Stumbled across this site: Programmer Competency Matrix

It’s a pretty good summary of the different levels of programmer competence in a lot of areas. Mostly I’m finding it useful in seeing where I’m at and getting suggestions on what to look into next in an effort to become better at programming and software development.

Quick Note: LaTeX

In learning how to use LaTeX for showing math formulas, I have found the online LaTeX Previewer extremely useful. You type in LaTeX, hit a button, and it shows you what it looks like.

First Post.

I’ve been scouring the web off and on lately looking for interesting things to read. The kind of things that you’d book mark in a “Read Later” folder. Most of these things tend to be computer/programming related. I did a quick search on Google and Google Reader to see if I could find another blog out there that sort of cataloged these things, but I didn’t have any luck.

So I thought I’d start one.

This blog will generally be for posting links to, and maybe some reflection on, other peoples content: the kind of stuff I find interesting from a technical standpoint, stuff like papers and theory and whatnot. Stuff like white papers, pages on algorithms, articles about stuff I learned in college but have forgotten about, blog posts about some new take on software development process…really just about anything I think other programmers might find interesting to read about.
