1.The Naked Trader: How Anyone Can Make Money Trading Shares by: Robbie Burns December 10, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £12.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £7.99 You Save: £5.00 (38%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £7.38
I wish I bought it a year ago when I started trading... If I read this earlier, I could have avoided mistakes I made NT pointed out in the book. The author's writing style is light and friendly so it's not a boring book to read. Clearly pointed out mistakes all newbie investors would make along with good habit of trading. It's not the investing bible nor get rich quick book but it definitely is investing 101 for newbies and intermediate investors.

2.Dreamweaver CS3: The Missing Manual by: David McFarland June 22, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £31.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £20.99 You Save: £11.00 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £15.77
This is by far the best Dreamweaver book I've come across, its made a huge difference to the quality of the sites I build, The CSS tutorials are spot on and make you pick up things you thought were not possible. The author has a great understanding of how a 'rookie' web designer thinks and feels so hats of.

4.Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X by: Aaron Hillegass May 15, 2008

As someone who made the switch to Macs/OS X just over 18-months ago, my interest in how the OS worked led me to buying this book. It's probably the best computer book I've bought full-stop. This is THE BOOK you need to buy for a first-class authoritative introduction to Cocoa, the programming environment for OS X.

5.Excel VBA Programming for Dummies (For Dummies) by: John Walkenbach August 20, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £16.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £11.89 You Save: £5.10 (30%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £9.35
As a professional programmer I wondered whether this was going to patronise me too much; I needn't have worried, Walkenbach's approach is just right. He tells it like it is, with plenty of good examples and real world applications for those examples. I'm sure Walkenback doesn't expect this book to teach you everything about Excel and whilst using it I searched for other examples on the 'Net which reinforced what he was teaching me. But this was the book that provided me with the central learning experience and for which I am eternally grateful. Thanks John!

6.Head First Design Patterns (Head First) by: Eric Freeman, Elisabeth Freeman, Bert Bates, Kathy Sierra October 25, 2004

I am an ASP.NET developer and write in VB and C#. If you program in any OO language the fact that this book is written in Java will not be a problem in the slightest. This book impressed me by the way it took you through implementations of the design patterns in order to help break the learning curve down into more manageable segments. After reading each chapter I knew exactly how the pattern was applied and understood it fully. Something that was a real eye opener for me was that from reading this book I could see that design patterns exist EVERYWHERE in the .NET framework. User controls implements the composite pattern, the whole event driven model is based around the observer pattern and I don't know how many times I've been unknowingly ... Read More:

7.CSS: The Missing Manual by: David McFarland August 24, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £24.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £15.99 You Save: £9.00 (36%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £10.75
I wouldn't recommend it to a raw beginner as it does jump in pretty quickly, but I've got a (very) basic grounding on CSS and found it excellent. The chapters are sensibly organised, the text is easy to read (for font, style and grammar), there's a humour through it to keep it light, and it even suggests that you might want to skip some bits because they're not essential. The tutorials add to the same 'tutorial site' throughout the whole book, so as you work through the chapters there's continuity in the tutorials and you can really see the effects of what you've learned at the end of each chapter. This book has got the info I need, and has the feel of being written by a programmer who's read many a manual in his time and has now written the book we've all ... Read More:

8.PHP 6 and MySQL 5 for Dynamic Web Sites: Visual QuickPro Guide (Visual QuickPro Guides) by: Larry Ullman January 02, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £28.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £17.39 You Save: £11.60 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £18.03
I would normally write more for a review, but for this book I really don't need to. It is superbly well written and easy to follow without being dumbed down to the point where you feel like an idiot (as is often the case with programming books). The case studies are well thought out and presented neatly and always within a very relevant context to scripts that you might actually be able to make use of in the future. It is both an excellent cover to cover read, as well as a reference book for when you're in the middle of coding. Highly highly recommended, worth every penny. (especially since its now half price on amazon compared to what I paid for it, you really have nothing to lose!)

9.Linux Pocket Guide (Pocket Guide: Essential Commands) by: Daniel Barrett February 18, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £6.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.99 You Save: £2.96 (43%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.78
So many books are thick, wordy, and conceal their nuggets of wisdom, but not this one. It's not big, so you won't find full details on (eg) all of the many Linux email clients - but they get a mention. Works well for me (ex BSD 4.x sysop in the 1980s) as well as friends with no previous knowledge of operating systems. It's the examples that are such a help - most of the things we've needed to do are covered with a brief, relevant example. We use it with Ubuntu mainly - Debian distros are not identical to Fedora but we've not seen a problem - both are Linux and conform to the POSIX standard. Reading it cover-to-cover is logical, informative, and highly recommended. Three times, and the info is starting to stick..... Then keep it handy to look things up when you need them! ... Read More:

10.Pro C# 2008 and the .NET 3.5 Platform, Fourth Edition by: Andrew Troelsen November 15, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £37.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £36.09 You Save: £1.90 ( 5%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £21.17
This is a really excellent technical book that you can actually enjoy reading from cover to cover. It assumes a reasonable level of competance, but actually goes through learning C# and .NET in a way that would be an excellent beginners method too (especially if you went through every example, to which source code is available online). The author even manages to get in the odd bit of dry humour too which never goes amiss in a thick technical book such as this! The book regularly points you at a number of web resources which the author has built up over the years which give excellent additional information about topics which are outside the scope of the book. Overall, I'd say this is one of the best technical books I have ever read.
