+ Great reference to help you build your DTD... + Nice, but not really required + A Useful Book for SGML/DocBook Authors + Good reference with a couple of flaws
You'll love it or hate it, depending on your experience level
+ Almost a 5... + A great primer on Java 6
You'll love this book if you are already a pro up through the current Java release and don't want to - once again - wade through Gary Cornell's excellent but complete treatise on the Java language just to figure out what is new to the language in Java 6. You'll hate this book if you want to learn ...
+ A Solid "Intermediate" Book + Best Way to Start with Hibernate Thus Far
I found this book to be really well organized and methodical, starting with the basics of Hibernate and working up to more complex aspects and features in a gradual, measured fashion. My only prior exposure to a book on Hibernate was Hibernate: A Developer's Notebook; it was short and sweet, and of ...
+ An Excellent Intro to Scrum + My husband likes it so far
This is the one book you buy everyone on your team and tell them to read as the first step to implementing scrum. It's well written, clear, and consise. Most people only need to read chapters 2-4, 5-7 are on control theory, etc that is interesting but not required.
This is good stuff 'straight ...
Its long since I wrote a review and as I am reading this book, I felt an immediate need to write one. This book is definitely the bible for hibernate, no doubt about it.

I lent it to a guy on my development team, and now I can't seem to get it back. He must like it. (!)
One thing I really appreciated was the comparative tables showing benefits and tradeoffs of using the different web frameworks with Spring. The book does seem a bit shallow for the number of ...

3. Excellent Samples - the evolution of sample code is very clean, concise and easy to read. Even if the listing is 1 or 2 page long, you just need to take a glimpse to ...
+ Mapping Hacks: Tips & Tools for Electronic Cartography
This book is a combination of tips and tricks that allow users to better use mapping tools that are already available and to understand how these various tools work. For example, there are explanations of why MapQuest got it wrong and how Fundrace was built. Most of the book takes advantage of free ...
This is a good follow-up to the book by the same authors, Beginning Hibernate: From Novice to Professional (Beginning: from Novice to Professional).
There is a certain feeling of overlap between the two books, but that is probably understandable, seeing that the same authors wrote both. Still, ...
+ Pretty good overview but consider using a framework.
NIO is a great IO class, I think it's the best package presented by Sun since Swing, it provides you with more than what you need from NIO class in just 250 pages.
