New Books

Posted on Apr 19, 2004

The arrival of new books is always a great moment. The smell and feel of the newly minted pages and the anticipation of the content never fails to provide a boost on an otherwise mediocre day (one weeks holiday resulted in an INBOX with over 2000 messages to read).

Today's haul from Amazon was:

Practical RDF by Shelley Powers,
Programming Jabber by D.J. Adams and
Code Reading: The Open Source Perspective by Diomidis Spinellis.

So far I've done little other than skim through and scan the introduction to Practical RDF.

Diomidis was in my year at Imperial and is one of the cleverest and most practical people I know - the book should be well worth a read.
