Professional ASP.NET 3.5: In C# and VB (Programmer to Programmer)
by Bill Evjen, Scott Hanselman, Devin Rader
Average Customer Review: 5 stars based on 6 reviews.
Customer Review: Bill, Scott and Devin are long-time ASP.NET experts, and the authors of several best selling ASP.NET and .NET books. This latest book is outstanding and provides an excellent end to end resource for almost all things ASP.NET related (UI, AJAX, Data Access, Security, State Management, Deployment, etc). The book is very well organized,...

Pro C# 2008 and the .NET 3.5 Platform, Fourth Edition (Windows.Net)
by Andrew Troelsen
Average Customer Review: 4.5 stars based on 19 reviews.
Customer Review: Ho trovato un'ottima guida in questo libro. Gli argomenti trattati sono spiegati in maniera eccellente: breve introduzione, esempio banale e poi una trattazione approfondita dell'argomento. Un breve sommario conclude ogni capitolo e permette di fare un ripasso di quello che si e' letto all'occorrenza. E' un libro che consiglio sia a...

The Complete C.S. Lewis Signature Classics
by C. S. Lewis
Average Customer Review: 5 stars based on 63 reviews.
Customer Review: As a freshman in college, the concept of religion can be a very distant one. A man who is a leader of a spiritual organization on campus highly recommended CS Lewis, beyond the Chronicles of Narnia, and finally I decided I would see what the interest was about. I cannot believe I waited so long to experience such a fantastic author ...

Professional C# 2008 (Wrox Professional Guides)
by Christian Nagel, Bill Evjen, Jay Glynn, Karli Watson, Morgan Skinner
Average Customer Review: 5 stars based on 3 reviews.
Customer Review: 'Professional C# 2008' is one of those ginormous books that I usually (usually) complain is too big, too bloated, too MUCH but sometimes the exception is the rule and that is the case here. With 1750+ pages of material spread over 48 chapters and 3 appendixes, if you are looking for brevity and/or a simple learning book this is proba...

Head First Java, 2nd Edition
by Kathy Sierra, Bert Bates
Average Customer Review: 4.5 stars based on 203 reviews.
Customer Review: I am an instructor who was tasked with teaching a basic Java class even though I didn't really know the language. I had to learn it FAST. I looked at a lot of different Java books and this is the one I settled on. The style of the "Head First" books is unconventional and may seem silly on the surface but it is based on serious meta...

Pro LINQ: Language Integrated Query in C# 2008 (Windows.Net)
by Jr., Joseph C. Rattz
Average Customer Review: 5 stars based on 20 reviews.
Customer Review: No doubt about it. If you are learning/using LINQ, this is THE book to have. Author did an excellent job explaining the material and giving numerous examples, that work, about the material. Had to mention the "that work" part as I get so frustrated when I buy a book and the examples do not work. I could tell this book was a "labor o...

The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3 with CSS, Ajax, and PHP
by David Powers
Average Customer Review: 5 stars based on 18 reviews.
Customer Review: I have read many books on programming. While I have gleaned some value from just about every book, the page-count-to-learning ratio hasn't been great. And on a few occasions, I hit a roadblock where I simply wasn't getting what author was telling me I should be completely proficient with at that moment...anyone else experience that?...

PHP 6 and MySQL 5 for Dynamic Web Sites: Visual QuickPro Guide
by Larry Ullman
Average Customer Review: 4.5 stars based on 127 reviews.
Customer Review: Larry Ullman's extensive experience as a developer and writer shows. This book is very well structured and builds upon itself intuitively to the reader. The exercises are pragmatic. The only thing that he might have touched upon in this book is OOP--fortunately his book PHP 5 Advanced: Visual QuickPro Guide covers the subject exten...

Head First C# (Brain-Friendly Guides)
by Andrew Stellman, Jennifer Greene
Average Customer Review: 4.5 stars based on 33 reviews.
Customer Review: I'm going to agree with most of the other reviews here. I think this book is a spectacular learning device. I just finished the book off over two weeks, and feel like I've gotten more out of it than any other book by far. I still used some other books to get a little more in depth, but all in all I have no complaints. I think a new ...

Programming in Objective-C (Developer's Library)
by Stephen Kochan
Average Customer Review: 4.5 stars based on 40 reviews.
Customer Review: As its title suggests, this is an introductory level book on Objective-C. The current interest on Objective-C application is mounting presumably due to the imminent release by Apple Inc. of the software developer's kit for the iphone and the ipod Touch. As a novice in computer science (I actually had taken a 101 on BASIC in early co...
