I'm not much of a traditional reader. Ever since I was jaded from using my actual imagination by my father, I had completely lost interest in fictional writing, and I never had an interest in history. My primary reading interests now focus only on technology, programming, and things related therein. So, although my reading habits may be boring, I'm still excited about my recent purchases.
I've been needing to use Subversion for awhile now, and although I have it set up and installed, running, and have used it a few times, I really don't know the actual power and capabilities to truly use it, so...now hopefully I will with the following book.
...and in the honor of trying to keep up with the current trends, I also purchased a book to show how to use (and the reasons for using) Git:
...currently on pre-order, the book is released at the end of the month. Until Git is easily installable on Windows without a lot of pre-requirements, I don't see this being very helpful to me though, but it's always important to at least have a working knowledge.
Now, as a somewhat interesting book that I've felt I would be able to use well in my market, I came across (quite by accident) a little treasure entitled "Selling to the VP of 'No'".
Here's the book's description:
Awesome.

Here's the book's description:
He might be your sales prospect, your boss, an investor, or the chairman of the board. He is also one tough dude. He has to be. Every hour of every day, someone tries to sell him something. He has one way to deal with them: Say "NO." It’s brutally simple, but it works, because most people are simply a waste of his time. Selling Stars know how to break through that tough exterior and get the VP of NO to listen to their story. In this short, visual book, you will learn the secrets of the Selling Stars: how to turn the VP of NO into the VP of GO!
Awesome.
