Ten Things Every Child with Autism Wishes You Knew

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Ellen Notbohm

March 19, 2007
A very easy and somewhat comforting read for parents still in the early stages of finding out they have a child with autism. Very positive and full of helpful insights and tips. A little sentimental at times but doesn't distract from author's overall message of how best to help your child reach their full potential. Vital reading! I will be passing on to family members and close friends.

Linux Pocket Guide (Pocket Guide: Essential Commands)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Computers and Internet
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 ... Read More:

The C Programming Language (2nd Edition)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Brian W. Kernighan, Dennis Ritchie

April 01, 1988
This is not the best book for those learning to program in C. It is probrably best suited for those who already have a little programming experience. The constructs are not always well presented and the examples suffer from being too computer science oriented (e.g. counting words in a sentence).

Overall, not exactly a tutorial or a reference but does provide a few pointers for intermediate level C programmers.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Book for Digital Photographers (Voices That Matter)

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

Firstly don't let the humour comments put you off - it' not that bad. What the book does for digital photographers is tell you how to post process for great results and how to do some neat effects; what it doesn't do is explain why or what some of the steps are for. If you are creative or want to understand the workings of CS3 then look elsewhere. I got the CS3 Bible as well (which does the opposite - give the how and why but not much about what you can achieve) and between the two I got what I needed.

The book is nicely illustrated and all the steps to get the effects are clear and easy to follow.
