I want to learn expression blend in detail. is there any good book available in the market for Blend4?
Expression-Blend 4(expression -Studio) was released less than one month.(exactly 29 day). So there is no any book available now .
But 2 book come early and u can check them when they are released:
1) Foundation Expression Blend 4 with Silverlight by Victor Gaudioso (released time: Aug 31 2010) by appress
2) Expression Blend 4 Unleashed by Brennon Williams (released time: Nov 15, 2010) by sams
I've found Expression Blend in Action by Joel Cochran to be excellent. It's written from a developers point of view (rather than a designers).

Trying to master Ruby (not rails yet). What book would you recommend reading next?
Pickaxe
Well Grounded Rubyist
?
My background... I have a CS degree, I feel like I have absorbed the first two books and am getting quite comfortable with Ruby. I want to get better at the Ruby language before I head into Rails.
Next I'd recommend "Eloquent Ruby" (Russ Olsen) and "Ruby Best Practices" (Greg Brown).

There are many applications to recognize similar faces. The most popular is Picasa. How do these applications do the following?
1) Detect face
2) Check for similar in database.
I would read this paper "Robust Real-Time Face Detection" to get started
also this one is interesting

I am relative new in Ruby world. And I don't know, what to think. In 'The Ruby Programming Language' I read I shouldn't use Continuations in new code and use Fibers instead. I found this presentation (from 2008) http://www.atdot.net/~ko1/pub/ContinuationFest-ruby.pdf which says that Continations are broken and creators of their Ruby's implementations are criminals.
On the other hand I read a few blogs where authors were showing their excitement about continuations and they didn't sad anyhing about continuations bugs.
So I don't know what to think. I know than it is better to use Fibers instead of Continuations, but what to do when Fibers aren't enough? Can I use Continuations or are they broken (presentation from 2008 says it)?
Why Matz kicked Continuations to stdlib? Why there are votes, he will kick it out from Ruby?

At the present, there are a lot of SLAM algorithms out there, for example, a number of open-sources of SLAM in http://openslam.org/
What is the most famous one by now?
If I gonna choose one, What is the basic criterion I need to be considered for choosing one SLAM among the others?

I need learn some algorithms. What is the best collection of algorithm exercises that is like Project Euler?
These are the ones that I know of, which are good and are used by many programmers.
