Review Campaign on Amazon

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

I recently started posting book reviews on Amazon and re-posting them from my blogs. Previously I didn’t do that because I thought that Amazon acquired exclusive rights for submitted reviews but I wanted to include my selected reviews in my own books and on my own websites. Recently I read its small print and found that Amazon rights are non-exclusive. Of course, I take advantage and promote my blogs in book reviews that have the following form:

Software engineering book reviews point to DumpAnalysis Portal and Software Generalist blog, science, history and general non-fiction book reviews point to Literate Scientist blog, management book reviews point to Management Bits and Tips blog. I found already that people Google these blogs to find out who’s that guy and the number of visitors to my other blogs has doubled.

Software Engineering for Memory Analysis

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

Sometimes I’m asked about a broad software engineering book to recommend for general memory dump analysis that covers software architecture, design methods and diagramming languages like UML, programming languages, concurrency, real-time issues and many other topics you need to know to have systems understanding that helps in problem identification and debugging. Here’s the book that I was fortunate to buy 4-5 years ago in a book shop and is a sheer pleasure to read:

Software Engineering for Real-Time Systems

Buy from Amazon

Today I found that there even exists an OMG certification based on it:

I might try later this summer.

Patterns of Computer Memory

Monday, May 18th, 2009

Last weekend I came across this book in a local bookshop:

Patterns Of The Earth

Buy from Amazon

I immediately recalled all beautiful patterns I have seen and collected from visualized computer memory maps. I plan to include many images in a full-color book this summer:

Patterns of Computer Memory (ISBN: 978-1906717711)

This book should be essential for creative computer engineers and inquiring debugging minds!

Programming Language Pragmatics (3rd Edition)

Friday, May 8th, 2009

As soon as I wrote my review of the 2nd edition I found out that the 3rd edition was recently published and immediately bought it. I intend to read it from cover to cover again and publish my notes and comments in my reading notebook on Software Generalist blog. The new edition is also bundled with a companion CD.

Programming Language Pragmatics, Third Edition

Buy from Amazon

Hope in one of subsequent editions the author includes my Riemann Programming Language :-)
