I just revamped our entire QA section, throwing out our HyperCard books and
purchasing the first ones on Python, Ruby, and JavaScript. Here's a
spreadsheet<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlVSWa90m8umdGg3U0h4bjdMT0ttVUJBU3RCaUc0WGc>with
some of the purchases. I'd be interested if anyone has further
suggestions. I'm neither an expert on CS nor experienced with collection
development so take my selections with a grain of salt.

Best,
