Apple seems to be taking another turn towards open source software. The spinning off of the cli build tools into an smaller package makes like easier for tools like homebrew and fink. Supporting projects like this is a very good sign.

Its worse getting dropped into $USER_FRIENDLY_EDITOR_OF_THE_MOMENT. It's cool that the sys admin or the distro developer loves to use pico, nano, joe whatever, but I just want to make my change and move on.

I now have a massively irrational desire to acquire one of these boards. I already own an arduino I barely touch, but the idea of having a unix at the center of a hack is very appealing.

Personally I cannot learn from a book where I am just given concepts and supposed to find a solution. I find reading other code to be a much better learning method. I have seen most students prefer to presented with a whole working program

The first chapter of K&R is a tutorial introduction, it explains the entire workings of the C language for someone familiar to programming in a small number of pages(It misses pointers, but it covers a lot). Every book on a language nee
