Title: Macromedia Flash MX ActionScripting: Advanced Training from the Source Publisher: Macromedia Press Authors: Derek Franklin, Jobe Makar Rating: 5/5  This book arrived by post at 06.57 in the morning - by late in the evening, I'd read through all 606 pages of it. I couldn't put it down. It is the most comprehensive book on ActionScripting I've ever seen and very easy to read. Best of all, for my money, is the fact that it fills in gaps which other books seem to leave uncovered. As a very general example, it explains things like 'levels' in a way in which it is very easy to understand, whereas I have other books which go 90% of the way, but which leave some tiny doubt as to the exact ramifications inherent in the usage.The book is thorough in its treatment of every topic upon which it touches - and it touches many of them! It also covers pretty well all the new features of Flash MX: text objects, listeners, improved object orientation etc. and makes topics such as prototyping and how/why it is used, simple enough for anyone to understand. The book assumes no real prior knowledge of ActionScripting, or even programming in any form. What it does assume and quite rightly so, is a reasonable grasp of Flash itself. Had it not done so, it would not have been able to squeeze so much information into its 600-odd pages.In short - this is a great book and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone interested in getting to grips with the more in-depth aspects of Flash MX. Well done, Derek and Jobe!

Title: Oracle PL/SQL 101 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Osborne Media Authors: Christopher Allen Rating: 5/5 Coming from a non-technical background, I have often been intimidated and frustrated at the book choices available to "newbies" to this field. But out of the myriad of books I've tried, this by far the most well-written and straightforward I've encountered. Technical acuman and communication skills do not often go hand in hand, but Christopher Allen appears to have mastered both.

Title: Oracle Database 10g High Availability with RAC, Flashback, and Data Guard (Osborne ORACLE Press Series) Publisher: McGraw-Hill Osborne Media Authors: Matthew Hart, Scott Jesse, Matthew Hart, Scott Jesse Rating: 4/5  I like this book and it has excellent breadth especially the RAC wait event tuning. My only issue was that it did not have enough detail, but I liked what was there.
