Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture by Martin Fowler
1 recommendation
"I'm a practical software developer who usually focuses on rapid development, so a book with a title like this normally puts me off. However, I've been thumbing through a copy at the local bookstore and am really impressed with the practical advice it offers to application developers. It's not specific to the web or database backed applications, but most of the patterns covered are directly app..."
JavaScript: The Good Parts, by Douglas Crockford
1 recommendation
"This short book explains Javascript well, and treats it as a serious programming language instead of just a toy to move things around a web page. Javascript has significant differences from more traditional OO languages, but it can be used to write great software. Now that web browsers (esp. Firefox 3 and Google Chrome) are able to run javascript much more quickly than before, books like this ..."

Perl Best Practices by Damian Conway
2 recommendations
"This book is basically a collection of advices on how to keep your Perl code efficient, clean, and maintainable. Damian is a very opinionated guy, and I don't always agree with him (I love 'unless', and I think inside-out objects are just too kludgy to be useful), but what I like about the book is that it teaches you to write clean, standards-driven, readable code. And I like clean."

2 recommendations
"'The Perl Bible', 'The Camel Book', or simply 'The Perl Book' - call it whatever you want, but it's an essential book to have on every Perl programmer's book shelf. Just be careful to use a real sturdy shelf, because this book definitely has some weight to it. Written by Larry Wall - the creator of Perl programming language himself."

Now you can relive those memories by creating your own classic 8-Bit style games with the Hydra Console Game Development Kit. For beginner to intermediate coders, you need only a minimum of programming experience in any BASIC or C-like language. You ge..."
Understanding How RSS Works
1 recommendation
"It is hard to describe the importance of subscribing to RSS and how valuable it is to users. Subscribing to RSS is like a TIVO. A TIVO allows you to record specific shows that you want to watch. That is what RSS does. It records any new changes to a particular website that you frequently go to and it automatically updates for you."
Texas Instruments TI36X Solar Scientific Calculator

DHTML and CSS for the World Wide Web: Visual QuickStart Guide, 3rd Edition
1 recommendation
"This book is basically part two of the author's book DHTML and CSS for the World Wide Web which introduces CSS and DHTML. This book covers a range of topics that build on some of those covered in the first book and would appear somewhat disjointed if you do not have a copy of the earlier book. It is at an advanced level and assumes that you already have an in-depth understanding of HTML, CSS, ..."
The Magical Sounds of Banco de Gaia by Banco de Gaia
4 recommendations
"Despite the lame cover art and cheesey album title, this is an absolutely fantastic example of electronica as a complex, culture-blending, and highly lyrical (in the sense of telling an overall story w/the music, not w/lyrics per se). An arresting mix of ambient overlays and pounding beats. Excellent for a high-adrenaline or endorphin-inducing work-out trail-running or mtn biking, as well as wh..."
Lego Mindstorms NXT

"Wow. This. Rocks. I just received mine as a gift and have loved playing with it so far. My son Ian and I built the first robot in about 1/2 an hour. Ian was able to pick up how to program it in their visual language in just a few minutes, even though he has never programmed anything before. He built a robot that drives forwards until it hits something, says "oops, sorry", backs up and spins..."

The C Programming Language (2nd Edition): Books
