LOL... No, I didn't. :-P
I just listed the 'must haves'. To be honest... I have all of these books in electronic form. I need to copy over the HBase in Action to my iPad. I'm not an Apple fanboi, but just being able to have a complete set of reference books in a single device that is searchable... And I can carry it around with me? Got to love that. (Oh and I can use it as a remote browser and even a terminal too. ) Now Kevin, if you're not getting paid to endorse these books, then you need to. :-) Dean Wampler keeps telling me the check is in the mail... now I know that the Dearborn Street Post office is slow, but its not that slow... :-P (All said tongue in cheek!) On a more serious note, both Manning and O'Riley offer discounts to user group members. Joining the local user group is free and its a nice perk. So I really urge you guys to get involved in your local user groups and join the community. The money I save when purchasing these e-books via the discount, really covers my cost of the meetup.com site and then part of the vimeo site where we store the videos from our talks. (Full disclosure, I founded CHUG and work with a group of good guys keeping it running.) Now back to my second cup of coffee!
