A quick read indicates clearly that his technical insight, which ranges from architectural to low-level coding best practices, are not born of some academic exercise...they are the fruit of actual production J2EE experience...not an academic blueprint. At times, I felt like I was reading my own words. Over the years, I began to wonder if I was the only J2EE developer who was not "drinking all the kool aid."JLVAL 0H`For most customer communications, the call of the customer contact center is the point of entry. Author Andrew Waite does an excellent job in this book of explaining the strategies, techniques and technologies to ensure that you get the most out of your telephone call portion of your customer contact center investment. Waite first goes on to explain a few parts and principles that affect the customer call center manager. Next, the author touches on staffing and the importance of adequate labor pA Practical Guide To Call Center Technology: Select The Right Systems For Total Customer Satisfaction by telecommunications expert Andrew J. Waite is a highly informational book for businesspeople who need to set up a telephone system to handle customer orders, complains, and other important matters.

Because ebay is an ever-changing, dynamic, evolving, expanding website incorporating many new changes in recent years, and it's essential for any successful online auctioneer to have the latest update to techniques. From bidding successfully and winning to selling successfully, collecting money and shipping, Ebay For Dummies assumes no prior ebay experience and provides all the details necessary to sThis book is really well done. The explanations and descriptions seem simple, but I think that's only because they ARE well done. <br /> <br />This book can be equally useful for both novice and intermediate programmers.

No other books come close.This book offers a clear view of the embedded system design process. If you are a newcomer, it can help you clear up the mystery and it is a easy reading. If you have been through a embedded project from ground up, this is not the book for you. Even though I like this book, it lacks of depth and the text closed up in a hurry. I find this book useful as a starting base to understand what's Netweaver all about. From there, you can then do your own in depth research or further studies. <br /> <br />Good as an overview and introductory book.Just read this book as part of an IT Policy course. Although this edition does not come with the cases, we downloaded cases from Harvard Business School directly. <br /> <br />The three authors are very well known, McFarlan having developed much of the theory in use in the field of IT policy management. The material is readily consumable, and it contains enough explanation of the technical jargon to satisfy even the most Luddite reader. <br /> <br />I found that the book did a very good job ofTo address some of the cocerns others have raised, let me start by saying this is absolutely *the* reference book used in all of Computer Science and Computer Engineering.

Jose writes clearly and accurately, explaining the topics at hand well. In less than 1000 pages, he manages to cover all the basics of SAP R/3 Basis administration for Unix and NT systems alike. An excellent read for a technical manual. Highly recommended. I feel it is far better than the Liane Wills text on the same material.This book contains a lot of useful information in the way of sample code. Unfortunately the sample code has little in the way of step by step explanations. If I wanted to wade through someone elses code figuring it out for myself I would go to the Online archives. This book is absolutely not for the beginner and will make an intermediate think twice about what you've gotten yourself into. There are also many errors in the index which makes looking up information quite difficult as well. In How can you sign onto your computer and not be able to follow the menu driven eBay sign up and sell stuff on the web site? You really need to look at a book that is showing you the same thing that's on your screen? Believe me all eBay wants to do is get sellers on, so they can sell, so eBay can grab a share of the profit. <p>This book is really a bunch of dribble about how great eBay is and how it changes your life. No metion of eBay supporting the sellers only; no buyer protection, and eBayThis is basicly a book of lists--websites to visit, stuff to buy, etc. Aside from the fact that 90% of this information is available for free, a surpising amount is, well, just plain obvious. If you're not good at accounting, hire an accountant. You'll do more business if you accept credit cards. Good tips!

Nothing on machining molds, dies. Same 2D over and over again.The book starts by proclaiming that neo-classical economics is adequate for explaining the information economy. This claim is not backed up in the book. First, textbook neo-clasical equilibrium theory contains neither money nor 'information'. Second, the book merely discusses qualitatively and nonsystematically ideas like positive feedback and increasing returns that were better presented by Brian Arthur. Third, even asymmetric information is not discussed (Ackerlof and Stiglitz are not even menI was looking to shed about twenty pounds in a month or so, so I picked this up. It really helped me to understand the essentials of low carb dieting and it really did help me jump start my weight loss. It's a hard program to follow, but I found it does work, though I don't think I'll stay on it indefinitely. <br /> <br />After eliminating my coffee habit with the help of a wonderful coffee substitute made from soya beans called "Soyffee", I'm feeling so much better. My doctor recommended it to I bought the CCNP Certification Library for recertifying my CCNP and CCDP. I have just finished reading the BSCI book.

