Responsive Design - Interesting

One of the things I really appreciate about Kent Beck is that he constantly is thinking about how people do things, especially in programming software. He does not seem to take for granted anything related to how we work. Always wanting to look deeper and find out why and how we as programmers do our work then he tries to articulate what he has learned for others to learn from and build on. A couple of examples of his sharing are Extreme Programming (XP) and Test Driven-Development (TDD). In recent, years Kent has been studying and researching Design.

Here is an article summarizing some of his thoughts about Responsive Design.

Definitely, food for thought. I look forward to more information on his research and results.

Version Control By Example - Cool

Appreciation of good and pedagogical examples is one of my Learning Languages. A while back I came upon this website that offers a free book on version control. Everything from VCS (SVN) to DCS like Git and Mercurial is touched on in this document.

I have a quick link to Version Control By Example when I want to share Version Control or to learn something new. I even keep a pdf version on my laptop. Have a look and see if it is useful to you.
