Thread: Sort book list by publication date
A lot of people at LinuxTag asked about books, so we pulled up the nice book list on the web site. But that list has a nonobvious order, which makes it difficult to determine which books are still current. I suggest that you sort the book list by publication date (descending) and list the publication month and year in every entry (should be readily available at Amazon or whereever). That would be splendid. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/

Seems reasonable, I've been wondering about tha tordering too :-) Added publishing date to all books, and list is resorted. Just hang on for the mirrors to update... On a related note, that list could probalby do with some additions. For example, there has to be *some* good pgsql books published after 2003, right? //Magnus

I was getting to that. :) I'm aware of the following two new books on the German market: http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/3826614933/qid=1119990657/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_11_1/302-7029099-1360003 http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/3936546223/qid=1119990657/sr=2-3/ref=sr_2_11_3/302-7029099-1360003 Btw., you could also link the German titles to http://www.bookzilla.de, which donates a portion of all proceeds to the FSF Europe. Might be nicer than sponsoring Amazon. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/
