Customer reviews Pretty Good Introduction by .. D. Comer (Albuquerque, NM)
I found this book to be a great refresher. That is, having written Java in the past, writing mainly C# in the last 8 years, I needed to update my knowledge of Java since Java 1.2. The authors(s) do a good job of keeping the material from becoming too dry. Many programming books start with too much theory before diving into practical code. This book starts with a quick tutorial on two programming tools, TextPad and Eclipse, and does a good job explaining enough of both tools to get you started. The reason for two tools is that if you are new to a complex IDE environment, the author(s) introduce a text centric tool (TextPad) and a more advanced GUI based tool (Eclipse).
As one reviewer noted, it is best to think of this book as one, larger book (paraphrasing). The author states that the book is not intended to be read cover-to-cover yet I found reading cover-to-cover was better for me. The material starts with the simple, "Hello World" style examples covering editing, compiling, and running code. Simple examples are interspersed with Java requirements for file naming, class structure, running examples, data types, if-then-else, loops, switch, exceptions and other introductory concepts.. Following books/chapters cover object oriented programming, more formal class structure, subclasses, inheritance, interfaces, inner classes, packaging ad documenting classes, String, Array, and collections, thread programming, network programming, regular expressions, recursion Swing (Java's GUI API), We programming files and databases, XML operations, and applications with drawing and animation.
Jammed packed as this book is with nearly all basic concepts a beginning to intermediate Java programmer needs to know, the material is intended to get you started and only scratches the surface of what a professional Java programmer will acquire with time. In my opinion, there is a good balance of material with a decent writing style. I knocked one star off the review, however, because there are some rather obvious blunders in the book. To my knowledge, there are no errata posted for the book, so it may take you about one star's worth of head scratching to get around those blunders. Fortunately, this is the exception (no pun intended) and not the rule.
BrainSponge  by .. Stephen Britt ()
This book is "very" helpful. I am preparing for my masters in IT and it has helped me to prepare for some of the more challenging Java programs.
Horrible  by .. Josten D. Moore (Detroit, MI USA)
9 books in 1... All it really is is the good books that you should have stripped and thrown into one book and haphazardly executed. This book was an utter waste of $30 I spent on it. I do not recommend this book at all you won't really learn anything out of it. If you really want to learn Java go pick up the "Think In Java 4/e" by Bruce Eckel. I'll state it again this book is poorly executed and DEFINITELY is NOT made for a reference...
Buy it, Buy it, Buy it by .. Joe Johnson (Nation of Joe)
By far the best intro to Java I have ever encountered, detailed explanations of java programming concepts, followed by example code. Written in the tongue-in-cheek humor typical of Dummies books, even after becoming a highly experienced java programmer, you'll always keep this book within an arm's length of your computer.
don't waste your time by .. Krystina A. Patch (florida)
when i took c programming, i tried the all in one desk reference for c. it was a godsend. so when i took java a semester later, i eagerly bought this book hoping it would work the same miracles. it did not. it doesn't focus so much on the OOP aspects of java, and frankly is very confusing. i was quite dissapointed.
i tried two other java books after that, and finally got it right on the second try. 'head first java' is the holy grail of java books. don't waste your time, or money.. just get 'head first java' and thank me later :)

This book is great. All I expected and more. Price was more than reasonable.
wealth of photography information by .. Bill Coleman ()
This is a very thick book. But it is a wealth of information on digital photography. You can use it as a reference or read the entire book. Most books you get on photography are outdated, and have not got much information on Digital Photography. this an up to date one.
Disappointing by .. Michael J. Snyder (San Antonio, Texas)
I found this book particularly annoying in part because it continually suggests the reader can learn MORE about a given topic of interest by buying another book by the author. It blows off Mac and I found it a waste of money.
"Aim" is off  by .. Allan B. Stevenson (fairfield, CA)
The book is filled with info, but it "focuses" on the digital SLR, rather than the point and shoot. There should have been a warning in the description. It's still useful.
Digital Photography for Dummies by .. Beverly Bechtel ()
This book is huge and covers most anything one can think of on this topic. I bought it for my husband who has recently acquired a digital camera. He hasn't begun to even scratch the surface but has already found it helpful and knows it will as he tries new things.

