I started on O'Reilly's "Masterin g Regular Expressions" last night, in an effort to get over my fear of RegEx. I've only gotten a few chapters in, but it's really been very helpful. I also started on Jakob Nielsen's "Desi ning Web Usability" and Joe Celko's "Data & Databases". The Nielsen is 'cuz it's good for me, and the Celko is because I feel like I'm missing some basic concepts of SQL 92, no doubt in part to MySQL's sketchy implementation of portions of it. We also got the camel book, "DNS and BIND," "Learning Perl," and "SQL For Smarties." Aren't I a good little geek?
