This manual cleared up a lot of questions I had about Microsoft's FrontPage 2003. Microsoft should be ashamed that they didn't care enough about their users to include this with the program. I'd recommend this to anyone who is having problems understanding FrontPage.             Microsoft Windows 2000: Administrator's Pocket Consultant (It-Administrators Pocket Consultant)23 reviews William R. Stanek Microsoft Press, 2000 2nd edition even better than first I have the first edition and got the second edition immediaetly. With the second edition, Stanek has done a great job! This book is well written, easy to follow and concise, yet packed with lot's of useful information and hints and tips for Windows 2000. I consider myself a fairly expert Windows admin, but still learned quite a lot from this book. Like other Windows books that Stanek has written, ...             The Negative (The New Ansel Adams Photography Series, Book 2)35 reviews Ansel Adams, Robert Baker New York Graphic Society, 1968 An excellent technical reference Concisely written in Adams' own scholarly style, "The Negative" is a valuable resource for photographers learning the foundation of technically correct (as opposed to generally good) base exposure in a variety of scenes, both pedestrian and those that are more conflicting. One must, however, consider that more than 4 decades have passed since the techniques were founded and the technology ...             CLR via C#, Second Edition (Pro Developer)40 reviews Jeffrey Richter Microsoft Press, 2006 Are you a .NET developer? What? You haven't read this book? Possess a driving license? That probably means you know the mechanics that makes cars work. Thereby the skill necessary to ferry ourselves to and from places in daily life. Wait, what has this gotta do with reviewing a technical computing book? Well, you knew incorrect air pressure worsens tyre grip, accelerates wear & tear, and reduces fuel efficient, right? You knew improper engine tuning ...             Programming Microsoft Visual Basic .NET Version 2003 (Pro Developer)28 reviews Francesco Balena Microsoft Press, 2004 Wonderful learning tool and reference This was the first .NET book I purchased, and in many ways if I hadn't bought any others it would have been sufficient. It has thorough coverage of the .NET environment, with lucid code examples in VB.NET. I found the chapters on ADO.NET and the framework internals to be most useful to my job as an ASP.NET developer, but the coverage is deep enough that a person with very little programming ...             Developer's Workshop to COM and ATL 3.052 reviews Andrew Troelsen Wordware Publishing, Inc., 2000 Fantastic book, maybe not for the absolute beginner My current project at work required me to learn COM. I purchased several books to assist in the learning, and I must say that this book is absolutely indispensible, both as an instructional medium and as a reference. I highly recommend this book to anyone needing to learn about COM. What's inside? It starts with a basic intro to COM, useful (dare I say it) for managers as well as the ...             Certified ColdFusion Developer Study Guide26 reviews Ben Forta, Emily B. Kim, ... Pearson Education, 2001 This book is all you will need to pass!! I have been working exclusively in cold fusion for a bit over 1yr. Just when I thought I knew everything there is to know to pass the CF certification test, reading this book was a humbling experience -- I learned something new in every chapter. This book was a quick read, it took about 20 hrs +/- to complete all 38 chapters. By the time I was done with this book, it only took me 25 minutes to ...             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.             Effective Perl Programming: Writing Better Programs with Perl (A-W Developers Press)45 reviews Joseph N. Hall, Randal Schwartz Addison-Wesley Professional, 1998 great book this book is "MUST HAVE" Perl book! It gives you great idea to simply your code and algorithm.             ActionScript : The Definitive Guide67 reviews Colin Moock O'Reilly, 2001 Superb Finally, an actionscript guide that is superb in its production! My hat is off to Colin and Gary for this detail-oriented volume that has cleared the smoke out of my head and has made a programmer out of an artist. Bravo!!!             Bookends20 reviews Liz Curtis Higgs Multnomah Books, 2000 Engaging and Entertaining "Bookends" reveals a talent of the author, Liz Curtiz Higgs, that is nice to find in Christian Romance Novels. The characters are engaging and entertaning. Best of all, you do not have to wait till the end of the story for the main characters to have fun together! In this book the stroyline is creatively weaved with humor, seriousness, and romance, from begining to end. I highly recomend it to ...             C# for Java Developers (Pro-Developer)22 reviews Allen Jones, Adam Freeman Microsoft Press, 2002 Amazing, Just what I was looking for! This was truely an amazing book, I've read many .NET books, all of which assume zero knowledge of programming, or very little. So when I skipped the first few chapters, or skipped them (Since I've been a Java Developer for several years), I missed valuable differences between Java and .NET. Be sure you do know your stuff in Java, or else this book will seem over your head. This is not a beginners ...             