I have "tricks of the gp gurus" and in my opinion it''s a REALLY good book - goes into much detail without boring you.
Additionally that author has a great sense of humour, random quote:
"Ok, let''s get serious again. And let me get this bra of my head."
Maybe it''s not everybodys taste but I liked it.
I bought at your local equivalent of amazon.com (.de).
I bought the American version cause all the terms are in Englisch anyways so why bother mixing two languages up translating stuff. besides I have my experience that Englisch(American) book are mostly better, in part because the language is so easy.
I couldn''t imagine a programming language based upon German. It''d be horrible)
So anyways, even your knowledge of Englisch isn''t as good youu might wanna get it. I really liked and went through it one session (almost).
