Customer Review: OK, I'm coming to rails late. I've played with Ruby on and off for about a year. I though it was a bit of a "kitchen sink" language until I got a good kick in the head by Neil Ford. So this week I picked up this book (version 2) and I started reading it. It is, as far as technical books go, a... more info
Customer Review: First and foremost, this book isn't a beginners guide to ruby, it doesn't hold your hand from "Hello, world", and it expects you to already know the basics of programming. Also, this book isn't a tutorial, it's a reference book first and foremost, and while it *does* guide you through some of ruby's... more info
Customer Review: This is a decent getting started book, but it doesn't give good coverage of things such as NUnit projects or using app.config files with NUnit. Unfortunately, this book isn't good as a stand-alone. I'll admit that it did help me get started, but it lacks so much that I can't give it more stars.... more info

Customer Review: Buyer beware. This book does not reflect the many changes to JUnit implemented in version 4. I found it to be a very good book when it came out four years ago however.
Customer Review: This is good for someone starting at zero as it will help move you to the next stage and provides good introductory data in a single location. But I would not recommend this book for non-beginners, nothing new for you in this book.
Customer Review: Dark Horse follows up the excellent "Frost Giant's Daughter" with another outstanding adaptation of a Robert Howard Original. Kurt Busiek takes a minor Conan story and builds another epic around it.
Although many fans consider Bowl to be a little slow and one of Howard's lesser works, Busiek... more info
Customer Review: This volume collects issues #120-140 of Marvel Comics' monthly Avengers series and the quarterly Giant Size Avengers #1-4. It also includes Captain Marvel #33 (which follows #125) and Fantastic Four #150 (that fits between #127 and #128). The original comic books were all originally published... more info
Customer Review: I really cannot add much to what other reviewers have already said. This book is, simply put, excellent. It covers prototype and scriptaculous libraries very thoroughly by illustrating various features with relevant examples. Server-side technologies used in some examples use either Java or PHP.
