I think I’ve gushed embarrassingly on this blog before about my admiration for Julian Bucknall. One of the things I always enjoyed about his articles in the Delphi Magazine is that he does a very good job of taking you through the workings of an algorithm without it becoming boring.

In his recent post about the need for a better grounding in Computer Science amongst developers, he points out some sites that do this visually, using Java applets (Java Models and Exact String Matching). Very cool. If only I’d had Julian or these sites available when I was doing my CS degree.

Oh, also just noticed that he mentions he’s back writing for The Delphi Magazine 🙂
