good read

[Yates, Glen]

I especially like this quote, which I think is good for the MC/Rev crowd.

"Programming languages should be designed to express algorithms, and only
incidentally to tell computers how to execute them. A good programming
language ought to (be) better for explaining software than English. You
should only need comments when there is some kind of kludge you need to warn
readers about, just as on a road there are only arrows on parts with
unexpectedly sharp curves."
