Agile Tsar Dmitri Dolguikh pointed out Project Euler yesterday, which is a website containing a series of short programming problems. It reads a bit like bonus questions on a math exam, which is actually quite refreshing compared to the day-to-day problems at work. For added fun, I’m trying to run through the problems in Common [...]
A lot of people are linking to this article about the state of the practice in CS curriculum and its use of Java creating dull replaceable drones.
mdehaan points out a wonderful section wherein the authors relate Java programming to a plumber in a hardware store, finding pieces and putting them together to solve a problem, [...]

Thank you, developers of yore. You’ve made things oh so much clearer to this lowly maintenance programmer.
BarCampRDU is going on now at Red Hat.
There are a lot of good topics (distributed version control, grails, juggling), and plenty of free stuff. Looks like it will be a great day.
