O'Reilly: In A Nutshell

O'Reilly's "In a Nutshell" books are topical quick-reference guides that document every nook and cranny of a topic or technology area. They provide quick, authoritative solutions to daily challenges. According to Tim O'Reilly, "These books aren't tutorials. They take a topic and drill down, expand, and, we hope, delight the reader by providing useful information the reader didn't even expect to find. This 'leap of usefulness' is crucial to an In a Nutshell book." Designed to be daily companions, these books belong next to your keyboard, at the ready when you need a quick answer.
