Daniel0 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 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. Martin amongst others) I'm going to fork that thread instead of hijacking it. What kind of technical (i.e. non-fiction) books do you have that are applicable to web development, programming or computer science? My list (in the order I found them lying around all over the place): Mastering Regular Expressions Pragmatic Thinking & Learning Introduction to Programming Using SML Introduction to Algorithms (CLRS) Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP) The Pragmatic Programmer The Mythical Man-Month Introduction to Programming and Object-Oriented Design Using Java The Smashing Book Java Precisely Introduction to Data Management Systems (custom print based on Database Systems: The Complete Book and Web Services: Principles and Technology) Discrete Mathematical Structures Objektorienteret analyse og design ("Object Oriented Analysis and Design"; book in Danish) I haven't finished all the books yet though.

Right, I'd also like to point out that my list is not an endorsement. I also left out ebooks.

oni-kun Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 From way back when, When I did VB .NET: Object Oriented Programming in VB.Net VB.NET Code Level Security Handbook And other for web, Generic really: O'Reilly Web Security Testing Cookbook O'Reilly Apache Security HTTP Developer's Handbook A few others from the library awhile back I can't remember, I really should get a few on MySQL/Regular expressions, It'd fill in a lot of the content that is beyond what I can get from the web. (Maybe I can be of more actual help, hehe.) My birthday is in a week, Maybe i'll fetch some for myself. Note to self: Bookmark this page for things to buy.

Mchl Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 In case anyone's interested, Manning Publications has a 50% discount on all their ebooks today. Happy #EarthDay--Save trees and stock up on ebooks! 50% off on all ebooks TODAY ONLY. Use code "earthday2010" at checkout. I bought 'ExtJS in Action' from them, and can highly recommend it. Bought also two or three more, not as splendid, but pretty good too. I am in no way affiliated with Manning Publications, this is not a paid or unpaid advertisement. I post it here, because I think it's good to know about such discounts.
