			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.modlost.net/home/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/what-should-i-do-with-my-life.jpg"><img class="alignright" style="margin-bottom: 10px;" title="what-should-i-do-with-my-life" src="http://www.modlost.net/home/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/what-should-i-do-with-my-life-182x300.jpg" alt="" width="182" height="300" /></a>The book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Whole-New-Mind-Right-Brainers-Future/dp/1594481717/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1266596384&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank">The Whole New Mind by Daniel Pink</a> gave me a long list of new books to read and one of them was <a href="http://www.amazon.com/What-Should-Do-My-Life/dp/0345485920/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1266597230&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank">What Should I Do with My Life by Po Bronson</a>. The title is quite impressive, isn&#8217;t it? What kind of information this book can have? was my first question and after reading more about the author and the book itself I&#8217;ve found that it&#8217;s a list of experiences of different people who answers that question.</p>
<p>From time to time, we ask ourselves if we feel good doing what we&#8217;re doing and I know that it&#8217;s quite complicated to answer when you feel comfortable with the daily routine (sleep -&gt; work -&gt; go out with friends/partner/wife -&gt; go home -&gt; sleep). How our lives can change if we do something that we love and do with passion? I believe that it will change dramatically.</p>
<p>Over all my professional work in software development, I saw a few programmers/project managers/software architects/software testers/etc. that work with passion and you can do great things with them but it&#8217;s quite complicated to do anything if you don&#8217;t do it with passion.</p>
<p>I love my career but sometimes you fall in the routine and it gets boring. This kind of books are really good pulling you forward and I really recommend you this book if you want to think about what should you do with your life.</p>

<p>Primero debo confesar que me llamó mucho la atención el Amazon Kindle desde que salió al mercado y entró a mi lista de posibles compras desde aquel entonces, pero ¿qué me desanimó? El costo, que aparentemente las versiones electrónicas de los libros no me resultaban muy baratas, habían pocos libros técnicos y creo que la principal fue que no podía usar las características wireless en Perú.</p>
<p>Con el tiempo fue mejorando la cantidad de libros técnicos disponibles y con la versión Kindle 2 Wireless Global me sorprendió ver que Perú estaba en la lista de países disponibles, así que ahora si podría comprar libros desde el Kindle usando el wireless. Estas características hicieron que aumente su prioridad en mi lista de compras pero antes hice un poco de análisis iterativo por algunos días.</p>
<p>Estos son los factores que me motivaron a comprarlo:</p>
<ol>
<li>Ya cuento con una colección de libros entre técnicos y no técnicos de aproximadamente 70 libros. Con el ritmo de comprar de 3 a 4 libros por mes esa cantidad iba a aumentar con el tiempo y lamentablemente esa información estaba ahí en mi biblioteca y que no puedo llevarla conmigo.</li>
<li>No hay una diferencia dramática entre el costo de un libro electrónico vs. uno físico pero si a eso le sumas el costo de envío a Perú y las compras mensuales que hago,&#8230; números por ahí y por allá dieron como resultado que si era económicamente saludable.</li>
<li>Las características importantes del Kindle: búsquedas, notas, diccionario incluido y aún mas interesante que te pueda leer algunos libros.</li>
</ol>
<p>Y estas son desventajas que decidí asumir:</p>
<ol>
<li>Iba a continuar comprando libros físicos ya que no todos los libros que quiero leer tiene formato electrónico, especialmente los que no son tan populares.</li>
<li>Libros donde los colores sean importantes definitivamente no van por el Kindle a pesar de que existan versiones electrónicas.</li>
</ol>
<p>Finalmente, debo decir (ya con varios libros que he leído desde el Kindle) que este gadget me gusta mucho y que definitivamente a cumplido con las expectativas que tenía. Si alguien piensa invertir en un e-reader, ¡le recomendaría un Kindle!</p>
<p>Happy reading!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Acabo de terminar de leer por segunda vez <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pragmatic-Thinking-Learning-Refactor-Programmers/dp/1934356050" target="_blank">Pragmatic Thinking &amp; Learning</a> uno de los libros más impactantes que he leido. Pensando sobre este libro me dí cuenta que nunca escribí un post sobre la lista &#8211; de la cual siempre hablo &#8211; de libros que me han influenciado y/o cambiado mi forma de ver el mundo, la programación, etc.</p>
<p>Por eso aquí les comparto solo un pequeño resumen ya que cada uno de estos libros ameritarían varios posts:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Refactoring-Improving-Design-Existing-Code/dp/0201485672/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1264187467&amp;sr=1-1" target="_blank">Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code</a> by Martin Fowler, el primer capítulo de este libro tuvo gran impacto en mi estilo de programación, a tal nivel que sin dudar podría decir que mi vida como programador se divide antes y después de leer este libro.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Test-Driven-Development-Kent-Beck/dp/0321146530/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1264187362&amp;sr=1-1" target="_blank">Test Driven Development: By Example</a> by Kent Beck, es uno de los libros que no pude soltar hasta terminar de leerlo porque aprender TDD con un ejemplo, con los comentarios, recomendaciones y patrones que Kent Beck comparte es tener una lluvia de nuevas ideas que te sumerge tanto en esta técnica que no puedes dejarla hasta ver el resultado final.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pragmatic-Thinking-Learning-Refactor-Programmers/dp/1934356050/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1264187438&amp;sr=1-1" target="_blank">Pragmatic Thinking and Learning: Refactor Your Wetware</a> by Andy Hunt, debo confesar que antes de leer este libro no me preocupaba mucho por aprender sobre el funcionamiento del cerebro y como aplicar ese conocimiento para ser mas productivo. Algunas de las técnicas (mindmaps, wikis, etc.) que se menciona ya las venia usando y al leerlo pude comprender porque funcionaban tan bien; otras técnicas fueron nuevas para mi pero rápidamente se convirtieron en parte importante de mis hábitos y rutinas (molesking, podcast, contexts, gtd)</li>
<li><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Presentation-Zen-Simple-Design-Delivery/dp/0321525655/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1264188366&amp;sr=1-1" target="_blank">Presentation Zen: Simple Ideas on Presentation Design and Delivery</a> by Garr Reynolds, me gusta hacer presentaciones y siempre he probado nuevas técnicas como solo usar imágenes o usar mapas mentales. Este libro me brindó un nueva base para hacer presentaciones y despertó uno de los hobbies dormidos que tenía (la <a href="http://www.flickr.com/modlost" target="_blank">fotografía</a>). Lo que más me impacto en este libro es que no solo es sobre presentaciones sino que tiene mas cosas que se pueden aplicar en cada contexto de tu vida.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Whole-New-Mind-Right-Brainers-Future/dp/1594481717/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1264187411&amp;sr=1-1" target="_blank">A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future</a> by Daniel Pink, me intrigaba leer este libro por referencias de Andy Hunt y Garr Reynolds así que la compré (mi primera adquisición para el Kindle Global) y no quedé decepcionado, la propuesta, los ejercicios,  los sustentos, etc. me impactaron y afianzó más mi interés por aprender sobre el cerebro humano y potenciar el lado &#8220;derecho&#8221; del cerebro.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Getting-Things-Done-Stress-Free-Productivity/dp/0142000280/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1264191399&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank">Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity</a> by David Allen, por varias fuentes ya había escuchado sobre esta técnica y decidí comprar el libro luego de ver la presentación de<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qo7vUdKTlhk" target="_blank"> David en Google.</a> La técnica es muy pero muy buena y llevo aplicándola en el trabajo con mucho éxito pero aun necesito llevarla a otros contextos como el personal y en mis consultorías.</li>
</ul>
<p>Esta es la lista hasta ahora y creo que aumentará rápidamente porque he pedido varios libros que recomiendan estos autores. Lo más emocionante de todo esto es aplicar las técnicas que enseñan y ver que funcionen no solo contigo sino con las personas a las que compartes este conocimiento.</p>

