Chris Donnan : Programming - Brooklyn Style

software, trading, family, fun

More reading - via Safari

Well - I am doing the Safari Subscription thing….. I am an info addict. Audible subscription, Safari subscription, magazines, more books …. AAAHHH. Love it.  Safari is pretty cool so far. Since I tend to read so much - this should make the bill a bit lower in general. I usually get my books from the Amazon.com marketplace for used books. This is a great cheaper mechanism than buying the books ‘brand new’. I still DO buy them brand new if the price is close etc, but - this on line bit with Safari works well for me.
Parallel and Distributed Programming Using C++

Great - unix-centric book on multi-threading, interprocess communication/ synchronization, etc. Also good coverage of MPI and distributed computing stuff. Like it lots - good book.

Prefactoring

I am not sold on this book yet. I will let you know when I have been through it. It is not that it is ‘wrong’ or ‘bad’ but I do not see anything novel yet.

Windows System Programming Third Edition

I just want to dig deeper and deeper into my (what I would humbly consider to be vast) knowledge of windows internals.  So far so good.
Mastering Algorithms with C

I have done my best to advise MANY of my friends, collegues, peers etc in the programming world about ‘how to get a better job’. Inevitably - knowing about datastructures, Big-O style notation, algorithms, etc comes up. I have given weaker references to ‘a good book on those topics’ in the past. Now - I will refer people to this book :) This is really a great book with pretty pics to help understand those topics. Even if you already understand those topics - it is still a well written book that talks about issues with different implementations of things like hashtables, trees, etc. Highly recommended!
