Re: [ljc] Book reading club

Well, if anyone's interested in taking a close look at my new edition of "Java in a Nutshell" - I am starting to collate ideas & things I want to revise when I start working on the 7th Edition later in the year.

There was a lot of work required to start to bring a ~10 year old text up to date, so certain compromises had to be made in order to fit the production schedule. My aim with the 7th Ed is to get a lot closer to the book that's right for modern audiences, and feedback from individuals, or a book group, would be a very welcome piece of assistance.

Thanks,

Ben

We have in LJC folks who published. I would start with their books.

The added benefit is that you hear from the author directly.

Hey,

We're going to be kicking off a book reading club thing on the vJUG soon (read a couple of chapters a week & meetup on a hangout with an expert to chat, ask questions etc and discuss) and I was wondering which books to start with. I thought I'd ask the LJC which technical books (and perhaps non technical but would like to start with the techie stuff) you have read and really found valuable to your day to day work.

So, if you could take 3 tech books on a desert island, which would they be? :)
