How do you tell the good tech books from the bad? Ask someone who is good at that technology. Too shy? O'Reilly and Pragmatic Programmer books are generally good, and you can often get good recommendations by searching on StackOverflow or SearchYC (http://searchyc.com/rails+book http://searchyc.com/rails+book).
- stonemetal 16y agoAmazon book reviews and never buy a book you haven't held in your hands, are pretty much the two rules I follow. The idea is basically widen what books in the field you have heard of through amazon, then get a hold of them some how(I usually get an inter library loan for a few weeks) to check depth and writing style. So far skipping step two has stuck me with books I didn't really appreciate.
