The Jason Salas Experience

In addition to the fiction and Python programming tutorial I've poring over this week, I just got a book order from Apress and Murach, the latter of which I've been very eager to check out. So heading into a weekend filled with postseason baseball and midseason football sportswriting, and Sunday night TV, here's my reading list:

• Murach's Java Servlets and JSP
• Murach's ASP.NET 2.0 Upgrader's Guide - C# Edition
• Pro C# 2005 and the .NET 2.0 Platform, Third Edition
• Pro ASP.NET 2.0 in C# 2005

The Murach titles look to make very good classroom companions, being oversized with big illustrations and lots of code examples. The Apress books are HUGE. Each is like 1,200 pages each, and after transporting all 4 from our receptionist desk to my office, I won't need to go to the gym. Which works out fine for me, seeing as how they'll keep me quite busy over the next week or so.

Reviews forthcoming...
