Pusterla Elektronik

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006

  • Calatrava lectures @ MIT – transcripts and a lot of multimedia content. A must see if you’re interested in Calatrava’s works. (0)
  • exploring ActiveRecord – an interesting whitepaper on Ruby on RAILS architecture and how it can be adopted to Java (thanks to James for this pointer). (0)
