Title: Google Hacks, 2nd Edition (Hacks) Publisher: O'Reilly Authors: Tara Calishain, Rael Dornfest Rating: 5/5  In a smoke-filled darkened room the faceless, nameless young man sits silently pouring over screens and screens of data. Reading the scrolling text that flies across the screen searching for that one magic phrase. Is it day or night? Is it Monday or Wednesday? He hasn't a clue; all he cares about is one thing -- hacking. If this is what you expect the newly released O'Reilly book Google Hacks to be about, well, I am afraid that you need to mosey on over to the fiction section. This book is a collection of tips, trips, workaround and "not-so-secret" techniques that you can use to enrich your Google experience. Now, I know what most of you are saying -- it's JUST a search engine. I type in what I want to find and see what it spits out. If this is your attitude about Google, then this book is one of the must have's you should add to your library. You will never think of Google as "just a search engine" again. Through step-by-step examples, and visual examples, the author takes you through how to use Google to its full extent. He shows you how to narrow searches and get those 2,500,000 results page down to something more manageable and more relevant to you. In essence, he shows you how to make Google work for your benefit. There is also considerable coverage given to third-party Google tools and toys -- such as Google Whacking, Google Blogging and many others. He shows you how others have taken what Google provides and expanded upon it to make games, research tools and interactive applications. You will find yourself immersed in the world of Google Whacking -- the search for the magic combination of search words that give you one, precise result! This book is geared towards those who use Google for searching and research purposes as well as those who want to incorporate Google's tools into their own sites. The author goes into detail about the newly released Google API for incorporating content into your site and other programs. Novice users should not be afraid of the technical complexity this book has in some places; they can simply skip over the more technical parts without fear of missing out on the important details. Overall, this is the perfect companion book for those who find themselves using Google as their main research tool. It will help you become a better Google user, and help you to use the power of Google to further your research along and give you the precise information you need.

Title: Serial Port Complete Publisher: Lakeview Research Authors: Jan Axelson, Jan Axelson Rating: 2/5  This book is quite disappointing. It's coverage is both narrow and shallow. If you're after some code to do serial programming from Visual Basic it's probably ok, but any different or deeper than that, you're better off with what you'll find on Google.

Title: Microsoft SQL Server(TM) 2000 DTS Step by Step (Step By Step (Microsoft)) Publisher: Microsoft Press Authors: Carl Rabeler Rating: 3/5  I have gone through half the book. The good part:Walks you through many areas step-by-step. Repeats steps in other excerises. You will learn a lot. The bad part:The book doesn't teach you a process from the making of a connection to processing a cube. I need to Extact, Transform, & Load, and then process a cube. The book teaches ETL. Try another book. TC

Não importa se você programa em Delphi, VB, PB, C++, Java, Cobol, PL1 ou Natural.
