I've gone through about 300 pages, and I'm astounded at the information. I've been programming in ASP.NET 4 years, and have picked up a lot along the way ("junkie").

"Beautiful presentation, but the content looks a bit ...             C++ Primer Plus (5th Edition)52 reviews Stephen Prata Sams, 2004 A Lifesaver My son's a grad student in Digital Production Arts (DPA) at Clemson University and has a BFA in Fine Arts.

Some people have a real gift for taking the complex and breaking it down into a simpler language for others to understand. That's exactly what Mordy Golding did with this book and I love it!! I bought this book after trying "Adobe Illustrator CS3 WOW" which seemed to assume I already knew how to use the illustrator program and thus left out many relevant details. This book doesn't assume anything ...             Sams Teach Yourself SAP in 24 Hours (3rd Edition) (Sams Teach Yourself)11 reviews George W. Anderson, Tim Rhodes, ...

These are quite good, but they also tend to assume you already know Flash- either from a previous version or from the help tutorials (which aren't so hot). In most cases, they already have everything set up and ready to go, and you have no idea how they even got to the starting point. Additionally, the ...             MySQL Crash Course (Sams Teach Yourself in 10 Minutes)16 reviews Ben Forta Sams, 2005 Perfect !! I am a PHP guy not a database guy.

This book (C Primer Plus, 5th ed.) is, frankly, one of the best intro books I've seen. I've read the first 13 chapters thus far and have been very pleased with the content. Topics are presented ...             Microsoft SharePoint 2007 Unleashed14 reviews Michael Noel, Colin Spence Sams, 2007 Excellent format with easy to find content Was a little hesistant to get another in the "unleashed" series since I have been burned before with a lot of content that is dry and not pertinent to my environment.

It is clearly written and organized so that I don't have to search to hard for what I need and I can ignore what I don't.              search for books center, course, creative, developer, development, dynamics, edition, flash, foundation, library, manager, microsoft, minutes, objective, objective-c, operations, presentation, primer, professional, programming, server, sharepoint, studio, suite, system, teach, unleashed, visual, windows, yourself books:    randomly chosen book: Leonardo DiCaprio: An Intimate Portrait (Star Biographies) we recommend The ONLY Book You Will Ever Need To Master PHP/MySQL Impressum - about us get your own free shoutbox
