Is there a "tech blogger of the year" category somewhere so we can nominate this guy? Every single one of his posts is epic. The peri-relational metaphor for shell command composition, this one, and every one before should be required reading.


Thanks for the kind words!

These recent posts are part of the lecture notes for my "Scripting Language Design and Implementation" course.

There are slides that go along with some of them:

http://matt.might.net/teaching/scripting-languages/spring-20...

I prefer spartan slides, so I'm not sure how useful they are without me presenting them.

But, I'll throw them out there since there are a few nuggets in them that are not in the posts.

There are also slides for non-existent posts (e.g. bash), because I don't always have time to transcribe my notes into a blog post.


Hey Matt, to echo yycom's concern below... can you please add dates to your articles? We have context as they're posted today, but it gets muddled 10+ years out.


I would also mention the following 2 articles that constitue an absolutely amazing TODO list:

What every CS major should know (http://matt.might.net/articles/what-cs-majors-should-know/)

12 resolutions for programmers (http://matt.might.net/articles/programmers-resolutions/)



Really? Where are they? Article index is empty.

And article needs a date before any award is bestowed.


Are you being sarcastic? How could one not know that ssh could do these things? Have you been using it instead of telnet?


Save your snark and go read the rest of his blog posts.
