Founders at work by Jessica Livingston

What they once said...

Frederik Brooks: Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later.
Alan M. Davis: "If you believe that you know the requirements better than the customer, you are part of the problem, not the solution."
Rod Johnson: Software design is as much art as science.
Chinese proverb: Experience without learning is better than learning without experience.
C.A.R. Hoare: The unavoidable price of reliability is simplicity.
Jane Cleland-Huang: Software development should integrate and consider project metrics that assess its financial impact.
John F. Woods: Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live.
Ed Yourdan: There is nothing in the programming field more despicable than an undocumented program.
Albert Einstein: We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
Albert Einstein: Intellectuals solve problems: geniuses prevent them.
Alan Kay: 90% of code written today is getting around other people's mistakes.

JLS 3rd out of the oven

The third edition of the Java Language Specification (JLS) has just came out of the oven five years after the publication of the second edition. Needless to say that this new release contains the largest set of changes since the inception of the Java programming language. It includes all the novelties that have been incorporated in the latest Java 5 release, such as generics, enhanced for loop, autoboxing, typesafe enumerations, varargs, static imports and metadata annotations. Finally, a third breath for all Java professionnals!!

You may get a feel of what's in there before the printed book hits the store by dowloading the PDF edition (6173 KB) on Sun's website.

Happy reading :)
