Introducing a new Forum: Bunkhouse Lounge !
One of our new members, Pallavi Sadit, suggested we have a "Book of the Month" feature. We think it's a great idea! So for the month of August we are going to be reading and talking about Joshua Bloch's "Effective Java". Grab yourself a copy and join us in the Bunkhouse Lounge. The Bunkhouse Lounge is not just for reading books. Starting August 25th Coursera are running a free online course on Algorithmic Thinking and we invite you to join one of our CodeRanch Moderators, Tim Cooke, in working on and talking about the course material. Even if you don't do the course, you're sure to find some great discussions going on.
