Just got a book in the mail from Amazon: Embedded Programming with the Microsoft .NET Micro Framework . It was only about $6 from the "Used and New" section of alternate sellers. An upcoming project at work is currently planned for Compact...
So Charlize and I were out Christmas shopping for Kelly a couple months ago. We went to Barnes and Noble to see if there were any good books for Mommy. We entered the store on the second floor through the kids section, so I grabbed a book...
Work has been killing me lately (the last several months), but things are starting to calm down and I think I only worked about 45-50 hours last week. I spent yesterday with the family at the zoo. Charlie has been to the zoo more times in her 12 months...
If you think back, you may remember that I blogged about a being a technical reviewer for an upcoming O'Reilly book. Well the book has just been published, and I got a copy in the mail today. In the O'Reilly tradition, it has an animal on the front cover...
It's not really a New Year's resolution, but I've decided to try to read more. Here is a list of books that Auren Hoffman -- a friend, and former boss -- has read in 2005. He has highlighted his highest recommendations in orange. Unfortunately for me...
I bought Head First Design Patterns ( "Part I" here ) today. There are lots of exercises in the book, and they apparently (according to the Introduction) are a very important part of the learning process. My dilemma, though, is that I don't know if I...

Well, it looks like I am officially a tech reviewer now. About a month ago, I mentioned that I had met a Sr. Editor from O'Reilly while in Orlando. Well, last week he e-mailed me to ask if I was interested in reviewing a new VB book that they're putting...
Tech·Ed is pretty cool. Something unexpected happened tonight at dinner. Gerry and I were at some restaurant at the hotel (we are both staying at the Westgate Lakes Resort). We walked in and were second in line to put our name on the list. Then a man...
So I finally bought a Design Patterns book, Refactoring to Patterns , by Joshua Kerievsky. I haven't cracked it open yet, but it was recommended by a few people, including The Agile Developer and Gerry . This will be my first official foray into Design...
As I mentioned yesterday , I've been reading a new book . These comments aren't specifically about this book, although they are prompted by it. Anyway, here is my short list of things for publishers to consider before sending a new book to the public...
As Gerry mentioned , the local B&N is moving and was having a pretty good sale on certain books. So, Sunday night, Kelly and I went over there and spent about $80 on discounted books. I found this one and it was only about $3 (if I remember correctly...
