Computing Internet Books

I've received my books on time in perfect condition
Keep up the good work!

Pocket Consultants have always proved invaluable, and the Windows Server 2008 Pocket Consultant is no different. It's 650 pages, clearly written and packed with useful information while focussing on the core features of the operating system. This book starts things off right with in-depth information that is easy to find and easy to understand. A must have for administrators. I can't wait to pick up Stanek's Windows Server 2008 Inside Out as well.

Author William Stanek is well known for his excellent "Pocket Consultant" series from Microsoft. This book like his others is very well written and contains in depth information you can use immediately. This important book is designed to accommodate system administrators and developers at every experience level. I use it as a reference and it is always near at hand when I am on the computer.

This isn't meant to be an all in one, but I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of information this book provides. Author Stanek really knows how to pack in useful details in a way that's always clear, precise and helpful. A bonus is it fits nicely in a backpack even though its 647 pages!

Stanek's books are my go-to resources for learning new technologies. Whenever Microsoft releases a new product I look to see if he has a book on it so when Microsoft finally released Windows Server 2008 I was happy to see he'd written not only one book but two: Windows Server 2008 Administrator's Pocket Consultant and Windows Server 2008 Inside Out. I ordered both and have been using the pocket consultant for several weeks now.

Windows Server 2008 Administrator's Pocket Consultant zeroes in on core support and administrative tasks. The book is focused and precise, covering in 650 pages more than most books do in 800 or 900 pages. I've learned a lot and every section clears up something or gives expert insights in ways I wouldn't have thought of myself.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone upgrading from previous versions and any current administrators. For day to day work it can't be beat. Great work, William!

I like the book, having skimmed my way through most of it, but I wish I didn't have to buy it. In other words, I wish I didn't own Vista Home Premium SP1. This piece of Sh_t has BSOD crashed more times in the 6 weeks I've used it than in the 3 years I used XP Pro SP2. The book warned me that Vista doesn't handle USB external HDDs well, & it is true. I rip my CDs to an external HDD. Rips fine. When I try to shut down Windows Media Player 11, I get a BSOD "IRQL_Not_Less_Than_Zero" error (or something like that...), crash then a reboot that never reboots. I have to shut the power off, then go through the whole "Windows did not start correctly" BS. I'm getting an Apple....

This book made the change EASY!!

Going from XP to Vista was a snap with the help of this book. If you are like me, a very amateur PC user used to XP, this book will make the switch to Vista painless and even fun.

This book is written for intermediate users, not beginners, and it is the best. When I purchased a new computer, it came with Windows Vista. So I bought 3 books on Vista, including Microsoft's own "Windows Vista Inside Out". I have found this book consistently more helpful in making the operating system do what I want it to do, rather than what Microsoft thinks it ought to do. It is clear, concise, and humorous; and that makes it easy to read. I just wish it had included a CD of the book, also.

For the advanced user, this book is a gold mine of information! I've bought half a dozen books on Vista, and this is the one that turned out to be actually quite useful. (The others, although quite thick, still mostly just cover basic stuff I already know.)

Sometimes, a book in the Annoyances series is one that you can use to fine-tune an application you use often. And then there's this one... Windows Vista Annoyances by David A. Karp. Regardless of whether you hate Vista or think it's the best Windows OS out there, you'll be finding useful and applicable tips on every other page here. Vista is just tailor-made for a book like this, and Karp takes full advantage of the opportunities.

When I bought my new laptop , it came loaded with Vista. Since it was pretty early in the Vista release cycle, I thought it would be good to learn it since adoption would be widespread in a short period of time. Yeah, right. Vista turned into one of the most annoying operating experiences of my life. Slow performance, endless "do you really want to..." dialog boxes, reboot times that took forever... While you can't get rid of the overall pain of Vista (unless you "upgrade" to XP or a Mac), you can use Karp's information to lessen the daily headaches. For instance, he takes you into the Performance Options settings to help you figure out what eye candy you can live without so that you actually get work done. He shows you how to tweak the registry to eliminate the menu opening delay. He also goes into some depth on how to get Vista set up to greatly reduce the start-up time (and that's a MAJOR accomplishment). And that's just a fraction of what you'll find here that will find immediate application in your life with Vista.

