To make this list, a book must be on my “close” shelf, and must
- Be useful today
- Be incredibly well written
I have a second list coming, 10 Programming Books You Absolutely Must Read – those are not on my easy reach shelf, but are equally important.
Note also that many of these are not yet released; they represent the updated versions of books I keep close at hand…
Full Disclosure: As an author, I try hard neither to criticize competing books nor to hype mine. You’ll find just one (out of a couple dozen) of my books in this list. Finally, these links are through my private Amazon Associates account, and thus I gain a few pennies if you buy them (more if they are mine).

posts and other material, is there any other web page which gives
such information in quality?

means understand. It kind of feels too complex and extremely extensive for me.

I visited multiple sites but the audio quality for audio songs present at this website is truly
marvelous.
First of all I want to say excellent blog! I had a quick
question that I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was interested to
know how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to writing.
I’ve had a difficult time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out.
I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted
simply just trying to figure out how to
begin. Any ideas or hints? Appreciate it!

after looking at some of the posts I realized it’s new to me.
Anyhow, I’m certainly delighted I stumbled upon it and I’ll be bookmarking
it and checking back often!
I think what you posted made a great deal of sense. But, what about this?
what if you were to write a killer headline? I ain’t suggesting your information isn’t solid, however suppose you added
a title to maybe get folk’s attention? I mean 10 Programming Books
You Absolutely Want Within Easy Reach | Jesse Liberty
is a little plain. You could glance at Yahoo’s home page
and watch how they write article headlines to grab viewers to click.
You might add a video or a pic or two to grab readers interested about what you’ve got to
say. Just my opinion, it might bring your blog a
little livelier.
I do consider all of the concepts you’ve presented in your post.
They’re very convincing and can definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are
very brief for beginners. May just you please prolong them a
bit from next time? Thanks for the post.
My partner and I absolutely love your blog and find the majority of your post’s to be exactly I’m looking for.
Do you offer guest writers to write content for you? I wouldn’t mind composing
a post or elaborating on a few of the subjects you write related to here.
Again, awesome blog!
I’m noticing a lack of C++ books on there. I understand not wanting to hype your own, but your Teach Yourself in 21 hours book has helped me tremendously, and is still passed around my office as a reference.
I’m new to see this link…. shall i want to join here what shall i do?
I am no professional programmer, but as an amater I wrote a blog post (9 programming books I have read and somewhat liked) where, as the title suggest, I recommended 9 programming books. And our intersection is… 0. Odd! But eyeing your list, it is pretty clear we have different “coding interests”. Although I have to admit that 2 or 3 of the books you highlight seem pretty interesting!
Ruben
Thanks so much!
It’ looks useful.Thanks
Great List, I really want to check out the Pro Linq book
I think your books suit a C# programmer 🙂 .
For other programmers, they may prefer “The Productive Programmer” or “The Pragmatic Programmer” or “Getting Real” , sort of…
Silverlight? Sucks to be you dude.

@Jesse Liberty
The list is appearing for me now. Thanks!
@Jesse Liberty Good point. It HAD been on “Forthcoming” list from my computer book supplier, but now I’ve checked again and it’s gone, which is a real shame.
@Alfredo De Regil
Please let me know if you can see the list now that it is not in a scripted widget.
Thanks.
@Ian Smith
I love Jeff’s book and it would certainly be on the list except that as far as I can see there won’t be an edition for Expression 4.
For that matter, there are many other books that are not on this list simply because I don’t happen to be familiar with them.
Jesse,
Thank you for this interesting list.
I believe C# in Depth by Jon Skeet might be a good addition to the List.
Also am looking forward to “Silverlight in Action”, “Essential Linq” and “Essential WCF” books in the List.
Regards

Interesting, clearly some folks can see this list and others cannot. As soon as I can I will convert this to a simple table.
I do not see any list. I have tried with Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox.
+1 for not having the
No list can be seen here. Win XP FF 3.6.8
I have to ask: Why do you keep the “Foundation Expression Blend” book close to hand? It’s not a reference book, it’s a tutorial. It was written to an early beta so has huge chunks of out of date and misleading information. It’s missing important stuff (there’s stuff promoted on the back cover that’s not even in the book) One chapter has a huge section that is almost an exact cut and paste copy of the previous chapter, the editing on the book has been so poor.
So I have to ask again, what is it about the book that makes it a “must keep within reach”? When books like “Silverlight in Action”, “Silverlight Unleashed”, “Pro Silverlight 3” or (for Blend) Jeff Paries “Silverlight Animation with Blend” AREN’T on your list I’m totally confused by the inclusion of this book when other so much better books apparently haven’t made the grade.
I have a “done, but with errors on page”, using Windows 7 Pro x64 with IE 8, version 8.0.7600.16385.
Thanks
What! No Silverlight books? 🙂
Are you asking for suggestions or have you accidentally omitted the list?
The list is a widget from Amazon and may take a couple seconds to load. If you don’t see it, however, please do let me know and please tell me your browser and OS.
Thanks!
Where is the list?
