Landscaping: Completing a Project
All of us know what a subdivision looks like – we’ve all driven through them and visited friends who live in one. All the houses (ignore their similarity for a second) look perfectly finished, with siding or faux stonework and sod covering the yard and lining the driveway. Well I am in the dark about most of the building process, but I can speak about the efforts of the landscaping crews who prepare the ground and lay sod and are often the last people to work on a property.

Thought: Counting Lines of Code
“when did I learn each programming language I know, and how many lines of code have I written in each?”
There are a lot of computer programming languages out there. There are so many that it is unlikely for a single developer to have come across them all, let alone be fluent in each. That being said, the more [computer] languages one knows the better, because they teach different approaches to common problems. For instance, Scheme has no “for” loop, and no “while” loop because of its adherence to pure functions. For some Java programmers that will seem impossible to get around, until in this case the notion of recursion comes to the rescue.

Life as a Teaching Assistant
I have been a teaching assistant (TA) at Carleton University for a few weeks now, so I thought I would give an inside view of what it is like.
It has been an unusual experience for me, considering that I only took the course last year, I am in just my second year, and graduate students are preferred. The course covers first-year introductory Java, a programming language. My duties are pretty modest; just assist students complete their weekly tutorials, and put in some other hours if the professor needs extra help. In theory about 30 students should show up at my tutorial, but usually it’s more like 10-15.
