Cool, new books!
Today I ordered some new books at Amazon or my new courses. I always love to buy books, for books are nice to have. Especially when they are interesting like these:
- Security in Computing by Charles R. Pfleeger and Shari Lawrence Pfleeger.
- Exploiting Software by Greg Hoglund and Gary McGraw.
- Object-Oriented Software Construction by Bertrand Meyer.
I’m really looking forward to receiving them.
During our study trip to San Francisco we attended a guest lecture at Stanford University by Gary McGraw where he talked about the topic of his book: Exploting Software.
It was pretty interesting, plus he is a energetic speaker :-)
A couple of my fellow students had read the book before the trip, and had brought it for Gary to sign. Very nice :-)
Btw. he speaks Danish - or a little at least. He knows the infamous Danish sentence: “Rødgrød med fløde”.
Wow, cool! While we’re name-dropping, then let me just say that I’m having lectures with Bertrand Meyer who wrote the book on Object-Oriented Software Construction. It was only after I looked at the description of the book on Amazon that I discovered that he Eiffel programming language. I don’t know the language (yet) but it’s still pretty cool :-)
