What about a HF Algorithms?

or HF Collective Intelligence? (which would really be HF AI, but applied to web2.0 sites and apis; but this could introduce cool algorithms as well).

I'd definitely buy a HF functional programming book. (lisp, xquery, linq, scheme, xslt - don't call it a comeback, it's been here for years.)

I was thinking, maybe not for a book, but on the site - maybe a "Head First Gumbo" section, where we introduce mixing the technologies presented in the different books?

Example: Java with embedded SQL populating objects to display in a web page with javascript , all modeled in the MVC design pattern, or using the FactoryPattern for the database connection, etc. ; ok, we'd obviously do this over a series of posts, but I think it would be useful to introduce how to blend the technologies from the different books together succesfully.

Right now I'm eagerly awaiting HF Stats.

We would like to see & read HeadFirst ObjectiveC and Cocoa programming! I think time has come for some book(s) about Mac development !

Greets

Hear hear! Especially as judging from the screenshots most of the HF books I've read seem to all have been written by mac users.

Am desparate to learn Obj C & Cocoa and an HF book is probably the only way I'd actually understand it!

How about HeadFirst ObjectiveC and Cocoa programming? Written from the perspective of someone who has little or no programming experience. I really want to write programs for the iPhone, and a background in ObjectiveC and Cocoa programming is essential. I'm finding that all the books out there for Objective C expect someone to have a background with some programming, especially object oriented.

A C++ book from Head First will definitely rock the tops, because the basics are the most important thing in everything, and this is what a Head First does: provides the best way of making the reader learn and understand the basics of its topic.

It seems there are quite a number of folks that would like to see a HF Web Services book - me too. Can we add it to the survey here and get a head-(first)-count of those interested?

I want to first say what an awesome job you all do with these books! After 3 years of trying to learn PHP and having every book/guide I read just leave me confused, I bought Headfirst PHP & MySQL as a final attempt to learn it and I finally understand it and love learning more every day! Thank you for this!

The book topic I would love to see is OOP PHP. I'm encountering a lot of scripts now adays written in OOP format and with a Head First book, I'd have it down in no time.

So if you all print one off, let me know and I'll be buying it.

Thanks again!

I'd like to see a Head First Python. I've tried to learn the language in fits and starts, but a HF-style progression through some well-defined exercises would be very welcome.

Android, android, androiiiiid!!!

Why? Simply because, even if it is based on java, Androd development has many concepts that only Head First can explain crearly and make them stay in my damn head!!!

Plus, Android is the iPhone of the future and I think a lot of people would love to know how to develop applications on it...an instant success for Head First!

Thank you!
