Core Java(TM), Volume I--Fundamentals (8th Edition) (Sun Core Series)

10 reviews
Cay S. Horstmann, Gary Cornell

Prentice Hall PTR, 2007

Even for the most experienced Java programmers
I am an extremely experienced Java programmer and Ph. D. computer scientist. I write and teach courses and develop technical assessments, so it's important to me to keep up with language developments. While I've bought a great many Java books over the years, I've been neglecting Core Java for many editions, thinking it would no longer be of any use and being tired of repurchasing books. I'm ...

Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship (Robert C. Martin Series)

2 reviews
Robert C. Martin

Prentice Hall PTR, 2008

A must-buy for object-oriented developers
When most people hear the term "bad writing" they understand the term: Confusing, inconsistent, rambling, big words used incorrectly. In fact, we have lots and lots of educational programs designed to teach grammar, composition, journalism, and fiction. Master's Degrees in the subject, even. But for software development we seemed obsessed with "architecture" (whatever that means), process ...

A book that will help you become a Linux command line guru
This is a book that I have been looking for for a long time. I have been looking for a book that takes me into the command line world of Linux but in a methodical way describing all the little options, tips, tricks but also the principles that make Linux shell so powerful. Book begins with a brief history of Linux and very informative, relevant overview of the system architecture. It ...

C Programming Language (2nd Edition) (Prentice Hall Software)

254 reviews
Brian W. Kernighan, Dennis M. Ritchie

Prentice Hall PTR, 1988

The Must-have
I've read the first edition, and this is a must. It doesn't cover some of the details of ISO/ansi 99, but those can be found elsewhere. What can't be found is the way the authors drag even the beginning student right into the depths of memory allocation so soon. This book isn't too easy, but it's one no student of c can be without, and it's well-written, into the bargain.

The Design of Sites: Patterns for Creating Winning Web Sites (2nd Edition)

Prentice Hall PTR, 2006

Exactly what I needed!
This book tells me exactly what to do to design a website. I'm a researcher in a government lab working on a large aeronautics and data mining research project. We'd like our work to be more open to the public, and I'm responsible for designing a website to engage the public in active collaboration. I've got less than a year, I have a small inexperienced team (me included), and I'm trying to ...

Joomla! A User's Guide: Building a Successful Joomla! Powered Website

Prentice Hall PTR, 2007

Excellent Introduction to Joomla
If you are looking for a well written book about Joomla then this is the one. I read it from cover to cover except for one chapter. Joomla is a very powerful CMS engine, and because of that, the developers of this engine will always struggle to provide a simpler user interface and experience. In most cases simpler does really mean less powerful features. This book tries to bridge the gap, by ...

Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering (4th Edition) (Prentice Hall International Series in the Physical ...

H. Scott Fogler

Prentice Hall PTR, 2005

Excellent Book
In contrast with what my fellow Ann Arbor reviewer (and most likely UM ChE student), I tended to think that Fogler's book was an excellent way by which to learn the principles of Chemical Reaction Engineering. The book is well organized and while the chapters may skip some, the principle chapters (1-6 in the sixth printing) are the recommended starting chapters. Once passing through chapters 1 - ...

Effective Java (2nd Edition) (Java Series)

14 reviews
Joshua Bloch

Prentice Hall PTR, 2008

Taught this old dog new tricks
I've been programming Java since 1995 and sometimes think I know everything I need to know about working with the language. Sometimes it takes a book like "Effective Java" make you realize there's always more to learn. This book is packed with incredibly useful information that every single Java developer should know. The best part is that Bloch is not proposing any kind of radical new ...

Prentice Hall PTR, 2004

A "must read" for a programmer
It's a "must read" for a programmer. This book has opened my eyes for lots of things connected with programming I didn't realize before. After reading this book I recommend you reading followings: - "Agile Software Development, Principles, Patterns, and Practices" ew. "Agile Principles, Patterns, and Practices in C#"; - "Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture". I have to say that ...

