Ahhh… it is that time of the year again, just like in 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007.
And in this particular occasion, not only I can write about the books I’ve read, but also about the one I’ve written. But let’s start with the books I’ve read: in the technical category, these are the ones I’ve enjoyed in 2012 (in no particular order):
- What is Node?, by Brett McLaughlin
- Test Driving iOS Development with Kiwi, by Daniel Steinberg
- Test-Driven iOS Development, by Graham Lee
- Publishing with iBooks Author, by Nellie McKesson, Adam Witwer
- tmux: Productive Mouse-Free Development, by Brian P. Hogan
- Programming in Lua, Second Edition, by Roberto Ierusalimschy
In the non-technical category:
- Inside Apple: How America’s Most Admired–and Secretive–Company Really Works, by Adam Lashinsky
- Griftopia, by Matt Taibbi
- The Elements of Style, by William Strunk Jr.
- Einstein, by Walter Isaacson
- What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, by Haruki Murakami
- Graphic Design: The New Basics, by Ellen Lupton and Jennifer Cole Phillips
Finally, I’m very proud to say that O’Reilly published my first book, Mobile JavaScript Application Development, in print and electronic formats (PDF, ePub and Kindle), and received excellent reviews!
PS: I say this is the first… because the second will be published very soon :) stay tuned for more news.
