I had the chance to review this book, which will soon be published by Manning. Roy Osherove did a really good writing job.

In these last couple of days I’ve finished reading High Performance Web Sites: Essential knowledge for front-end engineers. I wish I had this book some six or seven years ago. It would really have stopped lots of silly ...

After some delaying, I’ve finally managed to read the Naked Trader: How anyone can still make money trading shares. No, I’m not going to invest all my finances in trading. Why? Well, because I’d only be able to buy 5 or 6 shares :) Thanks for asking! Ok, so I needed to get some concepts on how things work in the financial markets and I ended up ...

Ok, I can finally mention this on the open...in the last months I've been working with my friend Paulo on what is supposed to be the 1st Portuguese book on LINQ with C#.
