Sumatra PDF 0.3 released.

I’ve released version 0.3 of my small and simple PDF Viewer for Windows. This version has following improvements over 0.2:

  • added toolbar for most frequently used operations
  • should be more snappy because rendering is done in background
    and it caches one page ahead
  • some operations are faster

Talk on designing good APIs

If you’re writing code, there is a video of a good talk by Joshua Bloch on designing good APIs. It has a Java slant, since Joshua is one of designers of Java APIs, but the advice is generic enough to apply to other languages.

Beware the video: it’s in flash but uses a bad player that cannot be paused (well, it can, I just couldn’t unpause it) so be prepared to sit through all 70 minutes of it at once. To all video providers: please also provide a version that I can download and watch in my favorite player at my leisure.
