Books covered on the blog, mostly WordPress For Dummies and tech titles.
SingTel has launched Singapore's first e-book service, skoob, offering works by Singaporean writers, study guides, and school textbooks for local students. At launch it holds 39,000 local and international bestsellers for smartphones, tablets, and PCs, with payment in Singapore Dollars.
Packt Publishing sent me a complimentary copy of the Ext JS 3.0 Cookbook, which I'll review after my holidays. While the web has long been dominated by jQuery, scriptaculous and MooTools, Ext JS is another rich-interface JavaScript library.
I ordered WordPress For Dummies, 2nd Edition by Lisa from Amazon on 5th April 2009. Amazon estimated delivery by 12th May, but they vastly overestimated, as it landed in my letterbox today, 16th April, far ahead of schedule.
Amazon's estimated shipping date proved quite accurate: the site said it would arrive on 18th December 2007, and it really did, in fact early that morning around 10am. I've already read through the entire WordPress For Dummies.
Lidija from BlogWell interviewed Lisa Sabin-Wilson, author of WordPress For Dummies, and Lisa kindly mentioned me. As she put it, Lester Chan is a student who uses his WordPress plugins to get through school. Thank you, Lisa!
