Today, I read Donald's Miller's book, "Searching for God Knows What." In his usual conversational yet poignant writing, Miller talks about his journey to discover who God and Jesus is and his discover of the essence of our faith. Miller takes a hard look at what Christianity has become. Many times, it's a cut and dry ...             JavaScript: The Good Parts64 reviews O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2008 Seminal book on JavaScript It is no wonder this book gets some mixed reviews. In it lies the distilled knowledge of possibly more than a decade of improving JavaScript by someone who know it inside out. It reminds me of K&R: a very compact, seminal book that presents the philosophy of the language, or should I say the revised philosophy behind the good parts in this case, reasoning its conclusions and presenting best ...             Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software271 reviews Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, ... Addison-Wesley Professional, 1994 Every other book is a second-hand account of this one The other books on patterns I've read (Head First, Design Patterns Explained, Applying UML and Patterns) and articles around the net are just quoting this book and trying to introduce new examples with varying success. But the examples in this book are better and first-hand. The other ones are like "this guy said that this guy said that the bridge pattern is like this because other guy said they ...             Learning Python: Powerful Object-Oriented Programming153 reviews Mark Lutz O'Reilly Media, 2009 Good for learning, but should contain more exercises I was looking for a book to learn Python and this was one of the more recommended ones available at the time. The first few chapters of this book are really interesting, but the author gets rather dry about 1/3 of the way into the book. I think that the author should have maintained that interesting tone through out the book instead of just letting it drop off after the first few chapters. ...             Pro C# 2010 and the .NET 4 Platform, Fifth Edition10 reviews Andrew Troelsen Apress, 2010 Everything you need to know about .NET 4 This is an excellent book to use to learn all the features of C# 4.0. Beginners will find easy to understand descriptions of various topics and more experienced readers can use at as an excellent reference. Even advanced programmers have a lot to learn because of all the new .NET 4.0 and C# 4.0 features. The book starts out by explaining the philosophy of .NET and how it is structured. Then it ...             Streams in the Desert: 366 Daily Devotional Readings108 reviews Zondervan, 2008 One of my favorite devotionals Streams in the Desert is a classic devotional that never grows old. It moves the heart and inspires the reader to a closer walk with God. I highly recommend it. It is especially good for someone with a love of the poetic as it includes moving poetry by one of my favorite poets, Annie Johnson Flint, among many others.             The Battle for Skandia: Book Four (Ranger's Apprentice)51 reviews John Flanagan Puffin, 2009 Awesome I got caught up in the Lord of the Rings and i just got back to this. I finished in a couple days, but I still think the Temujai should have kept invading.             Programming in Objective-C 2.0, 2/e107 reviews Addison-Wesley Professional, 2010 Good book for beginners Very good introduction about objective-c if you learn programming first time, but I will say for me this is to basic, because I had a little background in C++, PHP and Java.             Effective Java46 reviews Prentice Hall, 2008 What??? You haven't read this? This means that: (1) You don't write Java code, in which case you're forgiven. (2) You're about to start reading it, in which case you're also forgiven. (3) The unforgiveable alternative.             Head First Java, 2nd Edition267 reviews Kathy Sierra, Bert Bates O'Reilly Media, 2005 Best Teaching Style Ever Invented This was my first Head First book that I had bought (around Nov '09), and I have bought 5 more since (to date, May '10). After reading this Head First Java book, I was able to teach myself java within approximately a month. I won't comment on the specific techniques and methods the Head First series implements, but I will tell you what these books do for me: .. I am a VERY visual and global ...             Learning Perl302 reviews O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2009 Great learning book This is my first book that I have read to learn Perl. It is very well written. Concise and easy to understand. I would recommend it to others looking to learn Perl as well.             The Practice of the Presence of God and The Spiritual Maxims171 reviews Cosimo Classics, 1944 Light reading with a heavy message. This book is easy reading. The words are easy to understand, and the concepts behind the words that Bro. Lawrence is trying to convey are easy to understand, from a strictly cognitive point of view. But, to give these words life by putting them into action is not so easy. Like surgery, anyone can read textbooks on the subject, but putting it to effective use takes guidance, practice and time. ...             JavaScript: The Definitive Guide295 reviews David Flanagan O'Reilly Media, 2006 A dream come true! Explains JavaScript with almost perfect clarity. Great for someone who is painfully confused by JavaScript.             Tapworthy: Designing Great iPhone Apps2 reviews Josh Clark O'Reilly Media, 2010 If you're a startup, get this book. Now. Here's why: it's not only a great guide to what makes iPhone apps successful, but what will increasingly be the way to make successful software for any platform. Josh does a fantastic job of getting the reader into the right mindset for creating successful apps. This is an interface, big-idea, that's why that design works book, not a coding book. Nor is it a "how to market your iPhone app ...             Sharp Objects: A Novel182 reviews Shaye Areheart Books, 2006 You *can* go home again... Tom Wolfe asserted that "you can't go home again" and it is true that you won't be able to recapture your youth, or many friendships and relationships that only exist back in your memories, but Gillian Flynn teaches us that you can go home again, but that's not always a good thing. This is an excellent character study of a young girl who finds how easily the bad things in your youth can still ...             Head First Design Patterns295 reviews Elisabeth Freeman, Eric Freeman, ... O'Reilly Media, 2004 Wonderfully effective The key issue with design patterns is that software engineers have to know them in order to use them. This book addresses that issue by working hard to ensure that the patterns are absorbed by the reader in the necessary detail ... as opposed to simply documenting them. The Head First books are all good at helping one absorb material ... but there may be no other area of software engineering ...             The Ruby Programming Language33 reviews O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2008 The ruby programming language after reading the book it's the first on my recommendation list to any ruby newcommer programmer or experienced programmer who want to master the language. it's comprehensive and covers the syntactic structure of the language to the very advanced topics like Metaprogramming and Domain specific languages aka DSLs and fun to read and easy to follow its short tutorials written by yukihiro matz -the ...             Access 2007: The Missing Manual36 reviews Matthew MacDonald Pogue Press, 2006 Access 2007 The Missing Manual I got Access 2007: The Missing Manual mainly because I wanted to know how to create forms using Access. I had enough familiarity with the Access and Excel to create basic databases but I remember creating forms using the older version of Access to be quite difficult, probably made more difficult by the fact that I had inherited the forms and was trying to fix them. Access 2007: The Missing ...             Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code141 reviews, ... Addison-Wesley Professional, 1999 Essential reading A great book that uses clean code examples to illustrate powerful concepts.

Art historians everywhere would love to know what happened to the Amber Room after it disappeared during WWII. Berry paints a wonderful tale of what might have happened to it in a story that chronicles the adventures of Atlanta judge Rachel Cutler when she travels to Europe to get to the bottom of this ...              search for books apprentice, definitive, designing, devotional, effective, elements, existing, improving, javascript, language, learning, missing, object-oriented, objective, objective-c, oriented, patterns, platform, powerful, practice, presence, programming, readings, refactoring, reusable, searching, software, spiritual, streams, tapworthy books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
