Databases Books

I am a B.Communications University student currently working on my dissertation. I am using quantitative techniques and am new to the subject. After reading a few books regarding statistics, a friend of mine recommended this book and I just want to say that it really helped me in times when I felt there was no way out with these complicated statistics. The reasons why I truly love this book is because every detail, that some people take for granted, is explained in clear simple English. This book is very user-friendly and therefore encouraging in times of despair ( which is usual when stuck in front of a computer programe for hours). This book explains everything very well and simply and therefore helps beginners and people who are not familar with this kind of program.

This should be required reading for anyone who designs interfaces. If users are having a hard time using your software then you need this book. Great conversational style with well thought out content and screen shots. I wish I had this book earlier in my career.

A perfect guide for SAS reporting. This book contains a huge collection of tips, techniques,and examples which are very useful in learning SAS Enterprise Guide. Provides good examples on how reporting can be made simple and easy with the point and click interface avaiable in the SAS EG product instead of writing complex SAS code.

Dr McCue's book shows how math can be applied in the public sector today to solve problems impacting all of us - namely finding the "bad guy". The author shows how patterns in data hold the key to intelligence - just as Tom Davenport does when he talks about analytics in the business world. Competing on Analytics: The New Science of Winning.

Data mining Data Mining Techniques: For Marketing, Sales, and Customer Relationship Managementis a popular practice in the marketing field and this new book shows how data mining software is being applied in the public sector as well. With data all around us - it is essential that we begin to apply techniques and implement softwareData Mining Using SAS Enterprise Miner: A Case Study Approach that can help us make sense out of the growing amounts of information.Information Revolution : Using the Information Evolution Model to Grow Your Business

I highly recommend this book to readers in the analytical field as well as to those in the police and law enforcement practice.

If you want or need to quick learn SAS Enterprise miner, this is very good opportunity to do that. At first, you get basic info about included functions and after that you go through good described case studies.

Exactly what was described. A brand new textbook. I ordered it on Tuesday night and the book came by Saturday. Extremely fast delivery.

This is a must have book that a Data Modeler will want to keep for a long time.
It discusses every aspect of the Data Modeling discipline.

Does not matter what DBMS you use the information in this book is priceless.

The book provides a variety of predicate calculus models for describing, measuring and managing information quality. Material is an excellent balance between theory and practice, with case studies from a variety of projects and institutions.

This book is about mining data streams (or data stream mining). Its title is not very accurate but if you see its TOC you will easily understand.
It covers the main areas of data stream mining and is accurate and informative.
Recommended if you are interested in data streams or data stream mining or mining data streams.

PS. There are some small typos at the first 30 pages of the book.

6 stars if possible. A top of the line book on Data Structures.

Practical and well explained (very thorough) with excellent examples this book sits at my desk for a refresher on Algorithm Analysis (Big O-h Notation) and a exhaustive set of practical samples of code using Java Generics and the new Collections using Generics.

If I had to buy one Data Strutures and Algorithms book (regardless of language - C++ or Java) then this book would be it. By the way, from the same authors, there is a C++ version of this book, but the type font of the book for the Java version is much bigger and easier on the eyes.

Your frustrating end to finding a post Java 1.5 Data Structures Book which shows you how how to develop the data structures raw using your own classes in addition to how it compares to the Collections in java.util are really good.

Points to remember regarding this book when seeking to compare against other books of this same subject are:

No obtuse mathematical formulas to tangle with in this book, since this book is very practical and results oriented. A non-professional programmer can make whole use of this book and come away with a suitcase full of development skills and practical concepts of Data Structures. No tedious mathematics and formulas to deal with here. Simply easy to read, digest, and apply.

Source code is provided (in its completeness) from the authors website.

My recommedation is to know Ant and/or Maven to easily compile the source code under a structured build directory setup.
