5 comments about Teach Yourself VISUALLY HTML (Teach Yourself VISUALLY (Tech)).

1. When I am asked the question, "I want to learn programming, were should I begin?" my response is always, "learn HTML." While some people will legitimately argue that HTML is not true programming, it is easy to learn and the results are visual and immediate. The skills learned in the study of HTML are fundamental to more advanced programming and the ease of learning gives the beginner immediate and clear success.
   This book is the easiest way to learn HTML that I have ever seen. With the illustrations all in full color, it is the epitome of What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG). Every step is set out in clear detail and all of the most commonly used features of HTML are covered. From this point on I will recommend it as my preferred first book in HTML.



2. The book is very helpful. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow.



3. This is the most colorful and most cutest book to have!!! Everything's fully explained.. Makes you what to explore further and eager to learn. I have gone through it repeatedly. by the end, you feel HTML is so powerful that other programming languages can stand aside. Simply LOVE Teach Yourself Visually HTML !!! GRAB YOUR COPY NOW!!!



4. I bought this book back in 2002 to learn HTML and it was exactly what I was looking for. Easy to follow VISUAL instruction. After years of webpaging I STILL referance this book for quick easy to find reminders and brushing up. I recommend it to anyone, but especially those who know absolutely nothing about HTML nor where to begin.



5. Two weeks ago I decided to re-work my company web sit. I ordered this book
   and "Creating Web Pages with HTML". Creating came first and with it I was able to create a seven page site with pictures in under twelve hours.
   
   Then came this book. There are three or four things in it that were not covered in "Creating" but "Creating" was much easier and simpler to follow and excecute. Creating did a much better job of taking it one step at a time, from the basic to the more complex in a more logical order.
   
   I am far from an expert and this will probably get the job done for you even with out any previous html experience, but I would recommend "Creating" for its simplicity.

5 comments about Pro EJB 3: Java Persistence API (Pro).

1. Anything that requires getting a bunch of jars on the server classpath was deemed unsuitable for automated deployments. I wonder how people manage automated deployments and configurations, especially in a multi-server clustered environment.



2. Pro EJB3 is a great book. Having been using it for over last 6 month on my recent project, I can definitely say that this book is invaluable.
   
   Have been worked on EJB 2.x for many years and on several projects with different application servers (Weblogic, JBoss, WebSphere), I understand the basics of EJB. So I want not only understand the basic how-to in EJB3 and JPA, but also want to understand the in depth explanations on transaction, persistence context and different behavior in the new system.
   
   The book explain all these topics very well. I had brought other book (hibernate in action with JPA pdf version), but found that book was too focused on hibernate (even I was a fan of the previous edition of hibernate in action book). This book is well focused on JPA,and I really likes JPA APIs.
   
   The book author is really nice and accessible. I have emailed Mike questions and he consistently replied promptly.
   
   This book worth the money !!!

3. This is the best book out there that explains in detail how JPA works with some good examples. I found the book to be well structured and easy to read.
   
   I would recommend this book for anybody who is looking to work with JPA.



4. This book is a joy to read. Object relational mapping is explained in a very simple manner. What I like about this book is that it explains a certain concept and then immediately talk about the specific use-cases when that concept/design may not be the best choice. The authors then give excellent suggestions and alternatives.
   
   Very good reading material, simple examples used to explain complicated concepts. Writing style of the authors is also very engaging.
   
   A very good buy.



5. This books seems to achieve the goal it has in mind, that of providing the user with the information necessary to use the Java Persistence API. Unfortunately there are real problems in the execution of this book.
   
   A book like this should not only be full of examples, but it should be structured in such a way that it is easy for someone using the book to duplicate the examples on their own system. This book fails to do so.
   
   In chapter two we are promised a complete application using the new API by the end of the chapter. The source code is provided for the application discussed and it is a pretty good example of the API discussed up to that point. Unfortunately there isn't enough information for the reader to build and run the application on their own computer. There is no reason for this kind of omission this early in the book.
   
   The problems with the book continue as one moves on. I recognize that the target audience for this book includes only professional programmers of reasonable skill. I consider myself a very good Java programmer. That doesn't mean that I want to waste my time filling in gaps that should have been covered by a book I already spent my money on. It isn't any excuse for the omissions in this book.

5 comments about Murach's OS/390 and z/OS JCL.

1. My job requires me to write scripts on Windows and Unix platforms. I have no problem writing Windows batch files or Unix shell scripts to copy or move files, change permissions, create and delete directories, write results to log files, etc.
   
   Recently, I was asked to write a mainframe script. I was told to write this script in Rexx. When I looked into Rexx, it was just another scripting language. It was not hard to understand how it worked. However, unlike Windows batch files or Unix shell scripts, there was more to writing a Rexx program than just knowing the Rexx language - I needed JCL to run it!! I had seen JCL before. I knew each job started with a JOB card and that it executed PROCs and PGMs. I also knew that I did not know nearly enough about JCL to write JCL to do what I wanted it to do. That's when I went to Amazon and found this book.
   
   Not only did this book confirm what little I did know and correct some misundertandings I had, it went far more deeply into JCL to describe how to use many features that I did not know existed. One of the best features of this book is that it provides some background information on how mainframes work and the naming conventions used. This information is useful when JCL coding is introduced because the reader has a better idea of what the JCL is used for and what it happening with the various statements. JCL coding is not even introduced until Chapter 4!!
   
   After the background information, this book then goes through the various aspects of JCL coding. The basics of what I needed to know to run my Rexx program were addressed as were many concepts that I can now put in my "bag of tricks" for future projects. I am sure most of our mainframe programmers do not know most of this material.
   
   This book is not limited to JCL. It also describes how to compile Cobol programs, how to copy, move, sort, delete and print datasets using common mainframe utilities. It even has a chapter on Unix System Services. Prior to reading these chapters, I had no idea how to copy a dataset to a new dataset on the mainframe using a batch program. For me, this was a trivial issue on a Windows or Unix platform. I now know how to do it on the mainframe. This book clearly explains the process. It also provides coding examples for all concepts described throughout the book.
   
   If you are new to computing, I don't think you want to start with the mainframe as the first platform you learn. However, if you have some computing background from working with Windows and Unix, then I highly recommend this book to get a solid foundation on how to run batch programs on the mainframe.
   
   In the past, I had to ask a coworker to help me when I needed to work with JCL. I purchased this book so that I could code some JCL for myself to run my Rexx program. Now, not only does my Rexx program execute flawlessly, I also have a thorough understanding of how to write mainframe batch programs for future projects. Who knows, maybe my coworkers will start coming to me with their complex JCL coding problems!!



2. This book is a tremendous reference resource for anyone who works in the IBM mainframe environment, especially for those who don't work with JCL on a daily basis or for those seldom-used tasks for which you may not have any "canned" JCL readily available. I strongly recommend this book as an invaluable JCL reference document.



3. I must agree with the others reviews. This book is an invaluable resource that will save your time reading those boring, 1000-page, IBM Redbooks. It gives a nice introduction on IBM Mainframes, operating system concepts, as well mastering JCL skills. After reading this book you will feel more confident to go deeply into the IBM documentation and learn the extra skills needed to your area (databases, networking, programming, etc.).



4. Good reference book, I have it by my desk and use it often.
   
   I wish it had some info on FTP, may be next release.



5. This book is excellently written; clear, concise, and easy to understand. With examples on the opposite page of the text, it is very easy to follow and comprehend. It can easily read front to back or as a reference, it not only clearly explains what, but how and why. I've worked with JCL and mainframes for over 20 years and would strongly recommend this book for beginners or experienced professionals. I keep a well-thumbed, heavily highlighed, tabbed copy in my cube at all times. Keep in mind, this book is updated as dp systems are updated, so don't get the earlier editions (ie, the Second Edition in the gray and black cover) which are obsolete. You only need one book on JCL - this one is it.

5 comments about .NET and COM: The Complete Interoperability Guide Parts A and B.

1. This book has been an invaluble resource on a .NET/COM interop project I've been working on. Don Box's quote on the cover sums up the title nicely, "This is the last book that should be written about COM programming. There is nothing left to say."
   
   Since I'm a published author myself, I first bought a book on this topic from my publisher Microsoft Press. While accurate, it left a lot to desire. Very little advanced information was provided. However, this title from Adam Nathan's and Sams Publishing leaves nothing out, including extensive references.
   
   If you are working with COM objects from .NET, or vice-versa, this book will be an excellent resource.



