Title: Leading Geeks: How to Manage and Lead the People Who Deliver Technology Publisher: Jossey-Bass Authors: Paul Glen, David H. Maister, Warren G. Bennis Rating: 1/5  I looked through this book and decided not to read it in depth. Who would like this book?Someone who...1.Likes using the label GEEKS to refer to anyone whose primary task is working with computers. In some work places such a label could be considered harassment since it is denigrating.2.Likes classifying people using stereotypes. Are people still individuals? Not according to this book.3.Likes reading a book where there is no theoretical justification given to the content (through references and citations), AND there are no concrete examples given for most of the content. What is the basis for these words of wisdom?4.Feels that those who work with computers need to be managed any differently than anyone else. The author does advocate his version of modern management methods many of which are well documented elsewhere. Shouldn't one also use these with other employees?5.Feels that those who work with computers MUST be different from everyone else. The author outlines how these individuals must be selected for employment - to match his stereotype.6.Feels that computer workers should be kept insulated and isolated, particularly from customers. This is contrary to some other authors - e.g., Iain Aitken in "Value Driven IT Management." Some computer workers may want be isolated, but should they?

Title: Oracle PL/SQL 101 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Osborne Media Authors: Christopher Allen Rating: 5/5 Coming from a non-technical background, I have often been intimidated and frustrated at the book choices available to "newbies" to this field. But out of the myriad of books I've tried, this by far the most well-written and straightforward I've encountered. Technical acuman and communication skills do not often go hand in hand, but Christopher Allen appears to have mastered both.
