		<description><![CDATA[A creed is a statement of belief or faith often recited as part of a religious service or organizational gathering.  The word &#8220;creed&#8221; derives from the Latin credo (I believe) or credimus (we believe).  Perhaps the oldest is Apostle&#8217;s Creed cited in Christianity.  However, the Rifleman&#8217;s Creed is arguably the most famous, made popular by [...]]]></description>

Many experts cite an order-of-magnitude productivity difference between the &#8220;best&#8221; and &#8220;average&#8221; programmers.
