[Cialug] Fwd: Your Deal Today: Save 40-50% - Over 35 Programming Titles

Mon Dec 19 09:14:52 CST 2011

Looking for some books over the holidays? Here are some deals from
O'Reilly. This sale goes on through Jan 19th. The 40% off print book isn't
such a spectacular deal, for example the sale price of Learning Python is
only $0.48 cheaper than Amazon's regular price, and many of these titles
can be picked up used for considerably less.

However the 50% off the e-book price is pretty competitive (even comparing
to the e-book versions on Amazon) and their formats are DRM free, making
them very easy to use on a variety of devices.

Sorry, I can't give too many personal recommendations from this list, I've
only read "Learning Python" by Lutz and it's been quite some time ago. Do
note that there are two "rhino" books. The more famous one is "Javascript:
The definitive guide" by Flanagan, an excellent book that I can heartily
recommend reading cover to cover. However it is not the one on sale here.

* In case you're interested, my favorite JS books are now:

1. The JavascriptBible by Danny Goodman, though I'm not sure how relevant
it is today, I've committed the 3rd edition to memory (including in depth
analysis of Netscape 4 vs IE 4), the current edition is the 7th
2. (New) jQuery in Action by Bibeault, yes focuses on jQuery but has an
excellent appendix for JS that covers well some of the less understood JS
concepts like closures
3. Javascript: The definitive guide by Flanagan, which I think I've
actually bought 2.5 times because the latest edition you can buy some of
the individual chapters relating to specific topics such as canvas and
jQuery.

Have you read a book that others should know about? You can post your
recommendations to the list, including a link to your blog if you gave an
indepth review there. I know we have a lot of book lovers in this group and
your recommendations would go a long way.

Shopping for the Geek in Your Life

The hardest person on your list to shop for is Andrew. Why? Because he just
won't tell you what he needs or wants. It's not because he doesn't want
anything; it's just that telling you isn't logical. If he needs it or wants
it, he'll get it himself, right? In the meantime, you're left with trying
to figure out the perfect gift for someone who spends 18 hours at a stretch
in front of his computer (including meal times) and answers most of your
questions with, "Um, okay" while looking like he wonders what planet you're
from.

So here's the secret to making Andrew happy with your holiday gift. Get him
the perfect programming book from O'Reilly. Just look (or ask him) what
color his favorite O'Reilly books are, and select one you don't see on his
shelf. He uses ebooks, you say? That's easy too: ask, "What do you think
about JavaScript Web Applications?" Keep at it until you find one he
doesn't know. Sure, it's a little work but it'll pay off. This year you
won't have to see his unenthusiastic smile as he opens yet-another-geek
t-shirt that in a moment of madness you thought he'd find amusing.
