In 2001, I was working for an investment bank in London where I was trying to come up with a consistent framework for my Excel models as applied to everyday corporate finance issues. My boss showed me this book he'd recently purchased in the High Street that set out a standardised methodology for developing models and unleashing the power of Excel. This book was Day's first edition and I had to have it but for some reason it slipped off my book purchase list. Try as I might, I was unable to find a copy these last six years (mainly because I'd forgotten the title & author!!).

Anyhow, I finally tracked the book down (completely by accident) together with its counterpart "Mastering Financial Mathematics" recently on a trip back ... Read More:

This book avoids most of the pitfalls of Ed Haletky's work. It has been properly proof-read, edited and is not as dry.

McCain comes across an accomplished technical author and makes good use of visuals to explain the concepts he's introducing, an area where I felt the Haletky text was lacking. McCain also has a knack of making obscure concepts accessible using straightforward and readily understood examples.

The explanation of virtual networking is particularly good and the author clears up some of the fog surrounding ESX and the iSCSI protocol, especially the need for service console and VMkernel ports. Having implemented iSCSI solutions based on the official VMware documentation, I still found this text to be useful. ... Read More:

I found this extremely helpful in helping me master the fundamental principles of JAVA. Head First specialise in creating a visual learning experience. This might at first seem strange but once you get used to it, you see the value and begin to wish more people made it this easy. Recommend.

First the negatives
+ Loads of mainly minor editing mistakes everywhere, the main body of the text and Q+A at the end of every chapter,

+ In the last chapter LCR is not taken through its logical conclusion.
+ The online site does not provide an errata/corrections list.

Postives
+ Covers the material well enough
+ Each chapter has at its end a Q+A section, to re-enforce learning.
+ You get Exchange 2007 32bit+64bit on to DVD plus additional questions on a CD.

Here is an area where the old school of design still lingers, the book is very suitable for specific tasks but really needs improving on. Having said that I threw away my copy of Charlotte Baden-Powell's book as soon as I got this - because even this tome is much more useable than hers.

I'm a great fan of the Warcraft universe and play a level 60 Alliance Mage of Stormwind in the online version - World of Warcraft. In this tale, Aaron Rosenberg brings the World of Warcraft universe to life in the telling of the time when the Horde first crosses the Dark Portal and unleases mayhem on the world of Azeroth.

The tale is of the Orc warchief Doomhammer and the assault on my beloved Stormwind; it is the time when the Alliance is formed to meet the Horde challenge. Rosenberg keep faithfully to the background plot and brings all the characters from the World of Warcraft alive. If you play the game (especially if you play a Paladin), you will recognise many of the places (perhaps even been there) and many of the characters. If ... Read More:
