Book Nerd
It's been a while since I threw up a technical post--okay so any post but that's beside the point. I recently purchased a slew of books with acronyms for names with the intention of furthering my career. Here's the list:
I'm specifically excited about the Rails book--I have heard quite a bit of buzz around it for a while now and it doesn't look like it's going away anytime soon. There's a couple of other books that are on my list to pick up, but I think these four should be enough for now. I'm starting with the WPF book, then likely moving to Silverlight 4 since it's basically just a subset of WPF. After that I'll likely hit the Unit Testing book and finally the dirty pleasure of the Rails book. I've never been much of a reader when it comes to technical books, but I'm finding that there's so much that I still don't know about some of the technologies that I work with. Given enough time I'm decent at hacking my way to proficiency in a framework, but because of the scarcity of time as a resource in my life lately I think I need a little help.
