Comments
from the
Editor
==========================================================
What do DOM, AJAX, Design Patterns, ASP.NET 2.0, and Agile Web Development
with Rails all have in common?
If you guessed that they all are topics that involve Web development, you
wouldn’t necessarily be wrong, but you wouldn’t be right in regard to my
question!
These five topics are covered in some of the top ten computer books that were
selling on Amazon at the time I wrote this newsletter. I found this to be an
interesting list of topics, but not a surprising list. Web development has taken
over.
Along with that, methodologies, architectures, and simply “thinking before
coding” also seems to be gaining ground over the simply “code until it works
right” approaches that many people have often used. The fact that Design
Patterns and Agile programming books are near the top of the book list is a
great sign. Hopefully this trend continues!
Of course, three of the other top 10 books that I didn’t mention focused on
eBay and selling stuff. So I guess the next best thing to coding might just be
selling things. I wonder if you can buy a book on eBay about buying things on
eBay…..
Until next week…
Brad!
