Hardware Books

The basic concept of ASDL broadband service to the home was developed many years ago. Then it took the telephone companies a very long time to learn enough about it to enable it to be brought to the home. Then in the last half dozen or so years it has become ubiquitous all around the country, and fiercely competitive.

Intially arguments were made that the home simply had no need for such fast communications. Today the same arguments are being made that the home has no need for gigabit level communications. What would you call it, 'Super Broadband?' But as before in countries around the world are pioneering Fiber To The Home (FTTH).

This book is a current up to the date review of FTTH, what has been done, what is being done, and where it is going. It is written by a series of experts from around the world who can relate what has been happening in their respective countries, companies, or organizations. These contributors include people from Korea, Japan and Sweden where pioneering work has already been done. It includes technology developers from Bell Labs, Morotola, British Telcom and more. This is the state of the art in FTTH.

A great book for anyone who likes tinkering with the insides of the macintosh & would like to build their own!

This is a great book for the absolute beginner to the world of music recording on a PC. The only prerequisite is a basic understanding of how to operate a computer. The style is clear and direct - and with an appreciated dose of humility and humour. The reader gains confidence in building/modifying a PC so that it can successfully satisfy the demands of music recording software. Then the reader is guided through the selection of the audio-specific hardware and software required. The recording, editing and mixing of a multitrack song are then very clearly and thoroughly taught. Finally, the reader is shown how to create their first CD and, if they wish, how to publish it to the internet in the form of mp3 files.

Criticism might be leveled at the author because he is using a particular combination of hardware and software throughout the text (Steingberg's Cubase SX, Tascam's US-428 and Edirol's PCR-50). In my view, however, this is a sensible approach because the beginner faces an overwhelming number of possible combinations of gear (many of which may not work together!). Afterall, the world of PC audio recording has two major obstacles: the software and the hardware. This book saves you much time by giving you a working hardware setup which allows you to move directly to mastering the software. By using a setup that is tried, tested and true, you get results quickly and painlessly. In this sense, the author is doing the reader a huge favour. Renting this gear from your local music store won't break the bank and will allow you to gain some well-guided experience. After a couple of months, you'll be ready to decide on what gear configurations you want to actually purchase and (perhaps more to the point) you will have gotten a complete overview of how things work. In fact, you may have recorded and produced your first CD!

Well written, up to date and sorely needed. Highly recommended.

This book talks about all of the different ways to get at the data on your AS/400. I got the the book, because at the time, I was trying to understand APPC with Client Access APIs. I ended writing my apps to use ODBC32.DLL and stored procedures because this book provided a great foundation. Mike Otey and the other contributors to this book know their stuff. Mike is Mr. ODBC in my book.

Unbeleivably ingenious. Frighteningly clever. Incredibly cheap and way past cool. That's how remarkable this book is. Rob Terrell is a total Mac guru that knows what he's talking about. And the disk's great, too. Rob, if you're listening, contact me!

I have passed CMTD test with score of 914 in just 25 mins ( out of 120 mins avialable ). Now how did i do that ? All you need is this book, I read this book, and it answered many questions on the exam.

Buy this book, guaranteed you'll pass with flying mark

Mail me for more info. Please rate my review as useful one

Got the mid-winter blues? Then envisage this - An open fire, A cup of hot chocolate, cats snoozing on the cushions, and a well-loved and dog-eared copy of "The CD-ROM Drive - A Brief System Description"

Let it snow!

The publication of this book was cancelled months ago. If you need to study for the A+ exam, buy Mark's other book, "Upgrading and Repairing PCs: A+ certification Study Guide."

Hai,
This is the best book for learning cics.
