Database Systems: A Practical Approach to Design, Implementation and Management (International Computer Science Series)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Thomas Connolly, Carolyn Begg

May 24, 2004
I first used this book alot (second edition) when I had to teach a course to HNC and HND students at South East Essex college in 1999. It it the main book I used to put together my notes

Generally an excellent text-book. It doesn't quite carry the clout or precision of C. J Dates book on database systems, but it is far more practical. Not only are the explanations simpler, but there are more practical examples. Also because it is a newer book it is a little more up-to date. The fact that it includes examples in ACCESS as well is an added bonus for teachers and students who have no choice but to use ACCESS.

Certainly the best text for students at the HNC/HND level.

The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book for Digital Photographers (Voices That Matter)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Scott Kelby

September 18, 2008
Mr. Kelby always does a good job with all his books, but this is his best yet.Written in a clear, and concise manner, and the screen captures this time are readable without the aid of a magnifying glass. The book follows a good workflow throughout, and proves what a comprehensive programme Lightroom is. This is not evident at first or even second glance, and yet Mr. Kelby makes it all appear so easy, which few writers manage to attain with so called technical books, this is his big secret.
The book is also a valuable reference.

Windows Vista for Dummies (For Dummies)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Andy Rathbone

November 29, 2006
I received this as a gift from my other half when I bought a new laptop, which came with Windows Vista pre-installed. There's nothing much to complain about. The chapters are structured in a sensible way, and I find Andy Rathbone's tone really appropriate to the needs of the 'Dummies' series (I mean this as a compliment rather than a criticism). My only real criticism is that I don't think Windows Vista is half as far detached from XP as a lot of people try to insist. This isn't to say that the existence of this book is unnecessary, just that a lot of the material herein will be already known to a lot of those of us who used XP extensively. I'm not an advanced user or anything like that, but I felt that this book covered a lot of old ground, in Windows terms, ... Read More:

Mac OS X Leopard: The Missing Manual

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Computers and Internet
by: David Pogue

December 15, 2007
Yeah this is awesome. It can't be easy to make an instruction manual for an operating system interesting, but the author does it somehow. And the detail is great. I've been able to tell experienced MAC OS users a thing or two from having read this book. Recommended.

June 22, 2007
This is by far the best Dreamweaver book I've come across, its made a huge difference to the quality of the sites I build, The CSS tutorials are spot on and make you pick up things you thought were not possible. The author has a great understanding of how a 'rookie' web designer thinks and feels so hats of.

SPSS for Psychologists: A Guide to Data Analysis Using SPSS for Windows

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Nicola Brace, Richard Kemp, Rosemary Snelgar

March 31, 2006
Don't be put off by the title of this book if you are a non-psychologist. And don't be put off if you are a psychologist. If you need to learn SPSS from scratch quickly then this is the best book around. It teaches by example and the step-by-step explanations are remarkably easy to understand. I first learnt SPSS using the first edition of this book. Since then I have read several others. Now in its 3rd edition this one is still the best.
