Access 2007 VBA Programmer's Reference (Programmer to Programmer)

8 reviews
Teresa Hennig, Rob Cooper, ...

Wrox, 2007

Extremely Good Text
I've been using Access off and on since Windows 95 and Access 2. This is absolutely one of the best texts on VBA I have read. Examples are clear, and appropriate; and explainations are complete without being longer than the need to be. The coverage of Access 2007's new features appears to be right on the money.

Excellent book - Needs updated code samples and J2EE 1.4 support
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, particularly well-thought out design guidelines for developing J2EE application with or without EJB. The author introduced several best practices particularly the concepts and usage of Spring and Hibernate based j2ee development is quite helpful. In addition to this book, I find patterns and bestpractices from "Core J2EE Patterns /Deepak Alur", "Core ...

Professional BizTalk Server 2006

Darren Jefford, Kevin B. Smith, ...

Wrox, 2007

Excellent reference book
It took a long time for decent BizTalk Server books to start appearing, and those of us who have been committed to the product for some time know the pain (and fun) of having to work out, for ourselves, how this product works, how best to apply it to real-life scenarios and how to exploit its rich functionality. I was really impressed with this book. It has two characteristics which I think ...

Great Book on Refactoring
Really great book on refactoring. Although it is based on Visual Basic examples, same advices can be applied to C#, Java or any other OO language. Martin Fowler finally has a fair partner on my shelf ;).

Expert Access 2007 Programming (Programmer to Programmer)

Rob Cooper, Michael Tucker

Wrox, 2007

The got to have it book
As I was reading through this book, it became clear to me that this is one book anyone who develops in Access should have. The book is written true to Rob and Michael's form: The content is clear and the information useful. I enjoyed discovering new "toys" in the debugging chapter, and the error logging code is a gem that will be utilized in deployed applications. Going through the Add ...

Beginning SQL Server 2005 Administration

4 reviews
Dan Wood, Chris Leiter, ...

Wrox, 2006

Just what I needed
I had not touched a DB box in quite a while, and I was recently handed a SQL 2005 box to manage. This book pretty much covered everything I needed. The writing style is laid back and readable, and they get right to the point, without going off on all sorts tangents. The chapter on Automating Administrative Tasks (Chapter 8) was pure gold. Good stuff.

Beginning SharePoint 2007 Administration: Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and Microsoft Office SharePoint ...

5 reviews
Göran Husman

Wrox, 2007

Perfect for Beginners
If you are new to WSS, MOSS or SharePoint in general this is the book to start at. Maybe the best entry level book out there. From installing to creating and even a bit on the dev side for those interested. This is mainly for administrators and implementers, not so much for developers. Great starting point anyway you look at it. This book is to the point and helped me pass both 70-630 ...

Beginning SharePoint 2007: Building Team Solutions with MOSS 2007 (Programmer to Programmer)

6 reviews
Amanda Murphy, Shane Perran

Wrox, 2007

Good starting point for soon to be SharePoint Professionals (and a good refresher for the rest of us)
As the title states I find this a great place to start learning or use as a reference. You can never have enough good references! I found this book to be inline with the other "Beginning" Wrox books. It outlines key concepts within the SharePoint platform and provides examples of how to use those concepts to build team solutions. From outlining site columns and content types to working with ...

Visual Basic 2008 Programmer's Reference (Programmer to Programmer)

5 reviews
Rod Stephens

Wrox, 2008

Amazing Book!
You might initially think that this is going to be one of those big books with a few examples and a lot of fluff; well, you'd be wrong. This is a big book because it's absolutely packed with really useful examples. Rod takes you through just about every feature of Visual Basic 2008 and he does it with examples. These aren't just the usual academic sort of examples either; you'll be able to use ...
