Japanese
From APIDesign
Japanese is another language Practical API Design book is being translated to. There were few other languages the book had been translated too, but as far as I can tell, the Japanese translation (done by Yoshiki Shibata) is going to be the best. Let me tell you why.
The German Obsession
One of my colleagues is a very good engineer and helped me a lot with his integration of Mylyn into NetBeans (enabled by my work on Netbinox). It is always fun to work with him. Once I tried to find out why and asked him about his past. He told me that he used to work in Germany before joining NetBeans. In fact I should have realized that sooner. He likes German cars, because of their quality. He believes a typical engineer should be as pintlich as German engineer. He speaks better German than English and often uses Ja (instead of Yes) even while speaking English.
I am just trying to demonstrate that he thinks about Germany in positive way.
