Hi there, I've got a few books of late particularly from WROX and whilst
they have good content they aren't all that useful as they weigh so much and
take up so much space. In a couple of weeks I'm going to Thailand for a
couple of months and I think I'm going to take the Quick start visual guides
for JavaScript, XML, Photoshop and HTML 4.0
This year I've been lugging around Mannings JSP book, ORAs EJB and Java and
XML books and Jasons Servlet Programming and I left WROX's Prof JSP at my
last destination because it was simply too big and heavy. As you could
possibly imagine this is a non trivial amount of weight I'm lugging around
IMHO :-)
These books all together weigh as much as your typical WROX book. Great for
travel reading IMHO.
I think I'm really going to have to leave some pretty good references behind
this time round. But given how quickly this technology is changing they are
so often obselete in a matter of months :-)
Are there any other travelling consultants that have this problem?
Ordinarily I'd seriously consider buying new books again at my destination
but Thailand's English Hi Tech book selection isn't always the latest
offerings.
Cheers. Or at least that's how things were in March when I was there last.
