Good Read

Tuesday, February 6th, 2007

I recently started reading Producting Open Source Software on the web. So far it has been really interesting. I think I have a lot to learn about running a successful open source project. I think one thing I really need to do is go through our webpage and wiki and update/clean it up. That is pretty dull work, but as the author points out it is really important. I may post some more specific thought on it once I have finished reading it.

I also just bought Effective C++, so I’m reading that now. I think I am a decent programmer, but more and more I feel like I just do not know how to use C++ effectively. I know the basic syntax, but I don’t really know what it means. So far, the books has been really good. It’s really dense though, so it’s slow reading. However, I have already learned some good stuff and I am working on incorporating it into Protocce.

I’d be happy to hear your thoughts on either those two resources, or similar resources you are aware of.
