tibberous Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I am getting my tax return! What are some things that are really worth the money? Personally, I think the best money I ever spent was for Lasik - $1,000 for 20/20 vision. Worst was ITT Tech, $33,000, that will be like $60,000 w/ interest.

ignace Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I generally spend my money (whether or not tax returns) on books (and the occasional training). My current stack: Design Patterns, Erich Gamma Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture, Martin Fowler Applying UML and Patterns, Craig Larman Domain-Driven Design, Eric Evans PHP Pocket Reference, Rasmus Lerdorf Expert PHP & MySQL, A. Curioso Web Engineering, ICWSE Conference Spain 97 things every programmer should know, Kevlin Henney & Adrian Wible (with help from Robert C.

oni-kun Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 A few programming books I've admired, to be gotten at Amazon. Maybe a couple dozen pairs of lounge pants so I don't have to wash them so often. My computers already have enough thousands put into them, enough so the "latest foo-fah" won't be worth upgrading to for a few more years to come. All I want right now is to go to somewhere fancy cheap and order pizza for dinner.