2. Never one to skimp on books, I ordered three with almost exactly the same title on COM/.NET Interop when I needed some information on the subject. Adam Nathan's book is by far my favorite. I've never found an answer in another book that wasn't in Nathan's (and have found many in his that I didn't find anywhere else).
   
   It seems like this book isn't as easy to get on amazon as it once was--a pity, because it's the first (and maybe only) Interop book you'll need. Maybe he'll come out with another edition as .NET changes...



3. I read Troelsen's book on COM/.NET interroperability. This two volume set easily exceeds in content. Both books provide valuable information that I use regularly in developing .NET solutions that use COM as clients and servers. If I had to have only one selection, I would choose these books (Adam Nathan's) for the extensive content.



4. My co-worker had a previous edition of this book (now set) and it was the bible for any question regarding .Net/COM interop. When he left the company and took the book with him I was sad. Now it's back in print, however, and happy days are here again.
   
   I'm not going to pretend that I'm a COM God; I'm mostly a desktop .Net component developer who has to expose the component to both managed and unmanaged (COM) clients. This book was invaluable for walking us through some of the trickier steps of integrating our new component with the main client (QuickBooks accounting software) in a way that supported new version deployment and backwards compatibility.
   
   The way that Nathan describes best practices for exposing managed libraries to COM is clear and concise (as much as you can be when talking about COM, I suppose). It directly led to several utilities and build steps we added in order to create better components.
   
   I highly recommend this book set.



5. This product requires some knowledge and experience in coding with .NET and in Visual Studio but it contains all you need to know about the interoperability of .NET and COM. Many hints, detailed information and examples are included and guide through the interoperability of managed and unmanaged components.

5 comments about AIX 5L Administration.

1. I found this book to be both comprehensive and well written. It was recommended to me by a very experienced AIX user. I am much less experienced, but I also found the book very helpful- it has a good mix of information, and is presented in a logical, well formatted way.



2. This is a great book. It is very informative and very useful.



3. The book is written well but I was left disappointed. I'm an experienced Solaris Admin, so I mainly wanted to see the differences between the two. I feel that the book could of basically been condensed into one sentence. "Use smit for almost everything." Most of the book is just guidance through the smit menu's or explaining technical principals like the differences between RAID levels or Power 4 vs Power 5. I feel that I've got more out of the IBM Red books and can't recommend this book to anyone but beginners who need the extra guidance through SMIT or basic concepts like RAID.



4. The book presents an excellent systematic presentation of AIX
   administration. It is written in a refreshing style that is not found in
   typical AIX documentation.



5. I work at a place that uses AIX extensively. I was hoping to be able to learn as much as I could from this book to help with system administration duties in my company, but so far I've learned...ZIPPY! The book seems to assume that I've been administering UNIX since I started walking. If you are a beginner to UNIX do not get this book to learn. This being said, can anyone recommend a book for a beginning Unix System Administrator? I've been in the Windows world for 10 years, so I am familiar with things like the OSI model, FDDI, file systems, FTP servers, you know, computer stuff. I just want to become a UNIX guru to be able to help. I don't need to have my hand held for every little computer concept.

1 comments about The Game Design Reader: A Rules of Play Anthology.

1. Curious minds that have delighted in games will love this book! I adored the compilation of shared thoughts from "Who's Who" in game design. Aesthetically, the book is so cute! My copy sits on my coffee table. The book had me at the cover...

5 comments about Programming Microsoft Windows Forms (Pro Developer).

1. This is hands down the most clearly-written explanation of programing windows forms using C# that I have read or seen on the market. Petzold has an easy and engaging writing style. He takes the time to explain the WHAT and the WHY of what you are doing. This is a great book for someone just sitting down to Visual Studio 2005 to begin learning C# programming. His examples and walkthroughs produce useful and functioning examples of the most common aspects of Win Form programming. My only complaint is that he can only dedicate a chapter to some pretty key concepts, like data-binding. My interest is piqued, and then the chapter ends and we move on to new concepts. This is a small complaint because what he does provide is complete and enlightening. It provides a solid foundation to build off of create your own experiments.
   
   I have worked through many programming books over the years (or should I say attempted to). The Step-by-Step guides always leave me wanting more answers about how things work, in addition to how to make it work, and seem to be pretty superficial. This book has left me anxious to read more of Petzold's work. He has skillfully broken through my thick head and can do the same for you.



