Programming Books Suck and are Expensive
As I was perusing the selection of tech books at the Local B&N, I finally realized very few programming books give you very usable info or methods for the money. I had noticed this trend for years, but the reality of the matter finally hit me. It seems that many programming books have shifted focus from 'how to' accomplish something to 'these are the trendy standards'.
When is the last time you've bought a programming book that was worth the money you paid for it? What was that book. What are your recommendations?
Don't include ones you've reviewed for free....
