Title: Inside Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (With CD-ROM) Publisher: Microsoft Press Authors: Kalen Delaney Rating: 5/5  Kalen does it again. This is one of the best books that is available on SQL Server and talks in detail about how sql server works. The code samples in the book are excellent and are very helpful to illustrate the points that the author makes. She is an excellent author. I storngly recommend this book to all SQL Server professionals.

Title: The Portable PMP® Prep: Conversations on Passing the PMP® Exam Publisher: ESI International Authors: Carl L. Pritchard, J. LeRoy Ward Rating: 5/5 I found listening to these two gentlemen discuss the subject matter helpful since their examples were a little closer to real life scenarios, in simpler terms than the sometimes dry and theoretical treatment given by other resources. I listened to all nine discs twice and am now listening to them again since the test is behind me and the pressure is off. Everytime I listen, I learn something new I missed the previous time. Although there is no substitute to the PMBOK for understanding the material covered on the test, these audio CD's provide good perspective on the subject matter, I passed the test and attribute part of it to the understanding of the content covered in these audio CDs.

Title: Sams Teach Yourself Java 2 in 21 Days (4th Edition) (Sams Teach Yourself) Publisher: Sams Authors: Rogers Cadenhead, Laura Lemay Rating: 3/5  I would have loved this book, except there are no exercises, and the standard Sam's "BUG BUSTERS" are missing as well.

Title: Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs - 2nd Edition (MIT Electrical Engineering and Computer Science) Publisher: The MIT Press Authors: Harold Abelson, Gerald Jay Sussman Rating: 5/5 As is probably obvious from the sharply divided ratings, this book doesn't appeal to everybody. For me, it deserves the full five stars. This was the *only* textbook I kept from college. My leanings are more toward the theoretical, and I'm more interested in conceptual books (like the GOF patterns book) than implementation books (like, say, K&R). I think that this is a reasonable guideline for evaluating whether or not this book is worth reading... So, I give this book five stars in terms of a theoretically oriented read, and maybe two stars in terms of a practically oriented read.
