#12Would be a great list to compare opinions on with various people at http://www.5ftshelf.com/, sadly the computer & internet section (http://www.5ftshelf.com/mini_shelves/books/6-computers-and-i...) is dominated by the head-first series. While I think they're good intros, they wouldn't rank high on my list on "must own" books in that genre.

Have you used hotmail any time recently?
I had a hotmail from way back and was going to swap (only held back by the lock in of my current email address being everywhere), but honestly now I don't see much reason to. Hotmail web interface is close enough to the gmail one now and windows live mail integrates nicely if your running and windows machine.

Which defeated the point of buying a book so that they could do projects and learn while I was not around. For mo…

#17Is HN really the new place for book spamming aa links? Which books don't matter. Half those are outdated or will be by the time they're read.
You know you should really take a look at who posted the article and who wrote the article, jacquesm and Daniel are some of our most respected and informational members that we have. Both have contributed volumes of information to this site without asking for anything in return. If there is anyone one this site that could be accused of having the passion for the subject matter of this site it would be Daniel.
As is said in the blog, this post comes up quite frequently so Daniel put it on his blog. Forgive a guy for trying to cover some cost, would you.

#19Some very good suggestions! I like that Liar's Poker was included in the startup section, thought I was the only one to have read that. Rock on.

Yes, I have seen my friend using hotmail recently (on Windows). It is pretty good.
