(Don't worry, I'm coming to Expression Web 3 in a minute.) One book told what to do, but not why it was being done (basic theory behind the clicks). Another spent so much time on the why, it never seemed to get to the what, and my eyes glazed over. I'd start working my way through a book, ...             Sams Teach Yourself SQL in 10 Minutes (3rd Edition)151 reviews Ben Forta Sams, 2004 Perfect little book on SQL I wouldn't say it quite teaches SQL in 10 minutes, but it is just what I wanted.

Something about SAM's unleashed lineup, as of late, has me dancing about with a renewed vigor and WPF Unleashed is yet another log on that fire. Some review the document as being somewhat a general reference as well as being a bit on the extremist side demanding formal training in the WPF realm of discipline. These are somewhat erroneous ascertions as the only real requirement is a basic ...             Mastering Unreal Technology, Volume II: Advanced Level Design Concepts with Unreal Engine 32 reviews Jason Busby, Zak Parrish, ... Sams, 2009 The recipient is pleased! I ordered these for a very talented friend who has the tough work of trying to break into the gaming industry. He's commented that the books are easy to understand, and I see that his confidence has been boosted. Coincidentally, just today, he sent me his first rendering since receiving the books that he was very proud to say couldn't have been possible without having learned it from the books. ...             C++ Primer Plus (5th Edition)70 reviews Stephen Prata Sams, 2004 Big book, detailed explanations I'm a veteran C programmer and have been given an assignment in C++. I thought the jump would be a piece of cake, because I had sort of looked at C++ many years ago never going much beyond Hello World, and because I had done 2 years of C# programming. It turned out that C++ is considerably more complex than I had expected and it has evolved over the years. I did have Lipmann's C++ Primer in its ...             Exchange Server 2010 Unleashed5 reviews Rand Morimoto, Michael Noel, ... Sams, 2009 Excellent! I had bought the Exchange 2007 Unleashed book a few years back and used that book as my guide to migrate to Exchange 2007. When this Exchange 2010 Unleashed book was released, I got a notice the book was available and bought the book. My company is not ready to migrate to Exchange 2010 just yet, however many of the features in Exchange 2010 (product) address some critical business areas that ...             Sams Teach Yourself iPhone Application Development in 24 Hours2 reviews John Ray, Sean Johnson Sams, 2009 Lives Up To Its Title A "Teach Yourself" book should do just that.

Sams, 2009 Good info regarding SP1 and R2 I've had this book for a while, and have meant to write a review. Finally took a few minutes to write out my thoughts! I really like it. It covers well all of the aspects of SP1, including some of the newer elements, which a current SMS2003 administrator might have little previous knowledge of, like Native mode, and DCM. And has some really great step-by-step guides for the most-often used ...             SharePoint 2007 How-To2 reviews Ishai Sagi Sams, 2009 Fabulous guide to the product I'm an experienced SharePoint user, trainer, developer, designer, architect (etc etc) and am quite familiar with most resources out there.

Sams, 2006 Great book, bad binding This book is very comprehensive. My review has nothing to do with that. Look to some of the other reviewers for content. My problem has to do with form. My binding broke. I have lots of big books with big binding and I've discovered that if you have a thick book you're going to need thin layer of glue for the binding so that it can bend. This book has thick glue which causes it to ...             Sams Teach Yourself Visual Basic 2008 in 24 Hours: Complete Starter Kit14 reviews James Foxall Sams, 2008 Excellent Beginner VB.NET Book I bought this book after trying to work through several other VB and C# books... I have a busy life and just can't be too dedicated to learning programming. This book is well written and presents programming VB in a logical and simple manner. There are a few chapters that are pretty slow, like how to customize and use VS 2008... This is not a "crash course" in VB that you get through in 24 ...             Microsoft Windows 7 Unleashed9 reviews Paul McFedries Sams, 2009 Microsoft Windows 7 Unleashed After the difficulties working with Vista, I was a bit wary about the newest version of Windows. I decided to do a bit more research before I started to think seriously about upgrades. My biggest concern was that this new version would be so different from what I'm used to that it would take time to relearn everything. After reading Microsoft Windows 7 Unleashed, I was surprised to read about ...              search for books administration, advanced, application, business, complete, concepts, configuration, dashboard, development, edition, exchange, expression, foundation, introduction, management, manager, mastering, microsoft, minutes, practices, presentation, sharepoint, starter, technology, unleashed, unrealscript, visual, windows, xcelsius, yourself books:    randomly chosen book: The Psychology of the American Jury we recommend Nice video about tantric sex home  impressum - about us
