Title: Apple Confidential 2.0: The Definitive History of the World's Most Colorful Company Publisher: No Starch Press Authors: Owen Linzmayer, Owen W. Linzmayer Rating: 5/5  Owen Linzmayer's "Apple Confidential 2.0" book is a must have for people interested in the history, culture, people and technology behind Apple Computer Inc. This book (and Owen's previous Apple histories "The Mac Bathroom Reader" and "Apple Confidential [1.0]") has been meticously researched and uncovers many facts about Apple Computer, its people, and systems that other books don't come close to touching. Instead of rehashing comments from other books which tend to be inaccurate, Owen has spent a tremendous amount of time finding and verifying facts. Instead of just relying on a comment about some aspect of Apple Computer, Owen has taken the time and put forth the effort to communicate directly with those involved with the facts in question. This results in accurate facts, something that many technology computing books about Apple don't always have. I've been involved with Apple systems since the Apple ][ of the later 1970s and am constantly suprised by the information Owen has uncovered. At one time I thought I knew a lot about Apple's history, but Owen has proven me wrong in a beneficial way. The end result of Owen's work is an almost definitive book about a fascinating and quirky company that any Apple computer user must have in their book collection. I'm looking forward to the next Apple Confidential version if such a book will exist in the future. -David T Craig ( shirlgato AT cybermesa DOT com )

Title: Programming .NET Components Publisher: O'Reilly Authors: Juval Lowy Rating: 5/5 Juval Lowy's Programming .Net Components is the Harry Potter for .Net developers. I usually read technical books a chapter at a time, over the course of a month or two; I found .Net Components, however, to be a real page turner. Seriously! I ran through it in a week, devoting any extra time to the text, and I find myself revisiting the chapters that are most relevant to the work I'm tackling. This book includes material on OO design, threading, Remoting, security, versioning, and other advanced topics that you won't find MSDN discussing in this detail or with this practicality. Lowy's combination of .Net framework insight combines with implementation best practices to produce a book for sophisticated software development with .Net. I consider it the best .Net book I've read, and I've read a lot of them.

Title: Solaris 10 : The Complete Reference (Complete Reference Series) Publisher: McGraw-Hill Osborne Media Authors: Paul Watters Rating: 1/5  Why does a book on Solaris 10 need to cover the history of Unix, BSD origins, the shell, the kernel, USENET, mailing list, etc ... useless! This might not be a bad Solaris book, but it's not going to have much to do with Solaris 10, much less "A complete reference" as it proclaims itself to be. Get your reading materials from BigAdmin and save your money for a future better book on Solaris 10.
