I have been fortunate enough to work with some of the smartest online marketers in the business, and, to say the very least, most of these people -- especially those in the analytics community -- seem content to ...             Expert One on One Oracle77 reviews Thomas Kyte Peer Information Inc., 2001 Best $12 I ever spent!!! I bought this book on cheap clearance after the original publisher went out of business -- the best $12 I ever invested. Remembering even 10% of this book makes you better than 90% of Oracle developers, modelers and architects. Mr. Kyte's real world experience and reliance on solid examples instead of folklore makes this light-years ahead of any other Oracle book; it's the only Oracle book I ...             Information Technology Control and Audit, Third Edition90 reviews Sandra Senft, Frederick Gallegos Auerbach Publications, 2008 Useful reference material This book has some material relevant to the CISA examination based on the 2003 content areas, although it is not organized or focused as a CISA examination guide. If you are looking for CISA review material for the test, I would strongly suggest to stick with ISACA's combination of review manual and questions CD. I also searched everywhere for study aids for this grueling test and ended up using ...             Routing TCP/IP Volume I (CCIE Professional Development)59 reviews Pearson Education (USA), 2007 A Masterful Book on Routing in the Cisco Environment Routing TCP/IP Volume 1 by Jeff Doyle (ISBN 1578700418) is an advanced level book on the theory and practice of routing and its implementation in Cisco routers.

Although the book contains specific code fragments, it is not a coding book. Rather it is a chronicle of Greenspun's experiences in setting up more than 50 Web sites over the years. This chronicle contains many hard-won lessons that will help prevent the reader from making similar mistakes. Greenspun has an ...             Counter Hack Reloaded: A Step-by-Step Guide to Computer Attacks and Effective Defenses44 reviews Prentice Hall, 2007 On a path to being a Ethical Hacker. This book is absolutely awesome. It's very organized, which is my number one need in a book. It's narrowed down, it's technical, but Ed writes things in a way that just sticks. The way this book starts out is very logical, it's a progression. It starts you off with: -TCP/IP(Which is a must) -Windows Overview(Which is a must) -Unix/Linux Overview(Get the picture?) Then it goes into ...             Internetworking with TCP/IP Vol.1: Principles, Protocols, and Architecture (4th Edition)43 reviews Douglas E. Comer Prentice Hall, 2000 Beginners look no further! I knew nothing about TCP/IP. As a result, I bought a book "learn TCP/IP in 24 hours" and trashed it after I bought this book, no more 24 hour books. I had no idea what routing is and were to start looking for documents on the internet. This book is scientific and puts it all together. Each chapter lists the RFC that he relied on so you know were the stuff came from. The book is not boring; the ...             Access 2000 Developer's Handbook 2 Volume Set37 reviews Paul Litwin, Ken Getz, ... Sybex, 1999 Paid for themselves in a day I am a software developer and have been in business since 1982. I have never gotten more bank for my buck than with these books. I didn't think Access was worth a flip for program development until I bought these books. I have since developed a vertical market package for the seafood industry that sells itself by demo. Thanks Ken, Paul and Mike.             The Code Book: The Evolution of Secrecy from Mary, Queen of Scots to Quantum Cryptography252 reviews Simon Singh Doubleday, 1999 Cryptography 101 As always Simon Singn takes the reader on a fantastic trip through History. Filled with entertaining stories, puzzles and heroic events, the author skillfully covers the history of secret writing. If you liked his coverage of Fermat's Enigma then you will definitely enjoy this book. The prose is capturing, deep enough to fascinate technical readers and light enough to just entertain the casual ...             Hacking Linux Exposed, Second Edition41 reviews Brian Hatch, James Lee McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2002 The best hands-on Linux security book just got better I'm a big fan of the Hacking Exposed style of writing. All offensive theory is backed up by command line examples, followed by defensive countermeasures. Hacking Exposed: Linux, 2nd Ed (HE:L2E) follows this tradition, updating the content of the first edition and adding 200 pages of new content. Although I reviewed the first edition in Sep 01, reading the second edition reminded me of the ...             After Effects Apprentice (DV Expert Series)29 reviews Chris Meyer, Trish Meyer Focal Press, 2007 After Effects - easy ease in Initiation to the steep learning curve for Adobe After Effects is eased considerably by this volume of scaffolded lessons that include extra tips and keyboard shortcuts.             The TCP/IP Guide: A Comprehensive, Illustrated Internet Protocols Reference27 reviews Charles Kozierok No Starch Press, 2005 Best book on TCP/IP ever I bought this book straight from the author two years ago. I has been invaluable to me but then again, I'm pursuing a masters in Information Assurance and before that undergraduate Computer and Information Science. For pros already in the soup, maybe a quick guide would be preferred but I needed to learn everything from scratch (online at that). I also have the Stevens "Bible" but this one ...             Effective Oracle by Design (Osborne ORACLE Press Series)27 reviews Thomas Kyte McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2003 If only all Oracle books were this good This book delivers the clear insight before delving into intricate details on a good selection of topics that are critical to those concerned with deigning and implementating high performance database solutions. My only wish is that this book covered more ground, especially on newer or perhaps peripheral topics such as RAC, ASM, XMLDB, OCI/OCCI, DataGuard and so on.. but maybe that's asking ...             Top-Down Network Design28 reviews Cisco Press, 2008 Measure Twice, Cut Once Like the carpenter, the network designer does well to develop a plan before purchase. The title, Top-Down Network Design, is accurate because the author's key approach throughout the book is to consider what works best for the end user and meet the goals of a Request for Proposal. Priscilla Oppenheimer has presented a well structured textbook that covers every facet of networking in general ...             Oracle 24x7 Tips and Techniques27 reviews Venkat S. Devraj Osborne/McGraw-Hill, 1999 LEARN ABOUT MULTIPLEXING This is the only book I've read that refers to multiplexing and mirring the control file in words you can actually understand! I now understand the impact of both techniques, and I can make a quick decision on how best to use the features. You'll want this book after being exposed to all the other material on Oracle, because then you can appreciate the subject matter. There tends to be a ...             Hack Attacks Encyclopedia: A Complete History of Hacks, Cracks, Phreaks, and Spies over Time34 reviews John Chirillo John Wiley & Sons, 2001 Gain Insight of the Mindset of Hackers, Crackers, Phreakers!
