PhotoShop 7.0 Screen Printing (Wordware Applications Library)

Wordware Publishing, Inc., 2003

The Screen Printers Bible
***WARNING I AM NOT A SCREEN PRINTER NOR DO I PLAY ONE ON TV*** First off Photoshop 7.0 for Screen Printers is written for Microsoft Windows so you Mac users will have to translate, second it expects you to already have a RIP and a printer that prints on film to do the final output. Although it does go into output media such as Vellums (A semi-transparent media that is easy to print on like ...

Developer's Workshop to COM and ATL 3.0

Andrew Troelsen

Fantastic book, maybe not for the absolute beginner
My current project at work required me to learn COM. I purchased several books to assist in the learning, and I must say that this book is absolutely indispensible, both as an instructional medium and as a reference. I highly recommend this book to anyone needing to learn about COM. What's inside? It starts with a basic intro to COM, useful (dare I say it) for managers as well as the ...

Camtasia Studio 3: The Definitive Guide (Wordware Applications Library)

More than Camtasia
If I could give 10 stars I would. THis book is the definitive guide to Camtasia and much, much more. The Camtasia part doesn't even start till Chapter 5. You spend the chapters before that learning about the how-to and why of 1) training, 2) marketing and 3) demo presentations. It's a Camtasia book and a How-To-Do-Great-Presentation book in one. And all done in an entertaining by the ...

Breck Carter

Wordware Publishing, Inc., 2004

An outstanding book, and great reference guide on CD
This book is simply a must-to-have for db-developers; it presents a complete and compact reference for experienced developers as well as it offers a comprehensive immersion in SQL Anywhere to beginners and less experienced ones. If I had to use only one word to express my opinion about this book I would just say: RELIEF. Relief of not getting drowned again in hundred of pages of irrelevant ...

Tomes of Delphi: WIn32 Shell API Windows 2000 Edition

8 reviews
John Ayres

Wordware Publishing, Inc., 2001

Best Shell API Resource, AND EXEMPLARY DELIVERY OF MATERIAL
Imposing as the material in this book might otherwise be, I am most impressed with the clean authorship of the material. This book is more than a developer can reasonably hope for in a source reference. I expected to have to give maybe 10 days' time to absorbing it cover to cover, but it is written so well that most chapters require reading less than a page describing the chapter; and the rest of ...

Advanced FileMaker Pro 6 Web Development

8 reviews
Bob Bowers, Moyer, ...

Wordware Publishing, Inc., 2003

An excellent course in web development
This is more than a book, it is really a course in web development. The authors communicate the material in a way that is easy to understand, and the book is filled with examples that you can do as you read. Although the focus is on FileMaker, the knowledge you'll glean will apply to web development efforts with other databases as well. I reviewed and skimmed the chapters out of sequence in ...

LightWave 3D 8: 1001 Tips & Tricks

19 reviews

Wordware Publishing, Inc., 2004

Should Be Bundled With the Lightwave CD
Without wasting time here...if you're a Lightwaver, you should get this book. Put the bills on hold, if necessary, and eat cereal for a week. :-) As a beginning - intermediate Lightwave user/student, I've bought and read most of the new Lightwave books, and this one is the most valuable, by far. Having this book lying beside your computer is like having 30+ Lightwave gurus at your elbow, ...

Essential LightWave v9: The Fastest and Easiest Way to Master LightWave 3D

11 reviews
Steve Warner, Kevin Phillips, ...

Wordware Publishing, Inc., 2007

Great stuff
The best general Lightwave v9 book around. Masterfully written, great tutorials and clear explanations. I agree that the pictures should have been color, but I don't think the book publisher has been able to make that a profitable venture, especially with the limited appeal of a book like this. Unfortunate, but they don't have the budget of Visual Quickstart and the like. I am glad they ...

Camtasia Studio 4: The Definitive Guide (Wordware Applications Library)

6 reviews
Daniel Park

Wordware Publishing, Inc., 2007

Excellent, comprehensive book for newbies and experienced users
I fall into the newbie category and had to come up to speed very quickly, using Camtasia Studio 4 to record and produce several video podcasts of PowerPoint presentations for my company. I bought several books and read "how-to's" on the internet, but this book turned out to be my savior. If you buy only one book, this one should be the one.

