I’d like to buy some beginner- and intermediate-level SAP books and advanced books about working with Excel & SAP integrated. If anyone knows a good source about that style of information, please let me know.

One of the users in turk-php.com forum sent me a personal message about a topic. He gave me a web address where I can find e-books (as PDF). I looked at it and the site has a very good, big book database. The site is called freebookspot.com and after searching with the keyword “php” it returned 4 pages of search results with the most popular php reference book on the market!

Take a look at it, I’m sure you will find what you seek.

I didn’t have the time to write some last week. Thus, I woke up today early (but still late compared to my working days :)) and started my iTunes, connected to a 80’s radio and try now to write these.

faro laser trackerThis week, I had a intensive training for a new measurement software. 3 days I was so full of information but in the end I think I do that fucking job good :)

I am using FARO measurement devices. I really like it working with them and also they call I am a master of it :) Yeah, I rule them real good!

I am still reading Patricia Cornwell’s book and will finish it today or maybe tomorrow. It is really a rocking thriller, so I really recommend it without reading book’s final parts.  iskele retaurant 2

Yesterday I was in Beylerbeyi with my friends for dinner. The Bosphorus scene and seeing old friends (who I couldn’t see long time ago) was quite a good reason to take the week’s tiredness out.

After finishing to read the first book of this author, I immediately bought another one. It’s called The Last Precinct (Turkish translation of the book is called as Son Durak).

Patricia Cornwell - The Last PrecinctThe book is about a chief medical examiner, which is attacked by a criminal and finds herself in a corrupt police investigation and tries to clear her name as she also tries to solve the mysery behind this murderer.

I have read 60 pages etc. but it’s quite a rocking thriller! - Actually I liked this author and have an interest to continue reading her books.

Yesterday I started to read a new book “Benim Adım Kırmızı” from Orhan Pamuk and maybe some of you have already read it. Actually I did not have a determination to read it but I have to because of my school project. It is a postmodern novel and there are many narrator and many different view points in book and it is not very easy to read it. I will share my ideas about the book when I finish to read it.

patricia cornwell - at risk cover pageA month ago I was surfing on amazon.com for some book to read and I decided to add this book at my basket but I didn’t buy it. Today when I was at the bookstore with my girlfriend, I saw that its Turkish version is out, so I bought it. Actually my girlfriend bought it for me as a present. So, I’m happy :) Woohoo!

By the way, even I am a big fan of Galatasaray, kudos for our rivals Fenerbahce because of their win of Turkish Championship.

I have started to read this book a month ago but I had to stop reading it somehow. Today I decided to re-start to read it. After finishing I will write my review about it here, don’t worry! :)

I just wanted to tell you abot a book I’ve read recently. It’s a book of Graham Greene . You probably know the author from Stamboul Train which is also filmed as Orient Express.

It’s a very short novel but seemed to me that it explains very much about life… How gambling turn a normal man to a freak, how a man can destroy all the good relationships for money and wealth combined with rage.

That’s enough with the description. Just go, buy and read it.

I highly recommend it.
