"This list is for people who want to become Associate Software Engineers at Blizzard. An associate should have skills at the level indicated by these books. Note that this is almost completely focused on C++ programming. This list is incomplete. I need a book on how to become a professional. I've listed several books that give examples of professional behavior, but not one on the actual training."

Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++

by Bjarne Stroustrup

Ruby 2.2.0 now warns against a circular argument reference. It is pretty simple to demonstrate and pretty difficult to explain so I'll just present some code snippets.

The first example shadows a function (which I have encountered in one of the open-source projects I'm involved with):

def foo
  42
end

def bar(foo = foo)

	a + b

	class BugTest < MiniTest::Unit::TestCase
	def setup
	@normal_hash = {a: 18, b: 24} # just a hash

	irb(main):065:0> a = "雷"
	"雷"
