Recently I read “Dart in Action” by Chris Buckett. I know Chris from the early days of the Dart language. We both joined the community almost instantly. At the day of Darts arrival, he founded Dartwatch.com and blogs on all aspects of the language. Chris is definitely one of these guys who knows what he writes. [...]
Recently I got the book “Dart: Up and Running” written by Kathy Walrath and Seth Ladd. Both authors are well-known in the Dart community. Kathy is responsible for so much great docs on dartlang.org and Seth was the Dart-Ambassador since the language first faced the world (or even earlier, who knows). Definitely you want to meet [...]

Apache Geronimo book. A real quick reference, sometimes to quick
Apache Geronimo Book on Packt Publishing.
Recently I read a lot of books about mixing/mastering etc.. I started this with reading one book of the wellknown series of Paul White – Basic MIDI. This book is well-written and has a logical structure. It’s meant for beginners in MIDI and I guess, this is true. Basic MIDI was not in-depth enough for [...]
