Things that programmers don't know but should

(A book that I might eventually write!)

Gary Bernhardt

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.

Anyone who figures out how to contact me is welcome to contribute.

the spoon incident in Canada, which really turned out to be the fault of the boy;
Art Bell's racist comments against Pinoys, actually a hoax
Filipinos getting angry over the Faye Nicole San Juan incident, which later turned out to be a hoax
Claire Danes goes to the Philippines; gets declared persona non grata after making a few remarks that some people didn't like hearing
Americans go to Jollibee and get flamed by a thousand angry Pinoys who can't bear the thought that other cultures might be weirded out by other cultures

	I'd like to share an idea for a RailsGirls followup activity.

	I noticed that having your stuff deployable and out on the net is a very powerful source of inspiration.
	For me it makes me keep on working on it, just knowing that other people can see it.

	One of the stumbling blocks in learning Rails is deployment. It's an advanced topic that is oddly too often taught in intro courses.
	Forget about teaching deployment. Let's just give the newbs a ready-to-use VPS.
