I generally like O’Reilly books - they’re normally a good read, no fuss. But it’s a matter of taste. The Kochbuch (cookbook) didn’t tell me new tricks, as far as I looked into it (got it for a colleague who wanted to do some web development, but never came to it). Most books of O’Reilly’s "kurz & gut" series (I guess it’s "pocket reference" in English) are good short references, not for learning. I got a lot of them, but in fact I normally find online references more handy and faster to use. And even for learning new stuff (my about 13th programming language is Lua...) I prefer online material with a "hands on" approach, except for more fundamental subjects like design patterns. Books on computer subjects are always outdated... Greetlings from Lake Constance!
