.VMware Infrastructure 3: Advanced Technical Design Guide and Advanced Operations Guide
City Travel Guides > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Scott Herold, Ron Oglesby, Mike Laverick

August 01, 2008
Last week while speaking at TechTarget's Advanced Enterprise Virtualization seminar, I was asked a question I get quite often - "What book do you recommend if we want to learn more?" The answer to that was easy. The audience consisted pretty much of senior level administrators who were either running or planned to deploy VMware-based virtual environments, so I asked if everyone had purchased a copy of the VMware Infrastructure 3 Advanced Technical Design & Advanced Operations Guide. The attendees were surprised that I didn't mention my own book, but why should I? My virtualization book was published in 2005, so it's a dinosaur in terms of virtualization books. Even back then, I wrote a good virtualization book that covered many platforms, ... Read More:

.Systems Analysis and Design, Seventh Edition (Shelly Cashman)
City Travel Guides > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Gary B. Shelly, Thomas J. Cashman, Harry J. Rosenblatt

February 26, 2007
It's a textbook. As textbooks go, it's pretty good. Very few textbooks are really worth the prices that are demanded.

As is typical with textbooks having to do with technology, there are many errors. Most glaring are the online audio files that do not match up with the text. Presumably, the textbook has changed, but the audio files have not.

All textbooks, especially those in engineering and technology concentrations, should be made available on the Internet at significantly reduced prices.

.The PMP Exam: How to Pass On Your First Try (Test Prep series)
City Travel Guides > Books > Computers and Internet
by: PMP, Andy Crowe

November 01, 2005
I highly recommend this book. I also purchased the PMBOK, but only got about halfway through. Crowe's book broke it all down for me. I read the book once, did all of the questions in the book, and did the free trial on the Velociteach website. Additionally I borrowed Rita Mulcahy's book from a co-worker and did all of the end-of-chapter questions. I was kind of freaked out because I didn't do well on her questions, but when I reviewed what I got wrong, I usually didn't agree with her explanations. Anyway, Crowe's book is great and the online content was good too (just know that a lot of the questions are re-used).

.The Little SAS Book: A Primer, Third Edition
City Travel Guides > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Lora D. Delwiche, Susan J. Slaughter

October 15, 2003
During my first week on the job as an actuarial analyst, I got handed a copy of this book and told to teach myself SAS from it. I read every page of it and worked through every example, and by the end of the week I understood the basics of using SAS, but not much else. This is an excellent book for someone who has never seen SAS before in their life; it assumes no prior knowledge and teaches everything from scratch. However, your average SAS user isn't going to be using this program to simply calculate means and variances, and this is where this book fails. The most complex statistics this book covers are simple things, like means and variances, and it is necessary to purchase further manuals if you are interested in learning more advanced techniques. ...

.Photoshop Elements 6 For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))
City Travel Guides > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Barbara Obermeier, Ted Padova

December 17, 2007
Book is okay but using the Adobe Elements web page showing "how to" videos is much easier to understand. Also Adobe offers a $79 video workshop which is worth the money if you want to learn. I probably would not buy the book again.

.Building powerful and robust websites with Drupal 6
City Travel Guides > Books > Computers and Internet
by: David Mercer

February 01, 2008
Inspect the book that you receive from Amazon carefully -- check total pages against the TOC. There are defective books circulating. They look identical to the "correct" books -- in thickness and even with respect to the Production Reference in the inside cover. However, the defective book has some 40 pages missing!

Amazon first sent me a book that was incomplete, and then followed with a replacement book that likewise was incomplete. (Took 1 month and three attempts before I ever saw a complete book.)

.ProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income
City Travel Guides > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Darren Rowse, Chris Garrett

May 05, 2008
Are you thinking about starting up a blog and using it as a means of supplementing your income? Then this is a must-have book. It goes through every step of the blogging process. Some the topics covered are how to choose a niche topic, how to find a host, how to write for blogs, how to introduce advertisements to your blog, and how to promote your blog. It even gets into the topic of buying and selling blogs for those who are interested in getting into the digital real estate market.

What I found to be really useful is that the authors introduce a lot of sites that are beneficial for bloggers. You'll learn where bloggers gather to share ideas about how to run their sites and also sites with useful tools for bloggers are also introduced.