Larry Hatcher uses plain English to explain what a technique may be used for, what the required SAS code is, what the output should look like, and how the output can be interpreted.

It explain factor analysis and SEM techniques in a clear and effective way, with an hands-on approach that guides the reader during all the data analysis and result interpretation phases.A must have book if you're starting or already have an online business. I have earmarked almost every page in this book...need I say more?This book is not only the best MIPS book I have ever seen, but also one of the best computer system books I have ever seen. <br />I only hate I didn't discover that earlier!! <br /> <br />It has everything a curious system software engineer wants to know about everything related to MIPS. If you have mastered all that this book offers (I wish I can say that in some near future), you not only undoubtedly become a MIPS expert, but also you are at least half a Computer systems expert in general.This has got to be one of the best references I've seen that addresses what can be done with online marketing using Google AdWords. AdWords is a confusing but powerful program, and this book offers an excellent primer to becoming an effective AdWords user. That's the primary reason I bought it. There seems to be no end to the ways you can use Google to promote your business. This book helped me familiarize myself with several tools I hadn't looked into beforehand.<p>Also a good intro to search e`LVAL 0HvI am new to J2EE. I went to some Sun training and got a nice overview of what J2EE is. Now comes the question, how to use J2EE? There are so many decisions to be made. How do I make them? This book seems to do a very nice job of helping with that question. <br /> <br />However, I am disappointed in the editing of this book. I have read too many sentences that had glaring mistakes, enough that this is a distraction while reading, but don't let that stop you from buying this book.This is not a practical book for anyone involved or remotely interested in commercial database development.<p>Although this book does provide some mathematical theory used in all current relational database systems, the examples of embedded SQL in C will be of little use to anyone who does not want to appear as a fool among her/his peers. As far as a textbook for a graduate database class (which I believe is the reason why most people will buy this book) the assignments are marginally adequate. My job currently requires me to be fully trained in the area of GIS. My company has done an outstanding job with buying materials, software, training courses, and books to provide support. One of the books they bought was this one. <br /> <br />It's a pretty solid book and gives a great overview of GIS from it's history to getting started with the planning process. While it gives an extensive amount of information on management, background information and other general information, it really Editor Alfred J. Walker briefly introduces the new Web-based technologies that are enabling human resource (HR) managers to operate more effectively. He then offers a series of 17 articles by different authors covering these new approaches.

This book shows how Tomcat developers designed and build Tomcat from scratch. Like me, I'm sure you'll learn a lot, much more than Tomcat configuration. For example, you'll learn how a Java HTTP server is written, how object pooling is implemented, how auto-reload works, ect. This is unlike other Tomcat books that are rehash of the free documentation at Tomcat's website. <br /> <br />Surprisingly, the language is simpI admit the book serves the purpose but the information can be obtained by the specifications and the examples are not as good as those found in other similar title bookHi, I am an author of SEO book myself. I enjoyed reading this book. It is well rounded broad SEO book. It covers end user search tips, some general search engine ranking tip and information on Google Adwords, Adsense, and Froogle. This is a book that covers a wide area. If you want more specific details on how to improve your search engine rank I would recommend reading Google Hacks Exposed: Improving Your Rank on Google. The book does its job and does it well. But, it's only fair to warn that the book concentrates on code generation, optimization, instruction scheduling, etc. If you're looking for attribute grammars, etc., look somewhere else. When you're done looking for that stuff, get this book.I spent many years as a manager and business consultant. I am now doing a little consulting in my retirement years. I bought this BPM book when it first became available. I read about 50 pages and was unimpressed. Recently, thinking I should spend more time "keeping up," I picked it up again. <br /> <br />My reaction today remains the same: for me not worth reading. After reading recent reviews here by YingAsReader and "slimeddy" I better understand why it is not worth my time. "ProselytpLVAL Do not buy this book. Instead buy the online Rhino video tips from Mcneel.

