.Google SketchUp For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))
City Travel Guides > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Aidan Chopra

July 02, 2007
THIS BOOK WAS EASY TO READ AND UNDERSTAND. THE AUTHOR WAS TOTALY HONEST, HE TALKED ABOUT THE STUFF HE KNEW, SPREAD OUT THE PRINCIPLES IN EASY TO UNDERSTAND CHUNKS, IF THE AUTHOR DID NOT KNOW SOMETHING, HE SAID SO, GAVE REFERENCES TO FIND OUT FOR ONES SELF.

IMHO, A PERFECT BOOK TO START WITH, '10', I NOW HAVE A PRETTY GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF GOOGLE SKETCH UP.

BECAUSE OF THIS BOOK, I WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT SKETCH UP.

good basic primer on the subject
price seems fair
great tips and tricks
good sense of 'oops' and how to fix them
the type was little ... Read More:

.Microsoft® Office SharePoint® Designer 2007 Step by Step
City Travel Guides > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Penelope Coventry

January 20, 2008
Fantastic instructional materials on how to use SharePoint Designer 2007 effectively! I made the mistake early on of buying SharePoint books that focused on infrastructure-related topics on SharePoint. This book provides practical and powerful insights on how to exploit the user-facing capabilities of SharePoint. I was cautious about purchasing a Step-by-Step series book due to my past experiences reading books in the series that had what I believed to be superficial content. This instance broke that mold in style. It was evident that the author not only has book knowledge of the subject, she also has practitioner knowledge. It seemed like she anticipated every question that I had as I read through the book. Excellent work!

.Xcode 3 Unleashed
City Travel Guides > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Fritz Anderson

July 27, 2008
I started this book, hoping to get a quick, friendly glimpse into how to use the new IDE and how to use Objective-C. I know that the book made no promises about to use ObjC, but I felt confident in my abilities to pick up the language itself. An introduction to the IDE was all I felt would be needed, so long as the use of the IDE also included early solid examples of ObjC and Xcode.

What I found early was a unwieldy example of cobbling together an interface and using a command line binary as the core of the executable. While nice, I didn't think this was necessary as an introductory example for a few reasons. One, it doesn't make mention early on about generic programming for common cases. Writing that command line app, then using pipes ... Read More:

.CSS: The Definitive Guide
City Travel Guides > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Eric Meyer

November 07, 2006
This book is very far from being a definitive guide to CSS. It's patchy and confusing and contains too few useful examples. It's printed entirely in cheap black and white, hence you have no idea what the colours do, and contains extensive coverage of features which have been removed from CSS over the years - not much use except for historians. The examples it gives are only a limited subset of CSS's possibilities and frankly they are almost all extremely ugly, discouraging the reader from wanting to try out the styles rather than attracting or inspiring him or her.

Further to this, I've repeatedly tried to master aspects of CSS using this book and repeatedly ended up frustrated, because it doesn't contain enough detailed information or illustrations ... Read More:

Simply put, this is the best tech book I've read on a topic in quite a while. The authors do a great job of covering almost all important topics of asp.net. For any given topic, the writing is easily readable, thurough, filled with examples, and a mimimum of full. If you want to learn about asp.net 3.5, start here.

Love the manual. Have used Excel and Word from the beginning, but upgraded to Office 2008 and ordered the manual at the same time. My old manual are dog eared and well used and this one is starting out the same way. Very useful. Would not hesitate to buy again.
