- A Programmer's Introduction to
C#, by Eric Gunnerson
The first good book about C#, the backbone language of Microsoft's .Net
platform. If you're a Java programmer, picking up C# is quick, since
they both share a common root in C++. Eric is on the team that produced
C#, and as such has a good grasp of not only what the language is, but how it
should be used.
- Cryptonomicon,
by Neal Stephenson
Yes, the ending needs some work, but all in all, this was great. I
found myself laughing out loud on the plane while reading this. The
humor is mostly in the use of language, not slapstick. Don't wait for
paperback.
- Java Cryptography,
by Jonathan Knudsen
I couldn't have finished my last project without this. JCE
and specific service providers have hundreds of classes.
This book provided the breadcrumbs.
- Newton's
Cannon, by J. Gregory Keyes
What if alchemy had a scientific basis? Newton, Ben Franklin, Voltaire,
and others of the "age of unreason" discover slightly different
scientific principles, giving rise to a book that melds fantasy and
science. Alternate (obviously) history that has me running to the
encyclopedia to see what "really" happened. I just started the
next one: A
Calculus of Angels.
