Title: VBScript in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition Publisher: O'Reilly Authors: Paul Lomax, Ron Petrusha Rating: 2/5 If you are looking for a good language reference on VBScript, then this is it. I use this book to help me when writing ASP applications, and it is a life saver. Any programmer or systems admin (like me) should get this book. Would be nice if it had a few examples of how to use some of the objects. Other than that, it is a great book.

Title: Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional Authors: Martin Fowler, Kent Beck, John Brant, William Opdyke, Don Roberts Rating: 5/5 I won't go too much into it because it would overlap the other reviews. This is really a good book, just like "Design Patterns". If you have that one then you need to get this one. If you don't then you need to get both. All examples in this book is in Java but it easily applies to all other languages. You may already be doing some 'refactoring' without knowing it but this book solidifies the concepts.

Title: Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs - 2nd Edition (MIT Electrical Engineering and Computer Science) Publisher: The MIT Press Authors: Harold Abelson, Gerald Jay Sussman Rating: 5/5 The negative reviews that are showing up really distress me--these seem to be missing the point of the book entirely. This book is not about Scheme, nor LISP, nor anything particular to the language and environment. It teaches you the fundamentals of programming, both in your code, and what happens to your code during and after compilation. The concepts that you learn from this can be applied to any language out there. This book covers pretty much everything a beginning programmer needs to know, and in a clear manner. While the material does move rapidly, and becomes dry in parts, that is unfortunately the nature of the beast--exactly how exciting can you make learning efficient compilation techniques? :-)
