Another year has gone by. Merry X-mas and Happy New Year everyone. It is time to update my book recommendation blog.

This year's list will have a few new book topics added to list. I have ventured in iOS, Java, Android and Windows Store development, so along with all the usual Microsoft topics you will find recommendations for those topics as well.

There have been a ton of books come out this year both good and bad. Be sure to check out the Shiny Turds book section which lists books that do not Cut the Mustard *-Do not Buy-* section. It is the last in the list.

These are all books I have read or have on pre-order (based on previous editions) and plan to use when they are released in the very near future.  I have reviewed a lot of them here on this blog and on Amazon.
