Applications Books

This book includes a great amount of detail for designers. Covers winding, materials, magnetics, thermal considerations, etc. Has plenty of equations that are required for design. Both authors are well known and fellows of the IEEE.

The book lacks details of motor construction, which I have not found anywhere yet. Also wish it came with a software tutorial or something. But the best book on motors I have found yet, and I've looked (and bought) a number of them.

I have read and thoroughly enjoyed this book. It helped us a lot in designing our smoovy micro motors. Technically first class and well written, recommended to anybody who needs a good understanding of motor design issues.

This is an excellent book on steel design. It covers both theory and practice in detail. I wish either the 2nd edition or an updated edition would be available.

I found this text to be very useful to me and prefer it among other steel texts. Concentration on bridges makes this book even more valuable. The text in, many sections, deals with some more advanced theories about steel which you may not find in many texts.

For me it was like the story of Goldie Locks. In college we read the GoF patterns book which was overly detailed and engaged the reader about as much as a phone book. Later on I read the head-first design patterns book which is just long and unnecessarily repetitive fluff. I finally found this book and it was "just right". Thank goodness we have an author that realizes that not all computer science books need to be as big as phone books to get the point across. This book is about the size of a novel. Every pattern is explained straight and to the point. There are code examples for each one of the patterns within the book and on his website. Every pattern has its corresponding UML diagram. Also, most importantly he emphasizes WHY every pattern is needed, complete with problem/solution example scenerios. The examples he has are in C# but he also mentions how to do things in Java in the book. Overall, this is the best keep secret in design pattern books. I highly recommend it.

I'm gonna let my fellow C# programmers on a little secret. This book is one of the best Design Patterns books out there. So why I am the first one to rate this book? I have no idea.

Another gem that is fairly unknown is:
"Data Structures and Algorithms Using C#" by Michael McMillan. Though with generics, the book is a little outdated, but still very good.

I recommend this book for any classroom. Web, hybrid, or traditional can all benfit from this approach.

Anyone thinking of starting an online course or already maintaining one will find this book quite useful. The background information provided for the teacher is complete and detailed. The activities recommended are quality assignments. I will be sure to use this book often as a supplement to my online curriculum! Found lots of insightful reviews before purchasing here on the publisher's site .......

I need a book that help me to learn quikly y easy how to use the wizatrons of Clarion 5.0 or More.

If is Posible, If you have an spanish book from this type is better for me

It's amazing how the concepts of Clarion never change. The fundamentals presented in this book are still highly useful in developing Clarion apps today (2005). Keep it within your arm's reach and it will pay off.

"One of our primary goals in writing that book was to give developers the skills they needed to solve their own programming problems. We tried to build, in the reader's mind, a mental model of how Clarion programming works. We wanted to create a road map through the maze of Clarion programming options.", David Harms one of the authors of this book.


This is the book to have if you are looking to learn how Clarion works. If you try to learn Clarion 6 using the current user's guides, you will get frustrated. Why? Because the current documentation for Clarion assumes you have been programming in Clarion since they invented it. This book will help you with that.

After you learn the essentials in this book, I'd recommend to subscribe to ClarionMag and read the newsgroups.

Hope That Helps(HTH)!

Every thing was done professionally, I am complete satisfied with the service I recieved.

This book was written as a college-level text. It also targets IT professionals who need to quickly understand the differences between e-commerce applications and traditional information systems as a secondary audience.

As a college-level text this book is one of the few that will prepare students for the real world. The scope of topics, level of detail, and carefully chosen case studies are impressive because they capture the key knowledge areas and issues that working professionals deal with.

As a refresher for working professionals who need to understand the big picture and intermediate details associated with e-commerce applications this book's wide coverage of topics makes it ideal. While students will need to work through the entire book, an IT professional can choose the topic areas selectively. For example, the chapter on E-commerce applications that covers supply chain management, e-tialing and auction sites will have more appeal to a working professional, while the chapters on programming will probably capture a student's interest.

Additional features that will be of interest to each audience include:

- Students and Instructors: (1) CD ROM that comes with the book contains exercises, source code, and additional study material, (2) a companion web site that provides 296 PowerPoint slides that augment the course, and (3) links to over 750 web sites that reinforce the lessons.

- Working professionals: the CD ROM that comes with the book contains the full text of the book, which will allow searching for any topic or keyword. This is an excellent research resource, that is all the more valuable since the book is up-to-date and covers current technologies (Java, relational databases, XML, etc.), as well as important business issues.

This book is absolutely amazing. Before I read it, I hadn't a clue about what so-called "XIE" was or what you could do with it. Now, after reading this masterpiece of a work, I still don't know much about it, but I'm developing my very own imaging applications and making a lot of money -- in little time! Thanks Syd Logan!

This book is Fantastic with a capital F! Before I picked up this book, I had no idea what this so-called "XIE" was or what it could do. Now, having read this book, I'm considered the local X(ie)Pert (get it?), the imaging applications that I'm developing are bringing in tons of cash - in little time! Thanks Syd Logan!

I'm an absolute beginner into Symbian OS programming and I find this book very perfect in order to let you start writing applications for Symbian Devices (there are many examples that make concepts intelligible).
It explains how Symbian OS architecture works and give many tips you can found only by search on newsgroups.

If you are a proficient C++ programmer, this book is perfect for you as a introduction to writing C++ on Symbian OS. It describes how Symbian OS works and show what differences exist between normal C++ and the one used while writing applications for Symbian OS.

However this is a mostly OS and C++ book. So it won't teach you how you can do specific things except the information it gives about socket usage to communicate via TCP/IP & GUI Design & Programming. It will teach you the OS and language specification so you'll understand when you see a code excerpt somewhere. Later you can read additional books or SDK documentation to learn about special classes os provides to do specific things. Also it point out the differences between different platforms (S60, S80, UIQ) where applicable by giving individual explanations & examples for each platform.

I strongly recommend reading this book before trying to write anything for Symbian OS. It'll help you greatly in the beginning.

Messina is a well-known name to vegetarians through her cookbooks, and to the science of nutrition through her scholarly articles. This book, though erudite and intended for dietitians, is valuable to everyone interested in vegetarian nutrition. I would recommend it to physicians, owners of diet salons, nurses, as well as every vegan who wants to understand the value of full nutrition. Great job!

Very thorough guide. Need to have a good grasp of nutrition concepts before tempting to read. Very helpful with up to date information any dietitian can appreciate.

Accounts some of the game theoretic problems encountered by Isaacs during his work at the RAND Corporation. A must read for scholars interested in game theory. Has a lot of interesting cases of military and non-military applications.

This is the original book on differential games. It is as relevant today as when it was written nearly 40 years ago. The book introduces all the main concepts and equations in differential games. This is achieved without recourse to heavy theorems or proofs. A central feature is the use of many and varied examples of differential games; the homoicidal chauffeur, wars of attrition, pursuit with a rocket, etc. These bring the whole field alive with potential. Another element is the use of geometry and pictures to describe game evolution. This book is a must for anyone interested in modern autonomous systems.
