Ramblings of a .NET developer

Need book suggestions!

With Christmas around the corner, my family has been pestering me with the question, “What do you want for Christmas?”  For a while, I've been wanting to build up my technical book shelf, since it is kind of small.  I'm mainly looking for books into networking and databasing (or XML, basically application data storage).  I'm also interested in extreme programming.  Heard a little bit about it, but don't know too much, so I figure I could read a book on it learn more.

I've already told her I wanted a copy of Professional .NET Network Programming and XML in a Nutshell (I like the 'Nutshell' series).  Anybody have any other good suggestions so everyone stops bothering me?

In the world of extreme programming, pretty much anything by Kent Beck and Martin Fowler should fit into your library. My favorite is still Refactoring by Fowler: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201485672/theclaussens-20.

Enjoy yourself!

Ken,

I was one of the co-authors of the "Professional .NET Network Programming" book. Let me know how do you like it. My suggestion would be again to go for "Refactoring" book.
