I teach web design, and I make those remarks in class all the time! Second, I think you are right on point. I will be posting a link to this from my blog, and have already shared this with my students via Twitter and Facebook. Thanks for taking the time to put together such an exhaustive resource. I will be re-visiting this page often as I try to keep up with the current trends! First off, not all ladies stopped reading right after the Star Wars reference.

Thank you. To be completely honest, we might as well be twins. I had to laugh out loud a couple of times as I read your article (and I actually have my own office, so that must have seemed weird to my co-workers). Nothing new to say here, except: Thanks for the links and resources. When I interviewed with Amazon, they grilled me on a few "puzzles" that were of FB Hors d'oeuvre and Snack caliber. A little practice with some of those puzzles would go a long way -- even if you only did it once a week. And especially if you're self-taught, working with similar challenges over and over, and not having too much exposure to the other 90% of what's going on in programming. Be well, do good work, and keep in touch! Great work! Thank you.

It's really a matter of enthusiasm and understanding that you will never know even half of what the world has to offer. It's great to see this passion on someone else :) It may sound strange but I am a medical student passionate for programming and arts, developing a new company from scratch with my best friend who is studying graphic design. We're new and fresh, open to all that this fantastic world of technology has to offer. Thank you for sharing such insightful information and showing what computer science really is about. Cheers, and once again great post ;) You’ve left me speechless while reading your article.
