Eight books turned out to be ten
June 8th, 2008
In my last post I listed the books I bought some time ago. It turns out that Schneier’s Cryptography Classics Library was a neat collection of books instead of one big über brick.
The collection consists of the following books:
- Applied Cryptography
- Secrets and Lies: Digital Security in a Networked World
- Practical Cryptography
I now realize that if I had noticed the *’s in the product description at Amazon when I placed the order this would be quite obvious.
I’ve just started reading the Applied Cryptography book, and so far so good.
Books!
June 6th, 2008
After a book frenzy at Amazon my books arrived. The original plan was to buy two or three books from Akademika (a Norwegian online book store), but after a tips from Mats I took the time to check out amazon. Not only did Amazon have way more books than Akademia, but they were so much cheaper too! At Akademika the three books I had in mind cost about 1500 NOK, at Amazon I got 8 books for the same price!
Here are books I bought:
- Freakonomics
- Don’t Make Me Think
- Designing the Obvious
- Absolute C++ (3rd Edition)
- The Design of Everyday Things
- Schneier’s Cryptography Classics Library
- Learning Python
- Mastering Regular Expressions
