An advice on iOS programming books

When you buy a book about iOS programming, read it immediately!
That is because if you delay reading it, a new version of iOS may come up and then you will have an old (!) book.
If you cannot read it immediately, do not buy it until you have enough time to read it.

A new version of iOS Programming book is coming

More about it here.

Update (from the book's preface):

"We’ve definitely made the book better. If you’ve already been through the first edition and feel very comfortable with all the material, go ahead and move on to More iPhone 3 Development, which takes up where this book leaves off, discussing the amazing new technologies introduced with SDK 3."

The design of the UNIX operating system

If you want to learn the nuts and bolts of the UNIX operating system, then you should, without doubt, read this book. It is an advanced book but it is highly recommended.

Now that summer is coming, I think (and hope) that most of us will go out for vacations and photography :)

If I can only recommend one single book for Travel Photography, then I would recommend "Travel Photography: Tread Your Own Path" by Steve Davey.

You can also find more info about the book at Scott Kelby's blog.

Perl Cookbook

I know Perl (or perl) and I really like Perl.

I wrote network, graphics, serial port, SNMP, and database applications, small XML parsers, etc. using perl and I think that the best book on perl is "Perl Cookbook".

Code Complete 2nd Ed.

I think that it would be useful to start a series of blog entries about must-read programming books.

The first book that I want to present is "Code Complete" (2nd Edition – the 1st edition is as good!) by Steve McConell. Its publisher is Microsoft Press!
