Buy this book
This is my fifth photo shop elements user guide.

Routing TCP/IP Volume I (CCIE Professional Development)59 reviews
Pearson Education (USA), 2007
The best way to understand the world of IGPs
If any book was ever considered as the MUST HAVE BIBLE for Interior Routing Protocols - then Jeff Doyle's first effort on IGPs is THE book (how many cliché's do you want in one sentence)!! The book goes through at a very even pace - dissecting and describing the majority of both open-standard IGPs (OSPF, RIP and a little on ISIS) and Cisco-proprietary IGPs (IGRP and it's beefier brother - ...

Web Analytics: An Hour a Day60 reviews
Avinash Kaushik
Sybex, 2007
Now this is what I call Web Analytics!
I can consider myself as pretty noobish in the field of web analytics. I know SEO and usability, but web analytics has always been just looking at the number of visitors and pageviews. Until I received this book, because this book is a real eye-opener for the new comers to web analytics. It totally change your way of thinking about what web analytics is and how you can pull the best out of it.

A must have for designers!
This book is a must have for designers! Eismann makes masking an easy task and offers some really great tips on how to mask difficult objects such as veils, water bottles, glass, and translucent fabrics. And of course HAIR!

W. Richard Stevens
Addison-Wesley Professional, 1994
This Is The Bible On The TCP/IP Protocol Stack
This is THE BIBLE. This is the gold standard for the exposition of the TCP/IP protocol stack. Every other TCP/IP protocol book must be measured by the yardstick of this book. This is simply the most comprehensive book ever written on the TCP/IP protocol stack. It's crystal clear and utterly lucid.

Windows Presentation Foundation Unleashed (WPF)55 reviews
Sams Publishing, 2008
Great content to match the great presentation!
On first opening this book you are struck by the beautiful full colour pictures and syntax-highlighted code samples. [Though the experience was slightly marred by the tears and damage to the front cover which occurred during shipping, as was also the case with another book in the order.]
I did a quick flip through and thought... "Beautiful presentation, but the content looks a bit ...

Effective Java Programming Language Guide120 reviews
Pearson Education (USA), 2007
Great Guide
I am only about half way through this book and already have learned numerous things about the design of Java as a language and about proper usage of said language. This book is going to be a staple in my programming library and a book recommended to anyone I know working with Java. I am also looking forward to the second edition which is slated to be released in May sometime.

Information Technology Control and Audit91 reviews
Auerbach Publications, 1999
Useful reference material
This book has some material relevant to the CISA examination based on the 2003 content areas, although it is not organized or focused as a CISA examination guide. If you are looking for CISA review material for the test, I would strongly suggest to stick with ISACA's combination of review manual and questions CD. I also searched everywhere for study aids for this grueling test and ended up using ...

Scott Meyers
Addison-Wesley Professional, 1997
Must have for any C++ Programmer
This is a great book which covers a lot of useful topics for every C++ professional. I have been programming in C++ for a while so some of the topics Scott Mayers discussed were already familiar but I still picked up a lot from this book. From a beginner to intermediate programmer, this is a must have. Advanced programmers probably have this book already (or its previous editions). Otherwise, ...

AdWords For Dummies43 reviews
For Dummies, 2007
Excellent and very helpful
Howie Jacobson offers a very insightful and helpful guide to sifting through the often confusing aspects of Google AdWords. What is great about this book is that it isn't necessary to read the book from cover to cover in order to get the information you need. The book is divided into sections (which are accurately named) so you can jump right into the topic you need most help on.

Programming Windows Presentation Foundation (Programming)50 reviews

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2005
Ignore the 2 and 3 star reviews
I say to ignore those reviews because they do not refer to this book. This is the second edition published August 28, 2007 with 863 pages. Those reviews are based off of the first edition published nearly two years before (September 12, 2005) and with only 447 pages.
Using Amazon's 'Search inside this book' takes you to the 2005 edition also. That shows only 10 chapters while this edition ...

This is a wonderful book! The instructions are easy to follow and all of the games are fun. I liked the fact that the finished games are on the CD so you could see what they are like while you are working on them.

Sybex, 1999
Paid for themselves in a day
I am a software developer and have been in business since 1982. I have never gotten more bank for my buck than with these books. I didn't think Access was worth a flip for program development until I bought these books. I have since developed a vertical market package for the seafood industry that sells itself by demo. Thanks Ken, Paul and Mike.
