Title: Programming Embedded Systems in C and C ++ Publisher: O'Reilly Authors: Michael Barr Rating: 1/5 The book is ok if you are a student or if you don't know what embedded systems are. Otherwise it is a total waste of money. For the expert it has no interesting information. C++ is only in the title.

Title: Writing Effective Use Cases Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional Authors: Alistair Cockburn Rating: 1/5 As we say in italian of someone who is pretending to be skilled in some area, or just plain doing something completely useless. This book is a disenheartening 250 pages of fluff...Could be reduced to 50 pages max and be marginally useful for someone who needs to work with use cases and has no experience with them. The only thing methologist are good at is finding methods to make bucks without doing anything even remotely beautiful or useful.

Title: Ad Hoc Wireless Networks : Architectures and Protocols (Prentice Hall Communications Engineering and Emerging Techno) Publisher: Prentice Hall PTR Authors: C. Siva Ram Murthy, B.S. Manoj Rating: 5/5 I needed a thorough introduction to Ad-Hoc Networks, and I discovered this great book. It is very well written and interesting to read. Moreover it covers fully the subject with great detail. I really enjoyed reading it. I would suggest this book to those who would like to enjoy a telecom book and be welcomed to the Ad Hoc technology. The introduction can fit even those that are not aware of WLan technology or wired protocols.

Title: Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 with ASP, ColdFusion, and PHP : Training from the Source Publisher: Macromedia Press Authors: Jeffrey Bardzell Rating: 5/5 I have 2 books about ColdFusion. This one and ColdFusion MX Bible. This book: Wonderful if you want to learn how to create applications with Dreamweaver MX 2004 specifically, as it goes through all the dialog based application development. The other book (ColdFusion MX Bible): Great if you want to learn how to hand-code applications using ColdFusion MX. Very in-depth covering all aspects of ColdFusion. This book does not deal with dialog based apps like Dreamweaver. You can hand-code with DW, however. Both books are excellent. I have both because I want to know the code behind my apps but I don't necessarily want to have to always type code.
