Category: Books Recommended by Patrick Carpen<\/p>\n

Books Recommended\u00a0<\/em>or\u00a0Recommended Books<\/em>? It’s the same thing, isn’t it? It certainly is.<\/p>\n

But what are books recommended by Patrick Carpen<\/a>? And\u00a0why<\/em> books recommended by Patrick Carpen<\/a>?<\/p>\n

The answer is simple. The world is full of books, and some of them just don’t\u00a0deliver the goods.\u00a0<\/em>With that being said, I make it my personal, God-given duty to separate the wheat from the chaff. And no! I’m not a farmer.<\/p>\n

Some books are boring, some books are sad; some books make you fall asleep and some keep you awake all night. There are books to entertain you and books to teach, and books which both entertain and teach.<\/p>\n

But which books should you read, and when? There are some books which attempt to teach a subject but falls off the target. Some books miss the point after the first few chapters, while others get you staring into space after just a few pages.<\/p>\n

I read a book on JavaScript web programming language some years back that left me in the middle of the wilderness. I didn’t know where to put the next piece of code. Skipping crucial pieces of information in technical books is a good way to lose your reader before<\/em> they breathe the first sigh of satisfaction.<\/p>\n

Coming to this point, I must mention “WordPress: The Missing Manual”. This is simply an amazing book and is largely responsible for helping me to build the very website you are reading now.<\/p>\n

The book\u00a0carefully considers every step and every level of technical knowledge. If you ever need to learn how to build a website using WordPress, I strongly recommend this book.<\/p>\n

I will be writing more about\u00a0WordPress: The Missing Manual\u00a0<\/i>as well as other great books, both in the entertaining and technical categories, here on my website.<\/p>\n

Keep reading and have fun!<\/p>\n
