What is your favorite electronics or software book?

dougw

In the age of the internet books seem to be much less travelled.

Do books still play a major role in your technical endeavors?

Or do you just keep some around for sentimental reasons?

What book has been the most useful to you in your career?

Does this coincide with your favorite tech book?

Feel free to mention your favorite technical magazine as well.

I read a lot of tech magazines every week but really liked "Electronics" magazine in it heyday.

I wonder if I still have some squirreled away somewhere.

I expect I still have some Amiga magazines.

 

I forgot to mark this as a question - is there a way to change it to a question?

  • Doug,

     

    I find that I am buying fewer and fewer books these days.  Prior to the explosion of internet tutorials and examples, a good book was the best way for me to learn new skills.  Some of my favorite books (that I still reference) are:

     

    The Art of Electronics by Paul Horowitz and Winfield Hill

    Beginning Visual C++ 2008 by Ivor Horton

    USB Complete by Jan Axelson

     

    I was a follower of CIrcuit Cellar Magazine for many years. (I have several years worth of these on bye shelves)
