It's Not A Real Programming Language Until...

... these books have been published:

(When I told Dale about the JavaFX Script announced at JavaOne 2007, Dale said: "It's not a real programming language until four books have been published." So Dale started a poll on the breakroom whiteboard. Here's the accumulated list of must-have books contributted by the combined mind power of everyone.)

Can anyone help me with my * homework?

Re: It's Not A Real Programming Language Until...

Ricky's got a good point. It's not just books. How can you ask for homework help until there's comp.lang.* (Which leads to the next solication: What is the canonical industry detritus of a real programming language? -- Back to the whiteboard...)

Re: It's Not A Real Programming Language Until...

That's a vintage Dale comment... The list renews my faith in humanity. " Beyond * " is the best. LOL. How about: " Migrate Your Legacy * Apps "
