5-0 out of 5 stars Larson is the Best
Great, easy to follow.Mr. Larson is the best SQL 2005 RS/BI author in my opinion.Also, I attended some of his sessions at DevCon 2006 in Orlando.He is very knowledgable and approachable.He takes the time during and after sessions to answer all questions.

5-0 out of 5 stars Zen and the art of Reporting Services
SQL Server Reporting Services is a comprehensive, server-based reporting solution which provides support to develop, manage, and deliver reports on different mediums and platforms. Brian Larson in his latest book, "SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services" has done an excellent job in making the case for SQL Server Reporting Services (SRSS) by providing comprehensive knowledge to jump start with SQL server reporting services.
5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book for Learning Reporting Services
How many times have you read a book that explains a technology, only to find out that you can't really be productive with it until you learn the tool that delivers it?Without a doubt, knowing how a technology works is important. But, these days, so is being productive right out of the box. This book gives the reader the best of both worlds.

5-0 out of 5 stars a comprehensive widget set for C++
When C++ was first put together in the 80s, it was just before the advent of GUIs for many programs. But as Java arose in the 90s, and then C#, the need for easy UI coding in C++ became very clear. Hence Qt was developed. Now in its 4th version. And available for Microsoft Windows, linux, Macintosh and several unixes. The accompanying CD has version 4.1.1. Though by the time you get this book, you might want to scout the Web, either for patches to this version, or a more recent version.

4-0 out of 5 stars Great Book but needs a few things added.
I won't bore you with another rendition of the books praises, enough other people have already written them below.What I will tell you is what is not enough or missing:The word toolkit to me implies that there are tools included (i.e. a cd or dvd) - there is none.Many things are discussed and examples given where a CD with code, sample questionaires, sample project plans ( in standard tool formats such as MS Project) and such would have been welcome.This downgrades the books usefullness for me.
3-0 out of 5 stars Not a "How To", it's a methodology
Excellent book for middle to upper management to learn the 10,000 foot overview of data warehousing.Reading this book can give you all the jargon you'll need to smooze your fellow IT personnel across a conference room table about data warehousing.
3-0 out of 5 stars The Microsoft Data Warehouse Toolkit - Good book, but not an excellent book.
Basically, the kimball group , joined the book The Data Warehouse Lifecycle Toolkit (TDWLT) + MS BI Toolset.

4-0 out of 5 stars Good Reference, Worthy Sequel For More Advanced Topics
Describing more advanced topics of c++, such as - things you should know before overloading special operators, inner works of exception-handling (and what you should avoid while using them), how the virtual table is built when using RTTI & Inheritance, general efficiency issues (such as the works of temporaries and multiple inheritance) and few Design-Patterns related techniques.
5-0 out of 5 stars A good supplementary reference
It provides even more explanation than the first book and they both have similar advantages: easy-readable, explained in detail, large and useful topics covered.

5-0 out of 5 stars use the STL and string objects
Scott Meyers continues in the vein of his earlier successful "Effective C++". If you benefited from the insight presented in that book, you may well want to follow up with a study of this text. It assumes a general familiarity with C++, though not necessarily with all the obscure details. It continues in the style of the earlier book by collating useful advice garnered from the C++ community. Which is probably one of the largest groups of programmers in the world.

4-0 out of 5 stars Good, thorough book on C#/.NET 2.o foundations
Overall, this book is a good, wide-ranging text on C# and the .NET 2.0 platform. However, it can be a little long-winded and hard to read.
5-0 out of 5 stars Coul be an excellent additionto your C# library
Generally, this book is technically sound, very well written and very easy to read. The examples are succinct, logically presented and very easy to follow. I do agree that the author repeats some things quite "moderately", but I also believe the intent is to get the point across. Using this text, I have gained a better understanding of Processes and Threads, among other things, running under .Net. Nonetheless, "Programming C# "by Jesse Liberty could be used to shore up or augment certain chapters; chapter 9 which covers Indexers and Collections is an example. Read both books for thorough coverage on c#.
5-0 out of 5 stars The Best
If you need to learn C# and get your project done this week, this book is not for you. If you want to learn the nuts and bolts of C# and do it right, this is the book for you. This book will teach you the stuff that you skipped over in college. ... Read more

This book is outstanding for what it covers. It's a great reference for some core topics, as well as for techniques most programmers may never use, but just might. If you ever happen to need to use reflection or multithreading, for example, look no further than this book for a thorough explanation.

4-0 out of 5 stars Ditto what the other reviewer's said!
This book was just what I needed to get started in MS Visual Basic 2005.It is well-written.The book included disk of sample programs that has been extremely helpful.The exercises in the book actually worked and taught me what I needed.
4-0 out of 5 stars straightforward and easy to understand
For the beginning programmer, this is a perfect book. But since I'm familiar with windows and programming, some of the instructions were redundant. I guess that's why it's called step by step.
4-0 out of 5 stars A Great Resource
I have no previous programming experience.After only five days with this book, I have already built programs beyond the scope of the book.This text lays a strong foundation using simple language and to-the-point examples.The only reason that I do not give it five stars is because it does not include review exercises for you to do on your own and check against prepared solutions. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars One of the Best
This is a great C++ book.My experience is with the first edition, and I'm sure they've improved even that.The book is so easy to read and follow.The pages, and the code, are in color, so that specific lines of a program are highlighted to indicate the principle that the author is making.
5-0 out of 5 stars Absolutely a great book
Absolute C++ is definitely one of my favourites. It is very well written, colorful, and very helpful. It covers so many things in detail and explains everything very well. During my courses in computer programming this book was my rescue!

