What's notably missing from the bestseller lists: books on
programming languages (besides Javascript). The top
programming language books in last week's bookscan report were
Learning Python, followed closely by the just-released Head
First C#. Books on Java, Perl, PHP, and yes, even Ruby, are
well down the list. Books on Linux, MySQL, and security
ditto. In the professional computer area, networking, software
engineering, and database books that weren't specific to any
particular database product were the overall winners
