  • Brain was used in old cold cut recipes and still sees use in some specialty restaurants and such. it’s not common (i guess mostly because it spoils faster than most of the rest of the animal), but not unheard off.

    My Grandmother was once very pleased to get her hands on fresh brain, which she basicaly stir fried with eggs and oinions. Me and my brother were not pleased with it, but i think it once was a fairly popular dish in germany and austria.

    so if you know a butcher you trust you might be able to buy cleaned fresh brain. I still would not recommend it, but if it can be used why not?








  • oh, i was not aware that there is a head first just about desgin patterns, thanks for the heads up.

    And Archicture is something that gets more and more important for devs, because it’s likely that the code we write is just a part of a complex system of which we don’t control every part and understanding communication channels and the reasoning behind the setup of the system allows us to write our part in a way that it works well in the bigger thing and not something others (or worse, we) have to work around later.


    • Refactoring by Martin Fowler, having patterns to help identify parts of code that could be changed for the better helps a lot.
    • Test-Driven Development with Python, because testing is important and you should atleast have tests in mind when writing you code, even if you dont write them first. I like this one, because it’s very hands-on.
    • Head first java by Sierra and Bates, good introduction to programming with languages that offer object orientation and not as dry as the gang of four book, but definitely aimed at beginners
    • Fundamentals of Software Architecture by Richards and Ford, working as a programmer often means talking with big picture people or being one yourself, and they have their own strange language.
    • Domain Driven Design by Evans, for a similiar reason as Fundamentals of Software Architecture.
    • Neuromancer by William Gibson, because fun is important ;)
