Object Database/ UML / OOP Book Sale!


Attention programmers, architects, managers!


I bought too many books for my monthly book budget at the OOPSLA
conference. At worse, I guess I could keep these, but I figured that
people in the company could use some of these books on object
oriented application development. Most are on object / relational
databases, design of applications with UML (Unified Modeling
Language), smalltalk, and other misc topics. I have the matching
receipts for these books, and the company has not paid for any of
these yet. 


If you can't think of a book to get for your monthly allowance, 
consider these books. I'll use my allowance on whatever is left.
Most are still new, some have passages relevant to Raima products
highlighted.


Most of these have a show discount, and the selection is beyond what
the typical bookstore around here carries.