2. I wanted to do some windows programming in C#, bougt a lot of books but found this the only one that really helped.



3. This book is, as the author explains, done in Petzold style. Meaning it is shown with the code behind the GUI tools instead of being done with the tools. Unfortunately any forms which are built with code cannot then be manipulated with the GUI tools which defeats the intention of the makers of Visual Studio as a Rapid Application Developement (RAD) tool.
   
   If all you have however is the compiler and a text editor then this book is for you but since Visual C# is freely available you can write some nifty applications without needing to know how to invoke the compiler from the command line.
   
   Still, there are some things in this book which are helpful to know and the GUI tools, on occasion, don't exactly fit the bill. So it's nice to know what the code behind the GUI is doing but you'll soon be forgetting most of what you learn because you'll be using the GUI tools.
   
   I would much rather have had a book which shows how to use the GUI tools more effectively than what the code does.

4. This book is a good updated to his first book on programming forms in C# 1.1. There have been alot of useful changes from C# 1.1 to 2.0. I just wish he would rewrite the first book with the 2.0 updates instead.



5. Programming Microsoft Windows Forms is a great introduction into windows forms. It takes the magic out of windows programming by showing how to do everything from scratch, which, with windows forms, turns out to be pretty easy.
   
   I haven't programmed for windows since MFC, COM, and Visual Studio 6 were considered new. Windows forms makes a lot of the tasks that used to be tedious easy and Petzold as always is very easy to follow.
   
   Although this book is not an introduction into C#, it is easy to pick up assuming you already know some other languages like C++ or Java. I didn't know any C# before I started reading this book and already feel comfortable with it.
   
   One thing to note is that this book covers .NET 2.0 and the current version (as of April 2008) is .NET 3.5. However, I haven't had any problems compiling the example code using Visual C# 2008 Express Edition.

5 comments about OpenOffice.org for Dummies.

1. We are a company that pride our selves on being cutting edge, if not bleeding edge with open source software solutions. We had used MS office for years but as OOo has gotten more advanced we
   started migrating over to it as a great alternative.One of my main job duties here is actually the OOo expert. I field any questions, do training, and I am basically the PR front for our now 800 users. I just ordered 20 copies of your book so I can lend them out to users with concerns and questions. It is a great book and a terrific resource for our organization.



2. The book covers the major aspects of the software suite, but it really doesn't get into the details of the programs. For that, I recommend a Dummies book on the Microsoft version, since they don't have an in-depth book on the OpenOffice.org version of the software applications. For what it is, an overview of the suite, it is very good. I highly recommend it as a fantastic starting point. I paid a paltry $7 for the book, delivered. How can you go wrong with a price like that? Truth be told, I believe it would have been worth the cover price of $24.99. It is an excellent book to start with, but you'll want to dig deeper after you make it through this book. I hope the authors will consider making full-blown Dummies books for Impress/Presentation, and Calc/Spreadsheet, and the Writer/Text Document applications, too.
   
   I highly recommend OpenOffice.org to all non-profit organizations, as well as for-profit companies: save yourselves $200-$500, per computer, along with the upgrade/compatibility issues, and dump Microsoft. You will be glad you did. Cheers!



3. Pretty much of a getting started but does talk about many important points.
   Though I am very skilled in Excel, Open office is still irritating.
   I would buy it again.



4. All supplied material for review of this book said it was new and up to date but did not give the version number of Open Office that was covered. When I received the book I was frustrated and well into it when I found it was for version 1.1. The Open Office I have is 2.2. The data base portion is not even mentioned in this book. I found that I wasted a lot of time. If any of these books do not show the version number of the program they are working with I would not buy them!



5. Best book on the subject but spends a lot of time on stuff 90% of us will never use.

4 comments about Oracle SQL Tuning Pocket Reference.

1. Yesterday, I saw this pocket book, then I decide to buy it because...
   * Clear clarification on which optimizer (cost-based and rule- based) is used for a specific situation and its problems.
   * Sorts, indexes, IN/EXISTS, OR/UNION, Loop, joins with tables...etc related performance issues and rating , giving a reader a reminder on the criteria to write a well-performed SQL.
   * What is bad SQL?How to use SQL Hints?
   * How to analyze table with DBMS_STATS package?
   * How to pre-define outline for your execution plan ?

   I have bought DBA checklist and Oracle with UNIX, they are my nice partners as well. Haha...I still remember I deal with a staging database problem in my work, I cannot find a solution from a THICK and HEAVY book but from them.

   If you need handy guides, pocket references are excellent and light, haha...I want to buy RMAN reference later :D, they seem a series of fiction.




2. This is the best book I've seen for tuning Oracle SQL.
   It is well written, up to date (includes 9i info), and full of examples and real world experiences. All packed into 100 little pages!
   Many of the Oracle books I've purchased (especially the tuning references) are just sitting on the shelf collecting dust. They're too big, and filled with a lot of 'dead weight'. I've already read this pocket reference twice (it's suprising how much more of it 'sticks' the second time around) and gathered more useful knowledge than all my other sql tuning books combined.
   I know this is called a pocket reference simply because of it's size, but it's really more of an instructional manual than just a reference.
   Every Oracle developer and DBA should read this book ...at least twice.



3. Purchased a few years ago, this little guide has provided the best return on investment when compared to more bulky works on the subject of Oracle database tuning. The word "reference" was probably chosen over the word "guide" in the title of this book because the former would seem to imply usage solely for quick lookups on various related subjects. However, this work is really a step-by-step primer that can be used alongside online Oracle database reference manuals. Because this book is so short, it can be digested in a matter of hours. During such a short time period, the reader is exposed to topics ranging from Oracle rules-based and cost-based optimization to database statistics gathering and SQL hints. And all this information is presented in a practical manner that includes many examples that will help the reader start off on the right path.



4. I typically like these little pocket reference books from O'Reilly and this one is no exception. However, this is more than just a reference, it's a nice primer on Oracle SQL tuning. It's a pretty safe bet that you'll get your $10 worth out of this book pretty quickly.

5 comments about Web Sites Do-It-Yourself For Dummies (Do-It-Yourself for Dummies).

1. I am a photographer who has put off building a website because I simply didn't know where to start and I can't afford to hire consultants to set one up for me. I finally got a basic website up and running using the free Jalbum templates until I can build a fully custom and comprehensive website of my own. I bought this book because it looked like it would be useful in helping me achieve that goal but it has turned out to be a disappointment. Although Janine Warner explains things very well so that even a newbie can understand what she is saying, the book itself will not give you the information that you need to build your own website unless you have Dreamweaver. This book should really be called "A Basic Introduction to Dreamweaver for Dummies" because the heart of the book assumes that you have that application program. I don't have it and I don't know if I will ever get it or even want it. But even if I had Dreamweaver, there's a problem because the author tells you that the book is not intended to give comprehensive information about Dreamweaver either and that you should buy her book on Dreamweaver for that.
   
   HTML? It mentions HTML in passing but, again, it tells you to get an HTML book if you need to know more about that subject. Same with CSS, etc. So this book is really just a overview of website building for people who have Dreamweaver but if someone had Dreamweaver, they would be better off buying a much more comprehensive book on that subject.
   
   The book does have some useful general information about getting a domain name, hosting service, etc., but even that is very limited and and you can find even better information for free with a simple Internet search. In short, this book has very little information about actually building a website without Dreamweaver and it doesn't have much information about building one WITH Dreamweaver.
   
   For some reason, it also has a chapter on building Podcasts. I didn't read that chapter because I bought this book to help me build a website, not a Podcast. As far as I'm concerned, that's an entirely different topic and it wastes more space in this book that could be used to go into HTML and other more relevant subjects. If I wanted a book on building Podcasts, I would buy one. I have no idea why the author included a chapter on building Podcasts in a book supposedly about building websites unless she also sells an expensive DVD course or book on that subject as well. It almost seems like the author made an effort to avoid offering solid and useful information about actually building a website and that she got side-tracked onto unrelated subjects.
   
   This book also goes into editing pictures with Photoshop Elements. In my opinion, that's just wasting even more space on off-topic information because picture editing is another totally different topic. And, like Dreamweaver, the information she gives about PS Elements is very minimal so one would have to buy another book about PS Elements if they want to know more. Janine may sell a book or DVD course on Elements too. I use Photoshop CS myself so I just ignored her PS Elements stuff but that meant yet another chunk of the book was wasted. I would have liked to see more information on HTML in its place. Of course, you do have to know how to edit and optimize pictures for most websites but, again, that is another topic for another book. A book on building websites should ideally stick with building websites, not basic picture editing using a program that most people probably don't even have.
   
