Title: Inside Com (Microsoft Programming Series) Publisher: Microsoft Press Authors: Dale Rogerson Rating: 4/5  Inside COM is one of the best books on programming I have ever read. Even for those people who will not use COM in the near future it is still a good book. The important thing is you know what a software will look like in the future. I recommend this book to everyone.

Title: C# and the .NET Platform, Second Edition Publisher: Apress Authors: Andrew Troelsen Rating: 5/5  I purchased several other C# books from SAMS, Wrox, O'Reilly and Apress, and this is by far the best book I have bought. I just picked it up at TechEd where it was released, and have yet to put the book down. Andrew and Apress have done an outstanding job with this book. If your looking for a C#/.NET book, you only need one, C# and the .NET Platform by Andrew Troelsen and Apress. This looks to be the first in a a series by Intertech-Inc, and looking forward to other books by Andrew and his team.

Title: Code Complete Publisher: Microsoft Press Authors: Steve McConnell Rating: 5/5 As an experienced but informally educated programmer, I'm always on the look-out for basic information I may have missed over the years. I purchased "Code Complete" based on the Amazon reviews, which almost unanimously suggested this was a vital addition to any serious programmer's library. That might have been true back in 1993, when the book was published. In 2002, "Complete" reads like a repair manual for Connestoga wagons -- an historical curiosity, with little practical use for the modern professional. (At least half the code examples are in Pascal; how many companies code in Pascal these days?) Most telling is the book's brief nod to Object-Oriented Programming as an up-and-coming technique for good programming practices; a slightly more modern treatment would have *focused* on OOP, to far better effect. Perhaps I'm just annoyed at wasting my money on a primer, when what I wanted was an information-dense manual. However, if you're in 4th grade and learning BASIC, "Code Complete" might actually help to improve your marks a level or two.

Title: Perl Cookbook, Second Edition Publisher: O'Reilly Authors: Tom Christiansen, Nathan Torkington Rating: 5/5 Not only is this book great, but I wish it had come out sooner. If I'd had this in hand years ago, I'd have saved myself literally years of effort, both as far as just getting things done, but also in learning general Perl skills. You can have any other Perl book on the market, but you're not getting the whole story until you get this one too. This, more than any other one Perl book, is something that can stay with you from the time you're just starting to learn Perl, to when you're an expert at it.
