Title: The Inmates Are Running the Asylum : Why High Tech Products Drive Us Crazy and How to Restore the Sanity (2nd Edition) Publisher: Sams Authors: Alan Cooper Rating: 4/5  Alan Cooper wants nothing short of cultural change in the software industry. He wants to get programmers out of the business of deciding how humans will interact with computers. He asserts that interaction design specialists should do that. Interaction designers will create self-evident software to which customers will flock. Hear, hear -- but good luck. As long as software companies continue to be profitable with programmers doing interaction design, it's not likely to stop. Unfortunately, Cooper limits his book to the business case for interaction design. This omits the action step: how to effect that cultural change within a software company.

Title: Network Marketing for Dummies Publisher: For Dummies Authors: Zig Ziglar, John P. Hayes Rating: 5/5  I have read hundreds of books on networking, hundreds of books on business, hundreds of text books and at least 5 novels. I met Zig when I was 18, he told me something that changed my life (it's in the book). The concept of this book is simple (thus the Dummies title), if you want to grow your group, this is the one. It is loaded with great information. Now the 5 reasons: 1. Don't but it if you want to spend the next 5 years trying to figure out the industry. 2. Don't buy it if you want to spend the next 5 years trying to figure out people. 3. Don't but it if you want to make every mistake and learn your own lessons. 4. Don't buy it read it and do nothing. 5. Don't buy it unless you have a dream of where you want to go. It's my book of the year!!!

Title: Introduction to the Theory of Computation Publisher: Course Technology Authors: Michael Sipser Rating: 5/5 Sipser did a surprising and didactical synthesis on classic TC topics. And with wit, too! His work is not a boring opus. After years of strugle against texts by honorables like Hopcroft, Lewis & Papadimitriou etc., all important and fundamental but criptic authors, finally someone (that seems had been student someday) writes an understandable book. On library, it is the most looked for. (Obs.: I'm writing here not to add anithing to all that was already well said by other reviewers: it is just for a tribute to the author.)

Title: Sams Teach Yourself Active Server Pages 3.0 in 21 Days Publisher: Sams Authors: Scott Mitchell, James Atkinson Rating: 5/5 When I decided to move into the field of Web-development -- as opposed to Web-design -- I wanted to go with ASP (using VBScipt). This book is, without a doubt, the finest resource available for learning Microsoft's ASP technology. It is well written, and covers just about all the bases of ASP. The only criticism I have is that the nuances of SQL (beyond the SELECT statement) were not covered more in-depth, but as the authors state, that would take a whole other book.
