- Bruce Eckel is one of my favorite people when it comes to thinking about computing and programming. His books have consistently been among the best, partly because they teach what their titles often suggest..."Thinking in" a language as opposed to simply coding in it. I had read three Java books before I ran into his Thinking in Java but his book made me get it. (I still didn't become what I'd call even a marginally adequate Java coder, in part because I never could come up with a project that Java seemed like a good solution for. |

- Tony Bourke put together a long article, benchmarking File System, System, Compilation, OpenSSL and Web Performance for both Linux and Solaris on x86 hardware. While SPARC's Solaris is said to be more optimized than its x86 counterpart on the other hand so is Linux 2.6 compared to 2.4. Solaris-x86 performed well in the tests, but Linux 2. |
