Programming Titles for Review from O'Reilly

Media alert: January 31, 2012

Allow us to offer some fast facts:

  1. PaaS is not only a popular brand of Easter egg dye: it also stands for "Platform as a Service."
  2. "Mongo" derives from the refined reference "humongous," reserved for the overly large.
  3. British slang for an "unpleasant or stupid person," Git is nonetheless a term that Linus Torvalds applies to himself.
  4. Our new programming titles on PaaS, MongoDB & PHP, and Git have info you want, info you need, and info you may review by simply pressing the gold button.
Cheers,
