A life with Karol
A life with Karol by Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz
A first person account of the life and papacy of John Paul II. Inspiring. Indeed a great Pope, and a book that does him justice.

The Lost Journal of Indiana Jones
The Lost Journal of Indiana Jones
I got this great gift in my birthday and I absolutely loved it! It is a reproduction of Indiana Jones' personal journal seen on the Young Indiana Jones TV show. It is so good it almost makes you believe Indiana Jones is an historical figure (OK, it's not *that* good, but is a nice collector's item).
You can read more about it in the Indiana Jones wiki.

The Science of Indiana Jones
Why Did It Have To Be Snakes: From Science to the Supernatural, The Many Mysteries of Indiana Jones by Lois H. Gresh and Robert Weinberg
It is interesting to look a little more seriously to one of the most successful movie franchises of all times: Indiana Jones. It is a good read and doesn't take the fun out of the movies.
There are also many other books from the same authors.

Software testing: Mocks vs Stubs
Test Double as the generic term for any kind of pretend object used in place of a real object for testing purposes. The name comes from the notion of a Stunt Double in movies. (One of his aims was to avoid using any name that was already widely used.) Meszaros then defined four particular kinds of double:
* Dummy objects are passed around but never actually used. Usually they are just used to fill parameter lists.
* Fake objects actually have working implementations, but usually take some shortcut which makes them not suitable for production (an in memory database is a good example).
* Stubs provide canned answers to calls made during the test, usually not responding at all to anything outside what's programmed in for the test. Stubs may also record information about calls, such as an email gateway stub that remembers the messages it 'sent', or maybe only how many messages it 'sent'.
* Mocks are what we are talking about here: objects pre-programmed with expectations which form a specification of the calls they are expected to receive.

Good Bye Lenin!
Dr. Wagner: You must protect her from any kind of excitement. And I do mean any kind, Mr. Kerner.
Alexander Kerner: Any kind of excitement.
Dr. Wagner: It would be life-threatening.
Alexander Kerner: And this here?

Alexander Kerner: Wouldn't you call this exciting?

Something ImportAnt for Java developers
:-)
ImportAnt is a library for the Apache Ant build tool, very popular for Java programming. It is an open-source project, released under the GNU LGPL license and hosted at SourceForge.
Recently it has been re-envisioned as a Wiki of build file snippets that can be copy-pasted to create custom build files.
Enjoy!
