Feed Description: The technical landscape through the eyes of an occasional indie games programmer who now uses Python as his language of choice.
Recently I bought Head First Design Patterns,
which I'm finding to be an excellent book. There's just one flaw, and I
say this tongue in cheek. It's so good, that I left it on top of my
well-thumbed copy of Python in a Nutshell
which normally takes pride of place next to my desk at home. While I
was at work on Friday, my wife reported that my daughter had become
very interested in the book, as she was curious about the cover.
But now, Head First Design Patterns
is out of reach. Why? Because I'm not quite ready to answer questions
from a precocious 4 year old to the effect of, "Why did Jim's love life
improve when he cut down his inheritance?"
