Stuff in my backlog from last week:
- Pragmatic Progressive Enhancement – Thanks Matt
- Dot – The Userguide – Watch this blog for an upcoming project related to dot/graphviz!
- Arguing with Users – I was one of the many users disappointed enough by Pidgin to “migrate”
- Learning Perl the Hard Way – Maybe PHP needs one of these?
- Tamarin project @ Mozilla – I want to see how this compares to SquirrelFish – can I actually get my hands on WebKit nightlies somewhere?
- Javascript 2 – A Perl 6 Disaster – I must be the only person left who likes where JS2 is headed?
- Mozilla 2 Roadmap – Anyone know of a more up-to-date version?
- Ada Programming Book – Well, it’s definitely not Java; guess it’s time to really knuckle down and learn some real Ada.
- The Wannabe Developers Manifesto – ##PHP often leaves me feeling this way
- Oink – C++ Static Analysis
- Wikipedia – List of Revision Control Software – I need to make my own “Matrix” site, like cmsmatrix.org – but abstracted to accept lists such as these.
- TIOBE Index – PHP holding strong at #5
- Join-Fu Slides – A series of talks by a MySQL employee, I’d like to compare some of his speed claims against other engines, see how much is MySQL specific – am I the only one who prefers Theta syntax?
- A PgSQL Blog: CONNECT BY in 8.3? – I use this feature quite often in Oracle 10g, glad to see it making its way to the OSS engines.
Question for readers: Do you know of a good ML book? O’Reilly and Associates doesn’t seem to have one, nor Prentice-Hall PTR, and I never know who I can trust from the other publishers – they’ve been far too spotty in my experience.
