I'm on the internet everyday. By using the "You Are Here College Internet Guide" I am able to quickly review the subject matter of dozens of internet sites, FAST. This helps me avoid wasting time going through the numerous garbage sites listed by search engines. This book is a 'must have' for college students and for anyone who frequently uses the internet.

Until I purchased this book I spent most of my time on the Internet looking for the sites I wanted to see. With the "You Are Here College Guide" I spend more time using actual websites and less time lost in the search engines. Now everything I do on the Internet, from researching to online banking, is much easier. The Internet is a tool and here is a book explaining how to use it!

YAH College Internet Guide is fantastic! Parents, buy it for your kid
in college - they'll love it. Students, get one -- you'll find a site
you really needed to know about.

A great book for those interested in learning a new language. Anyone with a basic knowledge of programming will be able to understand it. Although it is suppose to be learned in 10 minutes, it actually takes 10 days, but the point here is that u would master it at the end of the book.

If you need to quickly learn Dreamweaver, this is the book to get!

The books introduction says excatly how I feel about Dreamweaver, its complexity, its feature rich environment, and its power to captivate you, the user, when you click "Save As..." for the first time and realize how simple creating a web page could be.

What the introduction does not say is exactly how I feel about the book now that it is done and available for you to purchase. Although I am disappointed that I was not able to write more about a program that truly amazes me every time I use it, it does offer a beginner's level introduction to a variety of the features that are at your fingertips. I know that afyer reading this short book, the wheels will begin to spin and you will be just as captivated and amazed by Dreamweaver as I have become over the years.

I create full web marketing plans for my clients who want to break into the Internet via the web with a focus on search marketing and call-to-action oriented content. This little book takes note of several emerging Internet-based marketing trends.

I was very impressed with this book. It lists 300 great web sites for pet lovers separating them into very helpful categories. From dogs, cats, rabbits, iguanas to rats and gerbils. The dog section is big, listing great sites from dog breeds to vet info to card making. It has got a pretty big cat section too. My thoughts are, if you can think of a pet subject, this book probably has it listed. If you love surfing out pet sites, you will love this book. It is a great reference book to have on your shelf. It comes in handy when you have a quick thing you want to look up regarding pets but are not sure where to start looking.

Where pets and information intersect! This book is incredibly useful in spotlighting sites for pet lovers of all ages. If you have pets, need advice on care or medical issues, want information on pets before you acquire them, or just want to find some fun sites, "300 Incredible Things For Pet Lovers on the Internet" is a book you must have!

As an excellent guide to getting started with accessibility and a must-have for anyone's reference collection, this book truly lives up to its name "Understanding the Section 508 Accessibility Requirements." Having been an Accessibility tester for 2.5 years now, I recommend this book to anyone working with or considering Accessibility support.(...)

I know that Mr. Mueller writes great books--from reading other books he's written. You can rely on his depth of research, and the clarity of this writing. If you're interested in Accessibility, you'll find it thoroughly covered here.

This is one of those books that I use all the time. Because this is the first book I've given 5 stars, I'd better explain.

First, I like the way the book organized itself along the lines that the ActionScript editor or toolbox lists the different ActionScript terms. The parallel makes things easy to find. Second, I like the way the examples are used. For instance, the author explains the geometry behind the cosine of an angle explaining the Math.cos() method and then provides an example that draws a perfect circle. That's a lot better than I get in just about any other book. (Maybe that's more than some need, but I appreciated it.) Third, I like the level range. The beginning of the book is only 2 chapters, but it's a good 2 chapters that provide a quick explanation of ActionScript and scripting. However, further on in the book, it also covers more complex things like registerClass() with a detailed examples. The same is true for all of the new objects like LoadVars().

Finally, I have found myself using the last several chapters covering UI components. Before I got this book, I really didn't use UI Components very much, and now I use them constantly. In fact, those chapters (Pt IV, Chs 14-21)are what I find myself using the most. If this book had nothing but Part IV, the book would have been more than worth it to me.

I think the book is worth 6 stars -- 5 for the first 3 parts and an additional one for the last part covering UI Components.

After Flash 5 ActionScript, I didn't think that it would get much bigger. Flash MX ActionScript is huge, and this book makes it available. The author spends only the first two chapters with the basics of writing ActionScript in the context of Flash MX and makes a nice transition from Flash 5 to Flash MX.

Then, from Chapter 3 to the end of the book's 21 chapters, the author decided to follow the order of actions in the Actions toolbox in the Actions Panel. That makes it very easy to find stuff because it's organized along the same logical patterns as the toolbox. Even so I found myself going to both the detailed TOC and appendix to look up terms, and I never had problems finding what I needed.

Anyone can explain the easy stuff like the old gotoAndPlay() actions, and so I went to the new OOP materials and XML socket section. The OOP stuff was mixed with non-OOP throughout the book, and OOP-related methods like registerClass() were explained in detail and supported with a good example using something that made sense in the context of Flash MX. In fact, the whole book was filled with good examples. Some examples extended over several pages and others were little ones that gave you a quick insight. Sanders is an ace with examples. As for the XML socket material, not only did the explanation explain to me for the first time ever what the blazes a socket server was, it provided a URL where I could download a free socket server, which I did. Then I worked the example, and now I have my own mini-chat in XMLSocket. I'm happy.

The last several chapters were in-depth explanations of the different ActionScript terms used with the new UI Components. Each component got its own chapter, and I found it invaluable for designing with the components. It does not cover re-skinning, but I was able to get the look I wanted by changing every element in the components and I am a big user of UI components. (You can change all the little parts of components like highlight, higlight3D, face, darkshadow, etc. without re-skinning.)

There were a lot of little details I liked in the book. The examples were mixed, interesting, and clarifying. Undocumented terms, like onData with LoadVars(), were included, and I found what I needed. One suggestion for people getting this book: buy some of those little colored tab stickem things to bookmark all of the part of this book you'll need to reference again and again.

If you are a SharePoint administrator or are looking to deploy SharePoint, this book is for you. No one explains the intricaies of SharePoint Portal Server as clearly as Bill English does. The book is superb with both technical information and easy to follow examples which enable the reader to quickly exploit the benifits of SharePoint Portal Server.

Since starting my SPS project last year I have read both the Microsoft SPS Resource Kit cover to cover and SharePoint Portal Server: A Beginner's Guide. Okay books but they are more of an overall this is what you can do, not a "how to do it" manuals.

Last night I got my copy of The Administrator's guide to SPS 2001. This book rocks! If you are looking for the in depth detailed information that is going to make your SPS server run better. This is the book for you.

The information on indexes alone is worth the price to me.
