Web 2.0: A Strategy Guide: Business thinking and strategies behind successful Web 2.0 implementations.

5 reviews
Amy Shuen

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2008

Do you want to create a Web 2.0 business, or integrate Web 2.0 strategies with your existing business?
I think this is a very good book. It is not a book of buzzwords and hype. Its chapters lead with theory, go to detail, end with lists of lessons learned, and finally provide a list of questions and answers (Q&A). There are the following six chapters included: 1. Users create value 2. Networks multiply effects 3. People build connections 4. Companies capitalize competences 5. New recombines ...

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2005

Want to learn HTML and CSS...This is THE BOOK.
When I became interested in starting my website, www.stevechambers.com, I wanted to learn the basics behind the code so I could get my web pages looking as close as possible to how I wanted them to look. I first tried some free HTML tutorials on the web, then purchased several different books before happening upon this one. Far and away, this is the book to use to learn the basics of HTML and ...

Head First is good for your brain.
I love this book. It is my first Head First book and I intend to buy more. It is really a fun way to learn. Though the book deals with some advanced topics, the way the material is presented makes it easier to get into your brain. My suggestion is to pick up one of these books in a book store, skim through it to get the idea of where they're coming from, then buy the book from Amazon. (It's ...

C# Review
A couple of other reviews on this book confirm what I have discovered in the few chapters I have had time to read, and that is this an excellent book. I have about seven languages under my belt, but this is my first dive into C#, and as a result of this book, I am coming up to speed on this language very quickly. I thank the authors for going out of their way to make the learning curve ...

Head First Java, 2nd Edition

206 reviews
Kathy Sierra, Bert Bates

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2005

A really great book for learning Java
I am an instructor who was tasked with teaching a basic Java class even though I didn't really know the language. I had to learn it FAST. I looked at a lot of different Java books and this is the one I settled on. The style of the "Head First" books is unconventional and may seem silly on the surface but it is based on serious metacognitive (thinking about thinking) principles and IT WORKS. ...

JavaScript: The Good Parts

6 reviews
Douglas Crockford

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2008

Beautiful book
This is a beautiful book. First of all - at only 170 pages it is short. Even though some of the key points are repeated through the book it's dense with information. You don't need any JavaScript experience, but it's not a "beginning programming" book so if you haven't been programming before this is not the right book for you. Reading this book a couple of times will give you an ...

Toby Segaran

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2007

Great, simple presentation of some powerful techniques
Programming Collective Intelligence is a book about applying data mining techniques to analyse collections of data. There is submerged information in Ebay prices, in Facebook profile networks, in collections of movie reviews, in news sites, in the stockmarket; this book by Toby Segaran shows ways to extract, visualise, understand, and predict that information. Each chapter explains and ...

Learning Python, 3rd Edition

Mark Lutz

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2007

The Longest Short-way to Python
If you are a top-down learner this book is not for you. You can safely pick "Dive into Python". However, if you are the bottom-up type, you will not regret. While the Python slogan promises "one way to do it", Mark Lutz will show you four, and explore every detail, like complex list comprehensions, closures and the diamond inheritance pattern. This is why you will wait 200 pages (exploring data ...

Designing Interfaces: Patterns for Effective Interaction Design

Jenifer Tidwell

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2005

More Practical Concepts, Less Psychology
While I don't own a physical copy of this book, I had used an electronic form of it in the course of my studies. I will first forewarn those who are interested in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) that this text does not heavily focus on the science of Psychological principles such as Gestalt Perception, nor does it concern itself with techniques/methodologies such as Threading and ...

RESTful Web Services

Leonard Richardson, Sam Ruby

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2007

The necessary wake-up call for developers who ignore HTTP
RESTful web services is one of the (very) few books I read from start to finish without browsing the ToC for "more interesting" chapters than the one I was currently reading. From a writers perspective, this book is executed flawlessly: great organization of content, good segues that keep the flow, fun to read, etc. The title, however, should be "HTTP used correctly". Of course inventing a new ...

CSS: The Definitive Guide

Eric Meyer

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2006

Very authoritative and complete
Before purchasing this book, I had purchased about a half dozen books on css, one from the same author. I was really surprised to find new ways to use css that I hadn't learned in the other books. Each topic is discussed completely and in detail. For a reference on css, this book is the best I've found.

Network Warrior

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2007

Essential reading for both the exams and everyday networking.
In preparation for the CCNA exam, I have gone through several networking books, both Cisco-specific and otherwise. I had thought that the official Cisco Press CCNA set was the best resource... until I took a chance on this tome. While I have found the Wendell Odom CCNA set to be the definitive guide to CCNA/CCENT material, I now must admit that this book is nearly - or even exactly - as essential ...

This book is "a beginner;s guide to (X)HTML, style sheets (css), and web graphics. This book was a great insight on using HTML markup for structure and css for presentation. I heard this concept for a while, but ...

High Performance Web Sites: Essential Knowledge for Front-End Engineers

27 reviews
Steve Souders

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2007

Expert-in-a-book
When optimizing a website, a lot of focus is usually placed on the back-end (databases, server-side code, etc.). That's because most programmers are comfortable with such matters. Once the HTML is emitted, it's easy to think "not my problem". This book, however, is written by someone (a Yahoo engineer) who knows the front end (how the emitted HTML performs for the user) *is* often the biggest ...

InDesign CS3 One on One

9 reviews
Deke McClelland

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2008

Deke is great
Deke is a great teacher: easy to follow, speaks clearly and isn't boring. I don't think everything in the book is on video, but the book is also easy to follow. It too is a great teacher with lots of illustrations, tips and concise directions. Though I was a Quark user and completely new to InDesign, One on One does a great job of teaching it.

Head First JavaScript (Head First)

20 reviews
Michael Morrison

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2008

A good first book for learning Javascript
This book is for learning Javascript, what it is good for, what it is not, etc. This is not a reference book. I've read through this book, but then I'm accustomed to self-teaching through reading, and I also had a pretty good understanding of Javascript. I was just looking to brush up, plus I like the layout of the Head First series of books. The test of this book is how it engaged my husband. He ...
