Squeezed Links: June 2008

Having kids makes you busy. End of today’s lesson. Here are June’s top links:

• Foundations of Programming Ebook – Karl Seguin rocks it out with a serious eBook about the foundations of software development. This easily is the link of the month – great job Karl.
• Back to Basics: var != Dim – Loved this post by Scott…and yes…sometimes I am just too lazy to strongly type (but always try)
• Your First Developer Job – Good insight by David. It has long been my opinion that your first job will make or break your career due to the mental imprinting of bad/good habits.
• Does our addiction on visual tooling harm the rate of innovation in the .Net world? – Officially the longest blog post title ever, an excellent post that I have been attempting to write for almost a year now (short title synopsis – Why RAD is BAD)
• TDD Antipatterns – A good laugh with a hint of self-awareness