Hitchhiker's Guide to SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services (Microsoft Windows Server System Series)16 reviews Peter Blackburn, William R. Vaughn Addison-Wesley Professional, 2004 SQL RS Beyond the basics (and some basics too) If you're a moderately skilled programmer, a self-learner, and you want to get beyond just "getting started" deploying and using Sql Server 2000 Reporting Services, this is the book for you. I especially found the chapters on customized set up extremely helpful. The installation wizard doesn't offer a whole lot of options, and most of teh time you don't know fully how you want to configure it ...             The Tomes of Delphi: Algorithms and Data Structures18 reviews Julian Bucknall Wordware Publishing, 2001 Worth the wait! This is a book that I've been waiting for for a long time (according to the acknowledgements, Julian has worked on it from April 1999 until February 2001, probably even longer). But it has been worth it, because it's an excellent book about algorithms and data structures implemented in Delphi (and Kylix) - usually version independent. The book consists of 12 chapters. But even before the first ...             Understanding DB2(R): Learning Visually with Examples21 reviews Raul F. Chong, Clara Liu, ... IBM Press, 2005 The best DB2 book out there If you have to own one DB2 book (Linux,Unix,Windows) , buy this one. Usually I end up buying 2 books. The first being a book being very visual and easy to read but lacking any real detail and practical knowledge. The second book is usually a scary developers guide which is extremely thorough but requires a PHD to read it, or you end up using it as a reference. This book hits dead on!! ...             The Peebles Principles: Tales and Tactics from an Entrepreneur's Life of Winning Deals, Succeeding in ...19 reviews Wiley, 2007 Loss + Perseverence = Personal Growth Having recently taken a job where I need to understand the complexities of commercial real estate deals, I purchased this book after seeing Mr. Peebles on CNBC's Squawk Box and am glad I did. More than just discussing the technical aspects of the deals, the stories of the downsides were particularly riveting -- a side of the journey that you'll rarely hear from most successsful business people. ...             The Book of VB .NET: .NET Insight for VB Developers16 reviews Matthew MacDonald No Starch Press, 2002 An absolute must for the VB Programmer I have been programming in VB since 1992 and decided to move to VB.NET when it was released but found the learning curve was immense - until I bought the book of VB.NET. This book is my Bible, it sits besides my computer all the time. Without delving into the VB language, it simplifies the transition to VB.NET for the experienced VB Programmer. It's not for VB learners nor does Matthew propose ...             SQL/400 Developer's Guide18 reviews Paul Conte, Mike Cravitz 29th Street Press, 2000 SQL for the 400/iSeries Cool! SQL the standard for data access is now presented in a AS400/iSeries user format. The differences that exist for the DB2/400 user are minor but significant enough to warrant 500 pages plus. Conte and Cravitz flood the text with real working examples that hit homeruns with the IBM midrange user. Yet, minus the sprinkling of RPG/ILE & Cobol code any DB2 user would find the text extremely ...             Visual C# 2005: A Developer's Notebook17 reviews Jesse Liberty O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2005 Surprised I just borrowed this book from the library as I'm trying to cut down and only buy true reference books. I didn't have a whole lot of expectations, but this book was exactly what the doctor ordered. I knew C# for VS.NET 1.1 and am gradually migrating to 2.0 and all of it's extra features. I just wanted a book that covered the new stuff... and could come as close to just injecting the information ...             Access 2002 Developer's Handbook Set18 reviews Paul Litwin, Ken Getz, ... Sybex, 2002 A Must Have for Serious Access Developers If you are just a beginer you might find parts of the Developer's Handbook set difficult to understand, but as you enhance your skillsets you will find these to be a must have. For a serious Access Developer these books are a definitely a must have. I've written in-house applications for years since Access 2.0. Now, I'm writing commercial applications using Access 2002 and the Developer's ...              search for books actionscript, administrator, administrators, algorithms, certified, coldfusion, consultant, definitive, developer, developers, effective, entrepreneur, frontpage, handbook, hitchhiker, it-administrators, microsoft, negative, notebook, photography, principles, pro-developer, programming, programs, reporting, services, structures, succeeding, understanding, workshop books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