He then attempts to use every possible command to create the joystick, toothbrush, toy car, and shoe projects.....there is a substantial difference between UML 1.4 and UML 2.0 and the UML Bible is an excellent book to help software modelers discover what's new and different in the revised standard. I especially like the way Pender uses gray shading in the diagrams to help you quickly identify differences between the two versions of UML. This thoroughness is carried over into the listings in the Glossary, Index and Appendices, which feature separate UML 1.4 and UML 2.0 Notation Guides to help users undNot only does this kit provide excellent study material, but it will also prove to be an invaluable reference afterward. For people (like me) who cannot afford the instructor-led courses, this kit provides the necessary training to not only pass the exams, but also to be a good network engineer. Use one of the study guides just before the exam, but use this kit to gain a thorough understanding of the material first.This book was required for a lower level electrical engineering course. The main complaint I would have is that I found many sections of this book rather convoluted. It simply did not come across as clear as it could be. <br />The approach is from the bottom up, which is wonderful to aid in understanding how a computer physically computes. Most programmers work at such a high level of abstraction that they never really know what is going on at the lower levels.

It contains explanations of all of the ideas that make up the foundation of computer science. The first sections deal with the fundamentals of binary data, how numbers are represented, how arithmetic is performed, how the bitwise operations are executed, followed by the basics of digital logic. These ideas are then expanded into a simple assembly code with many control instructions. Staying The book outlines - over the course of about 50 pages - a simple and qualitative risk metric. IF one is looking for a method to quantify risk then look elsewhere; perhaps to a professional actuary. <br /> <br />Overall it is a decent book for an introduction to qualitative risk analysis.I read this for an information-age econ class I'm taking, and I really liked it. The authors refute the idea that traditional economic rules don't apply to the age of computers, information trading and cyber sales. They make a convincing case that it's all the same econ, just a new application, and I learned a great deal from it about both the traditional models and the economics of selling information. I really recommend it for anyone. It's very readable, accessible and cogent.This book is an in-depth explanation of Lhotka's CSLA .NET framework. It starts out by showing you how the framework was built. Then it shows you how to use it. A beginner should not read this book. It's very technical. I'm not a beginner but I'm also not an expert and there were points where I just gave up on understanding how he built the framework. As I gain more .NET experience, I plan to go back and read the first part of the book again. <br /> <br />I've been desperately look for a CLVAL tOne of the greatest things about Novell is the eDirectory and how beautifully it ties all the rights, security, users, resources, and everything else into an easy to use interface.

It's enough to drive a person crazy. Also, if you run into a problem, too bad. Troubleshooting is a nontopic in this book.It is meant for digital CMOS circuit designers. Not meant for digital circuits level. All are at CMOS transistor level analysis and design.

Sometimes I'm am pleased if I come away with a handful of new tips and insights. On some occasions I find I have wasted my time and money on a book that failed to teach me anything. Really, however, have I bought a book that actually leaves me STUPIDER after completing it. <br /> <br />This book is bad. Typos, rambling, disjointed thoughts and, most disturbing, incorrect information. I leI've used a number of this author's books and they all share in common lucidity, utility, and rigor. This book makes it easy to grasp complex ideas, provides comprehensible examples, gives sample SAS code so that implementing the methods is as straightforward as possible. Plus, it is clear that the author is a subtle and first-rate methodologist, who innovates in this area as well as teaches it.Well, i'm not sure if this is a rush job. One of the chapter is just 5 pages long and the appendices are having more number of pages than the content. Reason is, the GML, LIF and P3P specification could have been provided as an URL instead of printing the whole thing in the book. Can anyone imagine that. Not up to my expectation as "the definitive guide".This book is full of useful information. If you want to know the truth and details of USB and even perform your own implementation, this book will fulfill those desires. I enjoy this book and am half way through.

Spring comprises many layers of technology that solve different problems, but work together under the Spring moniker. When I cracked this book, I knew nothing about Spring except that it was an IoC container. I knew enough about IoC to recognize its power, so the hype swirling about Spring led me to Pro Spring. <br /> <bHennessy and Patterson put heavy emphasis on conceptual understanding of how modern computer work and how the performance is measured by benchmarking technique.

The authors spend their time touting freebie utilities at the expense of a thourough discussion of the backup and restore capabilities that come with the operating system.I agree that the first part of the book is great but there are few chapters in the "C and beyond" that are of the same caliber as the first part. The only chapters worth reading closely in that section are the chapters about the function call stack and recursion. Kernighan and Ritchie 2nd edition is a much better choice for people familiar with programming. There are also numerous introductory C books like Deitel, Beginning with C by Ron House, etc.If you want to get started with Linux this is the way to go. Fedora Core (the next step past Red Hat 9) is easy to install and start playing with. The book starts by helping you get installed and trouble shooting any problems (you're not likely to have any problems with install though). I installed it on two very different machines without a hitch. It then takes you through using the graphical user interface (GUI) with Linux.

