There is nothing worse than sloppy code! You can dress sloppy, you can speak sloppy, you can live in a pig's sty, but please don't develop sloppy code for other's to take care of.

Read this book and follow the suggestions, and you will place yourself on the elite side of the bell curve with respect to your programming skills.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Beginners book, May 1 2001
I just loved this book. It gives the novice a very good sampling of the future of Artificial Intellegence and Artificial Life. I particularly enjoyed the chapter on the discovery of machine virus'. Somewhat dated, but an extremely good read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Organic Life is Doomed, May 1 2001
Read this book if you what to understand where our society is headed in the near future. Gregory S. Paul and Earl D. Cox have put together some extremely well thought out theories of where the computer revolution is taking us. They base these theories on a wealth of facts from the past and present.

The biggest revelation for me was realizing that the advancement in knowledge and computing power is a result of the driving force of information exchange. There are many underlying similarities to thermodynamics, and this book hints at this. Evolution, Thermodynamics, Biology, Material Science, and Information Technology are all discussed in the book. If this book is right, the next fifty years will be illuminating.
