Impressive, most impressive. Using Cold Fusion, Access and good experience it get’s the job done extremely well. Check out the numerous different paths to navigate the database. A great site for Buffy fans and for developers to think of similar projects. You can surf around here for eons. Whadda great job! Highly recommended.
The Rittenhouse Review has been posting small comparisons of the best and worst in Philly. This week it’s Longwood Gardens and the SEPTA subway system.
I’m having fun reading this free online book on the art of computer programming. As Mike says – this isn’t your typical comp-sci book.
Todd Cranston-Cuebas, Senior Technical Recruiter for Ticketmaster, shares some tips in this interview. via this Slashdot thread.
It’s for C development, but can mostly apply to Java as well. Good to see similarities to my own approach in there.

You know the type, they mention the latest acronyms and tell you that you “must apply this design pattern, otherwise it will never work”. Anyway, go read the article at O’Reilly.

Gonna be fun learning and doing this kind of thing.

Like Russell Beattie, I have a general purpose weblog and probably should filter what is going to javablogs.com by category. I doubt the folks using javablogs.com would like to read my personal postings either. Luckily with MovableType, this should be easy.
Speaking of RSS, my friend Mark is doing some interesting work over at More Boom In The Room.
