Title: Inside Microsoft SQL Server 7.0
Publisher: Microsoft Press
Authors: Ron Soukup, Kalen Delaney
Rating: 3/5
I was disappointed after I bought and read this book. Too many people gave it a five star. I will give this one 3.5 but this is not a choice in the drop-down box. SQL Server system tables and system stored procedures are very important. This books doesn't give me much information. Microsoft might not want DBAs and developers to really know the inside of SQL Server 7.0. OLAP and Data Warehousing are also two very important areas. I can't find these topics in the content. MSDN library is a much better resource for writing sql statements or queries. You will know the syntax and more examples. Overall, this is still a good book.
Title: SQL Server 2000 Stored Procedure Programming
Publisher: Osborne/McGraw-Hill
Authors: Dejan Sunderic, Tom Woodhead
Rating: 5/5
Finally good book on the market for stored procedures. This book "shoots" directly at the hart of problem. Developers need tips and advanced technics, and you have it here. I recommend this book for every professional who want to be the best in DB programming. Try it, you'll find for long time searched solutions, I suppose.RegardsNikola
Title: Core PHP Programming: Using PHP to Build Dynamic Web Sites (2nd Edition)
Publisher: Pearson Education
Authors: Leon Atkinson
Rating: 4/5
This is a well written, and useful book for the novice PHP programmer. It has nice examples, and a "down home" style that will appeal to people bored of the usually droll programming manuals. It is also an excellent reference manual for the experienced PHP programmer, and much better than the terse online doc available.The only negative worth mentioning is the quality of the printed material itself. It looks like the book was rushed to print -- the bindings have excess glue, and many of the pages are machine crinkled. Otherwise, I'm sure my copy will end up well worn and dog-eared ...
Title: Sams Teach Yourself Apache 2 in 24 Hours
Publisher: Sams
Authors: Daniel Lopez
Rating: 4/5
Setting up my first Apache server, I found this book to be an invaluable aid. It discusses Apache's range of capabilities, explains the internal processes involved in serving Web sites, and illustrates typical configuration options. The explanations are simple, straightforward, and organized, and the writing style is encouraging. If I have any complaint, it is that I ran into more build/installation snags with several third-party Apache add-ons than the book predicted. Your mileage will no doubt vary.
Title: PHP 5 Objects, Patterns, and Practice
Publisher: Apress
Authors: Matt Zandstra
Rating: 5/5
Learning PHP is easy and rewarding, but as your software grows you will need to know how to manage your code, work as a team, and break your problems down into well defined abstractions. This book gathers together all the tools you need in around 400 pages. Not too long considering its scope. It's a practical guide with an easy style that gets straight to the point. It's a great introduction not just to PHP 5 but to object oriented methods in general. If you're just getting started, or if you're an old hand and want to see how large scale applications can be written in PHP, I recommend you read this book.
