Technical Audio Books - Where Are The Good Ones?

Posted by Cliff on from the stuff-to-listen-to dept.

Gverig asks: "Are any good audio (CD) books for developers, engineers or just geeks. These can be lectures on programming concepts, introductions to systems, best practices, ethics, or even funny stories ala Dilbert. What audio books do you have that help you sharpen your technical skills and improve yourself as a professional?"

  1. Not as effective... by palndrumm · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Audio books aren't anywhere near as effective for technical books as for other genres. The main trouble with converting technical books to audio is that they often use diagrams and tables to explain and illustrate things, which is kinda hard to do with an audio book.
