I'm an old retired dinosaur, but back in my day, and still in my day, as I learn some of the newer technologies, us computer geeks are nothing without our reference books. And just when you've mastered one technology, another technology comes along, requiring us too learn all over again. A class? Hah! If you're lucky. Otherwise, the hunt is on, for a good reference book. Much like you came to these code table pages. The boss requires you to do the job - even in the absence of adequate reference. Just the way it is, huh?

The best of the best, if you have to bet on a book ... Well, I'd bet on a nutshell book. Hence ...
Shop for Computer Geek Books are all Nutshell books.
I am sure I have half a dozen of these Nutshell books, around here, somewhere.

It really is awesome the geographic diversity that comes to these pages needing to do code translation. I've had emails from Singapore, Italy, Jordon, China, Argentina, and of course - my home country, the USA. The following are the categories of books visitors to this site are buying from:

Shop for Books on Algorithms

Shop for Books on Cisco Routers

Shop for Books on TCP/IP

Shop for Mike Meyers Network Books

Shop for Books on Network Troubleshooting

I threw in this last category of books "for Dummies", because sometimes all you need to know, is covered in these Dummies books. I was just called upon to do some mySQL. Okay fine, but I already know (or have had experience with) at least 5 other databases ... what 'cha want me to do? "GET" the data. "FIND" the data. I just needed the syntax for mySQL, not a entire course in database. My PHP & mySQL for dummies book served me fine.

Recommended favorites, are always better then a shot in the dark, huh?
