Title: Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference (2nd Edition) Publisher: O'Reilly Authors: Danny Goodman Rating: 5/5  I use this book primarily because I can't remember all of the HTML tags and all of the attributes you can use with each. This alphabetizes and gives a complete explanation of exactly how each HTML entity can be used, including more details than you'll ever need concerning the different attributes (parameters). This book not only gives the complete HTML specification, but it also describes whether each feature is supported by IE or Netscape (and which version). It discusses how different browsers will handle the same code, which is a big plus in my eyes. And, HTML is not all of it; it covers CSS, DOM, and JavaScript: CSS: This also describes how you can alternatively use CSS (cascading style sheets) to model the objects in your web pages, which often gives you more control over how it looks. (This involves setting the STYLE attribute of a tag.) DOM: This describes how you can modify HTML objects, even *after* the page has been loaded, by accessing the objects' properties inside your scripts, whether it is JavaScript or VBScript or whatever. JavaScript: It gives a reference for the core language. So, at the very least, if you ever want to know all the cool things possible with HTML, this is an incredible reference, with brief examples. Five stars!

Title: Applying UML and Patterns : An Introduction to Object-Oriented Analysis and Design and Iterative Development (3rd Edition) Publisher: Prentice Hall PTR Authors: Craig Larman Rating: 4/5  This book has a good balance of being easy to understand for a novice yet remains useful for an experienced reader. I am in about the middle and I found the OO analysis and design very useful. The POS example used throughout the book is excellent. There are plenty of figures and examples that make this book easy to use as a reference guide. I had the most trouble understanding the differences between the GRASP patterns. The book could be improved in this area. Overall this textbook is an excellent buy, and I'm sure I'll use it plenty more in the future.

Title: The Unified Software Development Process Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional Authors: Ivar Jacobson, Grady Booch, James Rumbaugh Rating: 4/5 The arriving of UML has had a tremendous impact on the software world. With the speed of its acceptance UML has everyone talking in the same notation (if not the same language). This book takes the debate to the next logical level, which is the process of actually building complex software systems. The Unified Process has the correct focus of building software for the users (requirements driven) in a given framework (architecture centric). It also emphasizes iterative development, which is a key success factor in today's market. The book is well organized and extremely adept at tackling such a complex issue. By identifying artifacts, workers and workflow for every phase of software development, the book delivers actionable advice to project managers and software developers. It is important to identify the book's focus and not confuse it with other topics, such as Business Process Reengineering and Object Reuse. It is obvious that the Unified Process is a distillation of years of experience and should be a reference point for anyone who is trying to tackle software development