It's always a good thing to get a decent reference guide to the major software packages in your life. Vista is no exception. But there's a few packages where you need someone to tell you how to *live* with the less-than-stellar results on your screen. Vista's the poster child for that. Windows Vista Annoyances should be *very* close at hand as you work with the operating system. Assuming you haven't already switched to something else...

This book by Marsh Collier is as about as good as it gets. It is easy to understand. Though the book was written a few years ago, all of the information is still relevant. A few of the tools, etc. that are listed and described are revised on eBay's site, but the changes are rather minor and her how-to lessons are perfect. I highly suggest anyone wanting to buy and/or sell on eBay purchase this book. A++

Very interesting read. Alot of great insider tips. I'm looking forward to getting started with an eBay business after reading this book. I read it cover to cover, but it can also just be used as a reference book.

The book was a lifesaver. It was in good condition and came in a timely manner.

I had been dabbling on eBay for auctions only when I considered opening an eBay store as my retirement job. This was the first book I purchased to help me achieve that goal. It totally answered all the pros and cons of opening a store, and based on that information, I decided to 'go for it'. Mostly it was the mechanics I was interested in - and Marcia Collins provided those answers regarding fees, creating an About Me profile, Selling Manager, store listing times & fees, sourcing products, record keeping, and more. I've also purchased a book by Suzanne Wells ~ the Ebay Coach
specifically aimed in more detail toward helping Stay-At-Home Moms (SAHMs) achieve these goals Stay-At-Home Mom's Guide to Successful eBay^® Selling. In less than a year, I achieved Power Seller status! Based on that information, after becoming more experienced, I've joined eBay Specific Seller forums, learned to network on WAHM-SAHM boards, and created a successful Blog where I share the tips I've benefited from. If you are simply interested in setting up a store and just starting out and want to know the basic details of how an eBay store business functions, this book is written in language that speaks towards that reader.

I purchased this as a gift for a friend because I owned the previous edition. The book is well written and contains a lot of practical advice and reference material about various facets of starting and running an Ebay business. It is also written from a point of view of a person with a non-technical background (that is, in computers or finance) who was forced to make a living off Ebay and succeeded at that. The book thus concentrates on extracting revenue from general merchandise using Ebay as a re-distribution channel. Naturally, all-around books always overlap with other sources. On-line help from the Ebay site, if you do not get lost in it, would shave off a good quarter of this book, and if you are literate in on-line 'data mining' and computers in general, another good portion of this book is superfluos. Also, most of the practical advice about using wholesale outlets and on-line stores is useless outside of the USA. All that said, this is a good all-around book for starters and it can serve as that last push that gets you going, if you are still uncertain about Ebay business.

I just bought this book from O'Reilly Safari Books Online. I was mostly looking for some good intermediate-to-advance discussion of SOA principles and service design basics. This book delivers on the promise. Definitely, a good addition to a software architect's SOA library of books.

This offering from Thomas Erl provides valuable details on the creation of Service Contracts from the Analysis to Modeling to Design phases. In addition to this, an approach towards applying SOA Principals to improve the quality of the Contract is identified. The latter sections of the book provided interesting materials on OOAD versus SOA as well as discussions on the organizational impacts. This book appears to be one of the further drill downs coming from the Author as the Patterns book will be next along with other more specific materials on Governance etc. Highly recommend this and have found my clients are big proponents of his materials.

The book is a great read and furthers the understanding of what Service Orientation is actually about. As a side issue, the book is beautifully composed.

What this book is not: it is not a handbook for architecting an SOA (try Erl's other book, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA): Concepts, Technology, and Design (The Prentice Hall Service-Oriented Computing Series from Thomas Erl), for this). Nor is this a book for developers looking for code examples, WSDL pointers, or the like -- there's no code in this book, other than sparse snippets of XML schema.

What this book *is*: a stellar handbook for designing the services that participate in an SOA. If you have designed a suite of services and are looking to improve them, or are about to design a suite of services . . . then you're irresponsible if this book isn't on your desk. In particular, this book helps you think, in a structured way, about what makes *good* services.

