Title: Google Hacks, 2nd Edition (Hacks)
Publisher: O'Reilly
Authors: Tara Calishain, Rael Dornfest
Rating: 5/5
Customer opinion - 5 stars out of 5
Nice Book


I am a Search Engine Optimization Consultant myself and I must say that this book is really worth a buy and deserves a prime spot on your Book Shelf. I know some people say that things are pretty much standard....but you just can't expect something to Hack into Google in this book. It is basically a very NICELY organized source of Tips and Tricks to use Google and somethings that work out wonderful because of the Google API.
Overall a must read and a great publication from O'Reilly. if you need more details or personally comments about this book, feel free to email me or IM me. My contact info is available at http://www.nakulgoyal.com

Topnotch all time classic on object orientation, a must read


This book and the one from Meilir Page-Jones are absolutely must reads for the serious object oriented software developer. Meyers book is thick and you will learn during the read a lot of Eiffel. The detour is absolutely worth it.

Title: Microsoft® Excel 2000 Power Programming with VBA
Publisher: Wiley
Authors: John Walkenbach
Rating: 4/5
Customer opinion - 4 stars out of 5
Simple explanations for a complex subject


In the same way that PC World columnist, John Walkenbach, simplified our lives with 'Excel 2000 Formulas', he has now enriched them with 'Power Programming with VBA'. If you've already mastered Excel and need to develop customized applications, this book will soon have you deep into the inner workings of VBA to get you up and writing code without delay.
As with his other books, his style is clear and precise, and the text is arranged in a simple-to-reference way. The page layout is excellent, giving easy-on-the-eye icon notes, references and tips. Even so, as with 'Excel 2000 Formulas' I quickly found myself in charge of a colored highlighter picking out the bits that were important to me. The author also has a flowing style of writing so you don't feel you're working through a manual, It's more like a fun day out, with new discoveries on every page.
VBA had always remained something of a mystery to me until I got stuck into 'Power Programming'. Now (still with a bit of prompting) I'm really getting the hang of it, and finding, again, that I can streamline my workbooks and impress my colleagues.
