On the OT list, folks have been ranting about RSS. I think what they're ranting about is the way that the various idiosyncrasies of blogs' RSS feeds box them into a corner, in various ways. The more I think about it, the more I think that the one-RSS-endpoint-per-blog model is just not right. In my limited experience, I've encountered at least 3 different dimensions to RSS: 1) Version: 0.91, 1.0, 2.0, etc. 2) Category: All, technical-only,...http://radio.weblogs.com/0111823/categories/mySoftware/2003/04/04.html#a257 Reflection trick with .NET- April 3, 2003 Cool Method You Never Knew Existed.

I have no problem admitting that I learnt object oriented programming with Bruce Eckel's Thinking in Java. Even more, I am absolutely convinced that if from time to time I manage to look "solidly backgrounded" in O-O it is due to what I learnt in Thinking in Java. Third edition just received a Jolt award (I learnt while moving from 1st to 2nd Ed, time do fly, sigh). Thinking in C is in the works and I am looking forward to it.
