- [amazon_link id=“1593156456” target=“_blank” ]Mobilize: Strategies for Success from the Frontlines of the App Revolution[/amazon_link]. Centered on the iOS platform, it’s a good guide from an experienced marketeer on how to profit from the land grab that is mobile application development. A more quantitative approach would have fit better. Very useful.
- [amazon_link id=“0399535934” target=“_blank” ]The Phone Book: The Curious History of the Book That Everyone Uses But No One Reads[/amazon_link]. A history of the impact on society of the phone book: it was as important as the Internet is today, introducing a whole new way to relate to the world. Just like now, if you weren’t on the phone book, you didn’t exist. Déjà vu all over again.
- [amazon_link id=“0321549252” target=“_blank” ]Surreptitious Software: Obfuscation, Watermarking, and Tamperproofing for Software Protection[/amazon_link] Written in an academic way, but full of practical examples at the same time, you’ll love this one if you, like me, write meta-code, code that does funky things to other code. Loved the “Dynamic Watermarking” and “Hardware for Protecting Software” chapters.
- [amazon_link id=“0201038048” target=“_blank” ]The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 4A: Combinatorial Algorithms, Part 1[/amazon_link]. Archimedes started combinatorics 2200 years ago, and Knuth wrote the definitive review of its algorithms. Beautiful typesetting, timeless selection of algorithms and full of examples to master the subject: a masterwork.
