My Testing page
Mostly links to nice articles for the moment.
Socket Programming.
Some useful links to get you up to speed with socket
programming.
Apart from articles I've published in print, I also have some articles on programming that are available only from this web site. Here they are:
In Defense of XP
Most Extreme Programming practices sound very peculiar the first
time you hear about them. This article tries to explain them.
Source Code Line Counting
Mainly about C++. Presents a Ruby script to count the number of
source code lines in a C++ program, but also some generic
discussion and some links to get more information (and
programs).
Hungarian Notation Considered
Harmful
I don't like Hungarian Notation. Here's why.
My Work Setup
Explains what (mostly free) software I install on each Windows
machine I get my hands on.
CleanRoom
An overview of this software development methodology developed 20
years ago by Harlan Mills.
Joel Spolsky's Weblog
Some of his articles are quite controversial, but it's always interesting
to hear what he has to say.
Pete McBreen is the author of a very good book: "Software Craftmanship". His website is worth visiting.
Dejan Jelovic's nice website
Mostly C++. His articles are more limited in scope, but he definitely
shares ideas with Joel.
The C2 Wiki
In theory home for the Portland Pattern Repository. In practice a big
discussion forum for programmers. Agile-XP-friendly.
Papers
and Articles
by the Pragmatic Programmers
The authors of The Pragmatic Programmer also have a website full
of good articles.
Bill Venners' Artima.com
A forum for developer idea exchange. I particularly like the interviews section. I
think it's still a bit thin on content, but looking good.
The Register
News website for IT people. Has a definite UK slant. I find the articles
interesting. No "viruses are destroying our ecomony"-type misinformation ;-)
Need To Know (Ntk.net)
They present themselves as <*the* weekly high-tech sarcastic update for the
uk>.
ACM Classic
Papers
Really classic papers published by the ACM. They don't seem to
update this page anymore. A pity. Features some all-time classics
by Parnas, Dijkstra, Hoare, Wirth,...
A nice collection of papers on programming (mostly in C) at the Toronto University. If you're looking for some particular language you might as well take a look at Yahoo's Programming Languages index.
