I have already bought and read Palm Programming for the Absolute Beginner. I learned a lot with that book and it was extremely helpful. The author presented the language in a basic but informative way. At that time, I was an absolute beginner to computer programming. Now, I just bought Java Programming for the absolute beginner and was very disappointed. Not only does the author make no sense in explaining the language, but he also digresses to other topics that are just pointless. I don't recommend this book at all. If you have a problem with something, this book is not helpful. Hope this was helpful...

I want to learn java,So I nedd Your help.I am so poor,I have no
ability to bye this book,but I am so interested of this subject.

This was probably one of the best programming books i've ever read. It is interesting all the way through but at the same time it teaches important programming concepts. It has many examples that you won't be bored with. This book demonstrates good writing skills and a great way to teach someone to program through the use of game programming.

Accessible and highly useful, the format of "Cecil Essentials of Medicine" is unique. This is one of the few broad-scope medical texts, which used simple language to present advanced information. The book is dynamic; and very easy to understand. Its strengths lie in the methodological manner with which it tackled clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and therapeutics. It gives detailed information in each case, without dabbling into anything that is unnecessary.
Anybody who reads this book will appreciate the depth of its coverage. It is a quality designed: a valuable compilation with both doctors and students in mind.

I am a 4th year medical student and have referred to this book contantly on my rotations. i find that the chapters were lucid and covered just the right amount of depth for each topic. Best of all, the authors focused on all the clinically relevant points of each disease which is a must for the busy clinician. Get it now!

This book is laden with stuff useful for anyone dealing with networks on a support level. However using this book as a primary source is a bad bad idea. The spelling, grammar, and factual errors left me with a "duh" a few times. The chapters are out of sequence as far as any type of learning curve (more often than not other chapters are referenced to explain something that's being explained in the beginning chapters). It's very long winded too. I doubt anyone who has read this from cover to cover once can remember nitty gritty details when they hit the last page. The software test really bites too. The questions are WAY easier than what the real test covers. I'm sorry to say this book is out of the return policy timeframe for me. Get the ExamCram book instead.

I read this book, I took the practice exams cd that was included with the book. AND IT WAS TERRIBLE!!! The basic stuff was barely on the NETWORK+ exam. I think that Mike Meyer's Passport was even better than this bible book. I do not recommend this book at all. It just goes through some of the stuff but it is very redundant. I failed the first time I took the NETWORK+ because I changed a couple of answers at the end but then the next day I took it again, I passed with flying colors. I would recommend getting definitely the mike meyer's passport to network+ and another book besides this one as the main source.

Though I have found much useful info in this book, and like the practice exams and additional tools on the CD, the many typos and errors (including incomplete sentences) make it difficult to read. I think whoever did the proofreading (if anyone?) must've been asleep.

I was familiar with many of the elements and concepts beforehand, but I've had a hard time grasping newer or unfamiliar subjects due to the many mistakes.

I will definitely be using other materials to study with.

After reading Mr. Joseph Estes's book, "The Estes Formula for Breeding Stakes Winners", I was very disappointed with its content and would not recommend it for the established Thoroughbred or Standbred breeder looking to improve their chances of producing a stakes winner with existing breeding stock.

The focus of the author is purchasing broodmare prospects that are the cream of the racing crop that are often overpriced and out of reach for the average breeder. It is unfortunate that the information provided within this book has been known for decades, "Breed the Best Mares to the Best Stallions and hope for the Best." Mr. Estes attempted to support this statement using the Average Earnings Index (AEI) and page upon page of statistics. A major drawback with the book is the author uses a very small percentage of the overall horse population in his examples. It was also disappointing that the author used only the best race mares and offspring from the 1930's and 40's to prove his point.

In summary, the book relatively easy to read and may be helpful for the first time owner looking to start a breeding operation but lacks information for improveing your chances of producing a stakes winner from existing breeding stock. The breeding of racehorses is still a gamble where Mother Nature is the only one who can predict the outcome. Don't be decieved by the book's title, this book provides nothing new and only attempts to support the statement, "Breed the Best Mare to the Best Stallion and hope for the Best".
