Here’s a list of some legendary programmers/tech-minds of the computing industry to-date. More brilliant minds will surface I’m sure, but if you know these names, you covered most of the critical people. Of these great people, I’ve had the pleasure to meet in person Bill Gates and Sir Tim Berners-Lee during my tenure at Microsoft. […]

Without it, we’re really ignorant. With it, we’re equipped but not always best educated either. I heard the phrase again and again, “Correlation does not equal causation!” and […]
Running code from within another code (Python)
Most of us who have done any programming know that virtually all languages allow you to execute another program from within a program. For example, you start your program, which may start another process (via calling Execute or the like) that’s a self-contained program by itself, resulting in another process or spawn another thread as […]
