Title: Professional Active Server Pages 3.0 (Programmer to Programmer) Publisher: Peer Information Authors: Alex Homer, David Sussman, Brian Francis, George Reilly, Dino Esposito, Craig McQueen, Simon Robinson, Richard Anderson, Andrea Chiarelli, Chris Blexrud, Bill Kropog, John Schenken, Matthew Gibbs, Dean Sonderegger, Dan Denault Rating: 5/5 Well organized, presented and thorough. The first 200 pages get you cooking and the remaining puts flesh and advanced functionality on the bones. One caveat, it is ASP 3.0 and hence IIS 5 but the differences with ASP 2/IIS 4 are noted and highlighted. You should also be well grounded in HTML, VBScript and data base programming to jump into this book. It is NOT going to teach you these things. It is aimed at the "PROFESSIONAL", others should build their foundations first.

Title: Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers (4th Edition) Publisher: Prentice Hall Authors: Kip R. Irvine Rating: 4/5 When I began using this book for a class, I didn't appreciate it. Later when I took a class in which we had to write SPARC assembler, I found that knowing Intel assembler was profoundly helpful (even though the commands and structure differ greatly) (this being that we didn't even have a text book on SPARC assembler and only could get instruction references from Sun's web site). Anyway, I think that this book does most of what it should - teach the basics of assembler for Intel processors. What's missing - not much that after going through the book you can't figure out without some investigation.

Title: Direct from Dell: Strategies that Revolutionized an Industry Publisher: HarperBusiness Authors: Michael Dell, Catherine Fredman Rating: 5/5 The negative reviewers likely found Dell's success too simple, too easy to be this good. Fact is, some of the most successful ideas are the simple ones. Dell's had his problems to be sure but the model of being Direct is as old as the hills only reinvented on a large scale by Michael Dell in modern times. If you can't learn from this book, then you simply can't learn or already know everything! It's a great book, a book I have given as a present several times. Well done Mr D!
