Title: The CISSP Prep Guide: Mastering the CISSP and ISSEP Exams, Second Edition Publisher: Wiley Authors: Ronald L. Krutz, Russell Dean Vines Rating: 3/5  I Passed the CISSP exam using this book and Carl Endorf's CISSP Study Guide. If I can do it, anyone with a little experience (mine is in IPSec and firewalls) can pass the exam using these two books.

Title: Computer Networking : A Top-Down Approach Featuring the Internet (3rd Edition) Publisher: Addison Wesley Authors: James F. Kurose, Keith W. Ross Rating: 5/5  The authors made a really good job. The examples are very good and it is very easy to understand even the hard topics. They have an online version of the book... But when you buy the book you inmediatly have access to the online version. They have very good applets that help you understand some topics and they also have a discussion group where students post their questions and the authors answer themselves. It is a really good book. I really liked it all the way.

Title: Data Mining: Practical Machine Learning Tools and Techniques with Java Implementations Publisher: Morgan Kaufmann Authors: Ian H. Witten, Eibe Frank Rating: 1/5  This is the worst book I have ever ordered from Amazon. It seems to me that the author does not know much on the practide. The books have make some points in inserting buzz words occasionaly, but no more than that. The rest is just full of words that you have no clue why they make it meaninglessly lengthy -- just to make it long enough to be called a book?

Title: PostfixThe Definitive Guide Publisher: O'Reilly Authors: Kyle D. Dent Rating: 3/5 Postfix: The Definitive Guide by Kyle D. Dent would be much better titled as Postfix: Cliffnotes. It is written hastily and many sections are left incomplete. In many cases throughout the book I was left searching the web for answers to my questions on the web. The configuration file reference is nothing short of being deficient. I would estimate 50%-60% of the directives are left out completely, while existing directives contain less of a description than the comments in the configuration file. If this book was not under the veil of "The Definitive Guide" series I might have been happier. Definitive is defined as "serving to provide a final solution or to end a situation", which is nothing less than I have obtained in prior books I have read in this series. This book is well suited, and I recommend it, for the person who already has some Postfix or Sendmail experience. If you don't have this experience, plan to use this book as a complement to Google and the Postfix site.
