I'm born in 1977, i had never thought david born so early.
by the way ,you read so many books this year. i can show you a list of
mine this year ,but i'm not sure which one is my faverate.
because i live in china, most of book i read is written in chinese, i
must say it's hard to find a good book about idl. i can buy two books
about idl in market.
one is "idl可视化工具入门与提高", can you read the name?:>
the other is “idl可视化分析与应用”
i must say these books are poorly helpful, expecially the last one ,
but i can't find other book in china.
other books i read recently are something about Visual base
2005(because i was ask to develop a MIS), and some linux books.
owo, i also read some novels or biographies , like zhuangzi, a
famous ideologist in ancient times.
