The SRE workbook doesn't sound like a book focused on teaching (it sounds like a book on application for after you've been taught).

But no I haven't read that or the "Building Reliable..." book.

I'll look into the Building book. In general though all these Google books are really fantastic for anyone who has been a developer for a while and at any company size. I often feel like the chapters just couldn't explain the problem better.

My biggest problem is that the books kinda drone on and cover so much at once. I think they could have been better edited/cut down to make getting through them easier.

Thanks for your impressions; I will definitely have a look at "How Google runs..." first.
