Programming as Theory Building

Peter Naur, 1985

(copied from http://alistair.cockburn.us/ASD+book+extract%3A+%22Naur,+Ehn,+Musashi%22)

Introduction

The present discussion is a contribution to the understanding of what programming is. It suggests that programming properly should be regarded as an activity by which the programmers form or achieve a certain kind of insight, a theory, of the matters at hand. This suggestion is in contrast to what appears to be a more common notion, that programming should be regarded as a production of a program and certain other texts.

Learning Computer Security

About This Guide

This is an opinionated guide to learning about computer security (independently of a university or training program), starting with the absolute basics (suitable for someone without any exposure to or knowledge of computer security) and moving into progressively more difficult subject matter.

It seems that most people don't realize how much information is actually available on the internet. People love to share (especially geeks) and everything you need to become well versed in computer security is already available to you (and mostly for free). However, sometimes knowing where to start is the hardest part - which is the problem that this guide is intended to address. Therefore, this guide can accuratley be described as a 'guide to guides', with additional recommendations on effective learning and execises, based on my own experiences.

Many of the free resources are the best resources and this guide focuses on them. It is intended to provided a comprehensive

#Don’t Repeat Yourself (DRY) in Ruby on Rails

#DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself)  is a principle of Software Development to reducing repetition of information or codes. We can #apply DRY quite broadly to database schema, test plan, system, even documentation. And in this post, we will take example of DRY #in Ruby on Rails development.

#In particular case, if you find some methods whose definitions are more or less similar, only different by the method name, it #may use meta programming to simplify the things to make your model more clean and DRY. Consider this simple example where we #have an article with three states.
