Programming Erlang: Software for a Concurrent World

23 reviews
Joe Armstrong

Pragmatic Bookshelf, 2007

Very easy to digest
I made an attempt at working through this book 6 months ago and didn't feel quite comfortable so I dropped it and instead pursued Programming in Haskell. Yesterday I decided to get back into Erlang and found it a complete breeze, powering through the entire book in a few hours. A lot of things seem to become really easy after working with Haskell, not to say that programming in Haskell is ...

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services 2005

Brian Larson

McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2005

A great way to learn the basics
I just worked my way cover-to-cover and did every exercise. Sure, there are some errors in the book and sometimes it is not as clear as I would like and it does help to be a DBA but I think the book is rather above average in its accuracy. The book is not useful as a reference. But I highly recommend it as a great start. If you are not going to download the problems and do the exercises, then ...

MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-620): Configuring Windows Vista(TM) Client (Self Paced Training Kit ...

I. McLean, Orin Thomas

Microsoft Press, 2007

Great Prep Material!
If you read the chapters, perform the practice labs, and work out the answers to the review questions (CD is helpful for this); you'll pass, no troubles. All 70-620 objectives are covered as thoroughly as needed. I even purchased access to sample test questions from MeasureUp, but found the samples from this book to be significantly more relevent to the actual exam.

SharePoint 2007 User's Guide: Learning Microsoft's Collaboration and Productivity Platform

15 reviews
Seth Bates, Tony Smith

Apress, 2007

Excellent book for various skill-level users.
This book is easy to use both as a learning tool and a reference tool. The many examples provided give good background on the context of the desired function, and explicit, step-by-step instructions. The book has lots of "usage" suggestions.

Professional SharePoint 2007 Development (Programmer to Programmer)

Wrox, 2007

A must have if you are serious about MOSS 2007 Development
I always find WROX books are the best value for money. This book is no exception. The details this book provides is atypical and that is what I find very useful. Devil is in the details and we need that for programming. If you are interested in Solutions Development on SharePoint Platform, this book is a very good companion.

quality Patterson
This book has the positive attributes that made me a fan of Patterson. The character were real and the setting seeming genuine. The ending was worthy. I recommend this read.

Alan Parisse, David Richman

Kaplan Business, 2006

Very informative
This book has been a great reference for myself, and reinforces some of my core ideals, including how to create a customer base that not only trusts you, but works for you because you can convey to them that you actually DO care about them and their futures. This is a core book for me in my library.

Sams, 2008

Impressive!!!
This book is a monster at 1337-pages (sorry, I don't count the 100-page index that brings this book to 1432-pages) and hard bound cover, REALLY NICE, I felt I got my money's worth! I've bought several of Rand's books in the past, this one is another winner! 37-chapters on everything from design and planning, through testing, through migrations, plus chapters on security, clustering, performance ...

Get Clients Now!(TM): A 28-Day Marketing Program for Professionals, Consultants, and Coaches

26 reviews
C. J. Hayden

AMACOM, 2007

A must for consulting and other client-based businesses
This book contains a set of exercises and activities which have, in at least two cases that I know of, brought small businesses from near-insolvency to client saturation. Without spending for advertising, there are multiple techniques and a framework for effective implementation to make a company visible to its potential clients. You should have a buddy to do the 28 days, but it doesn't have to ...

Good condition and fast delivery. It only took 10 days before I received it in New Zealand. Will trade again

Microsoft® Office SharePoint® Server 2007 Administrator's Companion

Bill English, The Microsoft SharePoint Community Experts

Microsoft Press, 2007

Essentially the "Bible"
The sheer amount of information presented in this volume is impressive in and of itself. The depth and quality of coverage into the many topics varies, and there's no one topic covered in totality, but this is the "one" book. English et al. nailed coverage across topics i.e. in scope and breadth. This is certainly not the book for beginners; there is a degree of basic SharePoint knowledge ...

Microsoft SharePoint 2007 Unleashed

Michael Noel, Colin Spence

Sams, 2007

Excellent format with easy to find content
Was a little hesistant to get another in the "unleashed" series since I have been burned before with a lot of content that is dry and not pertinent to my environment. On the contrary, this is one of the best books I have seen on the new MOSS 2007 enviroment. It is clearly written and organized so that I don't have to search to hard for what I need and I can ignore what I don't.

Windows Server 2008 Inside Out

William R. Stanek

Microsoft Press, 2008

Excellent, a truly great resource to have!
Stanek once again is able to take technical topics and make them understandable. I have been running WinServer08 since beta one, and this book is an excellent reference for those of us already familiar with the Windows operating systems and newcomers alike. It's written like all Stanek's others to deliver what I needed. It's so good I read the first few chapters straight through. I have ...

How to Become a Rainmaker: The Rules for Getting and Keeping Customers and Clients

Jeffrey J. Fox

Hyperion, 2000

After a Year the results speak
I read these reviews for help ascertaining the practical usefulness of a sales book. The thousands of reviews written by fellow authors which abound throughout the review on business/sales books I discount as completely worthless, authors scratching each others backs. Then there are the reviews by all the folks that know nothing of what sales is like in the real trenches of belly to belly ...

This is the most comprehensive OpsMgr book on the market. This book contains more real world information than the Microsoft white papers and runs circles around the Mastering Operations Manager offering. Operations Manager Unleashed offers excellent guidance for planning your deployment including database sizing tips. In addition topics such as deployment and operations are thoroughly covered. ...

Professional SharePoint 2007 Web Content Management Development: Building Publishing Sites with Office ...

Andrew Connell

Wrox, 2008

Content Management in Depth
WCM (Web Content Management) is becoming a "hot" item in many MOSS deployments. I should also clarify that this book is focused on WCM as opposed to ECM (Enterprise Content Management), as this seems to be a confusing topic for some. So it is mainly for those looking for working with the publishing infrastructure within MOSS (replacing MCMS - Microsoft Content Management Server), not with the ...