Customer reviews Ok for Beginners  by .. Tracy L. Needham (Raleigh, NC)
I actually returned this book, which I don't do often. I was hoping it would be more like Office 2003 Timesaving Techniques for Dummies, which doesn't seem to have a 2007 version yet, but was very basic. And it doesn't address Business Contact Manager at All.
Granted, it's trying to cover a lot of ground in one book. But if you're pretty proficient with Office programs, you may not learn much. It would have been more useful if it at least had a section that discusses all the changes between the 2 versions.
Office 2007 8 in 1 by .. Christopher K. Boggs (Texas)
As all the Dummy books it is well written, supplies a large amount of infromation in a simple no nonsense form.
office 2007 for dummies by .. Cheryl Ingram (LA)
The product has very basic information. I purchased the book to find out how to do many things within Office Outlook and the information was simply not there. I was looking to learn how to manage and update my "Archive Folder" it didn't have the information available. Disappointing based upon the cost.
Office 2007 All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies by .. Dennis Mcfarland (Winslow, AZ United States)
AWESOME BOOK I couldn't have found a better one. Easy to read and great instructions.
Dennis aka drdenny
Excellent Beginner Book by .. A. Decker (Vancouver, Washington United States)
Readable, useful, humorous. I knew Word and Excel 2003 and needed to upgrade those to 2007 and learn Access and Outlook from start. This book would get you from no knowledge to being able to use the four programs I read about. It doesn't cover advanced topics - how to duplicate Access entries and make changes in the duplicate, for example - but you'll be ready to understand a more advanced guide.

Product Description Curious about Linux, the amazing alternative operating system? Not sure which of the zillion different variations is right for you, or how to find out? How wise you are to think of Linux All-In-One Desk Reference For Dummies! Because Linux offers so many options, this book helps you narrow them down by giving you five popular Linux distributions on a DVD— Debian GNU/Linux, Fedora, openSUSE Linux, Ubuntu, and Xandros. You get everything you need to test-drive all five, including the instructions to install and use any of them. But that’s just the beginning! Linux All-In-One Desk Reference For Dummies includes eight individual minibooks, each devoted to a specific aspect of Linux: - Linux Basics
- Linux Desktops
- Networking
- Internet
- Administration
- Security
- Internet Servers
- Programming
You’ll find out how to: - Understand the Linux kernel

- Manage system and network security and administration
- Work with the OpenOffice.org productivity tools and other applications that come with Linux
So what are you waiting for? Linux All-In-One Desk Reference For Dummies is like having a guided tour of the wonderful world of Linux! Customer reviews Very thorough! by .. Christine Hall ()
I had tried Linux previously and found the online assistance that I could find to be limited and like "finding a needle in a haystack". There are so many distributions of Linux available! Having a handy reference that is comprehensive in nature and specifically addresses the questions I had, made upgrading and tossing my Microsoft monster easy.
Now that I have been using my copy for a while, I even found the courage to upgrade my system from the core model available with this text to a newer version of Fedora. The transition was smooth and easy. Many of the questions I had about the basic operation of Fedora (provided with the book) were still applicable.
If you want to upgrade to Linux and are afraid to jump into it wholeheartedly, this Dummies guide makes it very easy to get your feet wet before committing to the swim!
Give it a Look. by .. Rande D. Schulze (Somewhere... in Idaho.)
I'm a Noob when it comes to code and config issues.
I'm currently using this as a companion for "Beginning Ubuntu Linux".
I havn't had much chance to make use of some of the more advanced sections, like programming. No book can cover 100% of every issue. "Linux for Dummies" comes darn close. Plus these folk do so in a "Soldier-Proof" format to keep you from being your own worst Complication.
This is a GREAT start for linux newbies by .. J Ken Kuzenski (Raleigh, NC USA)
I needed to learn the basics of Linux quickly. Bought this book (at a local store, didn't have time to order from Amazon), and had Linux installed and running VERY quickly. I've only scratched the surface of the book, but so far it's done a great job of telling me everything I needed to know and answering all my questions, quickly and easily. The DVD is exceedingly simple to use, and contains more than "all you'll need"--tons of material. You can install a number of different Linux distributions from the DVD (I like Fedora), and installing Fedora on an unformatted hard drive (my desktop PC) AND installing Fedora in a dual-boot setup on a WinXP machine (my laptop) was easy. Naba's book and DVD are a fantastic introduction to Linux.
First-class starter for Linux newbies by .. Lawrence (Tokyo, Japan)
Clear and well-organised dissection of Linux in its various flavours. Although it leans to GUI usage more than many Linux books, it does not shy away from the command-line approach, which it does in an entirely unintimidating way - in fact, it made it quite enjoyabe.
Included is a CD with several Linux 'distros' and tools, which is all you need to get up-and-running with Linux. A true time-saver for the uninitiated wishing to evaluate the remarkable potential of Linux.
Rating skewed by author writing own review by .. D. Sharp (East Hartford, CT United States)
I have to doubt the integrity of the author and the rating system when the author wrote his/her own review of the book here. Amazon should remove it, customers using the book are the ones that should be writing reviews, not the author!

