Links to my java.net posts.

I initially starting posting to a weblog on java.net. I like the blogs.sun.com site better so in the future I intend to just blog here. Also the folks on java.net want you to just talk Java (seems fair), so even though my posts would have been appropriate for a Java audience, I had intended them to be more general.

So I'm going to post pointers to them from here. Anybody interested can check them out.

The Elements of Programming Style
Revisiting some of these elements 25 years on and seeing that they are still very relevant today.
When to release
Some thoughts on various things related to the release process for open source projects.
Extensible Open Source projects
How providing extensible functionality to your open source project can make it much more useful.
The ever-changing book buying process
How the Web has influenced the way I buy books and what can be done to find a bargain.
Open Source portability
People should think of open source code portability on two levels; system/library calls and graphical calls.
