Understanding Component-Based Development (Mps) 11 reviews
Mary Kirtland
Microsoft Press, 1998
Good reference for 70-100 review
This book does a good job of explaining the COM standard from the ground up. The first third is devoted to COM. The rest of the book is an overview of building an enterprise application from the ground up using Microsoft technologies. I used this book as my primary reference in preparing for the new Analyzing Requirements exam (70-100) in the new MCSD track based on the recommendation of ...

eBay's Secrets Revealed
by Dan W. Blacharski
I laughed the first time a buyer sent me postage stamps for a payment. I returned the stamps and told them I accepted money orders or payment through pay pal. She did not laugh. She wrote a negative comment about the transaction and then filed a complaint against me. The litigation lasted for months and I was frustrated and confused. For ...

Physically Based Rendering, Second Edition: From Theory To Implementation8 reviews
Matt Pharr, Greg Humphreys
Morgan Kaufmann, 2010
Six stars out of five
Although it is not possible here, I am fairly sure this book deserves such rating. This is truly remarkable work and is likely to become a classic text in the field of computer graphics.
It is not a survey-type book, instead of trying to describe every possible method out there, the authors have concentrated on a few selected techniques, that are not only good (modern, fast, easy to ...

IT Service Management: An Introduction: Based on ITIL (Japanese Version) (Japanese Edition)9 reviews
Jan van Bon
Van Haren Publishing, 2005
Essential reading for those new to ITIL
The Office of Government Commerce's official ITIL books are great, and absolutely essential for anyone who does IT service management for a living, but the basic library will run you over $1000 in print, and the complete library on CD-ROM costs nearly $2000 (all prices in USD.)
If what you need is a good, serviceable introduction to ITIL that will give you excellent preparation for passing the ...

Robot Programming : A Practical Guide to Behavior-Based Robotics11 reviews
Joe Jones, Daniel Roth
McGraw-Hill/TAB Electronics, 2003
Essential Reading for Mobile Robot Builders
I have read dozens of robotics books over the years and most of them suck. They were either too academic or too basic. This book is excellent and was a refreshing change.
Written by one of the designers of iRobots Roomba, this book is indeed a practical guide to robotics. It is easy to read and full of practical advice that one would only get if they spent the last 20 something years working ...

Great book - detailed and simple
This book is simple for the beginner and covers some advanced concepts for not the beginner. Overall a must read for a serious OO programmer/designer. I recommend reading this book as a first or second book on OO design. The case study is great.

The Online Learning Idea Book: 95 Proven Ways to Enhance Technology-Based and Blended Learning7 reviews

An Interesting Survey
This book takes an interesting approach to online learning. Rather than an author expounding on some specific learning methodology that's guaranteed to revolutionize your system and your learners, Patti Shank collects ideas from practitioners in the field including her own experiences. Most of the contributors provided more than one idea to the text, but there are still at least 30 different ...

I just passed the PMP exam and this helped me out immensely.
The explanations are very good and really helped with studying. The layout is awesome for this type of exam prep- with very good explanations and references.
I would recommend this if you need that extra "push" of confidence, its cheaper than most.

SONET-based Metro Area Networks6 reviews
Daniel Minoli, Peter Johnson, ...
McGraw-Hill Professional, 2002
Look at previous reviews carefully...
Besause they have been written by the same person. Perhaps by friends of the authors or by the publisher (I don't want to blaim the authors because they have may good books published so far and I own most of them). On the other hand these reviews don't change the fact that this is a really good book on MANs with sonet (though it is not the MAN bible). Warmly recommended.

Recently I completed a M.Ed. through online instruction and totally loved it. While not every instructor fit my expectations or needs, I feel fortunate to have had two of the authors of The Ins and Outs of Online Instruction, Myers-Wylie and Mangieri, who were exceptional instructors. I read this book because I valued their teaching style and I wanted to know what the other side of online ...

Telecommuting Success: A Practical Guide for Staying in the Loop While Working Away from the Office6 reviews
Michael J. Dziak
Park Avenue Productions, 2001
best book on telecommuting
I recently reviewed a number of books on telecommuting and distance collaboration for a research center (...) and Dziak's book was the best I found on telecommuting. While some other books dwell too much on details of home office setup (which this book does cover thoroughly in ch 4) Dziak is by far the most insightful about the real challenges of telecommuting, which are social issues of staying ...
