A well crafted book that has a logical flow. Interestingly it starts by considering DNS design, which shows just how important DNS is, before moving onto Forest and Domain design, Active directory and group Policy. Much will be familiar to those who work with Windows 2003.
As security is now a major Microsoft focus the exam- and therefore a reoccurring theme throughout the book- considers how to design in security through Network Access Policies, branch deployments, Public Key Infrastructures and data security. The section on security policies and how to set a security baseline is a real call to arms to actually implement rather than just learn to pass an exam.
The major enhancements in Windows 2008 - and obvious exam question choices ... Read More:

We're just launching a new project, and we'll be using Agile for the first time. I've found this book very useful for telling me exactly what I need to do when. The book is well structured and very readable. As a bonus, it doesn't just deal with how User Stories are Applied, but also has a good writeup about why they work, which I think you'll find useful if you want to convince your boss to try out Agile practices.

The case study at the end ties everything together nicely, my only critisim being that it ends rather abruptly. For a more extensive case study, covering several iterations, and not just the planning stage, see Mike Cohn's other book, Agile Estimating and Planning (Robert C. Martin).

Good companion for the ISEB foundation exam in conjunction with the ISEB syllabus and an excellent overall reference guide. Pitched at pretty much the right level, aimed at getting you through the exam, without going into any unecessary detail.

If you're going to be taking the ISEB foundation exam, or just want a reference work on the basics of software testing then you can't go far wrong with this.

This book is a treasure. Not only does it explain Agile Development
clearly and entertainingly, but it is thoroughly grounded in how it pans
out in real organisations. It also covers several business and software
engineering issues which I didn't expect, such as unit testing
techniques and process improvement.

It is aimed at people who want to start using Extreme Programming on
their software development projects. It seems that XP is almost, but not
quite, synonymous with Agile Development. For each of its principles, we
learn the concept, what the outcome should be, how it might go wrong,
and where to read more. Sometimes there is a short FAQ section. If your
existing organisation can't incorporate ... Read More:

Scrum is easy to understand and hard to implement. You can read about the roles, artefacts and ceremonies on many websites however this isn't enough. You learn best by doing it and in this book Ken is giving us his experience so we don't make the same mistakes. Of course there are many more truths to be learnt but this book gives you an excellent start. A must have for anyone starting with Scrum!

Since this book focuses on people it does not matter that it is ancient in Internet time. It was short of revolutionary when it was published and it still remains as an extremly good and eyeopening book as to how get people to work well in teams. The book brings out good ideas with very real cases, it does not give you a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms which is not necessarly a shortcoming since the book is meant to present it's ideas from a pragmatic viewpoint.

I would recommend this book for anyone working within software development and it should be a must for team leaders and project managers together with the books Death March & Mythical Man Month.
