the truth is I rarely read books, I mainly look up documents on the internet

True! In my case, I've read a couple of books many years ago, but all of them are already obsolete. That's the problem with many books about software development, many of the have an expire date.

High Performance Browser Networking was very influential for me.

It's a few years old, but the fundamentals are still true as ever.

Also Thomas about this quickie post: Did you edit these tags in yourself? As this is experimental we're trying to see about auto-tagging (which is not live yet) in order to simplify posting. Just wondering if you went in and self-tagged here?

I edited the quickie post to adding some tags

Ilya Grigorik was doing a book signing at an O'Reilly conference I attended, so I had the autographed book β€” then lost it on a plane.

Getting this book autographed is maybe the nerdiest thing I've ever done.
