I think this would be a useful thread to located in general development rather than chit chat because it could useful to people.

On the note of the title of the thread does that include programing, database, design, etc books?

yes it includes

[Nightwalker83]

Ah ok! On that note I like to include:
Programming in Visual C# 2008 by Julia Case Bradley and Anita C. Millspaugh

Programming in Visual Basic 2008 by Julia Case Bradley and Anita C. Millspaugh (not sure if they have written 2010 versions of those books).

In Search of Stupidity 2nd edition

[si_the_geek]

Thread moved to 'General Developer' forum. (thanks for letting us know Nightwalker83 )

[Nightwalker83]

Since this thread is about good technical/coding books I might as well ask if anyone know of a good text book for Advance Visual C#?

[abhijit]

I have found this book to be really good.

I will have to see if it is available near me and whether or not I have the cash.

I would very highly recommend The Mythical Man-Month. It was originally written in 1975 but it's content remains current.

this book doesn't actually teach any skills. to my opinion its just explains the obvious about how to finish a project faster.

but your heart is in the right place

What does everyone think about the "... For Dummies" series, az it pertains to VB?

[Nightwalker83]

What does everyone think about the "... For Dummies" series, az it pertains to VB?

How well does it explain things, does it use images to explain things those are the type of thing I would want in a book.

[ntg]

this book doesn't actually teach any skills.

Of course it does. It teaches project management and expectation management skills, both of which are essential in IT.

[moti barski]

i HATE For Dummies and books like it, those books use a technique called smiring, each has about 5 pages of technological knowledge and then they edit it to have about 400 pages, HOW ?

as i said they smir they add non technological unrelated stuff, repeatition, mirror sentences, build up,
previews short overall explanations, longer explanations, explanations of the most obvious mondain things, metaphors, repetition of parts of examples.

the buyer pays for the number of pages, the smiring technique makes the book more expensive
the readers rage increases in each page just trying to get to those three lines of code

[stlaural]

Talking about books for dummies, how about this

[techgnome]

If that's your opinion of those books, then stop buying them. Clearly you're not the target audience. Those kinds of books are designed for the uber noob... the person who doesn't know anything but wants to get started. Sure they're full of fluff... you have to expect that. It's done on purpose. And it's not done to pad the paging... for that they use leading (space between the lines) and thick margins. If you flip through a book and see a lot of whitespace in the margins... it's being fluffed. It's not always the author though... often it's the publisher.

Any ways... I'm not a fan of "best of ..." threads like this. What works for one person, isn't going to work for someone else. I tend to work best with reference style books rather than tutorial style books. But that's just me.

Hey I learned to do electrical jobs around the house from reading a DUMMIES book.
So you can't entirely diss them like that.

name that book

[abhijit]

If I remember correctly, it was titled Wiring for the Digital Home.

Then again it might have been titled "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Electrical Repair".