Windows Vista All in Desk for Dummies by .. Julia A. Martin ()
Received book on time paged through it a few times lots of good info been too busy to actually use it sure I will though
Lots of chatter, but neglects too many nuts and bolts. by .. From middle America. (Northern California)
I took an afternoon and went through this book from cover to cover - admittedly not all topics drew my careful attention. Too many operational details are missing: hit this key, then go to x and enter ..... etc. In sum, although my system is up and running (and was before I bought the book), I am missing instruction on many basic operations.
Try somewhere else.
WINDOWS VISTA by .. AEF (OHIO)
Windows Vista For Dummies
I have read alot of these books and find this one actually more complicated than the rest. Vista is fairly new anyway!. I bought the TEACH YOURSELF VISUALLY / MICROSOFT WINDOWS VISTA after this book and found it to be a much better learning tool than this one. I prefer visuals anyway and will probably not buy anymore dummy books without visuals. I think most of them are text anyway, so unless they change some of the future content to visual, they can keep the rest. I wish I had saved my money on this one.
Great book by .. Ammon Morgan III (Philly, PA USA)
This is a great book for people who do not understand vista and it's complicated GUI. This was great i got it for my grandparents and now they are asking me about things i have no idea about, and I'm a CIS major. Great book really suggest it

Product Description There are almost as many programming languages these days as there are dialects at a Washington cocktail party. Among them all, however, C++ remains a favorite, especially for beginners. C++ is fast, powerful, fully compiled, and portable.

And if you’re already experienced with C++, you probably know a well-organized reference guide makes a programmer’s life a lot easier. C++ All-In-One Desk Reference For Dummies is a guide that grows with you. It’s organized into seven convenient minibooks, each devoted to a particular aspect of C++. So whether you’re a beginner just learning the lingo, or a veteran who wants to find out how to write a Web service in C++ .NET by using the Managed Extension to C++ (and who actually knows what that means!) you can find the answers quickly and easily. If you’re about to venture into C++ programming for the first time, Minibook I begins at the beginning and covers all the basic stuff you need to know. You’ll be ready to join the big kids when you reach the subsequent minibooks, which cover - Understanding objects and classes, including UML and design patterns
- Fixing problems, debugging your code, and choosing a good debugger
- Advanced C++ programming
- Reading and writing files, with coverage of stream programming

