Can anyone make any recommendations?
- mechanician 16y ago"Programming Collective Intelligence" by Toby Segaran.
- fredoliveira 16y agoGreat recommendation. I personally enjoyed that book tremendously.
- toby 16y agoThanks! I appreciate the support!
- markmywords 16y agoThanks for writing such a great book. One of the treasures in my (ever growing) collection and I am even citing it in one of my papers I currently write :)
- wooster 16y agoThanks for the fantastic book. :-)
- kaykay 16y agoI just got a copy of this, meaning to read this for a long time.
- fredoliveira 16y agoHere's a few recent buys: - Javascript: The Good Parts (http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596517748/) - High Performance Javascript (http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596802806/) It's always a good time to buy a few classics: - Information Architecture for the WWW (http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596527341/) - Javascript: The definitive guide (http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596101992/) - Beautiful Code (http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596510046/)
- subsection1h 16y ago> Javascript: The definitive guide I'm waiting for the 6th edition: http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596805531 http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596805531
- phjohnst 16y agoYou get free updates on eBooks, eh
- Lazlo_Nibble 16y agoDo you get free updates across editions? Seems unlikely to me.
- psyklic 16y agoYou get 50% off future ebook editions.
- mattyb 16y agoI'm buying 'R in a Nutshell' and 'The Art of Debugging with GDB and DDD'.
- Jun8 16y agoTheir server seems to be swamped. There's nothing like a unresponsive server to sober you up from a whimsical book purchase on a FRiday. I was trying to buy: * Making Things Talk (great into to networking with low-level HW) * The Best of Instructables (excellent selection of mostly simple projects, includes IKEA hacking)
- slantyyz 16y agoNice choices. I guess 70% savings is always enough to get everyone to take down their server.
- johkra 16y agoI'm getting Confessions of a Public Speaker, I was long interested in this book.
- tmsh 16y ago97 Things Every Programmer Should Know (ed. Kevlin Henney) is sort of nice reading. All pretty smart ideas so far, imho. Though I haven't finished reading it. (Like a lot of O'Reilly books these days, it's available in a free (legal) form on the internet too http://programmer.97things.oreilly.com/wiki/index.php/Contributions_Appearing_in_the_Book http://programmer.97things.oreilly.com/wiki/index.php/Contri... )
- runevault 16y agoI grabbed Hadoop: The Definitive Guide Tomcat: The definitive Guide 2nd ed (this one I have access to via ACM membership but those rotate out potentially so eh) Head first Statistics (my math skills are beyond rusty, and the head first books tend to be good. However either due to overload or something, while I was able to place my order, the books are not showing up in my available list yet. Figure I'll give them until tomorrow then throw an email at them asking what's wrong.
- mattyb 16y agoYep, same here. My order went through but the books haven't showed up yet.
- sriramk 16y agoMy book 'Programming Windows Azure' just came out today. :) I feel bad about plugging it here but hey, I put heart & soul into it for the last one year so I feel justified :). Obligatory O'Reilly and Amazon links http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596801984 http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596801984 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0596801971 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0596801971 If it helps, I need to point out that my book is chock-full of Star Trek, BSG and Monty Python references and the surprising backstory of how Windows Azure's orginal code name came to be. :)