This book is concisely and intelligently explaining embedded C programming, in a way well-suited for people used to working with assembler. It's so well-written that it keeps the readers interest and invites him/her further into it's fascinating world of electronics and programming. <br /> <br />Even the seasoned C programmer will find the book interesting, as it sheds light into a different aspect of this programming langThis book provides no real usable knowledge about SAP. There is absolutely no information on some areas, such as CATT's. And the areas that have some meat have only bologna.Excellent book for MIPS.

The code snippets are extremely<br>useful also.I have read a lot of glowing reviews about this book but I have found that, while it is good, I think it is too dense to be great. It is a very difficult read. The writing style is very heavy. I would love a one-pager of the ideas in this book. My sense is that it would read "Watch Users." There are better books on the subject. I like "The Inmates are Running the Asylum."Could someone at Amazon clarify the confusion. The advertised book was published on 10/30/2003. Yet, one of the review's written belwo was written in 2001. So which book are you advertising? Are you sure the above book is ArcView GIS 8.3, ISBN 0766834751I bought this for a twelve-year-old who is always asking questions about the computer. It answers those questions and does so in simple language with terrific illustrations. Each item -- processor, memory, hard drive -- is shown in clear pictures with explanatory text. The book covers PC and Macintosh hardware, software, the Internet, and networking basics.LVAL  &Unless you are absolutely..and do mean ABSOLUTELY, completely new to eBay and have never even navigated the site, then this book might be somewhat useful. It instructs you on all you need to know about such as searching eBay, bidding, buying, paying, selling items, setting up your own eBay storefront, security and resolving issues, etc...it is a wealth of information. <br /> <br />But if you've been an eBay user, you already know most of this information already. There aren't any buried secretShows you how to make use and organize symbols. Also some helpful hints and how to make use of alpha and tint functions. I learned how to make use of the transitions and shape tweens in animation very helpful. If only it were more specific on character animation and staging it would get a five star rating.If you were only able to buy one J2EE book, then this would be it. J2EE is a complex technology filled with opportunities to make judgment errors. This book clearly outlines the rationale and implications of J2EE decisions to avoid making those costly mistakes. The information in this book could be the difference between a success and a failure. I highly recommend this book.The Index in the back of this book is incorrect. The author and publisher are aware of this...I contacted each and they confirmed this. Thus this book is worthless for anyone who wants to look things up....it should be taken off the market and corrected.We all have heard the saying that nothing is perfect. Well, it certainly is the case with this book. This book will not make you an expert in every single J2EE technology. Will give you a good introduction though! I thought the first couple of chapters on the new additions to Java Tiger were pretty solid. However, the chapters on Networking and Security were too shallow. No big deal though. Just buy Java Network Programming from Oreilly. Murach's Just Java 6th edition is a nice book to have in aLVAL I wanted to love this book, but I really just ended up liking it. The presentation was complete and exhaustive, and that was a challenge. Ideas are often fragmented across chapters in deference to the book's organization and subject matter. I especially liked the glossary and the bibliography at the end. <br /> <br />I like the book's topics. I could find no faults with the ideas it presents. But this is NOT an introductory book by any means. <br /> <br />If you are a systems professional Very good to learn the embedded system world for the new comers.<br>If you have some experience with project management and know what are the differences between MCUs and development tools, then it is no need to buy it.While true the author hits more on what rather than 'how', this is one of those books every sap project manager and technical team member should have, if not just so we can all speak the same language. No, it's not an implementation book (pick up Anderson's SAP planning/best practices book). And no, it's by no means a guide for administrators (see Burleson, Hernandez, or Liane Will's books, among others). It's more important, in that its the consistent foundation you can all build upon. Dr. Simsion's book is the absolutely best on Data Modeling and Database Design. The book is written in a language that is clear, concise and easy to grasp.<br>The concepts are addressed in a sequence that makes them easy to understand.<br>Several years ago, I learned Data Modeling using the 1st edition of this book.<br>The second edition is even better.<br>I highly recommend it for novices and experts alike.<p>Marcelo Rocha DaSilva<br>...0LVAL  .FShort review: this book [stinks].<p>On the surface, this book looks like it is fairly good although it includes a lot of Intel PR about what a good thing USB is. Digging deeper, you will find serious errors, omissions, and examples of poor programming. Files mentioned in the book as being on the CD aren't. Could not find errata at the Intel Press web site. Assembly code just includes all source files in the project. I still haven't figured out how to debug a project like this. Any normal personThis book reminds me more of a travelog about many of the sights and sounds you will encounter on your quest to become best friends with your Accounting Information System. <p>It would make a lot more sense if the authors skipped a lot of the details of where Accounting Information Systems fit in our social experience and get down to dealing with the dirty details of how someone would go about writing a system of their own.<p>Then they could spend a chapter on how to go about the testing of the I just can't say enough about this book.

