Pain meds? After I had my wisdom teeth out, I found that my code got *pretty interesting* after a mammoth dose of Codeine.
Book-wise, I really enjoyed Bruce Eckels' "Thinking in Java" and "Thinking in C" - they're, of course, focused on their respective languages, but some of the practices put forth in those books are very useful and - I think - have contributed to better, more efficient coding on my end... when I'm not completely hammered on pain medication, that is. - Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony Weeg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 10:33 AM Subject: RE: Book recommendation > funny...i seem to have generated > this fluctuatingly uninvited guest to the midsection > as well. it's a sign, just like tree rings, of > all the all-nighters we have all pulled to get > some code done....couple that with some > arthritis, and shoot, we should all buy stock in > pain meds :) > > ...tony > > Tony Weeg > Senior Web Developer > UnCertified Advanced ColdFusion Developer > Information System Design > Navtrak, Inc. > Mobile workforce monitoring, mapping & reporting > www.navtrak.net > 410.548.2337 > > -----Original Message----- > From: Fregas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 11:25 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: Book recommendation > > > Har Dee har har. :) > > Actually, since I've turned 30, I've noticed at least one part of my > body > getting rounder. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 10:13 AM > Subject: RE: Book recommendation > > > > >>I'm a pretty well rounded programmer now > > > > You should do some exercise then :-) > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Fregas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: 05 February 2003 16:11 > > To: CF-Talk > > Subject: OT: Book recommendation > > > > > > Hello all. > > > > I'm a pretty well rounded programmer now, nearing my four year mark of > using > > Coldfusion, SQL, VB, ASP and getting into this .NET stuff.
