Title: Real-Time Concepts for Embedded Systems Publisher: CMP Books Authors: Qing Li, Caroline Yao Rating: 4/5  This book is really well done. The explanations and descriptions seem simple, but I think that's only because they ARE well done. This book can be equally useful for both novice and intermediate programmers. Experts in RTOS's may want something a little less instructive and more like a "reference" manual, but don't be fooled by that statement and over-estimate your skills. If you can't completely describe semiphore types, deadlock breaking strategies and timing wheels, you may still need this book.

Title: Advanced UNIX Programming (2nd Edition) (Addison-Wesley Professional Computing Series) Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional Authors: Marc J. Rochkind Rating: 4/5 In 1987, I encountered the first edition of Rochkind's book. Grew to depend on it as an authoritative discourse on serious unix interprocess programming. Now (finally!) he has issued an updated edition. (Has it really been 19 years?) What is different? Much. Indeed, most of the book. In the first chapter, he summarises myriad developments in the unix world and, of course, the rise of linux. He writes for all the current unix variations and linux. Since 1985, there has been a plethora of different interprocess communications methods. So the chapters on these form a prominent part of the book. Then, naturally, in the networking chapter, who can ignore the web? So Rochkind gives a concise detour into http, with example code for a simple browser and web server. One thing unchanged from the first edition is the well deserved use of "Advanced" in the title. The treatment is sophisticated and, frankly, not an easy read for someone new to the subject. Rochkind writes well, but you do have to concentrate. He goes at a pace that at a very minimum assumes you are already facile in C and with using unix at the user level. The source code examples are simple, once you grasp the concepts. The problems he furnishes in each chapter can be extremely useful if you want to deepen your understanding. The questions are nontrivial and usually expand on salient points discussed in the chapters. If you are indeed new to all this, you should make a serious attempt at the problems.

Title: A+ Certification for Dummies Publisher: For Dummies Authors: Ron Gilster Rating: 4/5 I bought this book for my husband because he wants to get A+ certified in a couple months. I started flipping through it and got hooked on all the things I should be doing to maintain my computer. It is very easy reading and easy to understand.

Title: Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages, Vol. 1: Core Technologies, Second Edition Publisher: Prentice Hall PTR Authors: Marty Hall, Larry Brown Rating: 5/5  I am a java software developer where my specialization is on the client-side. I like GUI programming very much especially SWING, but when I read Marty Hall's Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages(JSP), my point of view of server-side java programming has changed. Now I know how easy to learn servlets and JSP with Marty Hall's book and the power of object-oriented server-side programming. I can now apply his pratical techniques to my java front-end applications and server-side Web applications. I believed that his book, Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages(JSP), will become a classic text book on java server-side programming. Actually, I am waiting for the second edition of his book! More power to the author!
