Should you always read a book when picking up a new technology?
As a developer that is often confronted with learning new technologies in relatively short amounts of time (6 months, 1 year, 2 years) should you always start with reading a book about that technology (possibly giving up on some of your spare time) or simply dig in and start writing code picking it up as you go, and only after some time,...
Examples of Patterns that have real world examples

Getting hard-copy of programming books?
Hi all, I have quite a few programming e-books, and while they're useful, I don't find myself using them very much. I think this is because they are in digital format and take up my screen, and overall I would prefer a physical book. Are there any services out there that will print a pdf file for me in a nice book-ish fashion? I suppos...

Concise Haskell book
In a blog post regarding his JavaScript book, Doug Crockford says I relied on two models when I wrote JavaScript: The Good Parts. The first was Kernighan and Richie's The C Programming Language.
