Coding Techniques for Microsoft Visual Basic .NET

36 reviews
John Connell

Microsoft Press, 2001

Solid hands on advice and overview
This is not a book for a novice programmer. It is geared towards the meeting the needs of professional system programmers. You won't find anything here on MDI, GDI+ or a host of other VB features. For example, the steps behind attaching buttons to code could have been illustrated much more explicitly. So if you are still coming to terms with the core of VB, this book could produce a rather ...

Soul of the Sword : An Illustrated History of Weaponry and Warfare from Prehistory to the Present

7 reviews
Robert O'Connell, John Batchelor, 2002

The Anthroplogy of Weaponry
"Soul of the Sword" is a highly readable history about the development and use of weaponry from prehistory to modern times. But O'Connell's book is less about the weapons themselves than it is about how, why and when human beings develop and use those weapons. The book is filled with interesting little insights and "aha!" moments that make it a pleasure to read. For example, historians are ...

Game and Play Leader's Handbook: Facilitating Fun and Positive Interaction

Bill Miichaelis, John M. O'Connell

Venture Pub, 2000

Leading Games and Everything
Bill and John are personal friends of mine. I've known them since the 70s when John and Burton and I were co-leading the New Games Foundation. Bill has been teaching recreation at San Francisco State and stayed with it despite lack of funding and recognition for-just-about-ever. So anything I have to say about this book is probably suspect. On the other hand, I REALLY like this book. In my 30 ...

The Properties of Gases and Liquids

7 reviews, ...

McGraw-Hill Professional, 2000

Comprehensive, easy to understand
I was a bit unconfortable when I bought this book since I was suspicious that this one was one of those unreadable thermodynamic books. Fortunately I was wrong. This book provides you with a complete treatment of the properties of gases and liquids in a plain language stressing the understanding of the basic laws governing the behavior of liquids and gases instead of the mathematic that goes with ...

Beginning Visual Basic 6 Database Programming

Wrox Press, 1998

Hurray for John Connell
Hurray for John Connell he speaks to us beginners on our level. It was also very encouraging when he mentioned that he did not get it the first time, he had a light bulb moment. I have never heard a guru admit that before they usually give the impression that it came very easy for them. The exercises seemed to encompass a lot of VB functions, uses, and neat tricks. The explanations are complete, ...

Halos of Fire: Enjoying a Life Filled with the Power of the Holy Spirit

John Connell

Peak Writing, 2005

A Great Christian Communicator
In all the books I've read in this genre, it's the voices as well as the messages that have stood out and continue to draw me back: Max Lucado's lyrical spirituality; Philip Yancy's emotional intellectualism; Jennifer Sands' open heart; Rick Warren's simple wisdom. I've have a new voice for the list: John Connell's passionate call to our hearts and the divinity within us. John Connell's voice ...

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: An A+ Audio Study Guide (A+ Audio)

1 review
Mark Twain

Hachette Audio, 2006

This whole series among best in Audio recordings
Wonderful, wonderful. I can't rate the quality of this recording from an educational angle, but for mere entertainment it cannot be beat. I mean, an English teacher might say it's lacking. But this series of audio study guides is one of the best. For anybody that likes books and love the classics, please buy these audio guides. I started off with one that I purchased years ago at a book store, ...

From the dust cover of this beautiful book to the last pages, readers are treated to beautiful photography, copies of lovely paintings, and a narrative about the history of this unique place on the CA coast. The book is divided into time frames starting in 1917 and continuing to 2001. Each segment gives the reader a glimpse into the recent past, of simplier times and the quest for life on the ...

Interactive Hip Therapy Edition (CD-ROM for Windows and Macintosh)

5 reviews
Muirhead-Allwoo, Vishy Mahadevan, ...

Routledge, 2001

A superb guidebook. Expensive BUT it works
I am 40 and suffer from ankylosing sponditis (a form of rheumatoid arthritis) and before I found Dr Murray my back pain was intolerable to the degree I seriously wondered if I would ever have a pain free life again. Dark thoughts entered my head and I grew despondent. Then I found this book in a local bookstore and said, Why not, what do I have to lose? Well pain was the biggest thing :-). ...

Homing Instinct: Using Your Lifestyle to Design & Build Your Home

8 reviews
John Connell

McGraw-Hill Professional, 1998

Just One Builder's Opinion
As a residential designer and builder I read a lot of how-to books and this is the first and only one of its kind - informative as well as entertaining. I picked it up after dinner one evening and when I next looked up it was four in the morning! Homing Instinct seems to have it all - stick building, timber framing, log homes, straw bales....even geodesic domes. It covers the foundation ...

Urbanization of the Pacific (Routledge Pacific Rim Geographies)

1 review
John Connell

Routledge, 2001

depressing analysis
The Pacific islands are characterised by relatively small populations, widely dispersed. And with large differences in income and skills. Yet many are urbanising. Driven in part by the diffusion of technology throughout the world. And also by expanding populations. The book is an attempt to give a systematic overview, across a vast area, of these changes. Of the areas studied, Papua New ...

Mastering Your Organization's Processes: A Plain Guide to BPM

2 reviews
John O'Connell, Jon Pyke, ...

Cambridge University Press, 2006

At Last a Simple to Read Comprehensive Book on Process
This is the book that most people thought would never be written. So many people have been urging Jon Pyke for so many years to get down on paper what he really thinks. Of all the people in the process space, Jon is probably the most widely misquoted! It has been all too easy for people to say "Well, what Jon actually meant was!" and then turn it to suit their own purpose, now we can all get to ...

Remedies in a Nutshell (Nutshell Series)

1 review
John F. O'Connell

West Publishing Company, 1984

Convoluted thinking
The author writes as if he copied from his notes from an equally muddled headed law professor. For example, in discussing restitution, he says it was ". . .(a)vailable in the early history of equity and still effective today. . .(i)t was also available at law unless the legal title had passed to the defendant and it made no difference if the passage of the legal title was due to fraud, undue ...

Developing Microsoft .NET Controls with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET (Pro Developer)

16 reviews
John Connell

Microsoft Press, 2003

Learn nooks and crannys of the .Net Framework
If you think you know the framework, I suggest you take a look at Mr. Connell's book. He covers many undercovered areas in great detail. Isolated storage and encryption come to mind. In short, if you are looking for new material, I highly recommend this book. Its on a par with Mr. Connell's .Net Coding Techniques.

Commercial Observation Satellites: At the Leading Edge of Global Transparency

2 reviews
John Baker, Kevin M. O'Connell, ...

RAND Corporation, 2001

Fantastic High-Quality Book on Policies and Capabilities
This may well be the best book RAND has ever produced--certainly the best I have ever seen or reviewed. An edited work, it brings together thirty-one authorities and integrates very high-quality editing, photography, and references. It even has an index. As one who regards the collection of imagery as a supporting event, in support of the creation of geospatially-based all-source databases and ...
