It's sad to think that a tiny introduction letter of your work can be the fine line between an author and literary representation. It's also sad because most authors don't enjoy writing them or don't know how. I was one of those writers only until recently. I've spent most of this year sending out query letters; I've gotten some rejections and am still waiting to ...             Java Persistence with Hibernate52 reviews Christian Bauer, Gavin King Manning Publications, 2006 WoWoooo so...i'm a novice hibernater (ie never used it before--learning it for the first time). after 8 months, i'm at page 634 of 840+ pages (but the last 80 pages don't count cause its about jboss seams). and i finally decided to share my opinion of this book. first, let me explain why its taken me as long as it has. when i read a technology book, i try most/all of the examples and understand it. those ...             C# 3.0 in a Nutshell: A Desktop Quick Reference (In a Nutshell (O'Reilly))28 reviews Joseph Albahari, Ben Albahari O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2007 Very good, from a non-programmer This book seems like a great reference so far. I had been hoping to learn C# with this book, but it's not really a learning book. it's definitely first and foremost a reference. Most of the wording is quite dense. I found myself reading the first few pages several times because they were so packed with information as they tried to explain the entire layout of C#. Later in the book I could ...             IBM Cognos 8 Business Intelligence: The Official Guide3 reviews Dan Volitich McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2008 Great read at any skill level IBM Cognos 8 Business Intelligence: The Official Guide is definitely a different kind of technology book. It provides real-world expert advise, tips, and techniques for all different types of Cognos users. For business users and managers, this book provides straightforward information on Cognos BI concepts to empower business decisions. Even if you're experiencing Cognos for the first time, ...             Pro LINQ: Language Integrated Query in C# 2008 (Windows.Net)30 reviews Jr., Joseph C. Rattz Apress, 2007 Bought three books on LINQ -this one is the best! I'm an intermediate level C# programmer (I think) and have been using ADO.net with SQL-Server to build a database application for a client. When I read about LINQ earlier this year, it sounded like something too good to be true. I started with a couple of other books, but found practical explanations of getting things to work lacking. I get the impression, the authors are too far advanced and ...             Learning SQL (Learning)23 reviews Alan Beaulieu O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2005 Not for a true novice I bought this book thinking I could learn SQL as a true novice. This book is not intended for a real beginner, but for developers/programmers that probably already know at least one language. For a real beginner's book see Forta's MYSQL Crash Course or Teach Yourself SQL. This book, Learning SQL, would probably be your next book.             Head First SQL: Your Brain on SQL -- A Learner's Guide (Head First)29 reviews Lynn Beighley O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2007 Wonderful Books for Mild "ADHD" Folks Packed with needed knowledge in humorous manner! It is way easier to read than any SQL I have ever encountered... wonderful job done. I will definitely look at the books in the series first before I buy computer books of other technologies from now on.             Access 2007: The Missing Manual15 reviews Matthew MacDonald Pogue Press, 2006 Excellent! This book is perfect for the novice. It guides you to the key components for MS Access without all the "techie" language. It also points out informative tips and clues to improve your database. This is specific for 2007, which really does make a difference since the security features have changed dramatically. There is a website for the examples. It is easy to download. The book states you ...             SQL Queries for Mere Mortals(R): A Hands-On Guide to Data Manipulation in SQL (2nd Edition) (For Mere Mortals)1 review John L. Viescas, Michael J. Hernandez Addison-Wesley Professional, 2007 SQL review This is a great book especially for a beginner starting to do SQL queries. The examples in the book are clear and easy to follow and it's nice there's a CD which has good examples also. The book also describes inner and outer joins and grouping data. This book has helped me in my work.             LINQ in Action29 reviews Fabrice Marguerie, Steve Eichert, ... Manning Publications, 2008 A required desktop reference I think the expression is "don't cry over spilled milk...", well when my son spilled milk on this book I almost cried. Why would you cry over a book you ask? There are many reasons. Not only does the book go into LINQ in depth (I know there is a C# in Depth book) but the authors cover all of the parts of the .NET framework that were created and needed for LINQ to function. In addition, all of ...             