As follow up to my Carson Workshops post, I just noticed that Cal Henderson has a book out called Building Scalable Web Sites, and it’s on Safari. Added.
Speaking of Safari, I like the new look, but I really miss the bookshelf management features. In the old version, if you tried to add a book but your bookshelf was full, there was a workflow that would let you pick a book to remove and then add the new book in a single sequence. Now I need to go remove the old book, find the new one again, and add it, but hey, there’s lots of plugs for “upgrade your account” so you can get more slots in your bookshelf. I’m sure it’ll help with their upsell conversions, but it still kinda stinks…
Just so I can end this post on a high note, I absolutely love the fact that I can type “Building Scalable Web Sites” into the address bar of FireFox and I get the O’Reilly page for the book. Sure, it doesn’t work for everything (though “miserable failure” becomes funny all over again when it’s through the address bar), but it saves me a step for well known stuff.
