Dumb Question: Authors of the reviews, or the books?

Give me the info and I'll look at working up patches.

I actually Tech reviewed that and 'Graphics Programming with Perl' which
I will do a proper review of when I get the bound copy.

I will also do a review of 'Programming C#' when I finish it.

I would find it useful to have the authors and publishers on the index
page.  Or at least the authors, if there isn't room for both.

Was the last not Jonathan McKeown?

either way looks like you should have 11 books coming back to you soon
if reviews are not carried out ;-)

Some of which haven't been put up on the site yet :)
 
>  Linux Device Drivers - Simon Wistow

The JFDI (and the computer) that I was going to use to play around with
this (I had notions of writing a proper driver for my first year college
project which was a packet radio system - cheap Wireless for all!) have
kind of melted.

I'd still like to play around with this sometime but it's not going to
be any time in the immediate future.

Anyone whos got a better claim is welcome to have it.

I also have half written reviews for 

"Learning WML and WML Script" 
by Martin Frost
"Information Architecture and the WWW" 
by Louis Rosenfeld and Peter Morville
"Don't make me think" 
by Steve Krug
"Bebop along to the boolean boogie" 
by Clive (Max) Maxfield's

Coming soon.

Simon

London.pm have done lots of reviews too: http://london.pm.org/reviews/

Still, we have quite a lot of outstanding reviews, some of which are
really quite old indeed:

 Web Caching - Andy Williams
 Learning Perl - Alex Page
 NFS/NIS - Sue Gray
 Linux Device Drivers - Simon Wistow
 Java Cookbook - Joe McFadden

 Web Design in a Nutshell - Earle Martin
 Perl for Web Site Management - AEF
 Programming Cold Fusion - Simon Wilcox
 Server Load Balancing - Sue Spence

 Running Weblogs With Slash - Dave Cross (?)
 Programming Jabber - Robert Shiels (?)

(?) - I really should have kept notes when I handed those two out.

Apologies again if I've managed to miss your already publised review.

Books that are available for review (or should be soon) are
Bioinformatics, the Flying Dutchman of london.pm book reviews, and Web
Development with Apache and Perl, by Theo Petersen, which Manning are
meant to be sending to me.

After a little discussion on IRC Richard Clamp appears to be vaguely
happy to chase you lot up every now and again about outstanding
reviews, for which I'm very grateful. He might also be better and
trying to get hold of books to review than I was, which wouldn't be
that hard.

I do, though not for London.pm books.

Be assured these are on my high priority list.  Sorry to everyone who's 
waiting for reviews.

Later.
