Pleasantly surprised to find that the amazon kindle version of "Rethinking the Internet of Things" is free.

Maybe the book,
Single Page Web Applications: JavaScript End-to-End, is actually an anti-pattern book, because it considers every problem as it would be solved via JavaScript. But is JavaScript always the right solution to every problem? Probably not. Does the book warn its readers, "Dear reader, you can use JavaScript for every part of you SPA, and we will show you how, but it is an ill-advised methodology for numerous reasons." Probably not. :D
The Stroustrup book is definitely a Book of the Year, but a book like (JavaScript End-to-End) will probably be forgotten in a year.
