Worth mentioning "Tangled Web" is probably the best overview of security issues that emerge from browsers and the HTML architecture. http://nostarch.com/tangledweb

Somehow hadn't heard of this book, and as I'm intending to do some web development soon this book sounds worthwhile. Thanks for the tip!

Somewhat of a shameless plug, but in order not to miss great programming books, you can signup with my new book notification service (http://anynewbooks.com/). We featured 'The Tangled Web' the week it came out: http://anynewbooks.com/2011/11/30/this-weeks-new-books-in-pr...

I love TTW. I've read most of it now. It's detailed, for example the URL parsing discussion. However, Zalewski pulls the details into a big picture narrative.

It immensely benefited me -- a web developer familiar with the craft but lacking depth. It could be a difficult introduction to read cover to cover! By all means get it if you plan a deep relationship with web programming.

I have that book on my Amazon wish list, but the e-book is $39.95 on No Starch's website (so $19.98 after 50% discount), yet is only $17.57 in Kindle format on Amazon, every day. Am I supposed to feel bad about saving $2 but contributing to DRM by buying it for Kindle format?

You would really rather lock yourself in the Amazon world for $2 ?

They have an Inkscape and GIMP book. Are these any good? They look interesting. Wish I could pre-order the one that ships in August.

ukdm• 14 years ago

Can recommend the Inkscape book.

Preordering is disabled due to technical limitations with their credit card processing. If I were you I'd try contacting them directly. There's a good chance they'll accommodate you with a discount on your future order.

This is an amazing offer and I am going to pick up a few titles I have had my eye on for the price of one.

No Starch Press is absolutely one of the best publishers in technology books, period.

Bill, their founder, also has a fine taste in scotch, so you should trust them based on that alone.

No Starch Press owned by the founder, not some large corporation. They publish excellent technical books.

I've met the founder, Bill, he's a great guy.

zeruch• 14 years ago

I know Bill, too (and I've been together with NSPs former managing editor for the last decade)...his taste in Scotch I'm not sold on, but his books are great :)

Thanks but it's BOURBON. That's why you don't like my taste in Scotch. I have 22 bottles of Bourbon in the office at the moment. Only a couple of bottles of Scotch.

I can recommend "The Land of Lisp" - a fun introduction into Common Lisp: http://nostarch.com/lisp.htm

Linux Programming Interface, great (the best?) book on linux/posix API, huge discount considering the normal price http://nostarch.com/tlpi

Seconded, I love this book. Definitely in my top 5 tech books ever.

gizzlon2• 14 years ago

Über crap, it's ~1500 pages! =)

Highly recommend "Silence on the wire" : http://nostarch.com/silence.htm

It's the opposite of a practical security book, more philosophical I guess. A good read, full of more or less crazy ideas ..
