Do you think video blogs/screen-casts/podcasts are the best instruments to learn new stuffs in the programming than a book. Nowadays almost everyone has a hand held device like iPod or Zune to hear/watch conveniently. ...
I'm a big fan of Bill Wagner's Effective C#. (I believe he's got a sequel out, too) What I love about this book are: It's short. It's not for beginners, so it doesn't waste time covering the basics (again). It has good, pithy advice for programmers who want to raise their game in C#. It's practical, not philosphical. Can ...
I have written an introductory Python tutorial and I'm working on one for wxPython. My Python tutorial was used at a college for a programming introduction class. I know the answer is probably "if you want to", but I'm curious to know if I should take the time to formalize my tutorials into a book format, most likely as an ebook. I don'...

As a follow-up to my previous question, what sort of information should I make sure to include in a tutorial book and what should I avoid? In other words, what would you have liked to have known when first starting with Python or wxPython? Right now I am just planning on restructing the tutorials I have already created and other editing...
I know, that questions regarding books have been asked before. What I'm after is what books are "must haves" on your bookshelf? You know, those books that, if you don't have a copy, it makes you feel uncomfortable. They keep vanishing because people keep, er, "borrowing" them. I read Ed Yourdon's The Decline and Fall of The American Pr...

I'm looking for a good book that describes how small to medium sized development teams utilize version control, and best practices in terms of development and build processes. If the book relates specifically to .NET, that's a plus, but it can be language agnostic. Any recommendations? ...
There have been several questions here on SO about resources for learning Python (which have been most helpful,) but I was wondering if there was some consensus in the Python community about what the definitive reference book was once you knew the language? I'm hoping for something along the same lines as K&R's "The C Programming Langua...
I'm in college. Basically I have already learnt the syntax of java from books and have been programming in java for two years (Not every other day of course, because it's a computer science and not software engineering course). However, I find myself lacking sufficient knowledge of java and feel inadequate. For example, none of the book...

I've been developing with PHP for a couple of years now, and have a strong grounding in it. But I'd like to learn more about programming languages in general, and want to be introduced to more low-level stuff. I've decided to learn C, and wanted to get your book recommendations. PHP has been pretty simple for me so far (including the OO...

Like a lot of people on Stack Overflow I love to read books about programming, almost as much as I love to read the lists that people add onto their websites, Blog's and this very website. However, for every gem there are a thousand turds, and to one developer a gem could just be a shiny turd to another. Whilst there are hundreds of b...
I just realized that the ability to express ideas in writing is an important skill as a programmer. With a good writing ability, we can write blogs, technical paper, comments, or documentation better. I have poor writing skill, limiting me in expressing my ideas clearly. Is there any book which can help improve my writing skill? Edit: ...
