Now Reading: Joel on Software

As the $ is at an all-time low against the €, I got myself a couple of english books.

One of these is Joel on Software. It´s an amusing read, althought a bit dated..

I think that he is wrong about the first choice for teaching programming languages; While he is right that Java is easy and C forces you to learn the internals of your CPU, I know that it is possible to learn about the complexity of algorithms independent of any language.
