Title: Networking for Dummies, Sixth Edition Publisher: For Dummies Authors: Doug Lowe, Doug Lowe Rating: 1/5  Who this book is for: This book is intended to help the absolute beginner in computer networking get a basic overview of the issues and terminology involved. It is well-written and contains some of the typical "dummies"-humor helping to keep the text easily digestable. What this book is NOT: A how-to manual that will get your network going if you're sitting in front of a screen clueless on a Sunday morning. That said: after reading this book you won't be clueless any more. On to the detailed contents. The book is divided into six parts: Part I: The absolute basicsNo further info necessary: How to open up your computer, so that you can install a networking card, for example. Part II: Building your own networkPlanning you network; making basic choices of e.g cabling etc. Part III: Network management for dummiesBasic network management: making backups, taking care of security Part IV: Webifying your networkCreating the connection to the internet; creating websites Part V: More ways to networkMiscelaneous, like: networking your home, dial-in networks and non-standard hard-/software (MacIntosh; Linux etc.) Part VI: The part of tensA number of top-ten lists, partially amusing, partially useless As I wrote: the book is really good in helping you to obtain an overview of the types of networks that exist and the different terminologies/choices involved. Once you have made a decision that you will need/want to create a network involving operating system X running on computers of type y, you will probably need to get another, more specific book to help you dig deeper. If you haven't made that decision yet: Go get this book!

Title: MCAD Developing and Implementing Web Applications with Microsoft Visual C# .NET and Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Exam Cram 2 (Exam Cram 70-315) Publisher: Que Authors: Priti Kalani, Amit Kalani Rating: 5/5  This book cuts to the chase regarding what you need to know to pass exam 070-315. With a single page, Amit Kalani teaches the same key development skills that require about 6 pages of reading in the counterpart Microsoft Press Book. It's nice to have the MS Press books and VS.NET online help as references to answer questions that arise as you study, but you'll save valuable time with this book! I passed all three MCAD exams on the first try. By the time I got to the third exam, I realized that I only needed to study with this book to prepare and I scored a whopping 90%! NOTE: If you are planning to take the MCAD exams, please realize that nothing can replace real-world experience with VS.NET. Before using this book to cram for the exam, get a solid understanding of C# and ADO.NET. I recommend "Inside C#, Second Edition" by Archer & Andrew Whitechapel and "Microsoft ADO.NET (Core Reference)" by Sceppa.

Title: MySQL (3rd Edition) (Developer's Library) Publisher: Sams Authors: Paul DuBois Rating: 5/5 This book is very well written and fills a gap among MySQL users for good printed documentation. As the book becomes more popular, it will expand the use of MySQL. My only suggestion would be that copies of the examples and any errata should be posted on a web site.
