.Presentation Zen: Simple Ideas on Presentation Design and Delivery (Voices That Matter)
City Travel Guides > Books > Programming
by: Garr Reynolds

January 04, 2008
Garr Reynolds has succinctly grasped a pernicious nettle and dislodged a few hoary myths about effective communication in his new book presentationzen: Simple Ideas on Presentation Design and Delivery. Realising '... that something needed to be done to end the scourge of bad PowerPoint slides and the lifeless narration that accompanies them.' (p. 6), he sets out to illustrate a simpler and more effective approach to communication through presentations.

Keep in mind that the whole thing is about communication: what you need to do and, perhaps more importantly, not do, to make communication effective.

The ten chapters are logically grouped into five areas - introduction, preparation, design, delivery and the next step. ... Read More:

.Dreamweaver CS3: The Missing Manual
City Travel Guides > Books > Programming
by: David McFarland

June 22, 2007
This is a thick, heavy book, hard to hold, worth the trouble. It doesn't solve every problem but it comes close, and offers links for more insight and details. If you are looking for a way to understand what you are working on, for a foundation from which to be creative, good book.

Even the least experienced web layout designer could learn a lot from this book. The font is large, the layout is easy to read and understand. The book goes into GREAT depth in each field. I recommend this book. I am using it for a class, but will hold onto this book for ever. Great transaction as well, here in about a week.
-Thanks, Amazon!

.Cocoa(R) Programming for Mac(R) OS X (3rd Edition)
City Travel Guides > Books > Programming
by: Aaron Hillegass

May 15, 2008
If you plan to write for Mac OS X, and have some programming experience, this book is a MUST HAVE. This is by far the best introductory book I have ever read on any language.

If you DO NOT have programming experience, I would still recommend this book. There are some spots where the logic might be hard to grasp, but Aaron Hillegass walks you through it.

In either case, but more so for beginners, I would also recommend Programming in Objective-C (Developer's Library). The less experience you have, the more strongly I would suggest reading this book first. It will walk you through the basics of straight Objective-C and then start you off using frameworks in OS X. If you are a Windows user and do not have a Mac, Programming in Objective ... Read More:

.Head First Design Patterns (Head First)
City Travel Guides > Books > Programming
by: Elisabeth Freeman, Eric Freeman, Bert Bates, Kathy Sierra

October 25, 2004
First, a little background: I have been programming since 1998 and my primary programming language is C#. My main area of development is ASP.NET websites.

For years I have been trying to get my head around software design patterns, but I kept running into road blocks. I tried learning about them from a combination of websites and books, but none of them seemed to communicate the practical reasons for learning design patterns. I decided to give up on learning them.

Several years went by and the gnawing question about the usefulness of software design patterns resurfaced in my head. I came across Head First Design Patterns, saw the great reviews and decided to take a chance. I am sure glad I did.

Not only is this easily the best design ... Read More:
