You can use interfaces to create const and nonconst versions of an interface?
I am currently reading Effective C# and found the following line very confusing: Last, but certainly not least, you can use interfaces to create const and nonconst versions of an interface: What are and nonconst versions of an interface?

Trying to find the name of a really old UI design book by Apple
This morning, I was reading a news article on Apple (either Snow Leopard or FCC), and I came across a part that referred to an old book by Apple (IIRC), that had two parts, and the first part was just on UI design. I was trying to get a copy of that book, but it seems I lost the link to the article. Does this book ring a bell with anyone...
Need help finding a classical computer book
I need help finding a classical computer book. This was a very good read I remember, but when I found it online I didn't have time to read it and I must have lost the bookmark I made for it.

Is there such thing as a technical manual that is not inherently staggeringly dull to read?
This question is not about "Code Complete", "Mythical Man Month", the writings of Joel Spolsky or any other technical writing that is theoretical or discussion-oriented. It's about the hardcore technical manual that describes the nuts and bolts of a particular technical language or technology in all of its gory, clinical detail. I'm ta...

Your opinions about Ryan Hebmree's "The Complete Graphic Designer"
I'm searching a good book about design but I'm not a designer. I've found "The Complete Graphic Designer" and it seemed to me that it was good enough.

How obsolete is "Creating Applications with Mozilla"? (the book)
I have the book "Creating Applications with Mozilla", though I haven't read it yet. According to the book's web site at http://books.mozdev.org/, It is "very out of date." How out of date is it? Is it a decent reference, but doesn't cover new APIs, or is the stuff it covers things you shouldn't be using anymore? Is it decent as a XUL/XB...
Recommended books for Direct3D programming
What good books are there for learning 3D graphics programming (DirectX 9) ? I'm also interested in a book about pixel/vertex shaders. I've done some 3D graphics about two years ago using WPF, but I don't think this would help much. I'm pretty good at C++ and optimization (assembler, SSE, metaprogramming), so I don't think this would be ...
