A new year has started, so I wanted to look back on the books I read in 2011 (the idea actually came from this post by Tim Kadlec). Here is an almost complete list of the books somewhat related to web development or entrepreneurship. I’ve left out stuff I read for fun (like the Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy) as well as the ones I did not enjoy. These are the good books!