<p>I recommend this book for everyone who wants to know everything about security in Java applications. I like &#8220;Chapter 1: Security by Default&#8221; and &#8220;Chapter 2: Basics of Security&#8221;, they are a good introduction to security concepts.</p>
<p>I found in this book a better way to express what I always think about the way some sysadmins take care of security,&#8230; they only pay attention to application security!</p>
<blockquote><p>Most security administrators focus on network and infrastructure security and tend to ignore application-specific and content-level vulnerabilities. This leads to application and content-level attacks suck as malicious code injection, cross-site scripting, XML attacks, and so on.</p></blockquote>
<p>It shows some interesting best practices and strategies to secure java applications and also web services. If you take care of security, you must buy this book.</p>

<p>I found this book in Mel Gorman&#8217;s site when I was searching about Linux kernel internals. You can donwload this book from his site based on kernel 2.4 VM or get   the printed edition which has notes about kernel 2.6 VM.</p>
<p>You will need to have some knowledge about operating system internals before reading this book. It has approximately 200 theory pages and 500 source code documented pages.</p>
<p>I recommend chapter 8: SLAB Allocator.</p>

<p>In 2001, I started playing with LAMP (GNU/LiNUX, Apache, MySQL, PHP). Some tutorials and the php online documentation were a great help to getting started with this scripting language but they weren&#8217;t enough.</p>
<p>In 2003, I bought this book and it helped me a lot to get a strong knowledge of  PHP programming. Also in 2003, I got my first job and my very first task was to participate in the development of three applications using PHP. This book is special to me.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s talk about the book itself, the chapters I like and I recommend are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Chapter 31: PHP and XML</li>
<li>Chapter 32: Web Services</li>
<li>Chapter 36: Security and Cryptography</li>
</ul>
<p>I also found the Appendix A: PHP for C Programmers very interesting because I had been a C programmer since 1993.</p>

<p><span id="more-120"></span>This book is also known as &#8220;The Llama Book&#8221;. Perl is one of my favorite programming languages. Perl is amazing but it could be a nightmare if you see code programmed by an upset guy.</p>
<p>I found this book very interesting because you can read, read, read, and don&#8217;t stop. It&#8217;s not boring and if you are planning to learn Perl, I recommend this book.</p>
<p>If you are a perl programmer this book can help you a lot because it explains some concepts behind the design of Perl. Happy hacking!!</p>

<p>Everyone in the Linux world should know about Robert Love, he&#8217;s a great hacker. I read some articles he wrote in Linux Journal Magazine and I saw his work in linux kernel source. As you could imagine I bought this book and it didn&#8217;t desappoint me like other kernel books did (he explains the concepts behind the design of the kernel scheduler very well).</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s talk about the book. I recommend all the chapters, all the book!. I found very useful these chapters:</p>
<ul>
<li>Chapter 3: Scheduling</li>
<li>Chapter 5: Interrupts and Interrupt Handlers</li>
<li>Chapter 6: Bottom Halves and Deferring Work</li>
<li>Chapter 8: Kernel Synchronization Methods</li>
</ul>
<p>There is a new edition of this book!</p>
