Boss: For next project I suggest we use webassembly
Me: Why not use real assembly

Chapter 1: Using all-caps to reach a greater audience

Funniest O'Reilly meme so far :)

My next O'Reilly book

Shame me later for piracy but I think i just found the goldmine of books and vid tuts. Has packt(books, vids) and even O'Reilly books as recent as last month. This good boye has EVERYTHING.
coderprog.com

So devrant now has two memes: O'Reilly books and stack overflow copying and pasting.

The ONLY O'Reilly book i need desperately.

It has to be a joke...

Been sick since Wednesday with a heavy feeling of dizziness and vertigo (BPPV). Basically I got sick in the week I intentionally planned nothing to tackle my workload and get some stuff done, but I was physically unable to work on it until now.

Meeting is on Monday.

Also preorder my new book on O'Reilly, much appreciated.

(No, I am not panicking, pls send help)

Studying in my shitty non-dev job...hoping for get a dev job soon... very nice book 👌

Uno Questione:

I "Bought" a copy of O'reilly's Learning Python. How much of the 1200 page monster is actually necessary/good learning material? Anyway, have a snek.

When I need help with JavaScript, I google 'JS (insert query here)...'

When I need help with Go, I have to google 'Go programming (insert query here)...'

The extra term 'programming' is so search engines recognise I'm looking for answers related to the Go language.

Ironic, but Go is the least 'search engine friendly' language. Sites like O'Reilly and Packtpub return searches with uneven results.

God I love these

What's your favourite animal on O'reilly book covers?

If there's an issue, there's a high chance of you finding the remedy in an O'Reilly book :')

I took two years of CS then switched degrees. I've been working in technology since 2007 with those two years, a bunch of O'Reilly books, and some awesome mentors. I guess that is a dev bootcamp. We didn't have those in my day.

While I do have a degree, I don't recommend people to get one unless you are legally bound to get one; barber, hairdresser, doctor, lawyer.

TIL that javascript was named so to leech of the popularity of java. This clears a lifetime of confusion thanks.

I've been skimming this slightly outdated "Learning Android" O'Reilly text and I found the error log levels to be colorful enough to be amusing...

found this great book on web dev web assembly. Reviews? anyone?

Im kinda like to write a book: "O'Reilly Getting Started Girlfriend.exe"

I wrote a tech book several years ago for O'Reilly, which itself was a dream come true. I'm still amazed I got that deal done, and the fact that my name was on a title with a unique animal on the cover is SUPER cool.

Back then, their publishing system was based on Git with their own markup language, and it was sort of a chore to use. Easy and straightforward, but laborious. I spent 3 entire days just (re)formatting my drafts to their code. They've upgraded it since, I see, based on the same fundamental versioning idea and still using Git. Neat!

I've also done tech writing for .NET Magazine, which used Word's change tracking, and penned articles for other publications using Google Docs, or even drafts in WordPress.

Have all of you run into interesting systems used by publishers to manage content?

GUYS! Humble bundle has teamed up with O'Reilly for a selection of Machine Learning books, anybody interested should check it out, 6 days left :
humblebundle.com/books/machine-learning-books

Im thinking of writing a book on blockchain and possibly partnering with O'Reilly to get something solid done. It would be an in-depth book about the inner workings of blockchain technology, without assuming any knowledge of programming (but would cover every topid thoroughly).

Who here would be interested in reading something like that?

Does anyone know where you could buy O'Reilly books cheaper than they are on their site and possibly cheaper than Amazon? 50$ per book for a student it quite a lot.

Can some of you tell me about your experience with developing C# on linux?
I still have an O'Reilly book laying around and was wondering, if its worth learning it as my next language.

Best Sites to Learn Ruby: poignant.guide, ruby-lang.org, rubymonk.com, SoloLearn App, O'Reilly Books, apidock.com

Beste Seiten um C++ zu lernen: cplusplus.com, cppreference.com, SoloLearn App, O’Reilly Books

And of course, YouTube has also reinforced.

These are my personal experiences. Which method (books, websites, apps) do you think is the best?

I am finally gonna learn git tomorrow (and the day after). I hope I'll still have some energy left for that after work..

O'Reilly friends

Things I want to accomplish in 2023:

- learn rust
- learn a functional programming language (elixir probably)
- finish the O'Reilly book about microservices
- learn and contribute to gnunet
- read at least other 2 books about SE

Regarding the last point, I've always underestimated SE books.

!rant O'Reilly has awesome content. EOF

There is a bot in Telegram to make o'reilly books. (it isn't mine).
t.me/OreillyBot

Help. How good are O'Reilly and dummies books to learn some programming languages and other IT stuff?

Really enjoying Google Hacks from O'Reilly 2nd edition even though from 2005. Has anyone read Spidering Hacks also O'Reilly?

Gonna have a lesson with Uncle Bob tomorrow

Possibily the weirdest coincidence I've experienced... I was just searching for, specifically and explicitly, the ebook version of O'Reilly pocket references for a babydev since physical copies, if/when available, are expensive and slow delivery. While googling the PHP one, somehow, 1984 (orwell) in russian was oddly high in the search results.

1984 is my favourite book and I've been meaning to take time to brush up on my russian. Normally I'd blame the result on things like tracking data, but this was via a clean, isolated, never logged into anything, system. The only factors that couldve been skewing results are my explicit locale settings, primary- german/germany, secondary- english/US, additional languages- dutch, russian, arabic, spanish. No other cookies or previous search history and using a static IPv4 that has been allocated, but until a few hours ago, totally unused for ~6mo (part of my /28 block).

It's so serendipitous that I keep mulling over everything trying to figure out wtf I missed... seriously, how the hell does "O'Reilly pocket reference php ebook" return a russian paperback of 1984???

I'm totally gonna find and buy one now too (the actual result is costly, plus would ship from germany so more costly).

Are o reilly books a cool way to start learning c++ ?

Any tips on taking more of an architect role and dev team manager? Also on becoming more business oriented?
Kinda being pushed into it by life but I'm not sure how to do it. I am checking some O'Reilly books as a starting point.

Anyone got an opinion on the O'Reilly programming books bundle on Humble Bundle?
It's really cheap, I found one of the books on Amazon for 40€ and the whole bundle costs 14€. But are the books generally good. Or are most of them already outdated?

Not a rant...
Anybody has a Safari Books subscription? Is it worth it?
Does any other service to recommend that provides updated manuals and tutorials?

Sometimes the new tools and frameworks have so bad manuals that I enjoy the O'Reilly books... even on early released.
