I'm trying to decide on a good set of 4 books that would be considered the "best" books to read for people wanting to learn about how best to display and visualize data.

I stumbled upon a copy of 'CodeNotes for XML' and I just love it. It's a smallish book (like a pocket guide feel) with only a few hundred pages that explains XML just beautifully and offers a great layout for a handy reference book.

I found "Natural Language Processing with Python" today, and am wondering what other good, non-academic (the research papers tend to be too dry and/or specific to certain areas) NLP resources the SO community knows about.

I started to learn how to program when I was 8 years old with BASIC. After like 5 years of GW-BASIC, I started to program in C and inline assembly language with my IBM XT PC.

Ok so there are lots of nifty little technologies included in Java EE. When one learns SE, where should they go from there?

Where should I go from here? ...
