Open source provides the competitive advantage in the Internet Age. According to the August Forrester Report, 56 percent of IT managers interviewed at Global 2,500 companies are already using some type of open source software in their infrastructure and another 6 percent will install it in the next two years. This revolutionary model for collaborative software development is being embraced and studied by many of the biggest players in the high-tech industry, from Sun Microsystems to IBM to Intel.The Cathedral & the Bazaar is a must for anyone who cares about the future of the computer industry or the dynamics of the information economy. Already, billions of dollars have been made and lost based on the ideas in this book. Its conclusions will be studied, debated, and implemented for years to come. According to Bob Young, "This is Eric Raymond's great contribution to the success of the open source revolution, to the adoption of Linux-based operating systems, and to the success of open source users and the companies that supply them."The interest in open source software development has grown enormously in the past year. This revised and expanded paperback edition includes new material on open source developments in 1999 and 2000. Raymond's clear and effective writing style accurately describing the benefits of open source software has been key to its success. With major vendors creating acceptance for open source within companies, independent vendors will become the open source story in 2001.

Wonderful tips for young adults beginning their journey into adulthood!
Format: Kindle
If only we were all taught these basic skills before we leave home. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. This is where a book like Life Skills comes in as an excellent teacher of learning those necessary skills! Great book, easy to understand, full of great advice.

Too simple
Format: Kindle
Some of the information is inaccurate or out of date such as the food pyramid. Much of should have been learned long before they are ready to leave home. But some of it such as the simple recipes and the cleaning solutions are useful. I wish the author had spent a little time to address teens with disabilities and other special circumstances. All in all a decent book but the author could have done so much more.

Clyburn captures the past to warn us about the present and future.
Format: Hardcover
I enjoy this book. The history of white Conservatives first taking the black vote away by domestic terrorism and violence and then changing the rules to make getting the vote back nearly impossible explains the 70 year gap between the first eight and the ninth (Clyburn). He mixes the past record of lying and dirty tricks of Conservatives with current events that attempt to bring about the same result. Thanks for all of your work in bringing this great history. It should admonish all of us to work to make sure we don't fall victim to the lying and dirty tricks of the Conservatives of the present.
