courses that are available online are really great, and you can usually find ALL the material for the course online. If you want to learn Scheme (Lisp), I highly reco

Also another good "beginner" (was already a programmer, and it was still a great course) course that actually has everything - lectures, notes, textbook, assignments, tests and answers! - available free online is the UC Berkley CS61A course

If you like Helvetica, you should watch Objectified. It's by the same director, and is similar to Helvetica, only about Industrial Design (Dieter Rams, Jon. Ive, etc.). It's on Netflix instant streaming.

Yep Scheme was what I was using with SICP. I've heard of Common Lisp in passing, does it have a more friendly syntax?

by kaylarose 16y ago
Maybe it's just my mental model, or being new to the language. But while going through SICP - 'cdadadr', 'cddaadr', etc. never really "clicked" in my mind. Really anything past 3 levels (cadar, cddar, etc.) always slowed down reading code,

The problem I have with sites like this (and any restaurant review site in general), is that they always include national chains in the reviews/recommendations. Really, do you need to read a review of the McDonalds on Main St. vs the McDona

Yeah, the whole thing about jQuery is that you don't have to know design pattern to get things done. By the time you need design patterns, you are probably developing complex plugins or app, in which case, saying that: $('#container')

I prefer LESS because, stylistic-ly (to me at least), it feels more like CSS with extra sugar vs SASS which doesn't feel as natural. YMMV though.

To me, (as a "enterprise" developer), discipline means knowing when to say NO to a feature. I think traditionally Enterprise software is developed with the crazy "advanced" (5%) scenario in mind vs. the "regular" (95%) use cases. Edit: Just
