Recommended Reading
Purpose: These are not strong endorsements. I am saying that I find these books useful to me. To the question, "What book should I buy?" Dr. Harris is known for responding, "Go to a good (physical) bookstore. Plan to spend an hour or more browsing. If you find a book that doesn't make you puke, buy it." Different books speak to different people with different needs. If you find a book you wish you had read yesterday because it answers the questions with which you are struggling, it is a good choice. If you find a book that you could have written better or one that is over your head, simply put it back on the shelf.

Quality Assurance and TestingCem Kaner, Jack Falk, and Hung Quoc Nguyen, Testing Computer Software, Second edition, Wiley, New York, 1999. Textbook for the class.

Weinman, The CGI Book: The Complete World Wide Web Programming Reference, New Riders, Indianapolis, IN, 1996. In my view, the claim of the title was an exaggeration when the book was published, but I do find some useful information.
