Social Media
| TYPE | TITLE | URL | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|---|
| Book | AI Application Programming (2003) | One of the best AI development approaches I've seen; provides soup-to-nuts design, implementation, testing and refinement guides to AI tools. | |
| Book | Compilers: Principles, Techniques & Tools (2007) | Arguably the best compiler-design text available. Even where compiler design is not the end objective, this provides a comprehensive overview of syntax parsers and lexical analysis - an invaluable aid to anyone writing sophisticated code | |
| Book | Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship (2008) | While other books deal with the abstract issues of Agile development environments, this book provides an in-depth perspective on the details of practically implementing it in a day-to-day work situation. | |
| Book | The Art of Agile Development (2007) | For newbies unfamiliar with what Agile Development is, this provides a top-down discussion of the methods, philosophy and illustrative examples appropriate to a number of hypothetical business situations. | |
| Book | UNIX SHELLS by EXAMPLE (2002) | Still the bible of system-admins everywhere; gives the best overview and comparison of the nitty-gritty details of all major shell languages in use today. | |
| Book | TCP/IP Illustrated (2007) | A two-volume set, this is the cornerstone of any well-equipped library for someone wanting to trouble-shoot network protocols or write code for them. | |
| Book | XML Bible (2001) | The fact that this book has not required a major revision in nearly a decade is a testimony to its comprehensive coverage of XML and its use in web-content, applets, and document format. | |
| Book | Cisco Router Handbook (2000) | Now in a second edition, this is the "first-read" of anyone taking on the administration of a Cisco-based network. | |
| Book | Cisco Internetwork Troubleshooting Handbook (2005) | More than a reference, this explains the philosophy of debugging a sophisticated enterprise network and provides numerous cogent examples with explanations. | |
| Book | C++ Primer Plus (2002) | With this book, a rudimentary understanding of OOLs and an up-to-date copy of the Standard Template Library, there is literally nothing that cannot be coded well in tight, efficient C++. | |
| Book | DNS and BIND (2003) | This and the companion Cookbook will answer 99.99% of all outstanding DNS/BIND questions that plague any enterprise's Domain-Name configuration. | |
| Book | Perl Programming (2000) | This book is the "classic" bible of Perl; it covers most of the introductory elements of the language and gives enough examples to permit a beginner to write viable scripts at the first sitting. | |
| Book | Perl Cookbook (2003) | A solid companion to Perl Programming, this book moves beyond the basics into complex data-structures, dynamic code and the vast resources contained in PERL libraries. | |
| Book | Regular Expressions Cookbook (2009) | Anyone who does parsing or filtering on a regular basis should have this book on their shelf of "must-have" references. Not only does it cover basic RegEx issues, but it delves into the deeper mysteries of scope and inheritance. | |