5-0 out of 5 stars The only C++ book I like

1-0 out of 5 stars Errors and omissions
The discussion on how to use the new SqlCacheDependency class is wrong. The book claimed (in page 623) that "with SQL Server 2005 no setup work is needed and no external objects must be added to the Database.". In reality, you need to setup several permissions in the database side. In addition, you have to make sure that the compatibility level of your database is set to 90.
5-0 out of 5 stars Does what it says on the cover
This book is an excellent introduction to the facilitites available in ASP.NET 2.0. It covers simple topics such as HTML controls, WebControls, page lifecycle etc, and also goes a little deeper to discuss details of providers, personalisation & master pages to name but a few. There are also several chapters devoted to displaying data using ADO.Net which are useful. There's also a good chapter on ASP.NET security. Most if not all of this information is available on the web, however having a single book that covers these topics is well worthwhile - it's a great book to have by your side when you are writing ASP.NET sites.

4-0 out of 5 stars Broad and deep coverage
The two books of this series (Core Reference & Advanced Topics) offer broad and deep coverage of ASP.NET.

4-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Textbook
This was my college text for an intro level class within my information systems major at the University of Texas at Tyler.While I was first a bit worried over the sheer size of the book I soon came to love it.
3-0 out of 5 stars Not as good as some may suggest...
This book is too dense, basicly all you are getting is one third of the book on the subject. However, the explanation is well written and clear, but it follows few chapters after given example code.
4-0 out of 5 stars Very Good Book on C (Emphasis on Beginners)
This book is used in FSU's CGS 3408 course: "Introduction to Programming with the C Language."In the preface, the Deitels state that this book is for everyone (beginners to experts) who want to learn C.They've made a very good stab at that goal, but realistically, I'd have to say that those who are professional programmers in other languages will find this book too long for their needs.For beginners (and even those moderately versed in other languages), this is an excellent book.I really have only three minor gripes about it:

The reading is tedious, and in my opinion he does not cover some concepts thoroughly, such as casting. On the other hand, it is "The" C++ reference, although it isn't perfect.

5-0 out of 5 stars One of the best ASP.NET books
I finished reading this book yesterday and I am very pleased with it. The author starts by explaining some programming basics for both languages (VB.NET and C#). Then he explains ASP controls (html controls and validation controls). During the rest of the book, he develops a web-based intranet and explains many features of ASP such as ADO.NET, DataGrid and DataList controls, DataSets,etc. There is a chapter where the author explains how we can build a shopping cart and connect it to paypal which I found very interesting. The code is very neat and easy to understand. I totally recommend this book to those who would like to learn ASP.NET as well those who want to expand their ASP.NET knowledge.

4-0 out of 5 stars Best .Net Book
The best thing about this book is someone like me who is new to the .DOT NET was able to learn & the paralell comparison between the VB & C# code is excellent. The only disappointment is that with the text book I was expecting a CD with Adobe Reader version as well. Which I did not recieve.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great book on programming new features
This book is clearly written and I feel it does a good job of covering the major new features of SQL Server 2005 well enough so you can get up to speed quickly and save enough time versus puzzling things out using just the online materials that come with SQL Server 2005 to easily justify the purchase price and reading time.A number of people with expertise in various aspects of SQL Server collaborated on this book, and the value of the information in each area reflects the depth of expertise.

i was looking forward for this title recently and i am happy to have read it finally. this title digs in deep in most of the subjects that i was not able to find out by myself with my sql server 2000 knowledge and helped me a lot while getting into the details of advanced olap and reporting services.
5-0 out of 5 stars Great book!
Well, I have been digging into Andrew and Stephen's latest work for a few days now and have been very happy with the results. This book is comprehensive and covers the gambit of topics, including some favorites of mine such as T-SQL, XML, CLR integration, Service Broker, Integration Services, Reporting Services, SMO, and OLAP. Sure, I may be a geek for saying this, but I am looking forward to reading it cover to cover. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars C# Prof. A 1300 page turner!
Great book, good examples.I don't think they missed anything in this book.

3-0 out of 5 stars Too much handholding
This book is a decent introduction to the C# language, in a very slow, very hold-your-hand sort of way. The later chapters on using C# in .NET applications aren't terribly useful because they follow the same overly simplified style of explanation and ultimately run out of space for advanced features.
3-0 out of 5 stars Pros and Cons
PROS:I liked the book, and learned a lot from it.It is both a very broad and deep view of C# and .NET, covering more than most other books.It has good explanations of things like delegates, properties, indexers, and differences between C# and java, C++ and other languages. The section on ADO (SQL Database classes) is especially good, tho it goes pretty fast.This is a professional book, not for beginning programmers, but especially good if you know java or C++ already (I know both, so it helped even more).

4-0 out of 5 stars Framework Design Unraveled - Recommended for Developers & Architects
In the object oriented design and architecture, business objects are simply the entities which abstracts the physical entities in the domain that the component is written to represent. In "Expert C# Business Objects" Rocky Lhotka goes above and beyond this definition and walk us through the different steps of encapsulation, abstraction, behavior representation and business object implementation with distributed systems.
4-0 out of 5 stars Good one
If you are someone who wants to learn the application design process and how to apply your Programming and Software Engineering knowledge, this is the one for you to start with.
3-0 out of 5 stars Some good ideas in the book, but only for a certain type of application and subsequent design
Truly, I think this book is an introduction to Mr. Lhotka's CSLA Framework, and not a text for designing expert business objects. Discovering and designing business objects for an application are tough exercises that are not covered in much detail here.
