* How To Write Unmaintainable Code
Instead of writing about maintainable code, Roedy Green found that people were more receptive to hearing about all the goofy things people often do to muck it up. Learn what not to do when writing Java and other programming languages. http://mindprod.com/unmain.html Roedy Green, Mar. 18, 2002
