The book, which measures a mere 8.9 by 6 by 0.8 inches, is both lightweight and highly portable; which is one of the reasons that I decided to purchase a copy. However, it was ultimately the content of the book, and not its compact size, that ...             MySQL Clustering Alex Davies, Harrison Fisk MySQL Press, 2006 Clustering is the final component of MySQL that makes it truly enterprise-level and able to compete fully with proprietary databases such as Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server. The increased number of high-demand, high-productivity corporations and institutions choosing MySQL, including MIT, the Department of Homeland Security, NASA, and Nokia, to name a few, need the benefit of clustering databases for high performance and scalability.   ...             Designing Interactions14 reviews Bill Moggridge The MIT Press, 2007 Must read for any designer, IA, usability professional Outstanding read about the history of how some of the things we use daily were conceptualized and designed. Moggridge interviews some of the coolest and relevant inventors of the modern (technology) era. The book hit a dry spell toward the end but finished strong. As a usability and design professional I found this book to be a good read on perspective, and to read the techniques and ...             The Essential Guide to User Interface Design: An Introduction to GUI Design Principles and Techniques3 reviews Wilbert O. Galitz Wiley, 2007 Useful to understand the why Mr. Galitz's reasons for using design standards and the detailed consequences of poor design are backed up by reasearch. He gives specific recommendations for standards such as typefaces, point size, label and caption styles, etc. He explains and uses a good shorthand throughout the book for items as "signal" versus "noise." This is handy to quickly distinguish between things that are ...             Security and Usability: Designing Secure Systems that People Can Use10 reviews Lorrie Cranor, Simson Garfinkel O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2005 Great for both camps This isn't a typical O'Reilly book, and it's definitely not an "animal" book. I think that's something that's thrown a lot of people for a loop the first time they see this book. That change is good, however, because what O'Reilly has delivered is a book whose contents will stand up much longer and be more useful than most of the books out there on any technical subject, from any publisher. By ...             Data Mining: Concepts and Techniques, Second Edition (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data Management Systems)29 reviews Micheline Kamber Jiawei Han Morgan Kaufmann, 2006 Great book for data mining I bought this book as a text book for data mining. I found this book give a solid introduction to multiple topics and a ready reference. One thing , I found though was a rather superficial treatment of very specific algorithms and a thorough treatment of general ones . Atleast the most popular specific algorithms can be detailed.             Digital Eisenman: An Office of the Electronic era (The Information Technology Revolution in Architecture)2 reviews Luca Galofaro Birkhäuser Basel, 1999 is it worth the fight? This book is so tightly bound you will fear ripping it to shreds just trying to open it. Once open, and it is a struggle, you will be awe-struck at the beautiful reproductions of the near-impossible structures designed by Eisenman. Galofaro cuts the architect's excessively thick theory, asking simply, "how has digital production affected his theory based practice?" As tiny as this book is, it is ...             LPI Linux Certification in a Nutshell (In a Nutshell (O'Reilly))40 reviews Steven Pritchard, Bruno Pessanha, ... O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2006 Great book, but you need additional literature if you want a high score I have just finnished exams 101 (730 points/800) and 102 (740 points/800). Theese seems to be quite good scores, according to the LPI website, and i owe it much to LPI Linux Certification in a Nutshell, 2nd edition. The book is well written, with lots of relevant information if you want to pass the LPI level 1 exams. And even better, its a very nice book to use as reference in system ...             Bioinformatics For Dummies (For Dummies (Math & Science))16 reviews Jean-Michel, Ph. D. Claverie, Cedric, Ph.D. Notredame For Dummies, 2006 Good I am a couple years into a PhD in bioinformatics, but this is the book I started with. I knew some biology and some computer science, but I still found a lot of the databases, etc. confusing and the field has a decided lack of simplified documentation (though it is getting better). Of course, bioinformatics is a pretty broad topic and no book could possibly cover everything. If you do not ...             The Mathematica Book, Fourth Edition16 reviews Stephen Wolfram Cambridge University Press, 1999 Essential to the efficient use of Mathematica Iin terms of speed and functionality, the program Mathematica is the most amazing program I have ever used.

Clark Apress, 2005 I thought I got the shaft, but then discovered the gold. I performed some programming in Visual Basic 6 a few years ago and then my job was changed so that I was maintaining a Unix program for a few years, which entailed putting fires out each day and very little programming of any type. A few months ago I was fortunate enough to get transferred to a great job programming web sites and some Windows applications. I've been able to write some fairly ...             The Object Constraint Language: Getting Your Models Ready for MDA (2nd Edition) (Addison-Wesley Object ...5 reviews Jos Warmer, Anneke Kleppe Addison-Wesley Professional, 2003 Take your Software Engineering Skills to the next level This books thru explanations, clear and concrete examples and a concise case study shows the reader how to take your software engineering skills to the next level.

Larose Wiley-Interscience, 2004 conveys basic ideas The book gives a good introduction to data mining. Larose manages to cover the important techniques used to analyse data and turn it into knowledge. These include neural networks, various types of clustering. Most importantly, perhaps, he discusses how to try various models and how to evaluate the effectiveness of each model. The book's length is insufficient for many readers to actually get ...             Computer Viruses: from theory to applications (Collection IRIS)3 reviews Éric Filiol Springer, 2005 Nothing comparable out there like Filiol's set of books Highly advanced malicious software research is my field. There is simply no other rigorous treatment of computer viruses (the somewhat hard mathematics behind what is a 'virus') in book form on the market today. Lt. Col. Eric Filiol, a Math and CS professor and Research Scientist Officer at the Military Academies of Saint-Cyr (French equivalent of Westpoint), heads the Virology and Cryptology ...             Decision Support in the Data Warehouse (Data Warehousing Institute Series from Prentice Hall Ptr) Hugh J.
