Visual Basic 2005: A Developer's Notebook. MacDonald

So, you've managed to pick this book up. Cool. Really, I'm excited about that! Of course, you may be wondering why these books have the odd-looking, college notebook sort of cover. I mean, this is O'Reilly, right? Where are the animals? And, really, do you need another series? Couldn't this just be a cookbook? How about a nutshell, or one of those cool hacks books that seems to be everywhere?

The short answer is that a developer's notebook is none of those thingsin fact, it's such an important idea that we came up with an entirely new look and feel, complete with cover, fonts, and even some notes in the margin. This is all a result of trying to get something into your hands you can actually use. 

It's my strong belief that while the nineties were characterized by everyone wanting to learn everything (Why not? We all had six-figure incomes from dotcom companies), the new millennium is about information pain. People don't have time (or the income) to read through 600 page books, often learning 200 things, of which only about 4 apply to their current job.

It would be much nicer to just sit near one of the uber-coders and look over his shoulder, wouldn't it? To ask the guys that are neck-deep in this stuff why they chose a particular method, how they performed this one tricky task, or how they avoided that threading issue when working with piped streams.

The thinking has always been that books can't serve that particular needthey can inform, and let you decide, but ultimately a coder's mind was something that couldn't really be captured on a piece of paper.
