Computer Science Books

As a graduate student going through the book by myself I found the content really useful as well as very understandable. I would highly recommend this book to anyone wishing to learn more about the basic as well as the more complex principles of semiconductor devices.

This book is excelent. Every concept is clearly explained, pictures support every argument (I want to enphasise this: amazing). I have read many books about semiconductors, and again this ones clarified just everything...The understanding that you get about Semiconductors through this book is just amazing. Very helpful for beginers and even better when you need to review some concepts that were poorly explained or badly learned in the past.

Just excelent

I have been using this book for my Electric Devices course. It is a really, really good book. I would very much recommend it to any professors to use it as their textbook for their class. It explains concepts very clearly, and easy to understand.

A+ to the author!

Its good. Once you get over his British writing style, its a good read. I'm only 1/2 way through, but I have found it very accessible so far. Not only does he talk about the UML diagraming, he talks about the Unified Process (in like 250 pages! - now thats a refreshing break). The book delivers what it promises. Its not a reference guide, but it is definitly *teaching* me some practical stuff.

This is a rare find. It is a useful combination of many related software engineering topics, with enough O-O history to provide some perspective, and enough detail on the Unified Process & the Unified Modeling Language to provide both an understanding and a practical series of steps for project success.

If your department tries to balance doing things right with doing things quickly, if you're wondering why the UML has become the de facto notation, if you're using Java and want your group to do more object-oriented approaches, if you're thinking you'd like to use Java, or you'd like to use the UML for your design notations, if you've heard object-oriented engineering can provide some benefit.. then you'll probably find this book to move to the top of your 'must read and must share' list.

If you're moving your architecture towards distributed objects and Enterprise JavaBeans, there's some useful advice on designing Java-specific objects.

It is clearly written and easy to follow, and can be read chapter by chapter or as a reference text. I would have only one suggestion for the author. He briefly mentions the similarity between O-O and the Spiral Model or the UP and the Spiral Model. Mr. Hunt would have done well to include an overview of the Spiral Model in his work. [Search the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon for more info. Our design team considers the Spiral Model an important and practical and even useful approach to software engineering projects. Combine the Spiral Model methodology for projects, the Unified Process approach to designs, and the Unified Modeling Language for design notations, and you've got what we consider to be a winning approach to object-oriented software development.

Mr. Hunt provides a valuable book on the UP and the UML with a real world perspective. We're going to buy copies of his book for our entire team.

Easily approachable and good. The book talks not just about RUP, but also about its roots (OMT, Fusion, objectory etc), and about UML. It also guides the reader through the maze of workflows in the RUP and gives advice on how to configure RUP as a lightweight process for web development. This book is a great contrast to all the other RUP books that are too theoretical to be of any use except for those who already are using RUP.

This book is *not* unavailable -- it was published in a new edition. ISBN 1-59092-012-X, "Pokemon! The Best Websites." This is a great book because the number of quality of Pokemon sites are few and the guide gives you the best of them. Also, there's a built in deal where if a site is down you can contact the publisher and they'll fix the issue. (I should know -- I *am* the publisher!) :)

you are in the pokemon movers truck come out ,your mum will tell you to set your clock.
go to your nabours house go up stairs touch the pokeball, then your rival will come.
Go outside head north,prof.Birch ask's you to help save him.
Get his bag choose Mudkip then you will battle zigzagoon.
After the prof willtake you to his lab.
He will give you mudkip.
THEN YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN.

A more appropriate name for the book would be "Analyzing and Understanding Data Using SPSS for Windows and Macintosh" to underscore the book's usefulness when one is analyzing data and wants explanations of the statistical procedures. This book is not only helpful to those who conduct quantitative research, but also helpful to students enrolled in applied statistics courses, in general research methods, and any course that involve the analysis of quantitative data. The book is very useful because the authors provide many chapters (i.e., lessons) with research examples of applicability, brief explanations of statistical procedures, discussions of underlying assumptions, step-by-step instructions using research examples (with data), descriptions of interpreting the illustrated SPSS output, and reporting the written or table results in APA style.

I first used this book in grad school where I actually took a class from Sam Green. I have been keeping it handy ever since. Every chapter explains the statistical test (purpose, background), gives a couple of applied examples, then takes you through SPSS step by step (what options to click on, etc.), shows you the results and how to interpret each based on the example given at the beginning, and then shows you how to write it all up in APA style (what to italicize, where to put spaces, etc., plus how to express it in words). It is the most useful and practical and easy to understand stats book (or stats teacher) I ever encountered. I highly recommend it to everyone, grad students, researchers, academics.

I am currently a Ph.D. student and have had a number of upper-level stat courses. I first received this book toward the end of the required stat courses (Multivariate Methods)...boy, do I wish I had it sooner. Everything is laid out in concise format, it is easy to read, and the material is relevant. Plus, there are also sample APA results sections in each portion. It is a great resource that any grad student should purchase! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Very good coverage of a difficult topic. Well written and easy to understand. A must if you are doing PLI work!

This book is a must have, if you are writing PLI applications for any Verilog simulator. If you don't need to do that, then, well the book isn't for you. If you do, the price is very cheap, considering the time savings you will realize.

This book brings clarity to the Verilog Programming Language Interface. The descriptions and examples shed new light on aspects of the PLI that had previously been murky. Stuart Sutherland has produced the definitive guide to all versions of the PLI. I highly recommend this book to all Verilog users who want to learn the PLI. The first time you use an example from the book, you will save hours compared to flipping through the IEEE manual.

Awesome plot and I have never read anything like i; well, except of course, the Harry Potter Series which is 1000 times better than this but that's besides the point. However, overall it is a good read.

This Book was exactly like the tv show! When ever i can't see the eposode,(they cancled the show)i just read the book. They still show some eposode's but they still show some but not this one.

This is the best book in the wold and there is nothing to describe it. So, go and buy it and you will be amased

Good and an excellent book for understanding CDMA and TDMA. Good comparison and you must own this book One good source of PSP and UMTS.

Very up to date, precise and a lot of information about third generation communications technology. One book for almost everything for communication engimering

This is and excellent book. I was looking for a good book of workflows to use in my work and class like university professor. Out there there are many "empty" books. This one is rare one excellent book deep and simple and the same time. I strongly recommend it.

This is an excellent book containing principals, patterns and practices of workflow systems. The theory of workflow is covered with terms of Petri nets, the relevant concepts are clearly explained, and a lot of practical examples with thought provoking questions are included. I enjoyed reading/studying it. Workflow practitioners will find this book very useful both for practical and theoretical aspects. Finally a book that connects the practice of workflow with simple but complete theory!

This book has significantly changed my thinking about and approach to workflow management. Prior to reading it I based workflow systems on process chains based on frameworks such as entry-task-validation-exit (ETVX) or plan-do-check-act (PDCA). While process chains are a valid approach, the only level of formality I imposed was cost and value analysis, which I realized after reading this book was not the entire picture of a workflow.

What I learned is how to view workflow as a logical network using Perti Nets, which are both graphical and based on a formal language using Boolean logic (AND and OR joins and splits), programmatic views (iteration) and analytical logic (causality). More importantly, this approach has resolved a misalignment between the design of workflow systems with which I previously used procedures and events and the development approach used by my company's software engineers who were using object-oriented methods. Petri Nets are based on states instead of events, which more naturally aligns object-oriented development of workflow systems to the underlying design. Discovering this is what so significantly changed my thinking and approach to workflow.

Although this book is heavily slanted towards Perti Nets, it also contains a wealth of material about workflow from business process and operations perspectives, and does not obviate process chain approaches. Instead, it provides you with a good grounding in the basics of workflow in general, and provides you with tools, techniques and an approach to developing workflows in a formal manner. If you are involved in process design, workflow development or business process engineering/reengineering this book is an invaluable, thought-provoking resource.

I am a student, going into second grade, at Dadeville Elem. School. I really enjoyed reading this book because I love the computer. I want to learn as much as I can about it.I am also a proud owner of a autographed copy of the book! Thanks to Mrs. Yarbough and Mrs. Ragsdale for the wonderful book.

A must have for every classroom and media center! A resource that can be used as a unique and creative way to introduce children and new computer users to its function and language. An excellent resource for teaching numerous skills such as POINT OF VIEW, MULTIPLE MEANINGS, MAIN IDEA, VOCABULARY DEVELOPMENT, and many, many more. Children and adults will be delighted by J.J. and his adventureous look into the world of technology. Finally, a book to assist teachers in creating tech-savy students.

This book is great for children who are just learning about the computer. It takes computer vocabulary words and describes them in a lay-persons language. My children enjoyed it completely and after reading the book we had to get on the computer to apply what they had learned! A must for all computer newcomers!!

I have Computers for Dummies, a same one with 9 books in it, a Visual learning Book, none of which helped me at all!!!! 1001 Hints & Tips is great!!!!!!!
Why doesn't someone come out with a dictionary of computer language, so that this 82 yr. brain can understand the word you need to look up stuff??
Thanks, Peg Madill

This is a great book. I started browsing through it, thinking it was some "computer for dummies" type book that would be too "simple" for me, a computer professional. Well, I had to start over at page one because I discovered lots of "stuff" I was NOT aware of. Incredible amounts of diagrams, pictures,and examples, it shows the many ways of using all the major programs available today. Not just microsoft or PC software, but all brands, for Mac and PC. Very well written for the neophyte and for professionals alike. I'd sell my book but it's too good of a reference to sell.
