Customer Review: This book gives you a fast overview of all aspects of Cognos and is written in language you can understand. You are going to need the Cognos reference manuals once you start developing but the book will help clear up areas the manuals do a poor job explaining.
Customer Review: Wow this is a great book. When I first opened up 'Building a Web 2.0 Portal with ASP.NET 3.5' I expected this to be just any old ASP.NET web development/admin book but I was very pleasantly surprised. Brevity is the champ here, with this book coming in at just under 300 pages but man the... more info
Customer Review: This was a "why not?" read. I was surprised to find it a decent introduction to Active Directory. It mainly deals with the background information as it attempts to explain what is Active Directory. This is not really an AD management book. If you are looking for a "How to" book, this book... more info
Customer Review: It is not "ADO for Dummies" or a tedious quick tutorial. Have a working handle on either C# or VB going in because it's not going to explain it.

Track Changes) but this was far too basic: too much coverage of simple stuff, not enough on what is new in the 2007 version of Office. This book is not as useful to me as the "Missing Manual" on Vista... more info
Customer Review: The world of mathematical analysis is changing, and for the people involved, doing so at ever younger ages. As a Physics teacher, much of the mathematical modeling or problem solving strategies that come first to a student is something that I might say as a "brute force" method. While not an elegant... more info
Customer Review: I finally come across a very good ADO.NET textbook. The author has done an excellent job explaning everything that ADO.NET 3.5 has to offer. I really like the textbook structure. The problem/solution approch is awesome. that book is fully loaded with code sample, in which you face with a problem,... more info
Customer Review: THE BIBLE - this is how I call this book. I read this particular edition for the first time in February 2005. Several months later once again, and it's always at my desk. Enormous amount of priceless information. I don't think there has ever been any other publication that managed to cover so much... more info
