Judd Robbins

1988, SYBEX, 0895885050

Both a reminder of the old days and invaluable when confronted by a dinosaur application that still uses DOS. (And believe me, there’s still a lot of them in use.) Also comes in handy for setting up a retro-gaming box.

2001, Sams Publishing, 0672320290

This is one of those books that are both utterly useless and completely invaluable at the same time. Basically a rehash of the online PHP manual (hence utterly useless), it becomes an invaluable resource when working onsite (behind firewalls and no Internet access). But then again, why not just download the PHP manual onto removable media? Outdated
