One of my brother-in-law’s favorite records is The Miraculous Hump Returns from the Moon by Sopwith Camel - a group that came out of San Fransisco in the 60’s.
In helping my sister procure some mp3’s, I ended up listening to the record and liking it a lot! I’m going to completely rip-off a review posted on Amazon (but give full credit of course) and post it here:
Rich Schiesser: IT Systems Management: Designing, Implementing, and Managing World-Class Infrastructures
To all the CEO's out there - read this book, then take a long, hard look at your IT department. (IT managers, read this book before your CEO does.)
Jesse James Garrett: The Elements of User Experience: User-Centered Design for the Web
Light read, but enjoyable. Recommended for anyone (technical or non-technical) involved in a web applicaton project.
Ralph Kimball: The Data Warehouse ETL Toolkit: Practical Techniques for Extracting, Cleanin
Make this the first book you read on data warehousing.
Shilpa Lawande: Oracle 10g Data Warehousing
This is an amazing book by an amazing technical author. A must-read for dba's involved with Oracle data warehouseing projects.
Simon Robinson: Professional C# (Programmer to Programmer)
Aimed at experienced programmers, this book is remarkably complete.
Laura Lemay: Sams Teach Yourself Perl in 21 Days (2nd Edition)
