PHP and MySQL Web Development (4th Edition) (Developer's Library)

175 reviews
Luke Welling, Laura Thomson

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2008

The ONLY Book You Will Ever Need To Master PHP/MySQL
I cracked open this book knowing only basic HTML. About halfway through it, I was a website developer. By the end of the book, I was a website professional with highly sought after skills. This book is not only written well, but is written in a manner that kept my short-spanned attention all the way through with plenty of momentum. Possibly the only computer book I have ever read all the ...

I.O.U.S.A.: One Nation. Under Stress. In Debt.

6 reviews
Addison Wiggin, Kate Incontrera

Wiley, 2008

Great intro to the debt crisis
Enlightening. I bought the book after seeing the movie. Both helped me understand parts of the debt crisis that I didn't fully get before. Some of the dangers it warns against seem to be unfolding now. I've developed a far more skeptical attitude towards the stock market recently, largely because of IOUSA. This skepticism has helped me dodge some of the recent equity losses. I realize ...

Empire of Debt: The Rise of an Epic Financial Crisis

William Bonner, Addison Wiggin

Wiley, 2006

Who was surprised?
I just finished the book in time to turn on the news that my bank, WaMu, has been seized and sold in one motion. Now the boys in Washington are telling us that they were caught by surprise and have to craft a solution that needs to be passed in days if not hours. President George "Chicken Little" Bush has appeared to tell us that we will face the fires of hell if we don't pass his (and his ...

Aaron Hillegass

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2008

C# ASP.NET Developer Learning XCode
I currently am a Web App Developer who uses C# and Visual Studio. I have been using macs forever and wanted to learn how to code for the iPhone and figured this is the best place to start learning Objective-C. This book is very good at explaining Objective-C and how to write code for it. I am at the eighth chapter and already am writing my own code. I downloaded the examples in the book and ...

Java Concurrency in Practice

51 reviews
Brian Goetz, Tim Peierls, ...

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2006

The best book on Java concurrency out there.
As others have written, this is the best book out there on Java concurrency. I am a decent journeyman coder, not a guru, and this helped me wrap my head around what is involved with concurrency. Concurrency is in many ways orthogonal to the rest of Java programming, so it's good to get a clear and authoritative guide. I still avoid multi-threading whenever possible, but if I have to go there, I ...

The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering, Anniversary Edition (2nd Edition)

Frederick P. Brooks

Addison-Wesley Professional, 1995

Excellent & Highly Recommended Book
I have read this book twice now. Once in college and once again now 5 years later. While I did not get much out of it 5 years ago, now that I have been in the industry a few years, it is a VERY good re-read.

Erica Sadun

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2008

How I launched StationStops for iPhone
As a Linux developer, I had never touched a Mac for development in my life, but really wanted to launch my own iPhone app, StationStops for iPhone, which gives users offline access to Metro-North Grand Central train timetables. Although due to NDA restrictions the book was delayed, when it finally did come out in PDF and finally book form, it was a critical piece to getting my iPhone app out ...

Advanced Windows Debugging (Addison-Wesley Microsoft Technology Series)

18 reviews
Mario Hewardt, Daniel Pravat

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2007

Unequaled
I have little to add to the effusive praise of previous reviewers. This is a one-of-kind book. An instant classic. Beware, however. As others have noted, this is definitely an _advanced_ book. If you're not comfortable with arcane command syntax, bits and bytes, and such this will be painful to incomprehensible for you. On the other hand, I dare say you will never be a true Master ...

41 reviews

More Effective C#: 50 Specific Ways to Improve Your C# (Effective Software Development Series)

3 reviews
Bill Wagner

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2008

Excellent book
I've read the 1st book 3 times and I've been awaiting a follow up since. The wait has paid off and Bill has done a terrific job on this one as well. Bill's writing style is consistent(as always) and he explains advanced concepts in a easy to follow manner.The biggest payoff for me was to meet Bill at PDC and have him sign my copy :)

Garden Spells (Bantam Discovery)

165 reviews
Sarah Addison Allen

Bantam Discovery, 2008

I think I was hit by an apple!
As I started reading this novel, I became aware that I was totally spellbound. Was it by unsurpassed literary prose? No, not really, as I found the writing rather simplistic. Was it because the characters had unusual stories to tell? Well, not really, again! Was there anything unusual about these two sisters' attempting to reconcile their long lost relationship, or that they were suffering ...

Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code (Addison-Wesley Object Technology Series)

139 reviews
Martin Fowler, Kent Beck, ...

Addison-Wesley Professional, 1999

Must have in any developers collection
I was referred to this book from a colleague after a quick discussion on "Replace temp with Query" in our projects code base. I thought I knew it all as a software developer, but reading this book, I soon came to realize that as a software developer I was leaving a legacy of code that was not at the standard it should be. This book opened my eyes to some really simple concepts, for example, ...

Scott Meyers

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2005

A book to read after knowing c++ syntax
You have read some newbie book like 'Thinking in C++' (as I did) or 'The C++ programming language', and wonder where to go next? 'Effective C++' book is your next step. Each item is a new world you might not know yet. I'm glad I purchased this book in paper. After reading 1/3 of it I already knew that the book is worth all the time I would spend on it, so I purchased the other 2 books - 'More ...

Enterprise Integration Patterns: Designing, Building, and Deploying Messaging Solutions (Addison-Wesley ...

34 reviews
Gregor Hohpe, Bobby Woolf

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2003

Excellent book for Software Architect and Software Engineer
Many books have been written about SOA, but most of them are just about the theory of SOA. It's important for Software Architects and Software Engineers to understand the theory, but just knowing the theory is not enough to develop system utilizing SOA principles. This book fits nicely to bridge the gap between theory and practice. It contains not only the theory behind the patterns that can ...

The Feynman Lectures on Physics including Feynman's Tips on Physics: The Definitive and Extended Edition

40 reviews
Richard P. Feynman, Robert B. Leighton, ...

Addison Wesley, 2005

The Greatest Physics Tutorial Ever Written
Feynman doesn't just teach physics in these books: he teaches you to think like a physicist should. One complaint I've heard is that there's not enough math in them. "Too many words." (Kinda reminds you of Armadeus.) There are plenty of books that have the math. These books offer insight -- something that is very hard to come by in formal physics education. The introductory material in ...
