Linux Pocket Guide (Pocket Guide: Essential Commands)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Network Topics
by: Daniel Barrett

February 18, 2004
So many books are thick, wordy, and conceal their nuggets of wisdom, but not this one. It's not big, so you won't find full details on (eg) all of the many Linux email clients - but they get a mention.
Works well for me (ex BSD 4.x sysop in the 1980s) as well as friends with no previous knowledge of operating systems. It's the examples that are such a help - most of the things we've needed to do are covered with a brief, relevant example. We use it with Ubuntu mainly - Debian distros are not identical to Fedora but we've not seen a problem - both are Linux and conform to the POSIX standard.
Reading it cover-to-cover is logical, informative, and highly recommended. Three times, and the info is starting to stick..... Then keep it handy ... Read More:

The iPhone Developer's Cookbook: Building Applications with the iPhone SDK: Building Mobile Applications with the IPhone SDK (Developer's Library)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Network Topics
by: Erica Sadun

October 23, 2008
I was utterly disappointed with this book as I've been a long-time reader of Erica's posts on TUAW.com and have enjoyed her efforts on MacBreakWeekly and her less official iPhone development.

Unfortunately the problem with this book is that she is too experienced to talk to anyone but other experienced developers. With her 'Hello World' app, traditionally the first app you will learn to write in any language, you are told to throw away parts of the folder structure that Apple sets up in XCode, along with some of the pre-written code and use the code she writes with absolutely no real explanation of why. The net effect is to leave you utterly lost, not really knowing what you can and cannot do with the tools you are given.

Learning ActionScript 3.0 (A Beginner's Guide)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Network Topics
by: Rich Shupe, Zevan Rosser

December 13, 2007
I've got oodles of programming books and I'd put this one up with the best of my collection. It's carefully written to ensure all levels of experience and aptitude are catered for, I'd class myself as somewhere in the intermediates with a decent knowledge of actionscript 2 and I found it enormously useful.

All examples and diagrams make perfect sense, and the explanations they use have actually helped me come to terms with other programming paradigms I'd used but never fully understood.

Thoroughly recommend this one.

Nmap Network Scanning: The Official Nmap Project Guide to Network Discovery and Security Scanning

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Network Topics
by: Gordon Lyon, Fyodor

January 01, 2009
It's long been without argument that nmap, written by Fyodor, is a cut above the rest when it comes to network scanning. It should therefor be a surprise to nobody that Fyodor's book achieves a similarly high standard in explaining the hows, whys and wherefors of using this tool.

The book starts by giving us a solid grounding in the basics before moving onto standard scanning techniques such as discovery and port scanning. Of course being the book that it is this isn't your 10,000ft view of port scanning one IP address with a choice of three flags, the book goes into the detail you would expect with the sort of information that true afficianadoes lust after.

The book goes on to cover in detail a variety of other topics such as optimisation, ... Read More:

Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture (The Addison-Wesley signature series)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Network Topics
by: Martin Fowler

November 15, 2002
Like it or not, PoEAA has become one of those must-read books. It's clear and to the point, and I'm honestly struggling to say anything bad about it. The only issue is that it's so enterprise-heavy that if you haven't worked much with Enterprise apps, you'll end up bored and/or confused from the outset.

JavaScript: The Definitive Guide

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Network Topics
by: David Flanagan

August 17, 2006
I have owned this book for some time and I can honestly say it is unique. This is the only manual I have encountered that has been consistent in its inability to answer any query i have. Admitedly I am a Javascript novice but that's why I purchased this manual in the first place to help me understand javascript. The internet has quickly answered all my queries with ease and clarity, I really don't understand why this massive book is unable to do the same.
As I said above it's probably me, as you can see there are many glowing reports for this book. In my defense I have been involved in the IT world for many years and have relied on manuals to help successfully resolve issues.
This book continues to remain a mystery to me and I am seriously thinking of banishing ... Read More:
