> ***C++ in a Nutshell
> Order Number: 298X
> "C++ in a Nutshell" packs an enormous amount of information on C++ (and
> the many libraries used with it) in a lean quick reference that offers
> practical examples for the most important, most often used aspects of
> C++. Cross-references link related methods, classes, and other key
> features. When you're programming, you need answers quickly to
> questions about language syntax or parameters required by library
> routines. This is an ideal resource for students as well as
> professional programmers.  http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/cplsian/
>
> Chapter 4, "Statements," is available online:
> http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/cplsian/chapter/index.html
>
>
> ***The Complete FreeBSD, 4th Edition
> Order Number: 5164
> This new edition, covering version 5 of FreeBSD, is now available
> through O'Reilly Community Press. It is an eminently practical
> guidebook that explains not only how to get a computer up and running
> with the FreeBSD operating system, but also how to turn it into a
> highly functional and secure server that can host large numbers of
> users and disks, support remote access, and provide web service, mail
> service, and other key parts of the internet infrastructure.

> ***What I Hate About Your Programming Language
> Choosing a programming language is rarely ever as easy as making a list
> of features and choosing the best ones. Like programming, it can be
> messy and opinionated. Every language has its own philosophy, and
> whether that fits your own mind is often a matter of taste.

> .NET
> ---------------------
> ***Instrumenting Your .NET Application
> As they refine the .NET story, Microsoft seems to be getting more and
> more serious about pushing into the "enterprise" space. One of the
> latest pieces of evidence of this push is the release of the Enterprise
> Instrumentation framework (EIF), a set of classes and utilities that
> work with the .NET languages to provide white-box monitoring for
> distributed applications. Mike Gunderloy shows you how to add
> instrumentation to your own .NET applications.

> ***Goodbye PDA, Hello iPod?
> Many casual PDA users dumped their old handhelds when Apple first
> introduced address and calendar synch to the iPod. But for more serious
> PDA enthusiasts, that just wasn't enough. Now with the new iPods
> running firmware 2.0, notes have been added to the mix (plus a few
> other goodies). Here's a look at how the iPod could become your next
> PDA...with a 10 GB hard drive or bigger!
