September 28th, 2009

Here is a list of Signal Integrity Books that you will find useful if you are associated with High Speed PCB Design or signal integrity in some way. There is no single book that will serve your complete purpose, so you may like to keep more that one books as your reference.

Regular Expressions Cookbook

June 14th, 2009

I have in my hand the book “Regular Expressions Cookbook”, by Jan Goyvaerts and Steven Levithan. Very well written and I would like it to be part of your library, if it is not already there.

I think that reading on many programming languages simultaneously can be confusing for readers. I would have liked to see the book written for only one language. That way, the reader could have focused only on one language at a time.

I found a typo on page 275. The excerpts

Discover

16 digits, starting with 6011, or 15 digits starting with 5.

I think that this should be replaced with

16 digits, starting with 6011, or 16 digits starting with 65.

I think that the reular expression itself is correct.

Hope that this error stands corrected in next edition of the book.
