I found this little jem of a website via the List. It is the Yahoo! Design Pattern Library. It is basically a repository of various design patterns that are used when creating different elements of a website. This includes such things as Navigation Tabs, Breadcrumbs, Rating an Object, and others. Each pattern lists the problem summary, when to use the pattern, the solution, the rationale and finally the accessibility.
Richarddooling.com has an excellent little tutorial on installing Python on a Windows computer. If anyone is thinking about learning Python, this is an excellent place to start. The tutorial also includes a list of learning resources at the end. The only resource that I would add is the Dive into Python book, which is available for free.
I just found a very cool new plug-in for NetBean called Ant Explorer. It allows your graphically inspect your Ant build files. It basically creates a nice little graph that shows target dependencies along with build file properties. This can be very helpfull when dealing with large complicated build files and it definitely makes them easier to understand. Along with a NetBeans plugin, the developers have a stand alone version and plug-ins for many other popular IDEs.
It is now May and I have finished all of my exams for my last semester at school. Assuming that everything went well and I passed all my courses, I will officially graduating with a B.Sc. in Applied Computer Science on June 19, 2006. Very Cool. I can’t believe that the 5 years are already over. On the other hand, I feel like I have been in school forever. Hopefully though this will mean an increase in the amount of posts.
