Ah, the classic nerd bait: an "early access" #Linux #programming tome wrapped in No Starch's signature void of originality. 📚✨ Meanwhile, the shopping cart remains as empty as the promises of this riveting read. 💸🙃

“Beginning #programmers are often so eager to accomplish the first part of that definition—writing a #program to perform a certain #task—that they fail on the second part of the definition, meeting the stated #constraints.

I call a program like that, one that appears to produce correct results but breaks one or more of the stated rules, a #KobayashiMaru.”🖖🏻 — #VAntonSpraul

Pre-order without even reading the sample chapter:

I would pay 200 for this one TBH even.

Probably not hard to guess who is my favorite book publisher ;-)

There's more to C# value types-structs and record structs-than just performance. Used well they can positively influence your design ideas in subtle ways.

My book covers them in some detail. Currently part of a NoStarchPress Humble Bundle! :

This arrived yesterday! A very nice surprise! I am looking forward to this getting out there and in everyone’s hands.

I'm happy to note that the No Starch "Dive into DevOps" https://www.humblebundle.com/books/dive-into-dev-ops-no-starch-books Humble bundle (which includes titles by @mwl and yours truly) has now made more than EUR 10,000 for the charity. #nostarch #humblebundle #devops #openbsd #freebsd #linux #bookofpf #absoluteopenbsd #absolutefreebsd

The bundle is available until June 10th, 2024.

Okay, the book makes me curious and the content is certainly excellent, but also a bit nostalgic?

What comes next, @nostarch@mastodon.social?

"The Book of VBScript"
"VB6 Secrets"
"COM Under the Hood"

I'm already looking forward to these book titles, @nostarch@infosec.exchange

Friends, for those of you who have asked about physical copies of The Book of PF, 3rd ed - I took delivery of the first box of the new batch here yesterday, with another to turn up when posten.no get their xmas sorted out. So anyone ordering https://nostarch.com/pf3 should have the option of receiving a physical copy soonish. Or you could opt to attend some upcoming event and buy one from my pile for my beer money :) #bookofpf #openbsd #freebsd #networking #security #pf #packetfilter #nostarch

I strongly recommend #nostarch bundles to anyone interested in infosec: low price, interesting insights and you donate something to @eff too!
