Java Testing Patterns

4 reviews
Jon Thomas, Matthew Young, ...

Wiley, 2004

Great practical patterns book
I've only read a couple patterns books, including the classic GoF. The only thing I don't like about the GoF book is that the explanations are very academic and the examples are far from useful in my work. What I like about this Java testing patterns book is that it is extremely practical and therefor useful. For me it bridged the gap from a highly theoretical treatment of patterns to a ...

Groovy in Action

18 reviews
Dierk Koenig, Andrew Glover, ...

Manning Publications, 2007

Great Primer (if a bit dated) on a Great Language
While getting a little long in the tooth (GINA was released pre-Groovy 1.0, Groovy is now above 1.5), the material presented in the book is still very relevant and helpful. The biggest issue is that some of the newer (and cooler!) features, such as ExpandoMetaClass, of the language are not covered. That being said, this is still a great introduction to the a language that will likely become an ...

Great Project Book for Kids
My eight year old son has become very interested in mechanical and electrical projects. We picked this book up at the library, but quickly saw that this is a "keeper." It has many projects that will help him learn how things work as he builds a working model cable car / gondola (his first major project from this book), boat locks, several types of bridges, and other fascinating projects.

What a great book! It should be back in print!
