For networking I would suggest Pocket Guide to TCP/IP Sockets (C Version)

Though not programming, one of my favorite computer books is Steal this computer book. It's got some fun stories to tell.

By the way, that's quite a list. Try to be more specific, as there is a lot out there.

Yeah im sorry about the list.. i wasnt quite sure on it. But at the end of the day, if people tell me, i can always go and get them mabye like in a few months time or what not.

But thanks for the post.

Im mainly looking into game programming, and then a book on server.client so i can make a mmo. which come to think about it.. if there are any book on creating MMO's then thats my top priority. thanks.

The pickaxe book for Ruby (also called Programming Ruby)! As far as game programming, you would probably have to choose a particular graphics toolkit and use that if you want to have some kind of graphics. After you've chosen one, then you can find a book (or online resource) for it.

Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++

"Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture" by Fowler is probably my favorite programming book.

Thank you everyone for all the infomation you have given me.

I will be looking at these books, and will tell you if they have helped me.

Also have a look at Ruby by Example from No Starch Press for a hands on approach to Ruby programming. Its an immensely useful book.
