@abrakadabra • May 13, 2011

I have read this book 'The white tiger' long back and I am sorry to report that I found the book really pathetic. How could he write so many bad things about our nation. I guess he won some prize for this book too and people have found the content of the book amusing. I found it very disappointing.

JavaScript Patterns, by Stoyan Stefanov... 😀 Awesome book...

What's the best approach for developing an application with JavaScript? This book helps you answer that question with numerous JavaScript coding patterns and best practices. If you're an experienced developer looking to solve problems related to objects, functions, inheritance, and other language-specific categories, the abstractions and code templates in this guide are ideal -- whether you're writing a client-side, server-side, or desktop application with JavaScript. Author Stoyan Stefanov includes several examples for each pattern as well as practical advice for implementing them.

@ AKD: What is pottermore? A book or directly a movie?

@abrakadabra • Jul 2, 2011

Your question is spamming this thread.
J.K. Rowling unveiled the full extent of her newest project in a press announcement, revealing Pottermore as free website that will feature "extensive new material about the characters, places and objects in the much-loved stories," all written by Rowling. It sounds like the vast majority, if not all of this material, is intended to supplement the "Potter" stories as they already exist, rather than create brand new stories all unto themselves. In other words, this appears to be Rowling's long awaited "Potter" encyclopedia, but in an online and interactive form.

Dear Steven Hawkin, if there was a God of Science in this Millenia, it is certainly you. One of the greater agony in my life would remain to be the fact that "I might never meet you and touch your feet!" If ever God wants to give me a gift, be it my wish to see you Sir.

If anybody has not read this book, he probably would never know how interesting is mathematics. I owe you big time sir Hawkins.

I'm currently reading two books simultaneously..

One is "ABC murders" by Agatha Christie. It's a detective story with a serial killer killing victims whose names are in alphabetical order.
And it has the indomitable Hercule Poirot. It's going good.. 😀

The other is 'Winning", a book on management and business by Jack Welch, the former CEO of General Electric.

I must say, reading a crime thriller and a business management book simultaneously is awesome!! Do try it 😀
