Want to Read

Simply a long list of stuff I need to get around to reading.

It should probably be split into several pages and a separate one created for books.

In no semblance of order:

Articles

Think of this as a public unsorted bookmarks folder.

• Introduction to QuickCheck
• Verifying State Machine Behavior Using test.check

Books

Currently reading:

  • Enjoyable, if somewhat repetitive (which is probably intentional), insight into the foibles of intuition.
• Learn Windows PowerShell 3 in a Month of Lunches by Don Jones and Jeffery Hicks
  • I’ve been using powershell haphazardly for work for a couple years now but hopefully this book will make it possible to remove some of the hacks I’ve pieced together while fumbling with it.
• CLR via C# 4th edition by Jeffrey Richter (currently a bit on standby)
  • Slow reading but great insights a bit deeper into C# and CLR
• City of Dragons, Volume Three of the Rain Wilds Chronicles by Robin Hobb
  • Borrowed from by brother in law, I’ve enjoyed most of her books and this one looks like it is cut from the same cloth.
