Dude, awesome!

- I would suggest feeding in some of the dev kits from Digikey. The Parallax devices are pretty spiffy, as is the XMOS XCore.

- What about a magstripe reader?

- Include a Lisp book... On Lisp or perhaps Practical Common Lisp? ;)



Great ideas! Thanks for contributing -- I hadn't thought of that. And yes. I think the site is going to need a Lisp book. Possibly Haskell as well. I want to keep the normals off there as long as possible. ;)


I am sure the Learn You A Haskell Guy would love to see his book receive more distribution. He's really nice, you should ask him.

And the bookhas the distinction of being on of the ONLY approachable and natural explanations of monadic programming.


Awesome, I'll definitely check the book out.


The new "Land of Lisp" book scares the hell out of normals, not just because it's about Lisp - http://landoflisp.com/ ;). Also, it's a great book.


Real World Haskell is a pretty solid Haskell book too.
