Visual Basic 5 Bible (The Secrets Series) 5 reviews
Douglas Hergert
John Wiley & Sons Inc (Computers), 1997
Very good
This is a very good book. There's something the author could improve on in the next version. Examples in the book don't seem to encourage good programming practice. E.g., two consecutive if-blocks should be combined into one if-elseif-block for performance reason because only one IF is valid judging from the context. Some identical processing is done on the WHILE line rather than before the ...

Creating Cool HTML 4 Web Pages46 reviews
Dave Taylor
John Wiley & Sons Inc (Computers), 1998
Best HTML Book Around!
I graduated from the University of Redlands (California) with a Bachelor of Science in Information Systems degree a few years ago. Many of the textbooks I used were not very enlightening - I suffered through using them and immediately took them back to the bookstore for resale. This wasn't so with the CREATING COOL HTML 4 book. I use this as a reference book now.
One of the classes I took ...

Microsoft Image Composer for Dummies4 reviews
Brian Johnson
John Wiley & Sons Inc (Computers), 1998
A must have for novice MIC users!
If you're new to Microsoft Image Composer, then you must get this book. Brian Johnson writes with clarity and humor which takes the intimidation factor out of learning this program. While MIC makes web graphics creation as easy as it gets, it's still a great help to have a guide to lead you through the short learning curve. Brian Johnson inspires confidence. With a little patience and this book, ...

John Wiley & Sons Inc (Computers), 1996
I love this book
I started using TrueSpace back when version 2 was the newest release. I figured I could play around and build some small videos for myself. This book walked me through many of the functions and allowed me to apply what I have learned. Practically from the first page, the author walks your step by step in creating your own object. Now with version 6 available, I wish this author would write an ...

Windows 95 System Programming Secrets (The Secrets Series)7 reviews
Matt Pietrek
John Wiley & Sons Inc (Computers), 1995
A must have. I keep coming back to the excellant reference
There are very few books that I have gotten this much wealth of information out of. Matt spent a lot of time researching it, reverse engineering windows 95 to see how it works. I would gladly pay 10 times the sales price. I found the in depth coverage of the PE (win95 EXEs) file format much better than anything microsoft has to offer. Also, many people will find the section on how to ...

Great Java security book
If you use a web browser that is Java enabled (versions greater than Netscape Navigator 2.0 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0) ,and are concerned about Java security, this book is required reading. At under 160 pages of text (not counting the appendices), Java Security provides a superb overview of security issues involved with using Java. The authors are security veterans. Felton heads up ...

The Art of Programming With Visual Basic7 reviews
Mark Warhol
John Wiley & Sons Inc (Computers), 1995
The best programming book I have ever read
While dated in specific VB examples (it was written for VB3), this book is far more important in what it teaches you about the programming industry in general. It teaches how to write clean, structured code, and what to expect as a professional programmer. Anyone who writes code for a living should buy this book immediately, regardless of whether you're just out of school, or have been in the ...

Bard Williams
John Wiley & Sons Inc (Computers), 1996
Great for teachers starting in the profession
This book allowed me to work with the interent in many areas. I have been able to locate information I did not believe existed on-line. Williams explains things in easy to understand language and then walks you through the exercise. The glossary is also very helpful for the computer neophyte. The attached CD installs Adobe Acrobat Reader and explains its many uses. I found this particularly ...

Great for parents/kids to get started, find great sites
I'm a parent and a grandmother, and this book helped me show my 7 year old granddaughter some really fun and interesting sites on the World Wide Web. The other thing it did was to explain a few things I didn't know, like the difference between the Internet and online services, and some basic information for the totally clueless on how to get started on setting up a computer at home. We found the ...

This is a fine book, it covers just about everything to do with the internet that you could want, it is concise and yet has excellent secret tips - I am talking about very rare and highly useful tidbits. I've been using the net since '88 and this is the first book I've seen covering it all so very very neatly. The nitty gritty, behind the scenes and all in a very well organised, highly ...

The Developers Guide to Winhelp.Exe With Disk the Windows Help Engine (Coriolis Group Book)2 reviews
Jim Mischel, Jeff Duntemann
John Wiley & Sons Inc (Computers), 1994
An excellent book for Win 3.1 WinHelp Compiler
I originally found this book by happenstance at my library and was thankful they had a copy of it. Jeff Duntemann's forward is what convinced me this book was worth while studying. I would classsify this book as a "soup to nuts" book on the Win 3.1 WinHelp.exe compiler and how developers can create Help files using various compiler languages. I think it should have had the title "Everything ...

Creating Web Pages for Kids & Parents (The Dummies Guide to Family Computing)2 reviews
Greg Holden
John Wiley & Sons Inc (Computers), 1997
A great book for any kid who is interested in making a site!
I thought this book was very good, it showed us (kids) some HTML basics, how to make a webpage with GeoCities, etc. I like how the author's niece gave a little tip at the end of each chapter. And the activities made sure you know what they're talking about. I would definitely recommend this book to any kid who wants to make a page or site.
