The author, Andrew Troelsen, really knows his stuff, and knows how to teach it. I only wish I'd had his VB 2005/.NET 2.0 book two years ago when I started trying to learn .NET! There's a lot of advanced material in this book, but it's good for any experienced programmer who ...             Product Strategy for High Technology Companies11 reviews Michael E. McGrath McGraw-Hill, 2000 targeted for core products at large companies I love this book: the concept of a "vector" for product development is a terrific way to think about competition.

It consists of a hefty introduction/historical background section as well as the text in translation and the original. The translation of the text is one of the smoothest I've read of Chinese, which must be a confluence of the material and the translator. The Platform Sutra itself consists of more than metaphysical exposition, going ...             Applied Microsoft Analysis Services 2005: And Microsoft Business Intelligence Platform23 reviews Teo Lachev Prologika Press, 2005 Great reference This book is a great read and a great reference.
