My O’Reilly Wish List

O’Reilly has a contest going on right now – so this is my entry…

The ‘contest’ is to build and post online a wish list of titles from the O’Reilly catalog worth up to $500. Then submit the link to your list to O’Reilly by Feb 22, 2011 at 11:59PM (PST). A winner will be randomly selected the following day.

I need to preface this list with a disclaimer: I have purchased many (my wife would definitely say too many) books recently. So this list does not necessarily represent my top choices as I have already purchased several of them. Watch for another post in the near future with a list of some of the titles that I have purchased over the past few months.
