Worthwhile reads August '09
And some worthwhile reads:
- Interesting article on how deferred shading compares to light pre-pass rendering. Sounds reasonable.
- Two articles on consequent OO programming style: Perfecting OO's Small Classes and Short Methods and Next Generation Java Programming Style. Even if you don't use them evangelically in every project, it's nice to think about the principles they try to follow.
- Also, I've been reading up on Scala, which looks like such a nice language. It has some WTFs, but after a small discussion in irc, it seems understandable why they followed that path. Just need to find out why they dropped checked exceptions and if there's a way to force 'em. Next project in Scala, please!
