I recently read Programming C# 5.0 by Ian Griffiths as part of O’Reilly’s Blogger Review program. For those who care about formats, I read the epub format and not the print one. Overall the book isn’t bad, but there are some issues that left me less than impressed. My primary issue with the book is that it isn’t clear who it is intended for. Certainly, targeting a generic C# book is going to be hard given the wide variety of areas C# is used in (Azure, XNA / MonoGame, WinRT, etc) and it seemed like there was a need for the book to be a little more specific in terms of domain.

The Book of CSS3 is an informative text for those who have a little CSS experience and would like to see what all the fuss is about with CSS3. However, if you have no knowledge of CSS you are going to be lost at sea while reading the text. It is certainly not meant to teach the basics of CSS, rather, as the title suggests it is more focussed on what is changing and being added in CSS3. Full Review >

If you are looking for a video tutorial on how to get started using Node.js, then this is not the video for you. Unlike most of the O'Reilly training videos, this one puts theory far before practical development concerns, making it all but useless for practical study. Full Review >

This is one of the best video tutorials of Git that I’ve seen and I’ve seen a lot of them. Unlike, other videos it deals with more than just Git’s basic functionality. An example, of this would be the twenty-minute long section on “rebassingâ€, a feature of Git that can be used to avoid merge conflicts. Full Review >

On Feb 24, 2011 Michael Dominick wrote: Great for learning iOS
If you're interested in developing dynamic iOS apps that provide the user with a great experience you have likely considered or already decided to go the native app route rather than the web app route.
Unfortunately for many developers, especially those that are not familiar with Apple's development ecosystem and their tools, developing a native iPhone application that leverages Cocoa Touch and Objective - C can be a daunting task.
Learning iPhone Programming assumes no prior knowledge of the iPhone SDK and the related tools. It is a great primer for programmers that would like to expand to iOS Full Review >
