Title: Beginning Programming for Dummies Publisher: For Dummies Authors: Wally Wang, Wallace Wang Rating: 5/5 This is a very good book for beginners to programming - more specifically qbasic. Qbasic is good because it is free, so if you decide you don't like programming or are no good at it you haven't wasted hundreds of pounds. The book itself explains most of the key features of Qbasic, though only the ones which you need to get started, and there are loads which it doesn't explain. However, with that book I got started on programming, and it is very good and clearly written.

Title: The Big Red Fez: How To Make Any Web Site Better Publisher: Free Press Authors: Seth Godin Rating: 4/5 "Wisdom" has been defined by at least one person as "common sense in an uncommon degree." If that's true, then perhaps Seth Godin is a sage for our time. I'm the CEO of a web consultancy (www.mwi.com) and so I was curious to see if this book would bear out what I already know about designing websites. When it comes down to it, a lot of what Seth says isn't anything revelatory, but it makes sense. If you already have considerable experience designing on the web, I'd say it's a good read because you might learn one or two things that will help you improve what you do, and at least you can then tell people "Experts say the way we do this is the right way." If you have no experience on the web, then this book will be something more than just a review and I would highly recommend it. Best of all, it's short and to the point. You can read it in about a half hour.
