I'd lost track of the link to this article, which I'd really liked
when I originally forgot to bookmark it: http://www.norvig.com/21-days.html

Hat tip to Jeff Atwood of "Coding Horror" for pushing it under my nose
again.

Cheers,

Hello cubiclegrrl,

this is also one of my favorite articles. It keeps me going, as my
progress as a programmer often seems very slow.

thanks for sharing it!

Matthew

Though he defected to python when he joined Google, Norvig used to be a
big Lisp hacker: http://norvig.com/paip.html

It's little more math-y, but I also
like http://norvig.com/experiment-design.html.

Matt S:

Hey, thanks for the links. I just had Stats. last semester, so it was
good to see the more hands-on stuff, in lieu of memorizing formulae.

Cheers,

Doreen
