Title: Official Final Fantasy VII Strategy Guide Publisher: Bradygames Authors: David Cassady Rating: 5/5 This is maybe the best strategy guide i've seen in all videogames. It has every secret in the game, and it's very easy to use! I would reccomend this strategy over any other one on the market!

Title: C++ Pointers and Dynamic Memory Management Publisher: Wiley Authors: Michael C. Daconta Rating: 5/5 After reading the reviews, I purchased this book only to be severely disappointed. This book does a poor job explaining casting, pointer to pointers and scaling. The author included a lot of code in the text (and on disk), but very few comments within the code or text. In source 5.6, he has a 1 sentence explanations for 6 pages of code. I read the first 100 pages and that's all I can take. This book stinks!

Title: Understanding and Deploying LDAP Directory Services (2nd Edition) Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional Authors: Timothy A. Howes, Mark C. Smith, Gordon S. Good, Tim Howes Rating: 5/5 ...this should be the one! One of the best indepth discussions on the LDAP protocol and its uses I have read. This book is one of the few that I own on LDAP that has no dust on it, and the pages are fraying from beign thumbed so often... While there isn't as much programming info that I would want, it is understandable, as teh book is quite indepth, and a programmer should be able to build on the knowledge he or she will gain from reading it.

Title: Applied Cryptography: Protocols, Algorithms, and Source Code in C, Second Edition Publisher: Wiley Authors: Bruce Schneier Rating: 4/5 For a subject like this....one would expect a lot of mathematics involved but this is not the case..... First of all this requires min. knowledge of common algebra ( I believe this is good).... secondly it does not go into full detail. Well, the book covers all the cryptographic algos/ protocols possible......in that sense its good.........Secondly.....the language and the explanation is very easy to follow..... I gave this book 4 stars because I feel it does not cover the mathematical aspect of cryp. in right amount of depth and essence. Definately a must read....
