I've taken it upon myself to learn a couple of new programming languages and frameworks and aside from sheer practice I usually start by learning from an O'Reilly book or other technical "bibles". While most have been very helpful I'd like to know the steps or methods others use to best comprehend what's taught. Not to say that I'm struggling through the readings, it would be extremely helpful to know how a seasoned professional approaches new or existing material to build upon his or her foundation of knowledge.

I started reading Tanenbaum's Distributed Systems book a while ago. I read about two phase locking and timestamp reordering in transactions chapter. While having a deeper look from google I heard of lightweight transactions/lightweight transactional memory. But I couldn't find any good explanation and implementation. So what is lightweight memory? What are the benefits of lightweight locks? And how can I implement them?

In tutorials and books, I have never seen a single word describing the object that the injected object is injected into. Instead, other terms are used, like "injection point" which don't denote the object containing the injected object. And nothing I can think of sounds right, except maybe "injection target" - but I have never read it anywhere.
Is there a single word or a simple expression for it, or is it like the "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" from a recent fantasy book series?

Still doing all your search engine marketing tasks yourself? So... how come your site is not on the first page of Google?

You have to keep your eyes and ears open to see any link building opportunity that might have come your way. Mere awareness of your competitors' strategy can help you know certain things which no other SEO book on the web can tell you about.

I picked up a book to learn Visual basic but cannot install it on my system after I download it from this site: http://www.microsoft.com/express/Windows/. I'm assuming my pc is the problem, but have no idea where to start. It seems to stat installing, but then I get a pop up that says: "Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition with SP1 ENU has encountered a problem during setup. Setup did not c...
I dont know if I should start digging into Python beforehand just to get acquanited with programming and "whet my appetite" or if I should work on the C++ book...
Python definitely has more resources around town and I like the beginner friendly approach that seems to go along with every site that appeals to it.
Or should I just wait for my assignments that start in 4 months? Any tips for an aspiring programmer?

Search engine optimization is not magic and there is no course book and no formal rules to learn. Effective SEO services are acquired from experience and expertise and are used in tracing the movements and behaviors of various search engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN etc.
Bjarne Stroustrup mentions in his book "The C++ Programming Language, 4th Edition" that not all C++ implementations use files to store and compile code:
There are systems that do not store, compile, and present C++ programs
to the programmer as sets of files.
(Chapter 15, page 419)
Later in the chapter, he reiterates that certain implementations do not use files but he does not give any examples.
How would such an environment function compared to a more common file-based environment?

Is it true what I read that Intel and Motorola are moving from CISC to a programming model more like RISC/MIPS? Why?
From the famous book "Computer Architecture" by Hennessay which usually is recommended around here:
Recent implementations of the x86 architecture actually translate x86
instruction into simple operation that look like MIPS instuctions....
Page 335. What does this mean specifically? Can you show me an example?

I have a mac book pro (7200 rpm / 8GB ram) and I like the idea of virtualized development environments as I like to experiment with different technologies and don't like to have environmental cross contamination. I would like to know for the vm's I run (rarely 2 at time..almost always 1 vm at a time) should the virtual hdd be on my laptops native hdd or some external form (usb hdd, usb flash, or since i have mac express card based sad ?). I don't mind maxing out my ram to 16GB if thats a better option to have in the mix.
Thank you
I'm currently looking for a good reference/guide for design patterns and in my search I've found the following three books highly recommended:
Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software
Pattern Hatching: Design Patterns Applied
Design Patterns Explained: A New Perspective on Object-Oriented Design
I can't decide which book (if any) to purchase. So, my question is this: What are the fundamental differences between these books?
Welcome to the home page for my new book. Come back soon for a sample chapter....Did you know that DotNetSlackers also publishes .net articles written by top known .net Authors? We already have over 80 articles in several categories including Silverlight. Take a look: here.
In John Jantsch's book "The Referral Engine" talking about search engine optimization he says: "It has become extremely difficult to achieve any measure of success for important keyword phrases without the use of social media. (The flip side is that the organizations that take advantage of social media can dominate, particularly within industries slow to adapt.)"
The most recent critical change to how Google displays search results is the improvement and increased use of "local map" displays for search. Adding the map and phone book style results changes how much real estate is available for SEO's to compete. Getting a "Top 10" is no longer good enough, most screens can only show two or three organic entries after the new and improved map.
