Apress, 2005 Excellent Book for new and experienced PHP programmers I normally don't write reviews unless I had a bad experience. However, in this case, the PHP 5 Recipes book is an exception! I love this book! The examples are CORRECT!! The information I need is very well organized - I really love the way that the book was organized! I wish all of my tech books for other languages were arranged in this problem-solution manner. The information you need to ...             HTML 4.01 Programmer's Reference3 reviews Chris Ullman, Sean Palmer, ... Wrox Press, 2001 I am surprised no one has yet post a review for this one.... Honestly, I just got the book today. But guess what, I've been glued to my desk for 5 hours by now... First of all, if you know what it feels like to have ALL of your questions answered regarding the webpage you're working on then you know how I feel right now. This book is every bit competent as it was written to be - an html "reference." I am no newbie in html but still, I like how the ...             If He Lived1 review Jon Stephen Fink Jonathan Cape, 1997 Heart breaking ghost, not spooky one Beautifully written story that focusses on a middle aged couple living a predictable and passionless life.

This notable book is a compilation of stories based on the life of an extended family living on a Maine farm in the mid 19th century. It gives a rare glimpse into life at that time. Our family felt that it was in the same league as the Little Britches and Little House series. It's a great book for outloud family reading.             Epic: Stories of Survival From The World's Highest Peaks (The Adrenaline Series)14 reviews Greg Child, Jon Krakauer, ...

JTC Sports, Inc., 1997 Inspirational, touching, and worthwhile! Michelle's story is one of courage and determination. Soccer fans in particular will be interested in what she has to say, but even those who don't appreciate the sport should be touched by what she's endured. I especially enjoyed her teammates' input and the humorous stories about their time spent together. I'm a big fan of the Women's National Soccer Team in general and really ...             Professional PHP4 Web Development Solutions10 reviews Luis Argerich, Alison Gianotto, ... Wrox Press, 2002 A Promise I simply enjoyed this book and all the solutions presented in it. I had earlier mastered PHP from reading "Beginning PHP4" and "Professional PHP4" from the same publisher, and this book was a natural choice to make.

The authors don't waste time, straight to the meat; the book is actually full of well-explained code listings. The sample applications use ASP/SQL server and PHP/MySQL, but a lot of material is still relevant for other technologies, especially the coverage of database design, but also usability, interfaces and workflow BTW ...             Further Adventures5 reviews Jon Stephen Fink St Martins Pr, 1993 A brilliant story of a complete innocent a la Quixote I love this story! Ray Green, the central character, is a brilliant amalgam of innocence, humor, and truth-seeker. Mr. Fink's writing style is ground-breaking, deleriously funny, and deeply touching as Ray Green's personality is brought to life immediately with a letter to the reader. The reader is at once drawn in by Mr. Green's narration - his speech patterns reminescent of eastern European ...             MySQL 5.1 Cluster DBA Certification Study Guide1 review Jon Stephens, Mike Kruckenberg, ... Lulu Enterprises, UK Ltd, 2007 The comprehensive guide This is the comprehensive guide to the MySQL 5.1 Cluster Certification. The book is well formatted, written, and provides lots of guidelines that are hard to pick up by just RTFM-ing the manuals.

The authors plow straight into giving good tips for better table design. For example, the first chapter covers MySQL basics. But it furnishes very understandable advice. Like never using spaces in identifier names. While MySQL permits this, it greatly increases chances of logic errors. Later in ...             Elements of Cartography6 reviews Arthur H. Robinson, Joel L. Morrison, ... Wiley, 1995 Still recognized as an important text The sixth edition of "Elements" was published in 1995, and reviewers familiar with the advances in cartographic technology would be familiar with the great upheaval the field was going through at that time. Work on a seventh edition of this seminal text is currently underway, which should bring the content of the book up to par with recent changes. The book remains an important source of ...             Usable Forms for the Web5 reviews Jon Stephens, Andy Beaumont, ...

Sunstone Press, 2008 I enjoyed this book. The Mesilla Valley: An Oasis in the Desert (New Mexico Centennial History Series) This book was a refreshing recap of some of the events that molded the Mesilla Valley area.

I enjoyed it!             Professional XML Schemas7 reviews Jon Duckett, Nik Ozu, ... Wrox Press, 2001 Documents vs Data This book is worth the price for its discussion of modeling documents vs modeling data. Coming from the document world, I have found relational database types have a hard time understanding the "model" of a document schema. This book explains the document analysis process concisely, but clearly. If you work in a place that is trying to bring the document and database worlds closer together, ...             The Norton Anthology of English Literature, Volumes D-F: The Romantic Period through the Twentieth Century ...3 reviews W. W. Norton, 2005 Excellent Resource I ordered this book for my literature studies and it is an excellent resource or English poetry, prose and literature.

Aspen Publishers, 2002 As former construction scheduler... ...who later became a construction lawyer, I cannot recommend this book highly enough. This book was written by pioneers in both fields and merges them very well. No, its not exactly 'beach reading,' but I particularly liked the ethical aspects that were discussed. Its a very practical book, outlining the cases in logical order and explaining the scheduling process with just the right level ...             The New Capitalists: How Citizen Investors Are Reshaping the Corporate Agenda3 reviews Stephen Davis, Jon Lukomnik, ...

Apress, 1997 No other books have the value of this one. I work as a Web Programmer since 1997, mainly dealing with Internet Explorer. There are few references covering Document Object Model and DHTML - The only one is MSDN. I bought this book in 1997 and still I am keeping this just beside me in my office. Though lacking up-to-date information, the overall DOM and DHTML scripting have not been changed much and the basics and essentials can be easily ...             I Am America (And So Can You!)428 reviews Stephen Colbert Hachette Audio, 2007 So far so good....
