Back when I got started in programming (does anyone out there remember vacuum tubes?), a programmer could do his work with just a couple handy binders of reference material. Those days are long gone.
Today's programmers have to wade through millions of semi-relevant documents to find answers. If Google were to disappear, most programming would grind to a complete halt.
Even when Google works, it is daunting to find clear, well-written answers to real-world problems. Scott Hanselman's postings are nuggets of gold, and programmers everywhere owe him a tremendous debt. It's time to pay up.
Scott was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when he was 21. For 12 years, he's lived with this disease, and his contributions during this time have been phenomenal.
Scott and his wife are trying to raise $50,000 to help fight diabetes. We're just a little software company, but we'll be helping him. Please join us by clicking below and spreading the word and/or making a donation.
Thanks.
