C# in Depth: What you need to master C# 2 and 3 17 reviews
Jon Skeet
Manning Publications, 2008
How C# has improved in expressiveness with each new version
When thinking about what an "in depth" discussion of C# might include, one might have voted for "challenging" topics like asynchronous programming or remoting in C#. But "in depth" in this book means going back in time to discuss in detail how the expressiveness of C# has improved with each new version by making the compiler take on more and more of the "heavy lifting". This approach to teaching ...

Care of the Soul : A Guide for Cultivating Depth and Sacredness in Everyday Life 66 reviews
Thomas Moore
Harper Paperbacks, 1994
Nonfiction for the literary lover
Being a student of classical literature, I have very rarely found nonfiction that can speak in the same language to which I am accustomed. This book is deeply profound and challenging--perhaps the most evocative approach to psychology I have ever encountered.
It is especially helpful to those who enjoy literature. It is artistic and aesthetic, yet still very, very helpful for practical use and ...

I wish they publish something for advanced level programming.

PMP In Depth: Project Management Professional Study Guide for PMP and CAPM Exams (In Depth)50 reviews
Paul Sanghera
Course Technology PTR, 2006
Paul's or Rita's Book: My Experience
Excuse my English, but here my take. Both Dr. Paul Sanghera's PMP in Depth and Ms. Rita Mulcahy's PMP Exam Prep are great books and have their pros and cons. That said I largely prepared from Dr. Sanghera's PMP in Depth and PMP Exam Quicklet (for practice exams), and PMBOK Guide....and had no trouble in passing the exam on the first try. My opinion: instead of taking sides and being inflammatory ...

Experiencing the Depths of Jesus Christ (Library of Spiritual Classics, Volume 2)28 reviews
Jeanne Marie Bouvier De La Motte Guyon
Christian Books Pub House, 1981
Practical Christian Spirituality
Guyon has given the church a spiritual gem. And this gem has been mostly hidden... hidden by years of religious junk that is void of life-changing power! She writes of what many call "the deeper Christian life" when it is truthfully... the normal Christian life. Unfortunately, it is this Christian life that most believers never mature and grow up into.
Guyon calls believers to learn a new ...

mother's git to her daughter

Matters of Light & Depth17 reviews
Ross Lowell
Lower Light Management, 1999
One of my favorite lighting books!
Let me say up front that I view the book from the prospective of a photographer, though it does cover film and video lighting also. This book is an easy read and offers a great balance technical information and practical applications of technique. The exercises presented at the end of the book work well to illustrate many of the lessons in previous chapters and show the reader first-hand the ...

C++ Coding Standards: 101 Rules, Guidelines, and Best Practices (C++ In-Depth Series)27 reviews
Herb Sutter, Andrei Alexandrescu
Addison-Wesley Professional, 2004
Excellent catalogue of best practices
I think this is one of the most useful C++ books one could have if working in a team. Most companies don't have a very large set of coding standards, and every now and then there will be a discussion about which is the best way to implement something. That is the time to when this book shines:
1) You can show your co-workers the page for the related item, and the explanation for the ...

Lots Of Errors, But Well Worth The Wait!
I have to say I have been waiting for this book for quite some time, having first ordered it back in May & apparently there was a long delay in Amazon actually having it in stock to ship. It finally arrived today & I am quite pleased, not only as an American Revolution buff & reenactor but this is the first book since John Mollo's Uniforms of the American Revolution from 1976 to feature a ...

The Last Dive: A Father and Son's Fatal Descent into the Ocean's Depths144 reviews
Bernie Chowdhury
Harper Paperbacks, 2002
Much more than just the Rouse's "Last Dive"
"The Last Dive" is a very engaging read that is every bit as much about why people take risks at the edge of human ability (diving, mountain climbing, racing, etc.), their personalities, and their weaknesses, as it is about Chris and Chrissy Rouse and their fatal dive on the U-Who.
Although I found "Shadow Divers" and "Deep Descent" a bit more riveting; after the somewhat flowery prose of the ...

Dragons of the Dwarven Depths (Dragonlance: The Lost Chronicles, Vol. 1)36 reviews
Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman
Wizards of the Coast, 2006
Dragonlance standard!
This book lives up to the Dragonlance standard in my opinion. It portrays the events that took place between the first two book of the chronicles trilogy (after the escape for Pax Tharkas).
Definetly worth reading if you crave to know what convinced the dwarfs of Thorbadin to shelter 800 human refugees, or if you crave to know how a hammer that has been lost for over 300 years finally ...

Modern C++ Design: Generic Programming and Design Patterns Applied (C++ In-Depth Series)67 reviews
Andrei Alexandrescu
Addison-Wesley Professional, 2001
Great book with an important caveat
That caveat being: the book is not of immediate _practical_ value to most C++ programmers (other than as a brain teaser or inspiration, both of which are of course very important). Let me explain. The book is 5-star material but its audience is rather specific. Most of the techniques described in it are useful to _template libraries_ designers only. For others these techniques would fall into the ...

Dragons Of The Dwarven Depths: The Lost Chronicles, Volume One (Dragonlance)8 reviews
Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman
Wizards of the Coast, 2007
A great read, better than some give it credit for.
I judge this book not on typographical errors, nor the filler parts of the plot. But on its merit as a revisit to the world that turned me into a reader. The world which lit my imagination and the character therein. Krynn, and The Companions.
The book had plenty of character growth from the Autumn Twilight. Those who are reviewing it as having not are thinking with their metaplot knowledge in ...

Depths (Vintage) 16 reviews
Henning Mankell
Vintage, 2008
henning mankell
This man is a phenomonal writer. I am 80 years old & have been an avid reader all my life. Never read anybody better. "Depths" was particularly riveting because it takes the reader into foreign lands, a time when the protaganist had an interesting contribution to make to that era. I couldn't put it down. I wish his books hit the US faster. But they have to be translated into English. Well worth ...
