books by Richard Blum     books:       My Wall Street Journal8 reviews Tony Hendra, David Blum, ... New York Press, 2008 Terrific Journal Spoof. Good fun read. Short, Probably a collectible someday, maybe. We'll keep our copy safely preserved, tucked away.             C# Network Programming16 reviews Richard Blum Sybex, 2002 thorough introduction to network programming This is an excellent introduction to network programming. Even if you don't use C#/.NET, you may still want to have a look at this book as it discusses IP programming and techniques from first principles. For example, the book includes an overview of socket programming in the Unix world, then moves on to Winsock specifics before introducing the socket and higher-level classes in .NET. I really ...             Professional Assembly Language (Programmer to Programmer)18 reviews Wrox, 2005 Excellent Book I'd just ditched windows in favor of an Ubuntu system and I wanted to do some assembly language programming. This book was exactly the ticket. The book explores a comprehensive introduction to assembly on Linux. Another reviewer objected to the word "Professional" in the title. Admittedly, this book is not an advanced guide, being aimed instead at those just getting into assembly. But the book ...             Television and Screen Writing: From Concept to Contract5 reviews Richard A. Blum Focal Press, 1995 A Classic Revised Richard Blum's Television and Screen Writing (4th Edition) is a welcome revision of one of the classic books for writers by a professional from within the industry who also happens to be a topnotch screenwriting teacher. It provides a wealth of information that all aspiring TV and screenwriters need. Dr. Blum leads you through the writing process with numerous examples. However, Dr. Blum goes ...             PostgreSQL 8 for Windows1 review McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2007 A good overview I was interested in learning a bit about PostgreSQL, and coming from a SQL Server background on Windows systems, this seemed like a good place to start (I will pick up some more Linux knowledge another day). The book provides a good overview of components and processes, and for someone with experience in other database platforms, the material makes a good bridge. It will probably not provide ...             The 5th Fontana Book of Great Ghost Stories1 review Robert (Edited By) [Richard Blum, John Betjeman, Mrs Oliphant, Jerome K. Jerome, Robert Aickman, Anonymous, ... Aickman Fontana, 1969 "The Swords" & other supernatural stories Throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, Fontana published a remarkable skein of ghost story collections, piloted by R. Aikman and later by R. Chetwynd-Hayes, no mean supernatural authors themselves. Some of the paperbacks in this series, which winds its way up to the "20th Fontana Book of Great Ghost Stories" are now collectors' items and worth over a hundred dollars apiece. Robert Aickman ...             Running qmail11 reviews Richard Blum, Rich Blum Sams, 2000 Great book Don't listen to the nay sayers, this is a good book. It contains all you'll need to know to get qmail installed and running. After reading the first eight chapters I was easily able to get qmail working. This was a big improvement over all the false starts and dead ends from attempting to follow the Internet qmail how-to articles. The author also educates about many of the things that e-mail ...             The Phone Book : Breakthrough Neurolinguistic Phone Skills for Profit and Enlightenment1 review Richard A. Zarro, Peter Blum, ... Metamorphous Press, 1989 Presents little known communication skills/phone as tool Written in an interview/conversational format as a man who earns his living through telephone sales learns how we establish rapport with others, effective communication skills and how to overcome his personal phobia of the telephone, etc. I have given copies of this book to others, who thoroughly enjoyed it and they in turn have also given copies of the book to others. Communication and ...             Network Performance Toolkit: Using Open Source Testing Tools1 review Richard Blum Wiley, 2003 A great tool-oriented tour of network troubleshooting I don't have a lot to say about "Network Performance Open Source Toolkit" (NPOST), other than I think it's excellent. We need more tool-oriented books to teach admins how to do real work on their networks. NPOST delivers chapter after chapter of practical, hands-on material applicable to the networking shop in any organization. NPOST shines in three respects. First, the author ensures ...             The Healing Nutrients Within: Facts, Findings and New Research on Amino Acids9 reviews Eric R. Braverman, Carl C. Pfeiffer, ... Keats Publishing, 1997 Amino healing power The amino acids in the human body are proving to be potent healing substances. This book reveals the findings of research in the 1980s and 1990s on the beneficial role of the aminos in Alzheimer's, cancer, depression, heart conditions, stress and many other disease states. The different amino acids are discussed in chapters according to type: Aromatic, Sulphur, Urea Cycle, Glutamate, Threonine ...             Postfix (Other Sams)15 reviews Richard Blum Sams, 2001 This is a great book Richard Blum writes great books, open source email security and another book I forget, something about network traffic analysis. this is a great book for those sendmail folks fedup with config files :) Feel free to contact me anytime about my other comments I have or info about Postfix itself. I'm a self made user and run my own anti-spam server using postfix/amavis/razor and spam assassin. ...             Linux For Dummies4 reviews For Dummies, 2007 good, but does't meet my expectations Well... I don't want to go in depth too much. The DVD is ok, but it only contains Fedora Core as the item description states. Fedora is ok, but it doesn't contain the mainstream programs such as Gparted (although there is a partitioner, when I became fed up with Linux the partitioner doesn't support NTFS). The reason I didn't keep Fedora is I couldn't get the resolution changed on my X1400 GPU. I ...             sendmail for Linux7 reviews Richard Blum, ANGIE WETHINGTON, ... Sams, 2000 Good book for administrators of small Linux systems. The author is skilled at presenting underlying principles accurately and with a minimum of jargon. He combines a clear treatment of general principles with many examples demonstrating how to configure mail in many different settings. The examples will be especially useful in small organizations or businesses.             Open Source E-mail Security (Kaleidoscope)3 reviews Richard Blum Sams, 2001 Great Intro/how-to on the big three MTAs I really liked this book. It gave a great intro to the different email protocols and the big three MTAs (sendmail,qmail,postfix). I have no postfix experience, but have used both sendmail and qmail. As a matter of fact, I just used this book in conjunction with "The qmail Handbook" by Sill, to switch from sendmail to qmail as an external mail relay. I liked the quick treatment and explaination of ...             Professional Linux Programming (Programmer to Programmer)1 review Jon Masters, Richard Blum Wrox, 2007 Good for beginning... if you know your basics. I bought this book hoping to familiarize myself with some of the more common methods of programming for the Linux system. The book does a fairly good job of explaining the Linux kernel, as well as introducing the basics of OpenGL and SDL for graphics. I felt that the networking section of the book was rather lax in it's discussion of forking servers and handling TCP protocols.
