Good Programmers Steal Great Code.

I think the reason why I like programming is that unlike other forms of writings, there is no such thing as plagiarism. In fact programmers are openly encouraged to reuse good design and codes. Reusability is the key feature of programming. In programming, when people use your codes, it is definitely a form of flattery. "Good programmers write good code; Great programmers steal great code." However, looking for good code snippets is not an easy task. And not everything can be used out of the box. You got to be able to understand the codes, and know what to use. In fact, the easiest way to learn programming is through actual coding with sample codes. Having said all that, programming is also about creativity and logical reasoning skills.

On the topic of programming, have you ever wonder how programming languages can be described as different types of women? Well someone just did that. I am not sure whether such women exist, but they definitely fit some of the characteristics of programming languages quite well. heh heh. Well I like the descriptions about Ms. Java and Ms. C#. Very very true...

And here are some reasons for you to learn C... No wonder that is the programming language used in SC103, Introduction To Programming. =p

While my one-year-old is going for his first steps, I am also learning to walk (again). 2011 was full of ups and downs.  I was promoted for the 2nd time in my first job. Not fantastic but not bad either after six years. The challenging issues justifies for the few more dollars increment to the stipend. Murphy is my good friend. With only the final milestone left, I hope to overcome all odds and pull the rabbit outta the hat in 2012! If I am lucky, I may run another project.  For the consecutive year, I expended all my medical leave. After hearing my story, some may say 父爱是伟大的. Some may think I was pure clumsy. As my son likes to watch basketball playing, I decided to show him how to do it myself. At first I felt good, I got it plenty of shots. Unfortunately, I broke my ACL while chasing after the ball. It has been two months and my knee is still weak and hurts occasionally. I plan to go for surgery in 2012, while performing the balancing act of pulling the rabbit and recup...