The book is aimed at beginners (quote: "A complete discussion of <X> would quickly drive all but the most dedicated readers into 'geek overload', so I'll end my discussion here."), but fails in that endevour by providing a patchy and incoherent text. The book is sprinkled with insights from "In the Trenches" which makes you doubt that he's actually ever been there.If you r looking for a book that concentrates on Data structures in JAVA, then this book is definately for you. It does not bore you with the AWT libararies and all that, it lets u jump into the nitty gritty of data structures programming in Java. I don't think it even touched on the AWT libraries once in this book. Which is good for me since my school sylabus doesn't touch on that at all either. It especially touched on the topic of linked lists very well, explaining the concept in the most simIf you're looking for some light reading on trading systems, this is not the title for you. But if what you want are detailed, well fleshed-out trading systems to study as examples or even to use, this is an outstanding library of ideas that are fully implemented as code. The focus on TradeStation as the platform is only mildly distracting if you're using a different programming approach, there is enough detail here to go your own way with another language. It will take quite some time to digIf you're building a computer based trading system, this title offers some interesting insight. There are several example trading systems that implement commonly used system features, and these systems are analyzed and commented on. But this is far from a blueprint--the methods used are too rough to actually use as defined, and the descriptions are very confusing in many places. Included TradeStation code is a bit easier than most to understand, but that's not saying much.

But you're not really going to gain anything new by reading it.First thing I need to say is that if you know another programming langauge, especially C++, then you already know about half of this book which covers the basics like variables, integers, boolean, string, the logics of if/else, case statements, function, etc. I agree with previous reviewer; Horton uses techniques from 1.3 and 1.4 JDK instead of the newer 5.0 JDK.

Discretionary trading strategies are incorporated into a mechanical frame by means of a Tradestation platform.

One of the BENEFITS of fiber is immunity to EMI/RFI interference. <br /> <br />"Fiber opric cable is extremely difficuit (i.e. costly) to splice". <br /> <br />This may have been true oh, say back in 1968, but modern splicing and repair techniques make this much simpler and costThere are two ways of modelling business environments. <br /> <br />The first is how they like you to do it in tightly controlled organizations like the military -- "Follow this exact nine-step procedure and your data model will fall out the end of it". <br /> <br />The second is to apply an intelligent, informed, and flexible approach -- it is this method that the book addresses, and it is far superior in my eyes. <br /> <br />Those interested in data modelling by rote should look elsewhere, beContent: SAP Marketing. <br />Style: really for dummies. <br /> <br />Want to know about SAP Netweaver: Ask SAP employees. <br />Want to waste time: read this book. <br />I bought this book & yes it is quite a long read, it did give alot of background info in rolling / upgrading a secure windows 2000 network, but the information to pass the 70-220 exam is in there & thats the main thing. <br />Maybe if I was in I.T. to just pass exams I'd have chosen to get the MS Book, but I do love my Cappuccino's.I liked this book because it is pretty well explained and gave me a solid foundation to understand more about how to design Network Security for Windows 2000.

In particular, the book covers methods of tree comparison such as the KHT and SH tests, which I found particularly welcome because the current literature covering these tests often are rather opaque to those who haven't followed it since their conception.<pI paid $97.00 for this newly released book. Pages 23-54 are missing and I have little time to deal with a complaint and return process. In skimming the book, it gives a basic intro, overview of computer hardware/software, data management; applications, project management, and future directions. This information is available in less expensive textbooks.Smith and Fingar present an interesting monograph on the current state, and future possibilities, of IT. <p>Their premise is that IT, as we know it is over, Business Process Management (BPM) represents the next wave of corporate computing. They do a good job of defining IT but never do they adequately define BPM. We are told what it isn't; it's not data, it's not hardware or software, and it's not Web services. But what is it?

