ACM PD

I recently discovered that the professional development center at ACM contains a Safari library. I realize that I should have known this. Another guy at work pointed it out. Its like my bookshelf now has 20 slots. 10 for normal use and then the ACM one that has 10 more and they are greatest hits. I say this because the ACM Safari is limited to something like 500 of the 1000s of books available at the full Safari. The books are selected by ACM members as the best books in the field I think. The biggest downside is that you can't download PDFs to read offline. But since its included as part of an ACM membership, I can't complain.
