Belated Spring Cleaning
I was reorganizing and cleaning my technical bookshelf earlier today. I have a whole bunch of books that I don’t use and are just taking space. I want to donate some of these books to my local library, maybe up and coming techies will get some use out of them. Some of these books are a little dated but others are just not useful in day to day software development. Now that I am into Ruby, Python, and Groovy I just don’t have much room in my bookshelf for Perl books. I have a whole pile of Perl books that I am going to toss out, books like Perl Cookbook, Programming Perl, and Advanced Perl Programming. The only Perl book that I am thinking of keeping is Learning Perl. I also don’t have space for antiquated web frameworks so out goes Programming Jakarta Struts, Professional Struts Applications, Enterprise JavaBeans Component Architecture, and Enterprise JavaBeans.
I think these books will be replaced with up coming Groovy titles and maybe the second edition of Agile Web Development with Rails.
