.Getting to Know ArcGIS Desktop: The Basics of ArcView, ArcEditor, and ArcInfo Updated for ArcGIS 9 (Getting to Know series)
City Travel Guides > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Tim Ormsby, Eileen Napoleon, Robert Burke

June 01, 2004
The manual is well written, with an extreme emphasis on "doing things" rather than on "reading things". A little different, but I like the hands-on approach. It is definitely possible to read-ahead without actually doing the examples as, while they do build on each other, a new starting place (example file) is included for each logical breakpoint.

Having the full use of the software during this period is definitely an added bonus.

.Envisioning Information
City Travel Guides > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Edward R. Tufte

1990-05
Tufte follows up his debut classic with an even more beautiful piece of graphic art disguised as a guide to ways to display three (and more) dimensions on a flat surface.

While even more beautifully crafted than The Visual Display of Quantitative Information, 2nd edition, it has less in the way of practical guidance. Tufte's principle here can be reduced to this far-reaching but not so simply-implemented statement: increase the resolution of "flatland" (paper or computer screen) to show more data to increase clarity.

As usual, the principle is lavishly illustrated with beautifully-reproduced examples of good and bad ways of envisioning information. In fact, I have found Tufte's principle and illustrations are useful ... Read More:

.InDesign CS3 One on One
City Travel Guides > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Deke McClelland

January 04, 2008
I bought this as a supplement to starting a new job where I knew I was going to be focusing on more inDesign. The book works well as a reference as well as reading through it one chapter at a time. It's a great addition to my growing library.

.Java How to Program, 7th Edition
City Travel Guides > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Harvey M. Deitel, Paul J. Deitel

January 06, 2007
I purchased this text for my class on Java Programming. I never had experience with any Object Oriented Programming (OOP) languages such as C++, C# and Java before. I love the way that this text introduces the concepts "Object" and "UML" and tries to familiarize you with complex terminology and structure of Java. Sometimes you feel confused with terms such as method, class, argument, identifier adn etc., but the way that this text presents and gives the examples for each of them is excellent. Case Study examples are complete with thorough explanations and are "oriented to objects".

No doubt that I am confident in giving 5 stars to this text. However, I must mention couple cons I encountered in the text and I hope Authors will take'm into consideration ... Read More:

.Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid
City Travel Guides > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Douglas R. Hofstadter

February 04, 1999
This is a work of incredible depth and scope. From number theory to cognition to genetics, Hofstadter offers some incredible insights about the way we and the world work. One word of advice: don't worry if you can't understand all of his ideas. This book is so chock-full of content that most readers could spend a decade plowing through it, only to find that they've missed something important. Just read it. You'll get some of it, and that's enough.

.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, but at the time the best ... Read More:
