Tools Books

When I started to work for The Alta Group I needed to get more knowledge about leasing in Latin America, so I tried via google and others to compile as much as possible, but there was not so much on the internet as expected. Therefore I asked my boss for what would make a good source, and he recommended this book. Due the price, I decided to give it more time to my investigations. However after a couple of weeks I decided to buy it. This was the BEST investment I have done! Not only I could learn a lot from this book, but I also have use it already 3 times since then for work for our clients. I really recommend it, it was my one stop all in one information!

This book provides the best information ever gathered to facilitate equipment sales financing to Latin America.

This book is extremely useful in gaining a comprehensive understanding of the material from the text book. I consider it indispensable.

I've read almost all macro textbooks since my undergraduate and postgraduate studies some ten years ago. Farmer's is the BEST in my view. The most important achievement of this book is that it bridges the gap between the static macroeconomics taught at the undergraduate level and the dynamic macroeconomics taught at the postgraduate level. I myself found it rather difficult to jump from one level to the next when I first began my postgraduate study. If I had the opportunity to learn from Farmer's, I would have found it much easier to pick up advanced macro. There are many other nice features in this book as well. I like the introductory chapters on the use and interpretation of macro data. As a practicing researcher now, I find them extremely helpful. As I read through this book, I don't have the usual feeling that the subject matters are far away from the real world. The flow of topics is also pedagogically sound, starting from classical theories, then to "modern" theories, and finally ending at dynamic macro. The exposition is clear, and the whole text is extremely well-written and highly readable. Farmer has the ability to keep the readers' attention, and stay focus on the important ideas. This is a terrific piece! Highly recommended.

Jeff has plenty of jigs up to satisfy a shaker craftsman. His photos sure beat illustations. I loved the wooden vice and shaker bench plans. Plenty of other unique jigs.

Finally, a handbook that offers sage advice and realistic strategies
for overcoming some of the common client/server glitches that crop
up during application development.

It is not the normal overloaded, technical tome, that you later call a 'reference'
as it collects dust on the shelf. This is the 'guide' you should use to
increase your OPO skills, and assist fellow developers.

This book is one the best technical book I have ever read, Oracle or not.

Coming from a Oracle DBA background, I really appreciate the effort the authors had put into in maintaining data integrity,etc.

Unlike other database front-end tool books, this book really takes pain to remind readers that the front-end does nothing without a sound usage of the underlying data.

The examples in the book are excellent. They are all easy to follow and have advanced usage of OPO techniques, especially the object-oriented programming part.

As the book title implies, this is the book to get if you wanna be a OPO master

What a wonderful and charming book to read. Pepper Cory writes in a easy going manner that makes a person feel like she is right in the room with you. Great ideas on making templates and marking a quilt. I love how she discusses methods of the past as well as the future. It is also fun to look at the older quilts and see the methods as well as read about them. She shows patterns and methods from all over the world, and takes the mystery out of marking a quilt. She encourages a quilter to be creative and take chances, and I plan on taking her up on it. This book is a definite must have for any quilters' library.

This book was wonderful for teaching me how to better mark my quilts. I'm always nervous whenever I mark a quilt, but this book helped me know what markers to use in which situations. I also loved the new quilting designs in the book. Highly recommnded!

If you are in a situation like me, then this might be the best book. I read some introductory long ago at university. A few years from now I needed to refresh on the subject and get a little deeper. I have browsed or read some other books, but this is now my number one choice for reference. It starts very gently with e.g. spelled out examples on matrix addition. It ends with (by my standards) advanced topics like eigenstructures, quadratic forms, generalized inverses etc. I admire the writing style which is compact, precise and at the same time a little relaxed.

There are a lot of people out there who do statistical analysis but who do not possess the mathematical knowledge underpinning a lot of what they are doing (i.e., linear algebra and some calculus). Most of the time people can get away with using stastical software as a sort of 'black box' and not worry about the math. But there are situations when having the background knowledge is crucial.

This book does an excellent job of facilitating self-study of the math underpinning multivariate statistical analysis ... namely, linear (matrix) algebra and some calculus. Each chapter has a set of questions and ALL of the answers are provided in the book (handy for self-study). The one slight critique of this book I can give is that I wish the book did more on the calculus aspects. However, that is a minor comment and the knowledge that this book imparts of linear algebra to self-learners is extremely valuable.

-Provides great tools and points on how to evaluate and manage quality within any organization.

-Fits in your pocket (Yes. It REALLY does!)

Definitely worth the money!

The Memory Jogger is the ideal handbook for improving job-related procedures, systems, quality, and costs on a daily basis. It conveniently presents the tools in two categories: problem identification tools, and problem analysis tools. It also offers a technnique selection guide according to task. Each tools is presented along with three examples: manufacturing, service/administration, and daily-life situations. It is a very, very useful quick reference guide.

However, the upgraded version, "The Memory Jogger II", has been available for quite some time now, and would be a wiser choice.

This book is very good for the beginner or experienced embroider. I found it enjoyable not only to look at, read but very imformative on the style of stitch and how to perform that stitch. A must for any serious embroider's library.

I have only looked through the book but it has just what I was looking for and I know I will not be disappointed when I use metal thread embroidery. I can hardly wait to try it.

I have a number of programmers reference manuals and this one is used the most when working with Access. It is NOT for beginners. It is for the seasoned Access programmer or Visual Basic programmer. Many of the examples and tips could be used in either environment. The examples and samples are simple and straight forward, Michael Groh does not have anything to prove, he is a seasoned professional and his teaching style will have you feeling that you 'already knew that.'

I have quite a few books of this kind, some I have attempted to read, others which I have only been brave enough to flick through. A colleague lent me his copy of power toolkit and I must admit, I am hooked. With few exceptions, it is written in very plain english (as opposed to techie speak) with clear examples. I came to this site as I want my own copy!

Until you work with this Tables course and quick reference cards, you probably won't realize the hidden power in using Word tables. This course shows you how in an easy way. I'm a Technical Documentation Specialist who has had to design Sarbanes-Oxley process documents in an IT environment. Understanding how to control content within a table is invaluable. You can create side head labels in margins (like FrameMaker does) that are really just table cells without borders. Do you understand the difference between borders and gridlines? Get this package. It is awesome. It includes a great blurb on Styles, yes styles! Do you want to place graphics so they don't float? Put 'em in a table cell. Design-Write has designed the most comprehensive QRCs and tables course I've ever seen.

I think that I am becoming hooked on these Quick Reference Cards. I bought two other sets earlier and loved them so much that I decided to see what other Cards Design-Write Solutions has put out. I found this "Insert and Work with Tables in Microsoft Office Word 2003" package and was as delighted with the quality of information found there. I use Word 2007 at work and Word 2003 at home for my home based business. I thought of myself as an advanced user of Word 2003. I have used it regularly to create grant proposals, set up budget structures and etc. which usually includes lots of charts, pictures and etc. I didn't use tables much because they always seemed so cumbersome to set up. Through the simple-to-use course, short cut key card and the Quick Reference Card, I was able to learn some new tricks, to use tables to really sharpen and clean up the documents that I make, that have lots of information that needs to be categorized. The use of the tables function in Word has really helped me to give my proposals a clean and organized look that helps them to really stand out.
