Recently I’ve started to read one interesting book: “Spidering hacks” by Kevin Hemenway and Tara Calishain. I think this book is a MUST READ for every spider developer.

All examples in this book are written in Perl. But I’ve just started to learn Perl and I look for the description of one or another Perl function in manual very often. It’s very comfortable to use search engine plugins in Firefox for these purposes.

Install PHP manual search engine plugin (Firefox2+, IE7)

Install CPAN search engine plugin (Firefox2+, IE7)

The books I recommend:
