Joe's JellyJoe Walnes rambling on and on about Software Development, Java and Extreme Programming.Language of the year- January 30, 2003 The Pragmatic Programmer suggests learning a new programming language (at least) once per year. Specifically, you should learn a language that changes the way you think about things - learning C if you know Java doesn't count. Last year I decided to learn Ruby - a lot of people told me how great it is. At first I thought it was pointless, but I eventually dived in. Man, I'm glad I did! I've since fallen in love with language. Ruby is an incredibly clean and concise loosly typed OO language.http://radio.weblogs.com/0108103/2003/01/30.html#a126 |
