Seen recently on a slashdot post, a site which reviews free online books. That is, actual books, plural and literally - 300+ pages most of em - not your 3 page 'language_x_ in 24 hours' check list, like I've seen before. Of course, each book being reviewed has a link to where you can download the actual book, but you probably figured that out. (science math and computing subject list ) http://www.lightandmatter.com/cgi-bin/asbrowsesubject.cgi?class=Q I offer it here because it has actual books on programming which some of the list members may wish to peruse. While there are no 'straight' C books, there are a few regarding C++, Java, Linux administration, CVS, Perl, CGI, compiler & parsing techniques, and even web publishing - all of which could come in handy to a CircleMUD administrator. They've even got the purple wizard book (Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, for you nonreligious heathens) in a downloadable form. PjD ObCircle: I'm interested in bringing up the discussion about the 'next' major circlemud release potentially being in C++, especially after hearing that there were not a slew of issues left to resolve. I want to hear from the Source[1], what is planned for the future of Circle - and also that which is not planned but what the afforementioned Source(s) would like to have. I already have seen what the CircleMUD community has had to say, perhaps I missed the actual list. It'd be nice to whip the whole system into a sort of linux-kernel-development-type shape; maintainers issue a request for something to be done, someone (else perhaps) does it, and the source maintainers control what is actually added, and what is sent back for revisal. 1 - Source, as in the offical statment from Jeremey, George, or Alex. -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
