The very careful reader may have noticed a little link sneaking in last week to the bottom of the front page. It’s The Vagueware Shop run by Amazon. I just thought I’d throw together a few books I think developers reading this blog might like - I’ll be reviewing all of the featured books on the front over the coming months, because whilst some books are decades old they are classics all programmers should be familiar with.

Some however are very shiny new and are changing the way we think about web development. I’m particularly looking forward to the 2nd edition of Agile Web Development with Rails - the PDF version got updated the other day, and I will be checking it out over the weekend.

Right now, the store is a bit sparse and needs some love and tweaking, but the limitations of the amazon store builder are preventing me from building what I really want. If anybody has suggestions for better affiliate/associate store builders, let me know. Or perhaps I should just build my own using the Amazon API, eh? Now there’s an idea… :-)

Suggestions for books I should feature/review much appreciated.
