| Resource | Notes |
| Diversophy Online http://www.diversophy.com/game/ |
This game helped illustrate the different ways that businessmen from various countries generally operated in coming to decisions. I did fairly well in my understanding of these traits. Thanks to Gabor Por for pointing this out. |
| SAMS Teach Yourself JavaServer Pages Annunziato & Kaminaris |
My first dymanic content was successfully done through this on the first day. So I dropped PHP and went for Java and JSP. |
|
Programming Perl |
It's already been said elsewhere. Invaluable. |
| Learning Java 2nd Ed. Niemeyer & Knudsen |
A good thorough book that is just at the right level for what I needed. I bought this one the second day. I understood that I needed a good theoretical background and I got it here. |
| Object Oriented Data Structures Using Java Dale, Joyce & Weems |
An excellent text that took me right back to sophomore year in CS. Now that the world expects OO, it's a great time to rub my nose in the basics. If a large number of list functions perform well in XR, it is due to this book. |
| Another Biblilography | I haven't used any of these books, but you never know when they might come in handy. |
