		<description><![CDATA[
Picked up my copy of Head First Design Patterns today (I&#8217;d ordered it in a couple of weeks ago). So far I&#8217;m loving it.

I&#8217;d been eyeing this book off for a while since reading the sample chapter for this and for Head First Java The presentation style looks like it should be childish and silly, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hmmm&#8230; salaries are going up again Speaking as an employee, not an employer, this sounds like good news. :)

One quote, however, which qualifies as a blinding flash of the totally obvious, was this one:
Candidates were loyal to their skills and their careers, rather than to employers, Ms Bianchini said.
Well, duh. Employers aren&#8217;t loyal to their [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had a comment lodged on an older article recently. The poster was complaining about the poor quality of the JWebFit sub-project of JWebUnit In particular, he was complaining about how it meant their project wasn&#8217;t delivered on time. There&#8217;s an anti-pattern here.

First, I&#8217;ll acknowledge that the JWebFit documentation is very poor. In fact, I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Paul Graham wrote about The Python Paradox. Unlike his earlier talk, this one actually had a good point.

A person who goes out of his or her way to learn a non-mainstream language is obviously interested in programming, not just doing it for a job. While Paul&#8217;s focus on Python may be a bit obsessive, it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In many ways, the essence of my role at work is to foster a learning community. This is more than just a &#8220;learning environment&#8221; &#8211; all a learning environment does is to supply resources for learning. Essentially, it&#8217;s passive, just like any environment is.

A learning community, however, is active. The people in the community (in [...]]]></description>