Traditionally we may be very good at thinking about data and function, but Zachman adds the dimensions of network, organization, schedule and motivation. Laying out these perspectives in a matrix allows the different roles to communicate better. <p>In the framework matrI've used this book for my Web Animation class and while it doesn't tell you every little thing you need to know about Flash. It's a great book to get started, especially if you need to work off of real examples then the cd-rom files included would really help. Although I wished that this book covered certain subjects in more detail and included more tutorials . . . This book would be good for beginners and maybe even intermediate users could use this as a reference. It gives you a nice balance This book needs to go back through editorial review. Many figures are mis-labeled and out of sequence. Most of the details and drawings are so small that you cannot read them even with a magnifying glass. The general content is practical and useable. I'd give the content a "B+", but the presentation and delivery a "D-".It is pretty clear that there are two classes of reviews for this book. One class, typically written by lay people, believes it to be the best research available on how the human brain truly works. Scientists, however, view the book a bit differently. <br /> <br />I am a researcher in robotics and specialize in developing control systems for autonomous robots.

And if you are expected to actually do the data modelling, even better, it provides coverage on all the things you should include, or at least consider, as well as some insights on how you are going to show the value and importance of being able to model your data. <br /> <br />Even a seasoned modellThis is another great book in the HBR paperback series. There are several very helpful article/chapters in this book; each one taken alone is worth more than the cost of the book. <br /> <br />The article by Argyris, "Teaching Smart People to Learn," is quite insightful. Argyris explains why smart, highly trained professionals find it difficult to learn from their mistakes and failures. <br /> <br />In David Garvin's article/chapter, he talks about what real people in real organizations are doinDon't let the name of this book fool you. Dr. Rumizen is a KM expert with outstanding knowledge and writing skills. She discusses developing a strategic approach, building an infrastructure, dealing with change and culture, measuring and assessing, and avoiding common pitfalls. <br /> <br />Rumizen's "Getting Started" (Part 2) chapters are very insightful. The chapter on communities of practice alone is worth the cost of the book. She also includes three chapters on organizational culture, and hStridsman's work reads like a lab book recollection of his experimentations rather than a systematic study of creating profitable trading systems. The text is repetitive, and filled with illogical analogies and examples. His conclusions are based on some dubious suppositions -- he seems to lack a strong grasp of the statistical analysis he employs.<p>Among the benefits of the book are Stridsman's adherence to standard deviation in assessing system risk and his use of percentage measurements raJLVAL 0H`This book was recommended reading for a class. Like many other books that include a CD, it relies heavily on the CD to teach the material. It was frustration from the begining. The overall content of the book is sufficient but the teaching process falls far short. The author or publisher should have checked the CD to see if it contained what they said: no spatial analyst like they said--which is very important in the book, no arcinfo which is important.

OpenLDAP takes two chapters, then a section of chapters on Application Integration.

This book is a collection of research papers (of the sort you'd find published in books on HCI or from conferences of the ACM SIGCHI committee) organized into chapters by some shared topic (i.e. human factors, hypertext, speed/language/audition). Each chapter is preceded by a summary of the papers contained therein along with often useful biYou would not believe how helpful this book has been for my Java programming class! I was so lost that I did not even know how to install the software correctly. This book takes you step-by-step from installation through creating your own Java program.

The "why" and "how" are missed. Too bad.This book is very focused on the beginner and goes through each property icon describing in depth their functions and purposes. It's much better than the ridiculous manual that comes with the software, but many of the exercises (which make up 80% of the book) are redundant.<p>For those wanting to advance beyond the basic drag-drop-publish routine I'd recommend staying away. There is very little content on coding and no tutorials on creating Knowledge Objects/Wizards or anything of the sort.<p>InAgreeing with the previous review 100%. This is an excellent book, and I can lift it over my head, so it won't be such a pain in the butt to drag around with me. At around 800 pages, it's still a hefty reference, but a little more manageable than some of the bigger books out there. The language is plain. The organization is sensible, and I appreciate the many genericized diagrams in addition to photos. Photos are nice, but the diagrams make it easier for me to figure out what I'm looking at fromWhile this book certainly offers valuable information it's repetitive to the point of being laughable.<br>A diligent editor with a pair of scissors could have improved the book vastly.<br>The constant cross referring is also pretty annoying - with a good index who needs it.<br>The illustrations are not just cheesy as stated by another reviewer - they are plain silly.<br>I'm easily bored - thus I hate books that spend page and page again on telling me what I will learn reading the coming pages - I buy books and courses almost on a weekly basis.

