Title: Mastering Perl for Bioinformatics Publisher: O'Reilly Authors: James D. Tisdall Rating: 3/5  Basically, this book further develops the author's previous work "Beginning Perl for Bioinformatics" on procedural Perl scripting to object-oriented Perl programming. You will learn the OOP aspects of Perl in the context of biological problems. For example, this book explains the OOP concepts by developing a Gene class that stores information about a gene. In other books such as Conway's "Object oriented Perl", CD::Music class is given as an example, which I found very boring. The leap from procedural Perl scripting to object-oriented Perl programming is nontrivial to learn, and I'm sure that this book helps. Bioperl is the subject of chapter 9 (about 40 pages), and it could have been better if there were more thorough treatment about this module. Readers may also find useful the chapters 6 (DBI), 7 (CGI), and 8 (GD). If you are new to Perl, read first "Beginning Perl for Bioinformatics", then this book, because this book assumes that you already have the level of Perl knowledge that can be acquired by that previous book.

Title: Visual Basic.NET How to Program, Second Edition Publisher: Prentice Hall Authors: Harvey M. Deitel, Paul J. Deitel, Tem R. Nieto Rating: 5/5  What makes me say that? Well, I have read just about every VB.NET book that is out there and this is by far the best of them all. The title of this book should have been VB.NET BIBLE. This book assumes that you have no knowledge of a language at all and literally walks you through step by step to become an expert in this new and exciting language. Every example shown actually works unlike most modern Wrox books that have gone down the drain in quality and completeness. Don't be disappointed by the flashy cover of this book - it does exactly what it says: i.e. teaches you ins and outs of this language. I am yet to find something on the subject that is not covered in this book. The only thing that needs revising is the Tables Of Contents at the beginning of the book. I hope this helps!!

Title: Special Edition Using Microsoft Office Access 2003 Publisher: Que Authors: Roger Jennings Rating: 2/5  This book is not for beginners, and may not be for anybody. It is poorly indexed, making it very difficult to find a desired topic. It is also largely based on step-by-step examples, without enough explanation of why something works the way it does. In other words, plenty of detail on specific, pre-determined tasks, but scant exploration of broad topics and ideas.
