[Edu-sig] Edu-sig Digest, Vol 157, Issue 6

[Peter Farrell]

Great links, Kirby,

Love reading the stories of how the young programmers got their start on a
website just to build worlds for their virtual pets.

And the comment that programming is like solving a puzzle, and the great
feeling you get when you solve a problem.

Thanks,

Peter
