Weekend Math and Science - Resources for PhD Students in Computer Science
As you may have noticed on my profile I have started a PhD program in Computer Science. Program consists of mandatory computer science classes and doctoral research.
One of the most challenging parts of the doctoral study is so called qualifier exam where candidates have to pass a multi-hour written and verbal exam covering core areas of the computer science.
I will be taking my qualifier exam

2008 - Year in Review, Part 2
It's really been quite a year for my current favorite types of development (Rich Internet Apps, General Web, and Mobile Dev). There have been all sorts of new APIs, libraries, toolkits, and IDE releases that have changed the landscape and set us up for what will surely be another crazy year in 2009. Hereare some more of my favorite releases in 2008 - post others that you've enjoyed.