The book starts (part I, about 100 pages) with a drive-by overview of service-orientation and design principles -- not much new here, but gets you in the mood.

Part II, the meat of the book (about 300 pages) gives you what you're really looking for: crisp, interrelated, cohesive principles for designing quality services:
- Contracts
- Coupling
- Abstraction
- Reusability
- Autonomy
- Statelessness
- Discoverability
- Composability
Rather than just ticking these off, Erl describes each principle in terms of the other principles, provides an analytic framework for assessing suitability and compliance, describes both positive and negative characteristics of the principle, and illustrates the principle in the context of an imaginary case study (surprisingly effective -- rather than the usual banal dialogues, the "case studies" include practical guidance and analytic insights). Throughout, as other reviewers have noted, the production quality is great (solid, consistent diagramming and easily-readable/flippable layout).

Part III has a useful comparison between OOAD and service orientation, a useful processes/glossary/roles section, and some bookkeeping.

Not a good book for academic study or indstry practice. 500+ pages, most of them are useless talking :< Don't waste time here.

I just got the book a few days ago so i have not done much reading in it yet but i have to comment on one major flaw with my copy. The entire book was printed upside down. So when you open the book up with the cover right side up the first page is actually the last page upside down. I have never received a book like this before. My girlfriend laughed when she saw me reading my book upside down. It looks like i am pretending to read it or something. I am sure I will get many strange looks when reading this at the local coffee shop or any where in public. O well, its not worth sending back I guess. Otherwise the book appears to be a good book but time will tell as i get to read it more. It feels so strange to flip it over to the back upside down before opening. I wonder if any one else will get any of these freak copies.

Great book that beginners and experts alike can gain valuable knowledge from. Though you really need to know a little bit about Java or C so that you have a little background on programming so you will have something to compare it to Cocoa programming.

It's the best book i know for programming on Mac OSX !

Thanks from Berlin Germany !

Honestly, I was quite apprehensive because I'm a newbie to programming, with just a passing knowledge of Objective-C (gained from online resources). However, after going through 80% of the book (and looking forward to the next few chapters), I can say that this is definitely a great resource for any beginner who wants to learn how to write Cocoa programs. At the same time, concepts which I first found difficult to comprehend in Apple's online documentation became much easier to understand after they were discussed in the book.

IMHO, anyone interested to become a Mac developer should read this amazing book + Apple's great online documentation. I guess the only way to improve it would be to include sections on iPhone development for the 4th edition. Thanks for a great book Mr. Hillegass, and for making Cocoa fun to learn! =)

This book is excellent. The explanations are short and very clear. The author makes cocoa really easy to learn, step by step. There are good and instructive exercices he calls challenges.
You can really get to work right after reading this book and completing the so called challenges. And it will certainly be a handy reference book.
A must have.

I am pretty new to the internet business concept, so I knew that this DUMMIES book would be a good start. The book is filled brim to brim with loads of information, more than I expected. It will take a while to finish, because it really covers so much ground. And as usual, it matches the witty and fun style used in the DUMMIES books, which is good for people who are easily bored in reading educational books. I recommend it to anyone looking for a thorough but fun book written by an expert.

This book is a good read for the price. It's really informative but the bad thing is that it says it comes with a cd but it doesn't.

I have boughten several of the for dummies series and found them to be quite helpful. One of the series is the one listed above. I found it to be very informative. I have not completed the book, but intend to finish it. So I can get my online company up and running. The book has given me a lot of new ideas in starting a strictly online business.

This book is useful when you are just starting an online business. Just make sure you buy the latest version so that some information is not outdated by the time you are ready to set up your online business.

I just got this book last week and I'm not even done with it and have gotten so many 'nuggets' that it has more than paid for itself already! It's well written, easy to understand, organized extremely well for easy reference and full of helpful resources.

The section on 'Keeping it legal' saved me great error already (I was going to buy a domain name that could've infringed on a copyright) and I have found several free web builders online that are 10x's better than what I had been using. There's so much practical information in this book that I no longer feel guilty for buying it new.

This book is zero fluff, tons of examples and free or very reasonable resources, and lots of food for thought. The table of contents is so detailed that it makes for a quick reference (does anyone read a book like this cover to cover?) Greg Holden's writing style is personable and to the point and very easy to understand.

I truly don't understand all the reviews that say this book is no good, not sure what they have been reading, but I have no less than a dozen books of this nature, and this is one of the few that isn't 75% fluff. I'm somewhat of a website newbie, starting about a year ago trying to do my own website. It's alot harder (for me)than I originally thought and have tried no less than 6 different hosting accounts, 4 different online web builders, and 6 different web editing software trials (Expressions, dreamweaver, publisher, coffee cup, page spinner and frontpage). One of the best discoveries in this book was that Firefox offered a FREE...quality...web editor!

This is the 2007 edition, maybe people were referring to the earlier version of the same title. I have gotten way more out of this book than I thought I would. I guess I must be a true "Dummie". It's definitely worth your time checking it out if you are new to the online business world, you can always resell it on Amazon and recover your moola.

Useful reference and the eBook (pdf) has been invaluable. Unfortunately, the pdf is locked which restricts copy/paste (which would be great for documentation). This booke is not a sit down and read from cover to cover, but a go to book for research/reference.

This book covers most of what an administrator needs to know, very acurate information. I use this book all the time for reference because you can't retain everything that's in this book, it's a great tool for studying for MS Exams.

The sheer amount of information presented in this volume is impressive in and of itself. The depth and quality of coverage into the many topics varies, and there's no one topic covered in totality, but this is the "one" book. English et al. nailed coverage across topics i.e. in scope and breadth. This is certainly not the book for beginners; there is a degree of basic SharePoint knowledge assumed, and you'll need to go elsewhere for deeper developer discussion (e.g. Pattison and Larson) or specifics on administration (various blogs). But if you're to make a career out of SharePoint 2007, you'll need most if not all of the information that's contained in this book. It's nice to have it in one reference.

If this companion where a living entity, I would kick it off my team.

Having an O'Reilly safari account I read through it and was very disappointed in that it doesn't cover some of the basic functionality that might be expected from a companion.

As for the hype, don't buy it to it!

This book is geared toward readers such as Web Developers, Information Management / Compliance Specialist, Administrators to name but a few. If you are a beginner to Sharepoint Server 2007, this book will be a most difficult read. The concepts and topics that are presented will have to be re-enforced with online research or the purchase of another book.

To give an example.
The book is composed of six sections, with the first three ( 663 pages in length ) being targeted towards administration and configuration. However, within this mix we have presentations on performance monitoring and MOM 2005, high level discussions on information security policies such as password and storage policies, data classification. We are introduced to advanced Enterprise topics such as the Business Data Catalogue and records compliance ( that is the Sarbanes Oxley Act etc. ). These discussions all assume prior expertise and should you be new to Sharepoint Server 2007 this will no doubt frustrate you. The Authors, in their quest to appeal to a wide variety of readers, cannot delve into the in-depth explanations, followed up by well worked out examples that a beginner to Sharepoint Server 2007 would require.

Web Developers will tend to focus on Sections 5 and 6. While these sections do introduce Workflow Services, Webparts and products like Sharepoint Designer I found the overriding theme is again one of high level discussion and overviews. Expertise is assumed.

Overall I would say that if you are coming from a background with some expertise in Sharepoint Server 2003 or you require a high level picture of the abundance of features that Sharepoint 2007 can bring to your organisation in addition to how it integrates with other server platforms, such as ISA 2006 for example, you will enjoy this book and the nuggets of useful information it provides. The writing style is not engaging; this book is not a joy to read but it will tell you what can be done with Sharepoint Server 2007, outline best practices and point you in the correct direction. The how-to part is very much left to yourself.

If however, your goal in purchasing this book is an in-depth knowledge of the installation, administration and configuration of Sharepoint 2007 and you have no prior expertise with Sharepoint Server 2003 or indeed 2001, then you will gain little benefit from this book. You will find it difficult to read, difficult to digest and your understanding of Sharepoint 2007 will not improve. If anything, you may be discouraged from using Sharepoint Server 2007 which would be a shame as the product is in my opinion really good. Regards.

