Big worlds
Joel Spolsky has posted a new essay on programming: "Lord Palmerston on Programming." Joel writes about how vast the pools of knowledge programmers need to master to become really expert in each of the many programming "worlds" that are popular today. [Scott Rosenberg's Links & Comment]
Joel works in a different world than I. The world I work in changes too rapidly to spent 10 years learning it. If I need to "name four ways to FTP a file from Visual Basic code and the pros and cons of each" I can find it on the web. People have to deliver software in environments only recently invented. I think he is wrong but i guess that is why his expertise is project management.

I am reorganizing my categories today. If I post a picture to the "Photography" category an "update" occurs for that category but not for the main blog. I am going to have to think about the behaviour I want here.

Very cool. Here is interactive look into the "Massive" system used to animate characters in action sequences for the Lord of the Rings. Much of this will probably end up on the desktop in a couple of years. [John Robb's Radio Weblog]

Applications, User Interfaces, and Servers in the Soup.
Andy Oram:
Services are now a fixture of computing, whether it's local to a single system or on a network. Two parallel innovations, component models and the Internet, have propelled software designers to break up applications into clients and servers -- sometimes multiple, cascading servers.
[Matt Croydon::postneo]
I certainly agree with this, one of the first thinngs we do once design starts is to break up the app intp clients and servers.
