FreeDarko presents The Macrophenomenal Pro Basketball Almanac: Styles, Stats, and Stars in Today's Game

Bloomsbury USA, 2008

This Book Will Blow Your Basketball-Loving Mind
The authors of this book must be brilliant NASA engineers on the side or something. They approach the NBA with a ton of enthusiasm and brainpower. And quirkiness. They tell us answers to questions we would never have thought to ask: like why Lamar Odom can only be understood through a careful analysis of his facial expressions, why Tim Duncan's "spirit animal" is the nurse shark (Tracy McGrady's ...

Peachpit Press, 2008

A must read for anyone using Aperture
This book and accompanying CD provide an excellent, hands-on tutorial for anyone using Aperture to process digital images. Both the professional and amateur photographer will find it beneficial. I not only learned how to add impact to my photos, I learned how to take better photos as well. The lessons are easy to follow and readers can pace the instruction to their level of experience. For ...

Apress, 2007

Essential C# 2008 Book
This is definately the quintessential C# book to have on your bookshelf! As a previous reviewer mentioned, some books do not deserve the Pro title. This one more than deserves the Pro title. I am not finished reading the whole thing yet but plan to have it completed in the next few weeks. Many of the items I am marking to come back and read again as I know I will get more out of it the ...

Essential ActionScript 3.0 - Colin Moock
This book is brilliant. It's encyclopedic. It is a must-have to better understand AS 3 and to hopefully lower your frustration when coding. I am a designer fairly new to AS 3 and found this book gave clear, detailed explanations on every aspect of AS 3. Like an encyclopedia, each chapter breaks down specific core concepts, from Arrays and XML, into their basics. Information is laid out well and ...

Kendall Farr

Gotham, 2004

Fabulous Book!
Kendall Farr is one of the best stylists in the business. The chapter on tailoring is excellent. How many of us have passed up a great article of clothing just because it didn't fit perfectly? She mentions classic, timeless but modern looks throughout the book. I like her wide range of designer recommendations for each body type, and no, they're not ALL super expensive. Now I NEVER waste time ...

The IDA Pro Book Review
I was able to pick up a pre-released copy of The IDA Pro book at Defcon in the vendor area, thanks to Adam from No Starch. This book is not an introduction to reverse engineering, its a hard core manual for IDA Pro. IDA Pro is a critical weapon in any reverser's arsenal, so proficiency in this tool is paramount to your success in reverse engineering. If you are new to IDA Pro you need this book, ...

Solid Quality Learning

Microsoft Press, 2006

Useful for experienced SQL Server users
I'm about 1/3 of the way through this book. As a moderately experienced SQL Server developer, I find the book useful as an exam prep beause it briefly reviews and previews the information, although it relies on the reader already being somewhat familiar with the subject. For example, the text explanations and code snippets are good, but there are very few screenshots or other figures. ...

If you're looking to customize Drupal by adding new functionality, new node types, advanced themeing the **you must get this book**. Clearly written. Useful examples. Accurate.

Pro LINQ: Language Integrated Query in C# 2008 (Windows.Net)

Jr., Joseph C. Rattz

Apress, 2007

Comprehensive and well explained
After being disappointed by other books on ASP.NET was leery in purchasing another. Wishing to learn about LINQ I finally gave in and ordered this one. I'm pleasantly surprised and delighted that it actually teaches you something other than just touting the benefits versus older technology. It is so complete as opposed to other books that give you a dip in the shallow end and leave you to ...

Jimmy Carter

Simon & Schuster, 2007

An HONEST reflection of reality
In this book, Carter succeeded in transparently describing the middle-east crisis through his personal experience, while avoiding hypocrisy and bias. Thus, the text presents an objective and highly ordered presentation of a very misinterpreted reality...

Great book! Better than WPF Unleashed!!
I ordered this book and WPF Unleashed (Adam Nathan) at the same time. I read WPF Unleashed first because I saw the reviews on Amazon.com. Then I read this title, Pro WPF in C# 2008. I found this to be a much better book than WPF Unleashed. It's thicker, has more content, and dives much deeper. Don't get me wrong, they are both excellent books and I recommend them both. But if you really ...

Beginner to Expert, Something for all.
I am a firm believer in the KISS method of doing things. (Keep It Simple Stupid") Every step is covered in this book so that anyone can learn from it. The "Build Like A Pro" series of books are all laid out like this one. The "Expert Tips" are great. They show you short cuts to help you do the jobs right, but in less time. This is stuff you only learn by doing the job everyday. They are ...

Peachpit Press, 2007

great tutorial for converts!
I recently switched from a 7 version vetran of Sonar to a new Mac/Logic convert. So teaching an old DAWg new tricks hasn't been easy and Logic is full of handy little tricks that you wouldn't guess just opening up the program and starting with it. This book and the companion website ([...]) has been an invaluable resource for me in the transition.

The best way to pass the exam.
The book is very well written and provides almost full coverage of the exams objectives. The practice tests on the cd are mostly actual exam questions. I passed the exam with 968 using this book as a primary study source.

Pro ASP.NET 3.5 in C# 2008, Second Edition (Windows.Net)

Matthew MacDonald, Mario Szpuszta

Apress, 2007

Very satisfied with book.
Very satisified with the contents both in terms of the choice of Subjects and the level of detail given to those topics. I've used this book to improve my implementation in a number of areas. An example of this was the detailed description of the .NET Security - Forms Authentication coverage. I have bought quite a few .NET books over the years and this one replaces most of them.

The Best ApEx Book Available
Oracle's Application Express (aka ApEx, formerly HTMLDB) is an amazing foundation for developing database-driven web applications. It is easy for a novice, yet very flexible for a software developer. Unfortunately, there have not been any good references published until now. Scott and Spendolini have created a wonderful reference and tutorial that surpasses anything else out there. The ...

Excellent Book - Explains How to Wire Right
First, let me say that I'm a do it yourself guy, and have been finishing my 1600 sf basement. This is the first large project that I've undertaken. This consisted of a large theater, bathroom, equipment room, exercise area, wet bar, and large common area. I added 53 outlets, 25 can lights, and a number of switches. I'm rather handy and like to build things, but I always need a good ...

A little background history: I am 48 yo and I am italian, so I am not really fluent in english language, however I can read it (although with some difficulties). I am in search of a new job so I needed to get a recent qualification in the IT field. I worked almost 5 years as a Desktop Support Technician before leaving my old firm (due to my pay dissatisfaction) in search for best ...

Great Book and a Great Learning Experience
After struggling for a few weeks trying to learn Final Cut Pro from the 4 volume set of books that came with the software, I was almost ready to call it quits and dump $900(USD) into one of the 3 day Final Cut Pro certification courses. After learning that this is the book that is used with those courses, and having heard Great things about Peach Pit Press, and after reading the reviews here, I ...
