.Information Dashboard Design: The Effective Visual Communication of Data
City Travel Guides > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Stephen Few

January 01, 2006
This book is very nicely written in easy to understand manner. The format and layout of the content itself communicates importance of visual aspects at core.
Usage of colors and presentation of data are eye openers for BI Professionals like me. I mean, most of these years after seeing all those animated charts and sweet looking dashboards (from all big BI vendors), the real meaning was somewhere had been lost. I think this book is must read for everyone who needs to present data, and not only for people who design Dashboard.
THIS IS PRACTICAL!

.Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Best Practices
City Travel Guides > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Ben Curry, Bill English

July 12, 2008
When deploying SharePoint, it is critical to plan for not only what you need now, but for how it will grow and scale down the road, especially when Document Management is involved. If you don't plan adequately for searchability, scalability, or disaster recovery, you can easily run into problems.

One criticism I have had of many SharePoint books is that they are written from a technical perspective and explain how to install and configure SharePoint, but they gloss over the critical planning stages or the best practices for scalability.

As the name of this book indicates, this is a very thorough guide covering the best practices for planning, deploying, optimizing, and organizing SharePoint. This book is not necessarily ... Read More:

.Non-Designer's Design Book, The (3rd Edition) (Non Designer's Design Book)
City Travel Guides > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Robin Williams

February 22, 2008
Turned the light on for me as to why my fliers, brochures and business cards were so hard to really "get." Because I'm a visual artist I hadn't thot I needed any help. How wrong I was! This book is great for beginners, it's short and sweet, and great bathroom reading!

.CSS: The Missing Manual
City Travel Guides > Books > Computers and Internet
by: David McFarland

August 24, 2006
I found this book to be very good. I usually have a hard time reading an entire book on technical subjects like this, but this one kept my interest. The tutorials are very good and give real world examples. I highly recommend downloading and completing the tutorials. Many times I found myself saying, aha, so that how you do that. I went from practically no knowledge of css to being able to create css based web designs like a pro. Highly recommended.

.Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 Classroom in a Book
City Travel Guides > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Adobe Creative Team

May 24, 2007
I had to buy this book for a class. I have used the CIB series before and have enjoyed them. But, I read the reviews and I felt like why the school would even get this book. But, it is not that bad for just learning the bare minimum basics. There were some errors though. You had to download updateds for a few chapters online, which can be a pain. I have never used Dreamweaver before, so it seemed to help me learn the basics. But the class is now over and we were required to do all of the chapters. I just don't feel like I am extremely comfortable with Dreamweaver. I feel like I just skimmed the surface. Some of the chapters lacked detail (especially the form chapter (Chapter 10) and Publishing to the Web (Chapter 12). I found myself going over and over some things just to find that there ...

.Sams Teach Yourself SQL in 10 Minutes (3rd Edition) (Sams Teach Yourself)
City Travel Guides > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Ben Forta

April 10, 2004
This book is excellent! I am a Web developer who has seen SQL code from other developers in my sites for years. I didn't understand any of it. I bought this book in the hopes of being able to work with database information myself.

In just a few minutes of reading the book, the light suddenly came on and everything became much clearer! I am happily writing my own SQL scripts now and I went through half the book in one night and the other half the next day! I've never learned so quickly from a book.

I especially appreciated that the author provides links to the SQL scripts you'll need throughout the course. And the appendix that described how to execute the scripts depending on which database you are using is fantastic!

If you need to learn SQL quickly ... Read More:

.The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering, Anniversary Edition (2nd Edition)
City Travel Guides > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Frederick P. Brooks

August 12, 1995
The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering is a book on software project management by Fred Brooks, whose central theme is that "Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later." This idea is known as Brooks's law, and is presented along with the second-system effect and advocacy of prototyping. The work was first published in 1975, and republished as an anniversary edition in 1995 (ISBN 0-201-83595-9) with the essay "No Silver Bullet" and commentary by the author.

Brooks's observations are based on his experiences at IBM while managing the development of OS/360. He had mistakenly added more workers to a project falling behind schedule. He also made the mistake of asserting that one project -- writing an Algol compiler -- would require six months--regardless ... Read More:
