Title: HTML Pocket Reference (2nd Edition) Publisher: O'Reilly Authors: Jennifer Niederst Rating: 5/5  Thats exactely what I have done, I have bought two of these. One for work and one for home. This is a must have for any web developer. Unless your one of those people that can memorize every single HTML tag and all of its attributes I strongly suggest you purchase this book. Every HTML tag is listen in alphabetical order and every attribute listed following it. The only thing I could have asked for more would be a small example below the tags themselves. I have been writing HTML, ASP, JavaScript, and more for over 3 years now and I use this book almost every day. I refrence it to make sure all my attributes are cross browser compatible and that I have labeled them all correct. This is definately a must have and make sure to keep it close.

Title: Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference (2nd Edition) Publisher: O'Reilly Authors: Danny Goodman Rating: 1/5  The reason this book ranks so high is that it's a thick, expensive, convoluted cookbook of singular examples without any real coverage of the subject matter. In other words, its a marketing dept's dream! This book hasn't been updated since 1998, and hasn't kept pace with technology. ..., the last chapter on DHTML is entitled "Looking Ahead to HTML 4.0" We're beyond HTML 4.0 and on to XHTML, XML, etc.! The fact that this chapter ends on page 163 should tell you something. The Book is 1073 page long! The remaining 910 are poor references for HTML 3.2, Javascript 1, and CSS 1. All of which are out of date. And where is the analysis of the Document Object Model? Oh, I forgot, it gets 2 pages! The DOM IS WHAT MAKES DHTML POSSIBLE...

Title: Advanced .NET Remoting (C# Edition) Publisher: Apress Authors: Ingo Rammer Rating: 5/5 This has to be one of the best .NET books I have read. It goes way beyond the documentation and explains Remoting in a very clear and concise manner. Ingo Rammer points out pros/cons of the various remoting techniques and offers solutions/suggestions to common problems. He also explains the advanced details in a way that even I could understand ;-). I would recommend this book to anyone who plans on building applications with .NET.

Title: Adobe InDesign cs Bible Publisher: John Wiley & Sons Authors: Galen Gruman, Galen Gruman Rating: 1/5 I knew this book had serious problems when, as early as page 7, the author stated "Select the Content tool (the hand), then click in the new frame to hold the story's headline. Type the words..." In the Tool Window, there are two hand-icons. The first one, an icon with a hand over it, reads "button tool." One cannot click on the button tool, click on a frame, and type text. The second icon resembling a hand is not called the content tool, but the "Hand Tool." Even so, clicking on the hand tool, and immediately clicking on a frame, does not allow one to type text. What "hand" is the author talking about? I did a search on the InDesign Help website for "content tool" and there were *zero* finds. Even in the index of this 900 page book there was no reference to Content tool (under content *or* tool, the two most logical places to look) But yet, there on page 7, the author clearly states "select the Content tool." Another error on pages 5-7. The authors' X and Y coordinates do not match up with the figures in the book. If you open InDesign and type 4p6 for X and Y, the frame is no where near where it appears in the book's figures. One major error and one major omission -- all by page 7. I recommend printing off the tutorial/help that comes with the application instead of purchasing this book. It will save you a lot of time and frustration.