I just got this book to help clean up my Group Policy environment, which is still Windows Server 2003. The book helped with all aspects of what I needed to do, which is optimize GPOs, settings, and now I have faster logons. I plan on moving to Windows Server 2008 and Vista , so I started to implement Group Policy Preferences to eliminate my logon scripts. I was able to do that for all of my existing clients too, which are all Windows XP! After using the book to clean up what I had and implement new technology, I would suggest this book to everyone, from novice to advanced GP guru.

This book is on Server 2008 and Vista Group Policy and is organized in 15 chapters. This is more of a book for architects and IT managers than administrators.

The table of contents

1. Why Group Policy?
2. What's New
3. Group Policy Basics
4. Architecture of Group Policy
5. Group Policy Processing
6. Using the GPMC (useful for admins)
7. Advanced GPMC Management (useful for admins)
8. Controlling GPOs with Scripts and Automation
9. Security Delegation for Administrations of GPOs
10. ADM Templates, ADMX Files and the ADMX Store
11. Customizing ADM Templates and ADMX Files
12. Group Policy Preferences
13. Settings Breakdown
14. Advanced Group Policy Management
15. Troubleshooting GPOs (useful for admins)

If you're an administrator, you'll find about 1/3 of the book is useful, the rest less useful. Some of the best parts of the book are Chapters 3, 6, 7 and 15 but these are very much a repeat of Windows Group Policy Guide.

Well I was referred to this book and I am glad that I was. There are a TON of new features to the GPO's in W2K8 and Vista and this book goes over them. It's written in a way that explains the new features and then expands into them, very good index and a format that is easy to find what your looking for as it's laid out like the GPO's are. For instance, if your looking for Group Policy Preferences, and you open the book you can easily turn to the section headers and find it, or turn to the Table of contents, or turn to the index. But for me, I tend to be a flipper, I look at the page headers and flip till I get close. Additionally the book is written in the style where the author talks to you, person to person style, for instance, 'You can control the settings as if you were controlling the computer itself' Page 319, Group Policy Preferences. I have had the book for 3 days now and I have it booked marked with several yellow stickies and many page references memorized. Lastly I'd say this book is a much needed companion to the Windows Server 2008 Administrator Companion or the Configuring Windows Server 2008 Book. Best $$ I have spent on a Book this year.

If you're looking for a comprehensive resource on the latest improvements and capabilities within Group Policy, this is the book to get and Derek is the author to write it. Derek has intimate inside knowledge of features such as Advanced Group Policy Management (AGPM) and the new and powerful Group Policy Preferences and shares that knowledge within this book. He also provides a great reference on topics such as ADM & ADMX, automating Group Policy management through scripting, delegation and everyday use of the GPMC. This is a excellent reference to have by your desk!

This book is a great addition to your collection of Microsoft Publications, when it comes to understanding the new technology. Unfortunately, that is not really the point of a resource kit. I can log onto Microsoft's Technet and gather all of the same information that this volume has to offer. In my opinion, the resource kits are suppose to be there for the common administrator, providing him with tools to help in his administration. This is where the book falls short.

The author spends a lot of time explaining how group policy is applied, what built-in tools you use to modify the settings, where the technology originated from, and how it came to be in Microsoft's Server 2008. He never gets into the specific settings, or establishes a best practice, or gives tips to make your life as an administrator easier. I felt very disappointed to learn that he just blew by the environmental portion of Group Policy preferences. I would've really loved to learn more on that.

There are a few points in the book that provide a step by step for enrolling different features, which is helpful. The troubleshooting section at the end might prove useful in a break-fix situation.

Another review mentions scripting in the book. The scripts review how to create, delete and import GPO's. I don't find any value in that, as most administration is done in the GPMC. This is due to the fact that it would take longer to write a script to create a GPO, than it would to just create one. The only benefit I could see with this, is if someone were to deploy several forests at the same time, which is highly unlikely.

