Title: CWNA Certified Wireless Network Administrator Official Study Guide (Exam PW0-100), Third Edition (Planet3 Wireless) Publisher: McGraw-Hill Osborne Media Authors: Planet3 Wireless Rating: 5/5  Why limit yourself to vendor specific wireless networking certifications? This book covers all aspects of wireless networking not just specific vendor specifications and protocalls. This is the book to read to prepare yourself for the CWNA exam. This book will cover all areas on the CWNA exam as well as provide you with complete practice questions. The CWNA is quickly becoming the industry standard certification for wireless networking, because it encompasses all aspects of wireless networking and is one of the first networking certification that is not vendor specific. So why limit yourself to vendor specific training and certification when the CWNA can help you prepare for all aspects of the rapidly growing wireless networking industry. I would greatly recomend this book to anyone thinking about entering or expanding into wireless networking. I would also recomend that anyone thinking of entering the Networking industry highly consider training in wireless networking because it is a constantly and rapidly growing.

Title: Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers (4th Edition) Publisher: Prentice Hall Authors: Kip R. Irvine Rating: 5/5 This book has a good opening. When I learn a programming language, I want to see a sample program as soon as possible. This book provides such a sample program immediately after a short introduction to hardware concepts. This sample program loads registers, changes their contents, and dumps them. One can type the program in, see how it works, and gain a good confidence for further reading. The library procedures provided by the author are helpful for learning and debugging. Usually, programs in assembly languages are difficult to debug, and their execution is hard to track, even if debug software is used. For programs in high-level languages, one can easily insert into them input and output statements to track their execution. For assembly language, writing such statements may be harder than writing the program itself. With these library procedures, especially those for data input/output, one can easily track the execution. The 4th edition of this book emphasizes programming in 32-bit protected mode. In this mode, flat memory addresses are used. Students do not have to convert a 16-bit segment-offset address into a 20-bit address. This tremendously simplifies the addressing concepts and eases the learning. This book does cover 16-bit real-mode in later chapters when students are more ready for it. A good textbook must be easy for reading as well as for reference. This book has both features. It starts with short explanations, uses excellent diagrams, and discusses comprehensive applications for every topic covered. Topics are well classified into fundamentals and advanced, 32-bit Windows programming and 16-bit DOS programming, protected mode and real-address mode, etc. Important aspects of assembly language are all included, systematically organized, and well indexed.

Title: Beginning XML (Programmer to Programmer) Publisher: Wrox Authors: David Hunter, Andrew Watt, Jeff Rafter, Kurt Cagle, Jon Duckett, Bill Patterson Rating: 4/5  I think this a good book on XML. You need previous programming experience (preferably Java), which authors fail to alert in the beginning. It is not like learning HTML. Many times, half a sentence says one thing and the other half contradicts the first half. Sometimes, at critical locations, it is impossible to figure what the author is trying to say. While writing, do not assume that the readers know what in your mind is. Please write clear/simple sentenses. Figures could be used to explain concepts rather than writing a paragraph. The book needs editing. Content-wise, the book is great.

Title: Programming Embedded Systems in C and C ++ Publisher: O'Reilly Authors: Michael Barr Rating: 3/5  This book gives a good introduction without being so basic that the experienced programmer loses interest. I read it cover-to-cover in an afternoon. I've been programming embedded systems for about 5 years, the last year or so in C++ and found the discussion of C vs. C++ as they relate to the embedded world of particular interest. I also learned some new tricks in the Optimization chapter. Every programmer I know has O'Reily books on their shelf. This is my first, definitely not my last.
