This document has moved!

It's now here, in The Programmer's Compendium. The content is the same as before, but being part of the compendium means that it's actively maintained.

# A queue that you can pass to IO.select.
#
# NOT THREAD SAFE: Only one thread should write; only one thread should read.
#
# Purpose:
#   Allow easy integration of data-producing threads into event loops.  The
#   queue will be readable from select's perspective as long as there are
#   objects in the queue.
#
# Implementation:

Things that programmers don't know but should

I imagine each of these chapters being about 2,000 words, making the whole book about the size of a small novel. For comparison, articles in large papers like the New York Times average about 1,200 words. Each topic gets whatever level of detail I can fit into that space. For simple topics, that's a lot of space: I can probably walk through a very basic, but working, implementation of the IP protocol.

    Problem:
    1. A deploy starts.
    2. A browser starts loading a page.
    3. The deploy finishes.
