+ Decent Book + Good introduction but need some updating to JMS 1.1
If you are looking into JMS for use at work or you are just curious, this straight-to-the-point and easy read will start you on your way. While not going into absurd depth about the topic, the author provides a wonderful overview and core knowledge transfer for the reader.
Quick and easy to ...
+ brilliant but kind of sloppy + A Collection of Essays on Open Source + gives a "blow by blow" about how "open source decentralized software development" CAN work, with a caveat
+ Great learning book and reference + It is administrators guide, not implementors guide
This is a prime example of how technical books should be written. The material is not easy, but the authors' mastery of the subject matter is clear. It is superbly well organized and very well written. I was only interested in OpenSSH and not Tectia, but the way the material is presented, it was ...
While I can sympathize with some readers who may have been expecting a different book that covered the topic of cluster building in a different way, I would like to respond with several facts to clarify issues surrounding "Building Linux Clusters": 1) The book, as published, is not the final draft ...
+ A reference book, not a how-to + from Eric Myer (the man!) comes a must-have for anyone using CSS
I had done some work with style sheets, but was confused bythe terms and had no idea what they can do. This book completely changed what I can do when I design web sites. It'sa real eye-opener and a great reference.
I was attempting to write some Perl scripts for graphics manipulation in Linux, and could not find much in the way of relevant documentation. This book supplied the information that I needed.
+ good document - articles a mixed bag (naturally) + Fascinating essays
All the essays are well written, enjoyable, informative and a great read. Anyone interested in open source software, where S/W development might be going and Unix/Linux/GNU software in particular, should read this book. One or two essays showing their age, but still worth every penny. Buy it, read ...
All you need to fully understand the details of RPC
+ The value of this work depends on you
This is imho the reference for RPC. This book keeps the usual high standard for O'Reilly nutshell books. Yes, this should be seen more as a reference than as an introduction or beginners book, though it covers all important topics and pitfalls to avoid. If you want the best reference and most ...
I partly agree with the downstairs, but can not put it in 1 star.
This book is OK for beginner, both on Win32 and Linux. And with detailed description (yes, it tells what is called NT Service and how to open a MMC to start a service :-) so IT JUST WORKS.
On the other hand, there is a lot of ...
+ NFS, NIS and automounter, a great combonation! + The standard for NFS/NIS
Hello, My name is Mike Eisler, and I am one of the co-authors of Managing NFS and NIS, Second Edition. I'm writing this note to offer additional information to potential readers. At the time I submitted this note, most of the customer reviews for this book referred to the first edition. One of ...
This publication is good for an quick introductory view of server load balancers. Users of load balancing products from certain manufacturers will benefit from the configuration options discussed in the final section of the book. For a more in-depth discussion, I would recommend Kopparapu's text ...
