Programming languages:
their history
microsoft's changing programming philosophies
which programming language
- the shootout (where they compare eg; boring old C with every other language under the sun) I thought was quite interesting, because although I thought C was quite difficult to write, I hadn't realised just how much more wordy it needs to be to get the job done. Looking at the different languages, you'd choose the one that makes most sense in the fewest number of lines.. maybe?? Anyway its all interesting .. I thought C++ code would have been way more readable.
