Regular Expression Pocket Reference: Regular Expressions for Perl, Ruby, PHP, Python, C, Java and .NET ...

Tony Stubblebine

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2007

Great reference to an arcane subject
I'm scared of regular expressions. They vex me constantly at work whether trying to figure out someone else's Apache RewriteRules or Perl or just trying myself to do mildly clever things in vi and sed. They are a headache. A coworker let me browse his copy of this ...

Windows PowerShell in Action

Bruce Payette

Manning Publications, 2007

The Powershell Bible
This is the only Powershell book you will ever need - until 2.0 comes out anyhow. Even then, this book builds the groundwork for using Powershell to automate all types of tasks and will be usable far into the future. I've used it to write a couple of Powershell ...

Classic Shell Scripting

Arnold Robbins, Nelson H.F. Beebe

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2005

Practical and useful
Great book. The emphasis is nicely split between actually using the shell itself and the whole supporting cast of unix tools (sed, awk, cut, join, sort etc.) The idea of carefully crafting solutions using the unix toolbox mindset is key. I also like the fact he doesn't ...

Does what it says at a price you can't argue with.
This is definitely a great companion for any Linux administrator or hobbyist who is trying to become a level 60 command line warrior. There are plenty of commands to familiarize yourself with, and they are grouped logically (rather than alphabetically), which means ...

The Art of Woo: Using Strategic Persuasion to Sell Your Ideas

G. Richard Shell, Mario Moussa

Portfolio, 2007

Quite an entertaining read ... all the probing questions for wooers are certainly worth the price of the book!
Actually, I was attracted to this new book by it's secondary title, 'Using Strategic Persuasion to Sell Your Ideas'. I have always been fascinated by the subject of selling ideas to others. According to the two authors, "woo" is defined as the ability to "win ...

Linux in a Nutshell (In a Nutshell (O'Reilly))

Ellen Siever, Aaron Weber, ...

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2005

Still a very helpful, very valuable reference
Getting a bit long in tooth, but Linux hasn't changed that much since this was published in 2005. Much of it is a reprint of what you'll find in the MAN pages, with better tyography and formatting. Not particularly helpful for the rank beginner, unless used as a ...

Florida's Living Beaches: A Guide for the Curious Beachcomber

Witherington; Dawn and Blair

Pineapple Press (FL), 2007

Amazing book!
Living near the ocean I wanted to learn more about what all I see on the beach. I was in search of a book that would help me learn more and included pictures to help identify (pictures as opposed to drawing illustrations). I came across this book and liked the other ...

The Shell Seekers

Rosamunde Pilcher

Gramercy, 2004

emotionally satisfying
I first read this book a couple of decades ago when my mother introduced me to Rosamund Pilcher. I've read it several times since then and last night watched the wonderful film version on television. I'm curious if anyone knows if the book of poetry Richard gives ...

Learning the bash Shell (In a Nutshell (O'Reilly))

Cameron Newham

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2005

Outstanding in every way
I first bought this book over 12 years ago, and I still use it as the standard by which other books are measured. It must be one of my top 5 favorite computer books, ever. The author clearly understands the material, and makes it approachable, direct, and easy to ...

Camp Camp: Where Fantasy Island Meets Lord of the Flies

Roger Bennett, Jules Shell

Crown, 2008

Best job I've ever had.
I've had the life lesson of being a camp counselor the year we landed on the moon. I was 18 and frankly didn't know what I was doing there. Soon it became a whole different world. The boys stayed with us for at least a week at a time in an isolated canyon north of Los ...
