This Week’s Link List (June 18, 2010)
I missed posting a Link List last week (I posted resources from my DPC presentation instead), so some of these links may seem a bit dated. And, some are, in fact, a bit old, but I found them to be very helpful in preparing for my DPC presentation…I think they are still very good reading. In any case, here’s the links that got my attention this week (or in the last two weeks :-))…
