I hope everyone had a great Christmas! It was a nice day for me and my wife. We spent the day at her family's after opening the gifts we had for each other. I got several things including a laser level (nothing like adding some technology to a mundane task), but mainly I got a good boost to my programming library. The following are the books that I got as gifts:
- Code Complete
- Writing Secure Code
- Design Patterns in C#
- Pattern Hatching: Design Patterns Applied
- Introducing SQL Server 2005 for Developers
- Programming ADO.NET 2.0 Applications Advanced Topics
I'm about half way through the Pattern Hatching book, and I'm going to start the SQL Server 2005 book today during my self-training time.
