Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Leopard Edition (Missing Manual)

David Pogue

Pogue Press, 2008

awesome book
I bought this book when I needed a laptop and was trying to decide between a pc and a macbook. The book explained the differences very well so I understood what I was getting and what I was giving up by purchasing a mac. I decided to buy a Macbook and since then, this book has been invaluable. I am not ignorant but I'm far from being a geek and this book is awesome for explaining how to do things ...

Best computer language book I have ever read...period.
Beginning iPhone Development is without a doubt the easiest to read computer language book I've ever read and I've read a lot. I am absolutely flying through the chapters and understand every line of code, mostly due to the style of writing. This book, even in the beginning chapters, not only verified the things I had to learn on my own with the iPhone SDK early on, but gave me the theory and ...

Best Language Explanation I've Ever Seen
I've learned a lot of tech in my time, and this book does the best job explaining the fundamentals of a language that I've ever come across. Flanagan basically builds the whole language piece by piece, explaining the fundamentals of every aspect. There are some more esoteric techniques he doesn't cover, but I hardly consider that a shortcoming; aside from those, he basically covers the entire ...

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Classroom in a Book

More comprehensive than the "Dummies" books.
Adobe has done a very good job with their "Classroom in a Book" series. I purchased The "Dummies" book when I first started learning Photoshop 7. Then I took a college class that used the Adobe book (which is why I bought this book for CS3). Adobes' book covers EVERYTHING you can do with Photoshop, albeit briefly. Just follow the book and you will at least touch on everything the software can do. ...

Garr Reynolds

New Riders Press, 2008

A stress-reliever
A great compilation of basic and simple ideas about public presentation, yet fundamental ones. You may have read about these concepts already (e.g. Made to Stick, slide:ology), but Garr connects them nicely and the zen concept is not only refreshing, it helps alleviating the stress often assotiated with public speaking.

Good and Bad
I've been working through this book since it came out and had to write a review. I'll be short. Pro's: This is one of the first, and for awhile only books on the iPhone SDK available. It is written in a friendly manner, and if you understand Xcode and Object Oriented Programming, you'll do OK.It does cover things more clearly than many of the code SDK snippet sites, and is often better ...

Quickest way to get up and running in Lightroom 2
I had never used Lightroom before in my life.. I wasn't even sure what all it COULD do. I just knew that a lot of people recommended it so I thought I'd give it a try. I installed the software and then stared at it blankly. I had no clue where to begin. I clicked a few buttons but got really lost really fast. I began to wonder if I'd wasted my money. But luckily I'd also picked up Scott ...

Saving Me Time and Making Lightroom a Joy
This book has saved me a ton of time and answered a lot of my questions about iPhoto and I am only about a third of the way through the book so far. It is a real joy. Questions that Apple staff in the local Apple store were unable to answer to my satisfaction are amply covered in this book. While the first section on fundamentals of digital photography is more basic than I need, still I got some ...

This is the book that I have been looking for a long time!!
This is the book that I have been waiting for for a long time. I have been optimizing my photos with photoshop, but it always felt uncomfortable because of a lack of structure. The seven points system allows me to keep a structured approach and my photos look a lot better. What I also like about the book is Scott's writing style which is lively and funny and keeps me reading (usually I get bored ...

All you need....book pays for itself
This book is all you will need to pass this test. The book comes with a CD full of practice questions, which are very similar to the test. The book even comes with a %15 off voucher for the exam....so it basically pays for itself.
