Title: Object-Oriented Analysis and Design with Applications (2nd Edition) Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional Authors: Grady Booch Rating: 3/5  I read this book about five years ago from cover to cover, omitting a couple of the extended examples. Honestly, it did not make me significantly better at designing programs or analyzing requirements. It's been said there's no silver bullet for designing programs, but considering this book's wide reputation it ought to be helpful. And I don't think it helped me except I guess in a subtle slight deepbackground way. Certainly there are things in the book that are worth knowing but this is not the best place to get them from, imho.

Title: How Computers Work, Seventh Edition Publisher: Que Authors: Ron White, Timothy Edward Downs Rating: 2/5  An interesting and informative if not substantive book. This isn't a complaint, I knew this when I bought it. What I did not know is that it would be so rife with errors. I am on page 52 of the book and have found no less than 5 of them, mostly grammatical. Publishing companies: please, please hire competent editors who have some background in the English language and are also somewhat familiar with the material that is being edited. Here's a real gem, pretty much indicative of the quality of information that is sometimes passed off in the text: "Microsoft, (upon creating windows), could guarantee that billions of dollars of software and business data already created under DOS wouldn't still be usable." Think you were looking for "would" there, chief. So what parts of this book do I trust as fact and not a typo?

Title: Essential .NET, Volume I: The Common Language Runtime Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional Authors: Don Box Rating: 5/5  This book is written by a professional architect for professional developers but not immediately for primers. The content is clear, precise and describes in depth all important technical aspects of the CLR. I am waiting the volume 2 - XML Web Services.

Title: Routing TCP/IP, Volume II (CCIE Professional Development) Publisher: Cisco Press Authors: Jeff Doyle, Jennifer DeHaven Carroll Rating: 5/5 Just had a brief read thru. It covers extensively on EGP & BGP. Excellent coverage on IPv6 & multicast, which can't be found elsewhere. Good book for CCIE candidates! By having the Vol I & II books, you can cover almost all in TCP/IP routing.