Great ChemE Book
I really like how they focused on Hysys which is what is mostly used in industry. This is a great book for undergrads and grad taking designs in chemical engineering.

Computer Networks (4th Edition)

108 reviews
Andrew S. Tanenbaum

Prentice Hall PTR, 2002

The classic has been improved
Back in 1993, during my senior year at school, I had to learn computer networks. Back then, the only decent book available was Prof Tanenbaum's 2ed. I had found that book boring because it covered every possible networking algorithm and technique in the world without any references to real-world networks. Recently, after spending 12 years working on various protocols and networking devices ...

Security in Computing, 4th Edition

Charles P. Pfleeger, Shari Lawrence Pfleeger

Prentice Hall PTR, 2006

The foundational information every professional should know...
It's easy to find security books that will tell you how to break or secure a system. But there's not an abundance of books that go into the foundational information in great depth. This one does just that... Security in Computing (4th Edition) by Charles P. Pfleeger and Shari Lawrence Pfleeger. Contents: Is There a Security Problem in Computing?; Elementary Cryptography; Program Security; ...

Essential Linux Device Drivers (Prentice Hall Open Source Software Development Series)

6 reviews
Sreekrishnan Venkateswaran

Prentice Hall PTR, 2008

Best Linux device driver book yet
I've been frustrated by many other Linux kernel and device driver books. The authors often make assumptions about the readers knowledge and gloss over areas that can be quite confusing. To some extent, that's unavoidable: the Linux kernel is monstrous and very complex, and the hardware that drivers control can also be dark and mysterious territory. I really appreciated this books ...

Another winner
Nutshell review - Another great book by Ed Skoudis. Covers all the popular attack vectors and a variety of possible defence techniques. A solid book from which further study and investigation can be undertaken. Management people should read this too.

SOA Principles of Service Design (Prentice Hall Service-Oriented Computing Series from Thomas Erl)

25 reviews
Thomas Erl

Prentice Hall PTR, 2007

Essential Handbook for Service Design
What this book is not: it is not a handbook for architecting an SOA (try Erl's other book, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA): Concepts, Technology, and Design (The Prentice Hall Service-Oriented Computing Series from Thomas Erl), for this). Nor is this a book for developers looking for code examples, WSDL pointers, or the like -- there's no code in this book, other than sparse snippets of XML ...

Core Java, Vol. 2: Advanced Features, 8th Edition

4 reviews
Cay S. Horstmann, Gary Cornell

Prentice Hall PTR, 2008

The high quality I've come to expect from the Core Java series
Updated for Java 6, "Core Java Advanced Features" does not disappoint. This is for those of you who have finished volume 1, either this 8th edition or the 7th edition. Quite frankly, I think in the case of Volume 1 you can skate by with the older 7th edition. However, in the case of the eighth edition of Volume 2, there is quite a bit of expanded coverage to the tune of the resulting book being ...

Advanced Strength and Applied Elasticity (4th Edition)

6 reviews
Ansel C. Ugural, Saul K. Fenster

Prentice Hall PTR, 2003

Finally a book that explains with words!
I don't understand what the other reviewers are talking about, I find this book a lifesaver for my Deformable Solids course, because the authors take the time to explain the formulas they put in the book with real words. I appreciate that the formulas are in the text and not coldly thrown at you in a scary cluster, making the concepts much easier to understand thoroughly. I found the information ...

A Practical Guide to Ubuntu Linux(R)

11 reviews
Mark G. Sobell

Prentice Hall PTR, 2007

A complete guide to Ubuntu Linux for beginning to intermediate users
Finding a single book that encompasses what you want to learn can be difficult. Most cover a few portions of a subject in depth and skim over (or omit) others. Other books will cover each topic at about the same level: high enough to give an impression of what can be done, but not with enough depth to do it without a lot of effort. Mark G. Sobell's "A Practical Guide to Ubuntu Linux" is a single ...
