Books We Want

This is a page to log community desires about books we'd like to get for our ever-growing library. No Starch Press and O'Reilly have graciously offered to donate books to us. Their booklists can be found at http://www.oreilly.com/pub/q/book_nostarch_title_asc and http://www.oreilly.com/pub/q/book_oreilly_title_asc.

Specific titles and general ideas are welcome.

General ideas

Basic Linux books for specific distros
Debian Distro reference books
In general I'd suggest "meta" books (e.g. security, networking) over specific books (e.g. Perl, PHP, hacks, cookbooks); so I guess I'm saying more general theory over programming or specific applications. I say this for two reasons. First, the specific books are more likely to change and go out of date quicker. And second, volunteers/staff/etc are more likely to have copies of the specific books themselves whereas they're unlikely to have the general ones since they're not "essential". -- Wren
Cookbooks and other specifics-oriented books

Kevin's top ten:

PHP Cookbook
Python Cookbook
SQL Cookbook - not yet released, new author, iffy?
JavaScript & DHTML Cookbook
The Art of Project Management - highly recommended by various folks, on my to-read list.
Designing Large Scale LANs - sounds like a good thing for ASSes to read. Would any ASSes take the time to read it? Who knows!
Practical Unix and Internet Security - apparently a venerable classic
Security and Usability - I'd like to read this one.
Practical PostgreSQL - kinda gets trashed on the Amazon reviews, but it would be good to have a PostgreSQL book around somewhere, since that's what fgdb runs on.
Linux Security Cookbook

Kevin's other suggestions:

for ASS:

Security Warrior
Network Troubleshooting Tools - gets mediocre reviews, but probably useful to ASS newbie.
Linux Network Administrator's Guide - some people on amazon like it. On the other hand, it's mostly a printed-and-bound version of documentation that's free online.
Internet Forensics - not-yet-released, but subject is ASS appropriate.

for Coders:

RT Essentials - If you can get anyone to agree to read this, grab it. But I'm not sure you can.
Producing Open Source Software - I'd want to review this before actually recommending it, but it would answer those questions from the coders who wander in and ask "how do I get involved in Open Source?"
Unit Test Frameworks
Secure Coding: Principles and Practices
Designing Interfaces - another not-yet-released from first-time-author.
Essential CVS - only in the "if you like books better" category

Other:

Running Linux - was good to me once upon a time. It's on its 5th edition now, perhaps is still good.
Open Sources 2.0 (doesn't FG already have the first one?)
Ambient Findability - not so sure it's good for FG specifically, but, um, sounds kinda interesting.
Using Moodle
Joy of Tech series (comic)
User Friendly series (comic)
