<b>Mastering Regular Expressions</b>

Jeffrey E.F. Friedl

Nutshell Handbook Series

O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. 1997

ISBN 1-56592-257-3

The bible on regex. What is a regex, and why do I care? Well, read the book.

'''The Mythical Man-Month, Essays on Software Engineering'''

20th Anniversary Edition with four new chapters

Frederick P. Brooks, Jr

Addison Wesley 1995

ISBN 0-201-83595-9

A classic on project management. You have to read this book. More than 20 years after it was

first written, it still provides valuable insights about how to make projects happen on time and

on budget.

'''Dynamic HTML - The Definitive Reference'''

Second Edition

Danny Goodman

O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. 2002

ISBN 0-596-00316-1

A comprehensive resource for HTML, CSS, DOM and JavaScript. Improvement on the first edition, a

must-have reference source as well as a good book to learn from. At 1400 pages, you will not be

reading this one cover to cover.

'''Applying UML and Patterns'''

An Introduction to Object-Oriented Analysis and Design and the Unified Process, Second Edition

Craig Larman

Prentice Hall 2002

ISBN 0-13-092569-1

So far, many interesting points though somewhat pedantic.

'''High Performance MySQL'''

Optimization, Backups, Replication and Load Balancing

Jeremy D. Zawodny & Derek Balling

O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. 2004

ISBN 0-596-00306-4

Just purchased, haven't read, but looking forward to hearing what Jeremy has to say about what he has done to

really make the MySQL database a part of Yahoo

'''Advanced PHP Programming'''

A practical guide to developing large-scale Web sites and applications with PHP 5

George Schlossnagle

Sams Publishing 2004

ISBN 0-672-32561-6

Also just purchased. George is a contributor to PHP, PEAR and PECL, and so is obviously an expert on this

domain. The reviews that I've seen confirm that this book is an excellent one for the advanced PHP programmer.

'''The Official Samba 3 HOWTO and Reference Guide'''

John H. Terpstra and Jelmer R. Vernooij, Editors

Prentice Hall (Bruce Perens' Open Source Series) 2004

ISBN 0-13-145355-6

I picked up this book at the Desktop Linux Consortium innaugural conference, where I not only got to meet/hear

Bruce Perens and John Terpstra, they also signed my book! Woohoo!

'''Linux Server Hacks'''

100 Industrail-Strength Tips and Tools

Rob Flickenger

O'Reilly 2003

ISBN 0-596-00461-3

A short book, chock full of some of the essentials of System Administration. I highly recommend this book.
