Hi, I am fourth-year studying for my undergraduate in Computer Science, and I wanted to start learning about embedded systems and programming. I have been looking at various university courses (UCSD, MIT, etc.), but there is a lot of focus on hardware. I don't mind learning the hardware, but throughout my studies, my degree has almost...
Hey guys, I've searched and searched and can't find anything on books for developing email marketing software.

After about 4 years of winforms development with VB.Net and C#, I moved onto web development using standard ASP.NET webforms (which I've been doing for the last year and a half). What I'm realising now though is how little I actually know about how the web works. This is partly laziness on my part but partly due to the level of abstract...
I've been using the Open Library Books API, but it lacks many of the books I have. Which API has the best coverage (especially for non-English books)? Edit: I'm particularly interested in APIs that can be accessed from the server side and that provide metadata (author, title, publisher, year, etc). My coverage benchmark is this arbitra...

I am getting ready to buy my next book to read. What should I get? I am still pretty much a Junior Developer in terms of writing maintainable code, design patterns, and just overall good code. Sure, I can churn out a ton of code that works, but it probably isn't the best code. I want something that will help me write better code. ...
