Title: Object-Oriented Software Construction (Book/CD-ROM) (2nd Edition) Publisher: Prentice Hall PTR Authors: Bertrand Meyer Rating: 5/5  If one were to read only one book on software construction, this would have to be it. It covers all the essential areas with a logic that is difficult to refute and a clarity and style which make it a pleasure to read. If you have read the previous edition buy this one. The first edition was excellent, but this one is much better written and covers an amazing amount of new material. Every software practioner, regardless of their experience and expertise, should read it.

Title: Macromedia Flash MX ActionScripting: Advanced Training from the Source Publisher: Macromedia Press Authors: Derek Franklin, Jobe Makar Rating: 2/5  I am into the 4th chapter and I sometimes just can't help but chuckle about the simplicity of this book. The author assumes that the reader is a complete newbie to Flash & ActionScript. He repeats things until the horse is dead, dead, dead! The book is full of fluff to increase the page count. However, if you never touched ActionScript or any programming language then this book is for you. It's a book that will take a newbie to an intermediate level if you can get passed the fluff and not fall asleep to the repeating advice. There are mistakes in the book as well. Ran into one last night that I couldn't believe was missed in the editing process. It's a lesson paced book which is why I bought it but I would opt for something else if you want an "Advanced" ActionScript reference.

Title: Hacking Exposed: Network Security Secrets & Solutions, Fourth Edition (Hacking Exposed) Publisher: McGraw-Hill Osborne Media Authors: Stuart McClure, Joel Scambray, George Kurtz Rating: 5/5 This book is great for hackers and administrators it teaches everything you need to know for basics and more advanced. It shows you how to think like a hacker. Even though you already know something in this book you will even know more about the subject and find things about what you thought you knew that are amazing.

Title: Cisco BGP-4 Command & Configuration Handbook Publisher: Pearson Education Authors: William R. Parkhurst, Ph.D., William R. Parkhurst Rating: 5/5 If you start with BGP you can read Doyle's Routing TCP/IP vol II. For the complete picture and also if your are a beginner, read Halabi's Internet Routing Architecture 2nd edition (if to choose one, buy this last) If you already practice BGP and want to achieve the "BGP's state of the art", buy Parkhurst's BGP-4 Command and configuration handbook. This is NOT a command reference book which are very unuseful. Although Cisco is doing efforts with their web site, it's missing many explanations on commands. It is never as good as this book that contains a lot of examples for illustrating the why and how.
