Review: jQuery Cookbook

http://www.linux-tutorial.info

I love jQuery. It's not like there aren't other JavaScript libraries out there, but jQuery was the first I became involved with and so far, it's solved every web design problem I've encountered. Of course, I usually go searching for a jQuery solution on the web when I have such a problem. That's why I was looking forward to O'Reilly's jQuery Cookbook.

Review: Linux in a Nutshell, 6th Edition

http://millionchimpanzees.blogspot.com

Linux in a Nutshell is considered a classic by anyone's standards, so it's expected to review well. In fact, the prior editions have reviewed extremely well so, in this case, turning in a bad review on the latest edition would mean that the authors and publisher must have completely rewritten the book and done a poor job of it.

Review: Learning Python, 4th Edition

http://www.linux-tutorial.info

Good grief, what accounts for such growth?
