Title: Code Complete Publisher: Microsoft Press Authors: Steve McConnell Rating: 5/5  The book is fantastic. I have no formal training as a programmer, so this book helped me develop a much stronger understand of not just how to program, but how to program well. As for the applicability of this book given the advent of the web: the book is still useful. A web application may not be one big compiled program, but it is, some claim, an object that has urls as methods and get/post/cookie data as arugments. While web programming is different from monolithic programming in may ways, the lessons I've learned from this book have helped a great deal in the development of several web applications. Sure, a new edition would be welcomed, but it is not required.

Title: Thinking in Java (3rd Edition) Publisher: Prentice Hall PTR Authors: Bruce Eckel Rating: 5/5 I learned C++ from Bruce's book "the C++ In and Out". That was a brilliant book. I have been trying to find a good decent book on java like that since the beginning of Java. I have bought many books like "Jave Nutshell", "Explore Java", "Beginning Java", and "Core Java". None of these books is right for me. When I knew there was a book on java written by Bruce, I didn't hesitate a second to buy it from Amazon. "Thinking in Java" is exactly what I am looking for. It explains the java concept in detail, it doesn't treat you as a dummy who just want to know how to program in java, it also explains java in the concept of the programming language. Best book. Recommend for any experienced programmer.

Title: Programming Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Publisher: Microsoft Press Authors: Francesco Balena Rating: 3/5  Why Did I review a book that is not ready to Sell? Because Mr. Balena is one of the best VB teaches and programmers around the word. I've been reading his articles in VBPJ magazine and they are excellent. I was at VBits'99 Chicago listening to Mr. Balena speak at different Workshops and I asked him if all this good stuff is include in the book and He said, in his Italian accent, " YES!", and the book is huge too (I did not realize it has 1,400 pages). Buy it. I already did. Why Did I give it 4 stars and not five? Because the publisher is Microsoft. :-) Gonzalo Medina
