Title: Developing Games in Java Publisher: New Riders Publishing Authors: Bret Barker, Laurence Vanhelswue, David Brackeen Rating: 5/5  I have practically every book on learning game programming with the java language and this is the first one that doesn't start out with half the book being a java tutorial. The authors are very knowledgeable on the subject and go over 2d and 3d programming, pathfinding, ai, ... This is the kind of book i want when i buy a book on game programming, not a java tutorial (there are enough tutorials already). I highly recommend this book and can't wait to start developing my own games.

Title: MCAD/MCSD Self-Paced Training Kit: Developing Windows-Based Applications with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET and Microsoft Visual C# .NET Publisher: Microsoft Press Authors: Microsoft Corporation, Microsoft Corporation Rating: 5/5 And lots of hands on practice! I actually thought this book was well written and quite concise. Because exam prep books must cover a wide range of topics I feel the author did an excellent job explaining the many subjects needed to prepare for the test. I actually learned quite a bit from the samples in this book, but I did spend some time really analyzing the code. My suggestion is to type it in yourself. Don't just load it from the CD and run it.

Most of the examples were in both languages. I found this to be helpful since my company is migrating to C#.

Title: Voice & Data Communications Handbook (Standards & Protocols) Publisher: McGraw-Hill Osborne Media Authors: Regis J. Bates, Donald W. Gregory Rating: 4/5  I purchase and review a large number of technical books from the fields of voice and data communications every year, and I can easily state that this book is one of the best introductory texts I've encountered. The authors have chosen a wide range of topics to discuss, but they never lose sight of the importance of providing a reasonable depth of coverage for each topic. Similiar texts I can recommend include "Systems and Networks" by Ray Horvak and Mark Miller, Newton's Telecom Dictionary, by Harry Newton, and for a more sophisticated review of communications: "Emerging Communications Technologies" by Uyless Black and "Enterprise Networking: Data Link Subnetworks" by James Martin
