The Future of Markdown
25 Oct 2012 The Future of Markdown Markdown is a simple little humane markup language based on time-tested plain text conventions from the last 40 years of computing. Lightweight Markup Languages ============================ According to **Wikipedia**: > A [lightweight markup language](http://is.gd/gns) is a markup language with a simple syntax, designed to be easy for a human to enter with a simp
How to Write Without Writing
04 Feb 2011 How to Write Without Writing I have a confession to make: in a way, I founded Stack Overflow to trick my fellow programmers. Before you trot out the pitchforks and torches, let me explain. Over the last 6 years, I've come to believe deeply in the idea that becoming a great programmer has very little to do with programming. Yes, it takes a modicum of technical skill and dogged persisten
The Large Display Paradox
07 Aug 2007 The Large Display Paradox As displays increase in size and prices drop, more and more users will end up with relatively large displays by default. Nobody buys 15 or 17 inch displays any more; soon, it won't make financial sense to buy a display smaller than 20 inches. Eventually, if this trend continues, everyone will have 30-inch displays on their desktops. This is clearly a good thin
I Shall Call It.. SomethingManager
29 Mar 2006 I Shall Call It.. SomethingManager Alan Green rails against the meaninglessness of SomethingManager: How many classes do you come across named SomethingManager? Any decent sized commercial system seems to have plenty – SessionManager, ConnectionManager, PolicyManager, QueueManager, UrlManager, ConfigurationManager, or even, sadly, EJBManager. A quick look at the dictionary entry for "m
Understanding Model-View-Controller
05 May 2008 Understanding Model-View-Controller Like everything else in software engineering, it seems, the concept of Model-View-Controller was originally invented by Smalltalk programmers. More specifically, it was invented by one Smalltalk programmer, Trygve Reenskaug. Trygve maintains a page that explains the history of MVC in his own words. He arrives at these definitions in a paper he publis
Recommended Reading for Developers
02 Feb 2004 Recommended Reading for Developers This list was last updated in March 2015. Why are updates to my reading list so rare? Because computers change a lot in 10 years, but people don't. To make better software, you need to understand how people work, and that is what the books I recommend tend to focus on. Code Complete 2 Steve McConnell's Code Complete 2 is the Joy of Cooking for softwar
The Enduring Art of Computer Programming
10 Jan 2008 The Enduring Art of Computer Programming I saw on reddit that today, January 10th, is Donald Knuth's seventieth birthday. Knuth is arguably the most famous living computer scientist, author of the seminal Art of Computer Programming series. Here's how serious Mr. Knuth is – his books are dedicated, not to his wife or a loved one, but to a computer: This series of books is affectionatel
Separating Programming Sheep from Non-Programming Goats
14 Jul 2006 Separating Programming Sheep from Non-Programming Goats ⚠ Please note, this paper was ultimately retracted by its author (pdf) in 2014: In 2006 I wrote an intemperate description of the results of an experiment carried out by Saeed Dehnadi. Many of the extravagant claims I made were insupportable, and I retract them. I continue to believe, however, that Dehnadi had uncovered the first
