I think the LGPL'ing of Qt 4.5 is going to kill Mono first, then GTK+, but not Java. As others have mentioned, Java is very popular on the server side of web development, and that won't be going away anythime soon. For desktop application development in Linux, Qt will become king. I have no problem with that.

Here's one that covers ADO.NET and parts of ASP.NET:

Is that good enough for you? Because there are more. Lots more. Search the US Patent Office site for them.

Basically, Microsoft could enforce its patents to make Mono drop support for ADO.NET, ASP.NET and WinForms. Sure, they aren't part of the CLR, but Mono would be useless without them (especially in the eyes of Windows developers who the Mono team thought would flock to Linux if it had .NET support). It would basically kill Mono (although it seems pretty much dead now anyhow).

I have to admit I've never cared for the Griffiths E&M book. His writing style put me off, plus there's a bit too much hand-waving. At that level of E&M (beginning/intermediate) I prefer Purcell's "Electricity & Magnetism" or "Foundations of Electromagnetic Theory" by Reitz, Milford & Christy. The math and the explanations are better in those books than in Griffiths', in my opinion, and both are better preparation for Jackson's more comprehensive book.

Other CS books I like:

• The Design and Analysis of Computer Algorithms, by Aho, Hopcroft & Ullman
• Elements of the Theory of Computation, by Lewis & Papadimitriou
• Computability, Complexity, and Languages, by Davis & Weyuker
• Introduction to Automata Theory, Languages, and Computation, by Hopcroft & Ullman
• The UNIX Programming Environment, by Kernighan & Pike
• The AWK Programming Language, by Aho, Kernighan & Weinberger
• Combinatorics for Computer Science, by Williamson

For math, my favorites are:

• Introduction to Geometry (2nd ed.), by Coxeter
• Div, Grad, Curl, and All That, by Schey
• A Course of Pure Mathematics, by Hardy
• Introduction to Probability Theory, by Hoel, Port & Stone
• Differential and Integral Calculus, Vols. 1&2, by Courant
  
• A First Course in Numerical Analysis, by Ralston & Rabinowitz

For physics, my favorites are:

• Mechanics (3rd ed.), by Landau & Lifshitz
• Mathematical Methods of Classical Mechanics, by Arnold
• Spacetime Physics, by Taylor & Wheeler
• Gravitation, by Misner, Thorne & Wheeler
• Classical Electrodynamics (2nd ed.), by Jackson
• Lectures on Quantum Mechanics, by Baym

Many people blame Bourbaki for the horrendous "new math" which infected mathematics teaching in the 1960's. And there is some validity to that accusation. A scathing indictment of Bourbaki was given by the renowned mathematician V.I. Arnold, author of famous books on classical mechanics and differential equations. Arnold tears apart the dry, lifeless and phony "rigor" and "purity" of Bourbaki and others who divorce mathematics from reality, which he describes as "sectarianism and isolationism which destroy the image of mathematics as a useful human activity in the eyes of all sensible people." Here's a link to his full comments:

As a mathematician, I have to agree with the critics of Bourbaki. It put mathematics on the wrong path, in my opinion, and much of that influence continues on today. Mathematicians would do well to heed Arnold's advice on the direction mathematics needs to take. "Pure mathematicians" and other people who still think that Bourbaki was "doing mathematics the right way" are simply misguided.
