Title: Microsoft Access 2000 Bible Publisher: Wiley Authors: Cary N. Prague, Michael R. Irwin Rating: 2/5 This book disappoints a lot due to its promising title. It covers the basics adequately, with step-by-step instructions and lots of screen dumps. There are, however, no VBA code examples, and in my view no information on professional database development. I could hardly imagine developing a sturdy application of some size without using at least some code and impose some limitations to what the user might do. This is a introductory book that needs some reality check on what a real application is, and given its present title I cannot recommend it.

Title: Hacking Exposed: Network Security Secrets & Solutions, Fourth Edition (Hacking Exposed) Publisher: McGraw-Hill Osborne Media Authors: Stuart McClure, Joel Scambray, George Kurtz Rating: 5/5 This book will scare you if you are an admin. Shows not only hacker tools/utilities but also how administrator's toolkits can be your own worst enemy. Essential to know what's possible in order to defend against it.

Title: Network+ Guide to Networks, Third Edition Publisher: Course Technology Authors: Tamara Dean Rating: 5/5 I read this book cover-to-cover and passed with 95%. It does a great job of covering the details of networking and TCP/IP. It has more information than what you'll need for Network+, but that just means it does a great job covering everything. I've only got two more exams to go before MCSE 2000, and I'm certain the networking foundation has helped out a lot.

Title: Linux Firewalls (2nd Edition) Publisher: Sams Authors: Robert Ziegler Rating: 5/5 This is an extremely comprehensive book covering all the vital areas of linux firewalls. It has a great structure and is easy to understand for someone with little linux experience. This is a fantastic book and I thoroughly recommend it!! I hope you find it as useful as I have.