For example, the concept of "catalog content management" is defined and discussed at least three times in one chapter.

The book is highly readable and I look forward to more books from the author. If you work with distributed systems or software problems, buy this book!As one of the leading ACT! trainers in the United States, I know what it takes to really teach people the program. And this book has it all. It's clear and concise, and the features are laid out in a logical fashion for incremental learning. The graphics are perfect references to the written text, and readers will have no trouble following along as they learn the features of the program. The author uses plain, descriptive language and doesn't get bogged down in "tech talk." If you want to li had to rate this book one star because there was no "ZERO"! This book is complete garbage and the worst investment you can make to start your investment career. There are other books on investing in this series, which do an incredible job for beginners. Even the resource centers at any decent online broker has better information for you than this book has and the links won't go bad!I wanted to learn more about transaction processing and had found bits and pieces from various sources.

This books is based on her lecture notes. Before this book, there is really no book that covers these material in rigorious and consistent matter.

This book shows exactly that. The algorithms are presented in LVALd |Bought this book for one of the examples which seemed to be exactly what we needed - the Two Keyboards example. We had a great deal of trouble getting it to work, and we contacted the author directly. He was initially keen to help, telling us he was aware that the CD was generally messed up and versions of files were wrong. He pointed us at an updated online version. We tried this and had even worse problems getting it to build, let alone install. We contacted the author again, and he admitted tI haven't always found the "For Dummies" books to be extremely helpful in the realm of software guides. This book, however, proved to surpass my expectations. <p>The language style was very beginner-friendly. The order of presentation of the programs and features in the CS suite made sense.

When I was in design school, we were given an opaque five-minute lecture about the grid, and were then instructed to do an exercise that was supposed to teach us how to use the grid. The entire lesson was confusing, and I never could get a clear answer from an instructor on exactly how to use the grid, and so I was left to fend for myself on that matter. <br /> <br />If only my instrI'm a teacher learning to create learning software for high schoolers. I bought this book in 2002 to learn AW6. It's been a great resource that has made me a proficient user.

It is well organized, packed full of information, and has many challenging exercises at the end of each chapter that reinforce and extend the concepts outlined. Also, the inside jacket gives a list of useful formula for quick reference. For those interested in vector processors, the authors have included an overview of these in the appendix. Do to new hardware and updated versiAdvances in compiler design do not get much press these days. The reasons for this are unclear, but no doubt the perception that compilers need no further improvement has something to do with this.

After owning it for a few months I find I can't find the answer to my more advanced questions in this book. So I'd say it is a good book for beginners, but not for someone that is looking for an advanced linux reference.This book, although apparently containing everything, is written in a very opaque style which makes it impossible to simply read through. It probably is a good reference to look in for particular topics, but it is not at all usable as an introduction. LVAL r When I first started reading this work, it seemed decidedly to be for beginners only. I was pleasantly surprised however, how many new concepts and ideas I learned by the time I completed it. I found the "points to remember" and Chapters 11, 13-16 to be particularly useful because they highlight the pitfalls that I've seen even the most seasoned RTOSers fall into. I ended up buying the book for all my firmware developers and made the above mentioned sections mandatory reading for them. AlthougI find the book useful but hard to use as a reference. I agree that the examples are detailed and easy to follow and I like the book for fully exploring a topic (e.g., video). As a reference, it's too hard to drill down into the single fact that I need. For example, when I tried to lookup the syntax for AttachMovie, I couldn't find it, just examples. Also, the index is incomplete and lacking the most obvious terms such as 'remoting' which can be found in chapter 35, sending and loading data.Its well known that people in business who tout business processes can come unstuck when they encounter people who don't believe in process improvement.

Some readers are put off by the lack of academic rigor, paucity of research citings, and vague illustrations.

He hopes that some of Most of the books available are just describing the functionalities of FICO instead of giving you the REAL nitty-gritty involved in configuring a particular option.
