Essential ActionScript 3.0 (Essential) (Essential)

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Colin Moock

June 22, 2007
I really liked Mr.Moock's book, as it goes from the fundamentals to crystal clear object oriented programming. As an AS2 programmer I filled gaps to make a succesfull switch to ActionScript3.0, and got a good grip in Flex also. Recommended!

Counselor: A Life at the Edge of History

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Computers and Internet
by: TED SORENSEN

2008
Ted Sorensen, who was as much a Kennedy alter ego as he was a speechwriter, is the keeper of the Kennedy flame. In that capacity he wrote Kennedy's biography in 1965. But that book was wooden and lacking in perspective. This book is written after Sorensen has lived a full lifetime and enjoys the perspective of history. He's somewhat more capable of being critical of Kennedy than he was in 1965, but he's still a Kennedy booster. And this time around, he is armed with the vindication brought by 40 years of history. Best of all, Sorensen is capable, at this stage of his life, in being extraordinarily candid. The result is quite moving.

Sorensen's own life history -- his idealistic politician father, his mentally ill mother, and ... Read More:

Canon EOS Rebel XSi/450D Digital Field Guide

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Charlotte K. Lowrie

July 28, 2008
This book is a very good reference to use to learn the functions available for the XSi/450D camera. Much more user friendly than the instruction manual included by Canon with the camera.

Still full of lingo that the average user may not be familiar with. If there would be any improvements to this book, I would like to see a little more space devoted to describing and defining some of the more obscure photographic terms that the average user may not come across.

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

September 25, 2007
This book is not recommended to those who want to play Halo 3 without any know how on how to play but it is a very very good book to those that are struggling on Legendary difficulty or that you might just want to know some ways to do the levels as quickly as possible. Note: Sometimes some pages might fall off though.

Windows Vista: The Missing Manual

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

December 27, 2006
Windows Vista "the missing link" is too technical for me. It assumes the reader has complete mastery of Windows XP which I dont have, so I am not using the book much. I needed more of a cookbook!

The Principles of Beautiful Web Design

Childrens Toy Shop > Books > Computers and Internet
by: Jason Beaird

January 31, 2007
The Principles of Beautiful Web Design is an easy read but is full of ideas that help stimulate your creativity. It delves into many subtle psychological issues in web design that can make the difference between an "ok" website and a "beautiful" website. It is not primarily a technical book, so it can be understood without a knowledge of HTML and CSS.

Perhaps one of the most valuable aspects of this book is being able to see the developement steps Jason Beaird takes when going from concept to a final website. While it may not be a book you would pick up again after the first read, I would certainly recommend the "first read". It has many useful ideas that any web designer can personalize and implement.
