current readings

effective java
so, i started to read effective java for like the tenth time. its is a great book. its hard to remember everything in it. but, once you review its like "oh yeah, that makes sense. hmm. i wonder if i'm breaking this rule. um.. yeah i am. i suck." thus, you need to review.

for all you looking to improve in javadocing (mr. k, i'm talking about you), see item 28.

on thing that i started to do was, write an article with the cool things in each item. i remember doing this before, but i can't find it. that sucks. but, i always learn better when i write things down. cause you do two things you read it, then you have to remember it again to write it down. it seems like a waste of time, but you should try it. this especially works when you do lit reviews for research. again, try it before you knock it.

other books in the queue
i haven't read man-month in a while. i need to finish it so i can give it to austen. then to the others at work. like i said before its a cool book. it is cool because it is so old, yet still so good.

restful webservices. i didn't even open the fridgen book. ahhh!! it is calling to me.

i got a cool book from my co-worker. that i want to read to.

yay for reading. boo to not having enough time.

shout out to austen
i don't like reading, normally. but austen is making me want to read, so i don't suck compared to him. boo to him. haha. nah. but it is good to read.

Hi Aaron,

Yay for new effective java! And I started to read Mythical Man Month this weekend. It's very interesting how things are some things still haven't changed. The book is nice because its essays and not a textbook. It's not boring, which is always a plus.