Overall, I would only recommend this book to new administrators, to give an understanding of group policy, and to stimulate creative thought on the different features offered out there by this massively updated technology. Otherwise, please, consider other avenues. Your time would be better spent just using the Group Policy Management Console, and deploying policies in a test environment, than reading this book.

Type "Microsoft Help and Support" in your favourite search engine and then click on the link which leads to the page. In the upper right hand corner type in "70-236" (note: do not type in the ISBN number as it will not return any results - contrary to what Microsoft says) and you will then see a link for the errata page for the book in question. You can use this for any of the Microsoft Press Training Kits (each of which has a pretty staggering amount of typos). This 70-236 Training Kit has so many typos that the errata listing had to be broken down into two separate links each of which contains dozens and dozens and dozens of corrected errors. Trying to use any of these Training Kits without access to the errata pages is aggravating beyond belief - especially when attempting to to the labs - but the written information tends to both informative and well-written. Hope this helps...

I was amazed at how poorly a book can be written. Where was the editor on this book? DO NOT purchase this book to pass exams. You will get things wrong on the exams because of this book and the poor explanations.

Next at a time when CD's at the end of the book contain video and audio, perfectly matched questions to the book and explanations to the answers that allow you to click back to the section to read why the answer they chose is correct, this book DOES NOT do that at all. The questions on the CD had to come from a completely unrelated source.

Please look at the other books for Exchange like Sybex 047018146X. Two exams are covered and it is reall comprehensive. (No I am not associated with the publisher), but I did use the book to easily pass the exam.
It has a CD that contains:
SYBEX TEST ENGINE:
Test your knowledge with advanced testing software. Includes all chapter review questions and bonus exams.

ELECTRONIC FLASHCARDS:
Reinforce your understanding with flashcards that can run on your PC, Pocket PC, or Palm handheld.

Also on CD, you'll find the entire book in searchable and printable PDF. Study anywhere, any time, and approach the exam with confidence.

OR Microsoft Exchange Server 2007: Tony Redmond's Guide to Successful Implementation (Paperback)which has more practical information which can be used in the field.

4 stars if it did not have errors.
I bought this book and am currently rereading it. I passed the 70-236 with more than the help of this book. I think the book is a good book to learn Exchange 2007. Unfortunately, it has A LOT of errors. Make sure you go to: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947010/en-us to make the listed corrections to your book. Some are not listed yet (i.e. the Quick Check Answer at the bottom of p233 has a period that should not be there).

This book is HORRIBLE. This is my 3rd Microsoft book that I have purchased and I will not be buying any more. My logic was "a Microsoft book should help me pass a Microsoft test right?" WRONG.

First of all, the book is FILLED with blatant mistakes and misspelled words. A pattern I've noticed with the Microsoft books is that they fill you with 95% of stuff that's not covered on the exam. So when you take the test, I can guarantee you will see things on the test that weren't in the book.

If you just need to learn about Exchange, then this book is fine for that (although the misspelled words and errors will still throw you off). But if you need a book to pass the exam, stay away from Microsoft. 95% of the Powershell commands that you need to know for the test are NOT in this book.

I truly believe this book series needs to stop advertising that it will adequately prepare you for the exam because it doesn't. And the fact that they couldn't even bother to check their facts and spelling makes me want my money back.

After 2(fulltime)days, i am at page 124!?!?!?!? Due to the poor editing examples walkthroughs etc. You spend your time more Googling for resolving errors and why stuff don't work like the writers intended to work. Now i am not a newbe in this field and working in the ICT for the last 10 years. I have installed on a 2003 box sql 2005 IIS6 and and exchange 2007. And used 2007 to get mail functionality within PHPBB. It took me almost a week(SQL rights with IIS6) and setting up the database. But after 2 days spending time to wrestle to page 124, you really are in pain. I also bought the other REDMOND book another reviewer opted. And will look if it gives the salvation i need.

Dear Orin and Ian, i know it's though to write a studyguide. With a hugh time constrain. Were also family man right!!!!! But the editing of this guide is really poor. There are smarter ways of telling things, wich cuts in editing time and headaches of your readers. Still the 70-291 is the best Microsoft study guide. I've red.
