Title: Tricks of the Windows Game Programming Gurus Publisher: Sams Authors: Andre Lamothe Rating: 5/5 If you wanna get into GAME'S PROGRAMMING world this book is for you. Lamonthe explains all topics really kindly, nothing is going to get hung. The only problem is that sometimes you'll find some lines of source code surplus so be careful. I think there is nothing else to say about except that the book is amazing.

Title: XML Bible (2nd Edition) Publisher: Wiley Authors: Elliotte Rusty Harold Rating: 5/5 I have just purchased this book, and I'm debating if I should send it back. I use a Macintosh, and although there is an XML Editor out there for the Mac (Emile Pro) this book and it's CD are non-inclusive of users of the Mac platform. It says so on page Xiii in the book but there was no warning online before I bought it. Too bad, considering it would have been a small effort for a book about a platform-independent development tool.

Title: Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire : Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Prima's Official Strategy Guides) Publisher: Prima Games Authors: ELIZABETH HOLLINGER Rating: 5/5 This strategy guide is the only Ruby and Sapphire guide worth getting (as of 3-24-03). The other "official" guide doesn't even have a pokedex, which is the one thing you need when you are playing pokemon! This one is great. The berries section is a bit confusing, but the pokedex more than makes up for it!

Title: Mastering BEA WebLogic Server: Best Practices for Building and Deploying J2EE Applications Publisher: Wiley Authors: Gregory Nyberg, Robert Patrick, Paul Bauerschmidt, Jeff McDaniel, Raja Mukherjee, Gregory Nyberg, Robert Patrick Rating: 5/5 I have had the opportunity to work with the main author Greg Nyberg, on a Weblogic/J2EE based order entry system. I can verify that he is highly regarded and brings a wealth of knowledge to a project. Through "Master BEA Weblogic Server" some of that knowledge and experience is shared with the rest of us. This book is an excellent source of information for anyone who interacts with Weblogic and wants to know the how and the why of this application server. This book should prove very valuable to a few different groups of professionals. Network and Weblogic Administrators, J2EE developers deploying to Weblogic, and anyone investigating J2EE application servers will all find this book useful. I read this book cover to cover. It's not as dry as some of the O'Reilly books and provides useful diagrams when words won't suffice. It doesn't feel rushed and is free of the obvious typos that plague so many technical books today. Highly recommended. Buy it, read it and keep it close at hand.
