Safari Reading

Kevin Day, October 30th, 2008

If you haven’t heard about O’Reilly’s online book program, Safari, you really should give it a try. I wrote about it once before when I was doing a lot of Javascript development. I was able to read Crockford’s great Javascript book within a day of it’s publication.

Some of the most useful reading can be found in their “short cut” articles. One article counts for half of a book on my 10-book limit bookshelf, and it’s about 20 pages long on a very specific topic. I used the short cut article on Google Analytics to find the correct way to configure my Google Analytics account (there are a lot of options I didn’t know about).

They have a decent selection of business books as well. I got to read Eric Sink’s well-known Business of Software the other day.

I swear I’m not an O’Reilly shill though. I just think it’s fun to read on-demand.