FileMaker Pro 6 Developer's Guide to XML/XSL (Wordware Library for Filemaker)

8 reviews
Beverly Voth

Wordware Publishing, Inc., 2003

The Last Word
The release of Beverly Voth's Guide is well worth our wait. While exhaustive, the writing is clear and not exhausting. She has given us the definitive textbook on this thorny, difficult subject, starting at the outside and working in. While breaking apart the various layers into edible morsels, Ms. Voth does not sugar-coat the complexities of her subject; she simply makes them disappear.

Access 2007 Programming by Example with VBA, XML, and ASP (Wordware Database Library)

1 review
Julitta Korol

Wordware Publishing, Inc., 2007

Great Books - Excellent for Access VBA Work
If you are looking for a book to learn basics of Microsoft Access then you are looking at the wrong book. If you want to impress your boss with Access Macros, it is again a wrong book. It is however an excellent book that covers the whole nine-yard of Microsoft Access VBA development. It starts out directly into basics of Modules and Visual Basic Editor environment. Takes you quickly through ...

Design Patterns (Wordware Applications Library)

2 reviews
Christopher G. Lasater

Wordware Publishing, Inc., 2006

Exactly what I was looking for!
For me it was like the story of Goldie Locks. In college we read the GoF patterns book which was overly detailed and engaged the reader about as much as a phone book. Later on I read the head-first design patterns book which is just long and unnecessarily repetitive fluff. I finally found this book and it was "just right". Thank goodness we have an author that realizes that not all computer ...

Wireless Game Development in C/C++ with BREW (Wordware Game Developer's Library)

4 reviews
Ralph Barbagallo

Wordware Publishing, Inc., 2003

Good Code, Good Book, Good Times
I just got this book, having pre-ordered it awhile ago. As a BREW games developer, I am finding Mr. Barbagello's explanation of some of the finer points of BREW very useful. I've already had a few "Doh! So *that's* how that works!" moments, and I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in coding applications for BREW. BREW has a definite learning curve to it, but this book could ...

Learn Google (Wordware's Internet Library)

Michael Busby

Wordware Publishing, Inc., 2003

A Critical Guide (and the best) to Google
I'm a research junkie -- have been almost all my life. My entrance essay for law school was about my various research projects. It worked -- I graduated from Harvard Law School in 1986. Mr. Busby's book provided a critical guide to Google, showing much more independence of thought than "Google for Dummies" and "How to Do Everything with Google." His approach to the subject included technical ...

Lighting skills from the Master!
Nicholas Boughen has really created something amazing! He walks you thru all theighting tools in LightWave Eight at an easy to read pace with great examples and lessons. What makes this book special is that although it teaches you how to light in LightWave 8, it covers the fundamentals of lighting , how to recreate real world lighting,and more. Nicholas has a talent for explaining complex ...

LightWave 3D 8 Cartoon Character Creation, Volume 2: Rigging & Animation (Wordware Game and Graphics Library)

5 reviews
Jonny Gorden

Wordware Publishing, Inc., 2004

Hands Down...The Character Rigging Book
Until I read this book Rigging was always a challenge and something I avoided. This book clearly explains not only the buttons to click but the basic concepts needed for anyone that wants to rig. Then when you have mastered the basics he walks you thru complex, power, but easy to setup rigging setups. As an Instructor I recommend this book not only to my students but also to high end studios. ...

Must have for your library reference
ALthough this book is an advance - I feel this book was well done for the novice or advance. Clear outlines and easy references makes this book good for all. I do love my visio 2002 program and this book makes me enjoy the program so much more.

Adobe Captivate 3: The Definitive Guide (Wordware Applications Library)

Brenda Huettner

Wordware Publishing, Inc., 2008

Best so far...
I am just starting out as a WBT developer and this book provides a good foundation for anyone new or even those who are familar with previous Captivate versions. It also gives a brief synopsis of how to set up a plan for developing a WBT. The quality of the book is great too with plenty of screen shots of the software. Thanks to the publishers I had it just when I needed it. Kate

Learn FileMaker Pro 9 (Wordware Library for FileMaker)

2 reviews
Jonathan Stars

Wordware Publishing, Inc., 2007

Best book for beginner-to-intermediate
Stars quickly introduces the concepts you need to design a truly useful database. Most other books (including the three mentioned at the end of this review) discuss each module of FileMaker separately and in the abstract, similar to the FileMaker User Guide, leaving you wondering how to get started designing your own database. For example, most books defer "related tables" until halfway into ...
