Title: Windows Forms Programming in C# Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional Authors: Chris Sells Rating: 5/5 As you would expect from Chris, all the important topics are covered in good depth (though sensibly he defers to the equally good "Essential .NET: Volume 1" in certain areas). Even advanced topics, such as data binding and design-time integration (which are nevertheless very relevant in "real world" scenarios), are made extremely approachable by the clear descriptions and useful advice given.

Title: Where Wizards Stay Up Late: The Origins Of The Internet Publisher: Simon & Schuster Authors: Katie Hafner Rating: 5/5 We all lived through the Beatles, Jefferson Airplane and the Vietnam War. But what was happening in the new agency called Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA)? And how did they ever come up with this thing called the Internet? This is an important book from a historigraphical perspective. It tells he story of the people who conceived of, and started a network of computers talking to each other. Needless to say, it was not without struggle and frustration. But the level of precision which they demanded assured a lasting legacy. Besides describing the beginnings of the Internet, the authors describe decisions that went into molding early services, Telnet, FTP and E-Mail. Hafner & Lyon have guarenteed themselves a place on the shelf along side Steven Levy (Hackers) and Clifford Stolle (The Cuckoo's Egg). Carl Dolmetsch / Newport News, VA carld@visi.net
