Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World Official Strategy Guide (Official Strategy Guides (Bradygames))

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Computers and Internet
by: BradyGames

November 04, 2008
This guide is straight-up not even worth purchasing, although it does have a thorough bestiary and a highly complete items section. However, along with minimal side quests and no "go out of your way just to get a legendary item" hints, all that this guide is pretty much useful for is a common-sense type walkthrough. If you truly want to achieve 100% within this game, I DO NOT recommend using this guide to achieve that goal. I have experience with playing most of the Tales series along with other games AND I've had my fair share at purchasing various guides for some of my games. By far, this guide happens to the worst issue of them yet.

-This guide does an incomplete and minimal inprofecient job at filling in side quests... there's ... Read More:

Digital SLR Cameras & Photography For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))
is well designed to teach amatuers like me on the different features of an SLR camera. I have had my Nikon D50 for 2 years and get very good results,but still need to learn so much more. That is the reason for buying the Dummies book....to remember all the ins and outs of lenses, f stops, ISO's and so much more I can turn to my copy of the dummies book to look up the information I need.

The PMP Exam: How to Pass On Your First Try (Test Prep series)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Computers and Internet
by: PMP, Andy Crowe

November 01, 2005
I am very happy with this book. I had registered for a review course ($995), but the course was canceled due to low enrollment. I considered enrolling for another review course, but I thought I would give self-study a shot first.I read the PMBOK and it seemed as though I was reading a foreign language. This book was the only source I used other than the initial read of the PMBOK. I think I was more confused after that, but this book really helped. It wasn't an overly dry read, and it really seemed to key in on important issues that you face on the test. As the name states, I did pass the test on the first try, using only this book, and I saved $995 off the price of the review course I had registered for! I am so glad the course was canceled! I would highly ... Read More:

Fable II Limited Edition Guide (Bradygames Limited Edition Guides)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Computers and Internet
by: BradyGames

October 14, 2008
I feel it is only appropriate that I begin with the problems that I had with this strategy guide and move on into the few points that I liked. This strategy guide suffers from several large problems ranging from inadequate indexes to obvious misprints. I am under the impression that the editors did not spend any time reading through their own guide before they sent it to press.

Many descriptions in the guide are printed under pictures that they don't belong to, and this is not an isolated problem. Every other page of this guide has very simple mistakes that could have easily been corrected, but for some strange reason never were. Strangely I haven't found many typos, which means that there was someone around to edit the text, but that the graphic design ... Read More:

Call of Duty: My Life Before, During and After the Band of Brothers

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Lt. Lynn "Buck" Compton, Marcus Brotherton

May 05, 2009
I have listen to all of the Band of Brother's books and watched the show many times. While going to Afghanistan, Germany, and other places. Finally there is more coming to light about these great Americans. With Buck you learn just how much of a hard and charmed life he has lead. From losing his Father to at a hard time, acting with famout people like Mickey Rooney. His life after WWII is just as interesting as any other time. Buck has shown a true zest for life while clearing up many misconceptions from the Band of Brothers shows and the book. In fact I highly recommend you read his buddie's book from Don Malarkey. I read them both back to back and they do compliment each other. I truly wish I could get Buck to speak at our Change of Command ceremony in a few weeks at the ... Read More:

Head First Java, 2nd Edition

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Kathy Sierra, Bert Bates

February 09, 2005
Perhaps if you're a total beginner to programming and probably more so you're under 15 you'll like this book. For me I just hate it, I know this is one of those reviews that is just the out lier to the negative but I would honestly warn people away from this book despite the copious amounts of good reviews on here. Basically I enjoy a book that is straight to the point and condensed. Also I enjoy a book that gives correct terminology and sticks to using it. This book spends pages to explain basic concepts and wastes large amounts of page space on pictures and cartoons so you end up just flipping through multiples pages just searching around for the useful information. In one night of light reading and scanning I've already moved to page 173 and every new page just annoys me more.

Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software (Addison-Wesley Professional Computing Series)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, John M. Vlissides

November 10, 1994
I thinks this is a great book for anyone wanting to learn or have a reference on design patterns. It does expect the user to know OO C++. It is definetly a book for software engineers to have on their collection.
