books by Martin C. Brown     books:       Perl: Annotated Archives5 reviews Martin C. Brown Mcgraw-Hill Osborne Media, 1999 An essential book for all Perl users and teachers There are many ways to learn a programming language but only a few yield positive results. One of the most effective solutions is to learn how to use a particular language to solve real-world problems, and this is precisely the approach that Martin C. Brown chose to help the reader of his excellent Perl Annotated Archives book learn the language that powers hundreds of thousands of Internet ...             Perl! I Didn't Know You Could Do That (I Didnt Know You Could Do That)2 reviews Martin C. Brown Sybex Inc, 2000 It's nice to know someone has been there before! I'm familiar with Perl, but I'm no Perl guru. For me, the book had a lot of new material in it, including two items (XML::Parser and Archive::Tar) that I really wanted but didn't even know I should be looking for. It is full of twists and tricks for UNIX/Linux and Microsoft versions of Perl (can't comment on Macs as I'm not a Mac user), although it does not always make it clear whether a utility ...             PERL11 reviews Martin C. Brown Osborne Publishing, 1999 great information:price ratio I actually found this book in a bookstore while looking for Programming Perl. This book has an excellent reference section, with in-depth descriptions on everything. It is very well formatted. I don't know how good it is to learn from, but if you want a quick lookup reference this book is for you. Programming Perl provides the same information, but costs about $50.             XML Processing with Perl, Python, and PHP2 reviews Martin C. Brown Sybex Inc, 2001 A must have book XML is not so difficult, but when coping with Perl or PHP, you need something to tell you exactly HOW to do that. Add to this Python, a very well written book, and you get Martin C. Brown's book. I think that if you're really serious into programming XML with Python and Perl, you absolutely must have this book.             Debugging Perl: Troubleshooting for Programmers3 reviews Martin C. Brown, 2000 It's about time... After a countless number of Perl books have been published, not much has been published like this book. The Learning Perl books are great, but learning the syntax isn't always the needed information to programmers. This book is different in that it focuses on some of the quirky odd things that you may run into programming. After designing in Perl for 3 years, I still run into times the code ...             Managing Information Technology (4th Edition)9 reviews E. Wainright E. Martin, Carol V Brown, ... Prentice Hall, 2002 USEFUL REFERENCE TOOL I am finding this book as an extremely useful reference tool for writing my senior thesis at Rutgers University (NJ) on the Internet and B2B transactions. I find it very easy to read and useful, and some of the case studies are very interesting and helpful. Some of the other buyers don't seem to think the book is worth its price but I STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH THEM. I believe the book is worth ...             iMac FYI: Get More From Your Mac: Your Q and A Guide to the iMac (Fyi)1 review Martin C. Brown Musk and Lipman Publishing, 2000 FYI and IMHO, a must-buy for all iMac owners First of all let me confess to some insider knowledge of the author. A few years ago I worked in an internet and marketing communications agency alongside a certain Martin C Brown. By day he provided both high-level IT consultancy (Mac, PC, Unix et al) and ground-level Mac and systems support to a mixed bag of Mac users - ranging from 'Power Users' to 'Just Plain Dumb Users'. By night he was ...             Microsoft IIS 6 Delta Guide (Special Edition Using)2 reviews Don Jones, Martin C. Brown Sams, 2003 Excellent, to the point guide for understanding IIS 6.0 If you want to learn IIS 6.0 architect and how it differ from IIS 5.0 in detail than this is the book for you. It's very concise (but does not miss any details), and to-the-point presented in very interesting manner that you may want to read it full in one sitting and amazingly you can. Positives are: Cheap, light, handy, almost 350 pages, presented very clearly and concisely. Covers all or more ...             The Jewish Gardening Cookbook: Growing Plants and Cooking for Holidays and Festivals2 reviews Michael P. Brown Jewish Lights Publishing, 2001 Great book! This is a great book for home gardeners who want to expand their garden to include some "jewish" plants. The book explains how each plant fits in with jewish history and customs. It also tells you how to care for the plants!             Practical Switching Power Supply Design (Academic Press Professional and Technical Series)2 reviews Martin C. Brown Academic Press, 1990 snubber circuit for IGBT I want read snubber circuit For IGBT             Perl to Python Migration3 reviews Martin C. Brown Addison-Wesley Professional, 2001 Very good language cross reference I'm an avid Perl programmer who's wanted to do more with Python, but never seem to have the time to actually _do_ something in Python because I run out of time and end up doing it in Perl. This book has helped me get over that hurdle by providing a useful cross reference, so if you want to do X in Perl (with a perl code example that looks very typical), do Y in Python (with a plausible code ...             Hacking GoogleMaps and GoogleEarth5 reviews Wiley, 2006 Already out of date, but still worth the read Although I really enjoy this book, it's too bad that it's already out of date (as mentioned in other reviews). As someone with very little previous experience with JavaScript, I found this book to be really helpful it describing how to make stuff happen. I personally have found the Google Maps API Documentation to be far too terse and difficult to figure out; kinda like reading a dictionary ...             Beos Porting UNIX Applications2 reviews Martin C. Brown Morgan Kaufmann, 1998 Excellent book, a must have for any serious porter. I was very impressed with this book. It explains almost everything what is needed to know to port Unix/posix applications to BeOS. The title is somewhat misleading though, this book would be useful for anybody who is interesting in writing applications for BeOS. The differences between Un*x and BeOS makefiles, C, C++, system layouts and standard headers are covered. Also configuration scripts ...             Python Annotated Archives5 reviews Martin C. Brown Osborne Publishing, 1999 Excellent guide to using Python Every chapter was of interest. Seeing networks and web programming and user interface from the Python perspective helped me evaluate the language as a tool for a particular project I have in mind. The CD-Rom had clear directories and quick install of the language along with the on-line tutorial and other learning aids. I found the type just the right size. Overall a comfortable read. It sold me ...             Python: The Complete Reference1 review McGraw-Hill/OsborneMedia, 2001 Nothing special, just a reference As the title implies, this book is just a reference (covering up to python version 2.0.) The text is understable and provides a central repository of the same material you can get from the official documentation in the web (python.org) The first 140 pages are a tutorial covering the essencials of the language with several samples (these are too trivial in my opinion) following with about 240 ...             ActivePerl Developer's Guide1 review Martin C. Brown Osborne Publishing, 2000 Not a general guide but geared to two specialized audiences Between the covers of this book are two separate books for two, very different audiences: 1) experienced developers who already have mastered PERL in a UNIX environment and need to understand the Windows environment and how to program for it 2) experienced developers who understand the Win32 environment and have developed Windows application using Visual Basic and now want to develop ...             Past Poisons: An Ellis Peters Memorial Anthology of Historic Crime1 review IBooks, Inc., 2005 Unimpressive The name Ellis Peters in the title of the book was clearly meant to lure readers. None of the writers are up to her standards. There is no shame in not being a master but it left me feeling a little cheated. There were a couple of stories that I kinda liked but the rest were forgettable except two were downright yucky. And the tributes to Ellis Peters written by each and every author were so ...              search for books academic, activeperl, annotated, anthology, applications, archives, complete, cookbook, debugging, developer, festivals, gardening, googleearth, googlemaps, historic, holidays, information, managing, memorial, microsoft, migration, practical, processing, professional, programmers, reference, switching, technical, technology, troubleshooting books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
