Reference Books at Work and Home
-
Hello, Where do you keep your reference books (software development in particular)? There are reference books from programming to network administration. I have many reference programming books. I program at work and at home and these reference books are imperative. Buying two copies of the same book is, well, conceivably a waste of money. Do you care with you a huge box of books everywhere you go? How about business trip? Thanks, Kuphryn

The more experienced I get, the fewer reference books I buy. MSDN, Google, and CP meet most (if not all) of my needs (credits to Dan for making the suggestion first). That being said, I've rarely needed to use more than one reference book at one time for a reasonable amount of time. I normally keep mine at work, but I can easily take one home if I need to work at home. I don't recall the last time I needed to dig through 3 or 4 different books in one day. - Mike ------------------------- "No human being would stack books like that." - Dr. Venkman

But nowadays I tend to read more abstract stuff, like design patterns, so I read those at home. If I need to look up an API, or an algorithm or something, I go online.

My response is similar to Christian's... Generally I keep the ones I need at my place of employment, where I do most of my programming work - that way they are at hand when I need them for reference. However, if I'm reading up on a particular software development concept, discipline, process, etc., then I tend to keep it in my backpack and have it with me 24/7 so I can read it whenever I get a free moment... :omg: Hope this helps! :bob::bob: :D :bob::bob: evan stone | petaluma, ca, usa

...because they have a tendency to sprout legs and walk away if you don't. ;) (BTW, I only do this with books that I personally buy, not ones that the company reimburses me for) :bob::bob: :D :bob::bob: evan stone | petaluma, ca, usa
