Title: Microsoft Windows 2000 MCSE Core Requirements Training Kit (With CD-ROM) Publisher: Microsoft Press Authors: Rating: 2/5  These MS books don't prepare you for tests well and they don't educate you about the products and technologies well. They *kinda* do both. If you want to learn about MS, buy their resource kits, which are excellent and inexpensive, and other references. If you want to pass the tests, go with some of those red cover books like exam cram.

Title: Network+ Study Guide, 4th Edition Publisher: Sybex Inc Authors: David Groth, Toby Skandier Rating: 5/5  Listen guys I studied this book alone and got a 886 out of 900. I wrote a few certification tests and never got 98% before. This is the book if you want to pass the test. Study the OSI layer and the protocols and you'll ace it like I did. This book covers all and more then you need for the test, take my word on it

Title: Developing Bioinformatics Computer Skills Publisher: O'Reilly Authors: Cynthia Gibas, Per Jambeck Rating: 5/5 I was a complete newcomer to the field of bioinformatics before I read this book, and now I can't get enough; it's written with a genuinely remarkable passion, clarity and grace. Like virtuoso musicians, Ms Gibas and Mr Jambeck hit all the right notes and really make this material sing. Talk about laying down the law on Perl scripts! This book revolutionized my approach to computational biology, and I'd highly recommend it for anyone with any level of interest or experience (novices and grizzled veterans alike) in this exciting scientific frontier.

Title: Advanced Perl Programming Publisher: O'Reilly Authors: Sriram Srinivasan Rating: 4/5  This ain't no Camel in terms of production quality (there are quite a few mistakes I could discern on a casual read), but it is good. Some of the material overlaps with the Camel book, particularly the first few chapters. The chapters dealing with complex data structures and references are well covered in the Camel and the repetition here is, for the most part, needless. Also some of the examples appear boring and contrived. Other than the first 6 chapters, I have read the code generation chapter. This is what has me all excited. I have written my own code generator but the elegance of this one is remarkable. In conclusion, after reading through more than a third of the book, I can say that while it is not the best Perl book in existence (that honor properly belongs to the Camel), this book is worth a place on the shelf of a serious Perl programmer.
