I am not really a fan of Cookbook style books. However, by looking at the table of contents of the Java Cookbook, it’s clear that the chapters on this book run parallel to chapters in more classical technical books, e.g. the excellent Core Java books by Horstman and Cornell. While the more classical books try hard to provide a logical structure within the chapter with the needed context (a story) to master the content, cookbooks give you independent ready-to-use recipes (yeah for metaphors!). So it’s really about getting a proven solution fast than (deep) understanding. But you should get that from the title, so no surprises there. Full Review >

Concerning learning, I don't consider myself a “visual†guy. I am pretty happy with a good book. Although I often read O'Reilly books, this is the first “full feature†video (7 hours) from the publisher watched. While I am very interested in the topic of I.T. Architecture, the idea was to give this “new†format a chance.
The chapters titles are well chosen and give a correct overview of the subjects that make up the course... Full Review >

Engineering at Cloud Scale

When cloud technologies go beyond the hype, they can be very interesting. I have spent some time looking and evaluating different stacks and cloud providers. Amazon's AWS is certainly the 800 pound gorilla of Cloud offerings. I had high expectations for a book with a title like
“Resilience and Reliability on AWSâ€. If you have an UNIX administration and architecture background “Resilience and Reliability' is specially what your looking for (and evaluating) in cloud offerings.
Let's start by the good part. Full Review >

Although I was curious about this book, I had mixed expectations. I have no background in web development (beyond playing a little with Catalyst and Drupal) so getting my toes wet with popular web-related technologies can’t hurt. At the same time, I must confess I had serious doubts when I… Full Review >

If you already program in Perl you know that “Programming Perl” is the de facto reference of the language. I haven’t met Perl Mongers citing randomly from it, but we are not that far from it . If you’re new to Perl, well now you know what you will be… Full Review >