Integrating Excel and Access14 reviews Michael Schmalz O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2005 Needed Coverage of a Specific Topical Area "Integrating Excel and Access" covers the topic spelled out in the book's title...the integration of Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Access. While this may appear to be a niche topical area, I found such integration to be important, especially when working with large and complex data sets using non-enterprise class tools. The book does a good job covering the important area of the object ...             Web Database Applications with PHP & MySQL, 2nd Edition55 reviews Hugh E. Williams O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2004 I really like this book I really like this book--direct, no-nonsense, and intelligently written with a minimum of jokes. One thing that seems strange, that I'm hoping someone can clarify: In the section of chapter 8 dealing with transactions and concurrency, there is no mention of setting transaction isolation levels (SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL command in MySQL). Instead, concurrency is achieved solely by ...             Office 2007: The Missing Manual7 reviews Chris Grover, Matthew MacDonald, ... Pogue Press, 2007 Everything you need to know I work with Microsoft Office everyday and this manual has tips and instructions on how to do everything you need and things you never thought of.             Inside Microsoft® SQL Server(TM) 2005: Query Tuning and Optimization8 reviews Kalen Delaney, Sunil Agarwal, ... Microsoft Press, 2007 A must for serious SQL 2005 specialists I have read around 25 SQL 7/2000/2005 books including all 3 books and 1 pamphlet from Kalen Delaney. This is by far the best Kalen Delaney book and one of the best SQL 2005 books. Unlike her other SQL 2005 book (SQL 2005 Storage Engine), this book does not suffer from convoluted and often incomprehensible writing. This book covers (and covers it well): 1)Performance tuning using different ...             C# 3.0 Cookbook4 reviews Jay Hilyard, Stephen Teilhet O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2008 IT'S ALL IN THE RECIPE!! Are you an experienced C# or .NET developer or just a novice user? If you are, then this book is for you. Authors Jay Hilyard and Stephen Teilhet, have done an outstanding job of writing a book that is designed for users of all levels, and provides solutions to problems that developers face every day as well as some that may come along less frequently. Hilyard and Teilhet, begin by covering ...             Microsoft Access 2003 Forms, Reports, and Queries (Business Solutions)13 reviews Paul McFedries Que, 2004 Useful book This book is very useful for a beginner in Access. Not very difficult to go through, however, seems to lack examples. Nevertheless, the book is worth the purchase for someone willing to learn querying, reporting and forms.             SAP Query Reporting5 reviews Danielle Larocca Signorile Sams, 2006 Well written - a very clear overview of SAP queries I recently started as an SE ("Solutions Engineer" - otherwise knows as 'demo guy') for a partner of SAP. My experience includes 20 years in the software industry at other companies, but as as this is my first exposure to SAP I looked for some coherent documentation (which IMHO is sadly lacking in most areas of the program). Ms. Larocca-Signorlile actually writes in a clear and digestible ...             The Renegade Writer's Query Letters That Rock: The Freelance Writer's Guide to Selling More Work Faster (The ...14 reviews Diana Burrell, Linda Formichelli Marion Street Press, Inc., 2006 The BEST book on query letters! This is the second book in The Renegade Writer's Freelance Writing series. As suggested by the title, this book takes a different approach than most writing books. Rather than spewing forth rigid instructions and how-to's, this book answers questions and offers samples. The author's are unconventional in their approach and successful. They encourage writers to THINK rather than just follow rules. ...             Access Data Analysis Cookbook (Cookbooks)5 reviews Ken Bluttman, Wayne Freeze O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2007 Excellent book on Access as applied to business problems This book is not about designing forms, primary keys, or the use of built-in wizards to make easy queries or reports. This book is about applying Access to real-world business problems. The book addresses how to query data, how to move data to and from Access in various ways, the calculation of different financial and investment terms, and other such problems. The reader of this book should ...             The Sell Your Novel Tool kit15 reviews Elizabeth Lyon Perigee Trade, 2002 The Sell Your Novel Tool Kit "The Sell Your Novel Tool Kit" is the only other book you'll need to learn how to properly sell your novel. Why the only other book? Because I also bought "Manuscript Makeover" by the same author which I consider on par with "The Sell Your Novel..." book. Using both books has not only helped me to polish off my novel, but also how to market it properly. Learning how to write a novel is hard, ...              search for books analysis, applications, business, cookbook, cookbooks, database, freelance, hands-on, hibernate, integrated, integrating, intelligence, language, learning, letters, manipulation, microsoft, missing, mortals, nutshell, official, optimization, persistence, queries, reference, renegade, reporting, selling, solutions, writing books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