   If you go to the author's website, you begin understand what the real purpose of this book may be. She sells many expensive DVD courses that, supposedly, actually teach you what this book should have taught you but doesn't. It almost seems like the purpose of this book is to get you to buy Janine's other books and DVD courses, not teach you how to do what the title suggests it should do.
   
   I also noticed numerous errors in the text, which seems odd because in the beginning of the book, Janine mentions several times how important it is to edit and proof-read things. Here's just one example: On page 56 in the paragraph numbered "4," when discussing image optimization, Janine writes, "Notice that the size is reduced from 1.59MB to 407MB." She meant to write 407KB, of course. Errors like this are not a big deal but they could potentially confuse someone who didn't know any better and was trying to follow along. I noticed quite a few of that type of error and there were probably some that I didn't notice. But this type of book is short-lived and readers can generally expect rather poor editing and proof-reading so this can be excused. However, with a technical subject, it could cause problems for the reader. If Janine herself had simply taken an hour or two and proof-read the book, she would have caught those errors.
   
   One other thing: At the beginning of the book, the author strongly advises the reader to NOT try to build a website alone. She goes on to talk about building task lists and time-lines for your team. She suggests that your team include various experts and consultants in different aspects of website building. But if you have a team of experts and consultants, you would have no need for this book. Most people who would buy this book are probably working alone and trying to build their first website. So one of the very first premises of this book is flawed and that may help to explain some of its other shortcomings. It's as if the author wasn't clear about what her own goals were with this book or whom she was writing it for, which is ironic since she makes a big point about the importance defining your goals and targeting the audience you want to reach. Clearly, the author didn't take her own advice with this book. The book gives you a small amount of information on many topics but not enough to really get you going and the reader may not be able to use much of it anyway unless they have Dreamweaver.
   
   That said, I did learn a little from the introductory chapters about various things that one needs to know to plan a website but most of that was common sense information and readily available for free. The book functioned for me as a kind of primer but it definitely does not give me the information I need to get my website up and running. Now I have to resume my search to find a book that actually does teach one how to build a website and which makes no assumptions about what software applications one has.



2. What a beautiful book. I love the colorful web designs -- and the templates made it so easy to create my own site. It was so helpful to have a book that covered everything from planning my site to building the pages to uploading it to an ISP. You even helped me find the perfect domain name.



3. I've always loved Janine Warner's books, because she has made web design easy, fun, and clearly understandable.
   
   What I like about this book is that it's designed for people like me - who want to get going NOW - but don't want to learn all of the technical details of Web design. It uses Dreamweaver but it doesn't reiterate everything I learned in Janine's Dreamweaver for Dummies book. Instead, you download templates from the companion web site she kindly supplies (you find the address in the book). From there I was able to get just enough instructions to use Dreamweaver to customize the templates for my own site, changing the design as much or little as I liked.
   
   Cool huh?
   
   The book also covers how to edit and create images in Photoshop Elements, and includes images for banners and buttons and stuff in the templates, as well as instructions on how to edit those for your own designs. All in all - very useful stuff.
   
   It also includes something I never thought I'd use - how to create a Podcast, plus a chapter on blogging.
   
   I also love Janine's books because they covers things many web design books don't cover, like how to register a domain name and choose a service provider, as well as how to plan and organize a Web site before you even get started. She even gives a few tips about marketing a site after it's published.
   
   Thanks and keep 'em coming, Janine!



4. I found the book quite helpful for a novice like me. The templates made it easy to create my website. Keeping the navigation elements consistent was a pain until I learned about templates, and I was able to change the colors and fonts in the templates to make the design more my own. I appreciated the help with editing and creating images in Photoshop Elements, which felt way beyond me but actually wasn't when I followed the instructions in the book. Also, the author explained some things that many books assumed I already knew, such as how to register a domain name and choose a service provider.



5. This was a great resource. I had no experience creating a website and this book walked me through it. My web site is now up and running and I am working on my second site. I highly recommend this book to anyone starting a business website or any website for that matter.
