How Computer Programming Works (Technology in Action Series)
$29.95
"How Computer Programming Works" offers a useful compilation of major Computer Science topics. The artwork, spread liberally though this book, is generally quite useful and offers some unique insights into certain topics, but is at times overdone.

Daniel Appleman has done a good job of condensing many of the major topical areas and themes in the field of Computer Science in fewer than 250 pages.

For anyone with more than a peripheral knowledge of Computer Science and computing in general, but with a lack of formal Computer Science education or training, this is a book worth reading. It can serve as a launching point for more in-depth and detailed coverage of the topics addressed in the book.

I recommend this book...especially to the reader segment mentioned above.

The Art of UNIX Programming
$49.99
Eric S. Raymond is a controversial open source developer and evangelist.

The true is that he has a good points and ideias of how to develop using the unix pratices (eg. the practice of separation and program specialization).

I love unix (any flavor), it is by far the best operating system for a wise developers. The advice of Eric really makes sense for someone used to work with unix, and I put a lot of his advice to good use.

I recommend this book to an intermediate/advance unix programmer/analyst.

Component Software: Beyond Object-Oriented Programming (2nd Edition)
$69.99
Very well written and informative. I 've read a few book that tend to be either very verbose or written for novices. This one hits the spot.
The best part is that reading this book makes you think.