No matter how accomplished a C++ programmer you are – or aren’t – there will always be times when you need a reference guide. C++ All-In-One Desk Reference For Dummies gets you started with C++ programming, takes you as far as you want to go, and makes it easy to find out more whenever you want. Customer reviews First program does not run! by .. S. Stone ()
I just bought this book and now realize I should have paid more attention to the copyright date (2003)! I tried running the very first program and it does not work. The compiler log refers to programs or directories missing? I installed all of the files from the CD that came with the book as instructed. Being completely new to C++, I have no idea how to fix this problem! Anyone else experience this?
Good C++ book. covers many topics by .. dan ()
This book is a great book for begginers as it teaches many of the begginer topics. I think he writes easy to understand language and teaches you well. If you are just begging programming i highly recommend this book although a 2nd edition is going to be needed soon as some of the software may be getting dated. anyways excellect book i recommend it for new comers. ( also note i code as a hobby so im no expert)
First few programs are Windows-specific - fails on a Mac by .. Schnacka ()
The very first program in this book fails in XCode on OS X for it uses a Windows-specific subroutine: system("PAUSE"); will not work on a Mac since this subroutine does not adhere to ANSI C++. The worst part is that the routine is being used in several other programs in the book. If you're thinking of learning C++ on a Mac, this is not your book. I don't understand how the author can claim the book teaches ANSI C++ when its first few programs clearly show it doesn't.
Don't be misled by .. afa ()
The Title of this book is "C++ All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies".
However after reading this book it is quite obviously aimed at users of Microsoft products on Microsft systems. C++ is a multi-system language and any book calling itself a "C++ All-in-One Desk Reference" should be demonstrating the language in a pure form, such as the excellent "C All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies" book by Dan Gookin.
This book either needs to be rewritten to accurately reflect the title or the title needs to be changed to accurately reflect the content, maybe "C++ on Microsoft All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies".
If you need to learn C++ in a pure form then find another title.
Book has lots of topics, but it is not organized and written well. by .. R. Mehta ()
In the first section, I found TOO MANY geeky jokes and I found that very annoying. I know I read Sams teach yourself C++ in 21 days a few years back, and I felt at that time I got a pretty decent understanding. Now, even though I'm just trying to refresh my memory on C++, I feel the book does not do a good job of teaching me...
That said, I like that the book has lots of topics, if I get only a general idea of stuff.
I would recommend, though, to check out other books and get a glance through this book to see if you can follow it before buying this one...

PRO: quick referencing at your fingertips, tangible, no electricity required! thorough table of contents and index.
CON: it's heavy, the title is embarrassing,
Despite the title of this book, the `Dummies' part, it is an extremely useful reference book for long-term users of Apple computers as well as the newbie and / or PC converts. This reverence book takes the reader through the Mac basics it a very friendly, readable way. I've been working with Macs for 20 years, since the early 80s when they were first made available and I thought I knew my Apple product. But we must remember that the geniuses as Apple continue to tinker with and improve upon the software of the product as well as the hardware. Therefore, there are always new things to learn, new short cuts, new tips, etc. The world of Apple computing is as organic as an organization and it's products can get.
Apple niche is the ease at which these computers handle the media world. So one big advantage this reference book has over others; ie, Using Mac OS X Leopard.doc, is that it also covers the use of the basic applications that come as standard with every Apple computer. The publishers actually claim that there are 7 mini-books within this one reference that cover Mac basics; working with photos, movies, and music; using the Internet; working with iLife and iWork applications; various other Mac programs; time-saving tips; and networking.
Oh my gosh, if you have the time and the inclination, the detail in which this book goes into telling the reader the pros and cons of one of these basic applications, just when, where and the how of using them as well is a breath of fresh air. I have learned more tidbits just thumbing through the pages. It's not only amazing, it's fun; it's refreshing; and it is addictive. Actually knowing the ins, outs and short cuts is what turns an interested buyer of an Apple computer into an enthusiastic fanatics. And believe me, Mac addicts are known for their devotion to the machine. It's the programmers who keep us hooked!
To be able to take advantage of all the bells and whistles for which Apple computers have become known, you need to know them. This reference book also works as a guide for these, offering useful "Tip" on just about every page. You will find this book is not only well written but also well illustrated.
The purpose of a reference book is to have it readily available when that one question arises for which a physical book is invaluable, especially if that question covers something to do with your inoperable computer! I know that I refer to this book fairly consistently and certainly over and over again and again.

Good comprehensive starting point for the prospective eBay-er by .. Michael K. Smith (Gonzales, Louisiana)
This author is one of the current gurus in the area of making a ton by selling stuff on eBay. I've been registered there for almost a decade myself, buying books and stamps at first, and then selling them. I was never out to amass a fortune, the way Collier and so many others seems to be, but I've made a slow and steady income and I've been happy with that. Since I taught myself how to do all that stuff back when eBay was still a relatively site, I've never felt the need of a how-to book, but a colleague recommended this one so I decided to take a look at it. Not bad, not bad at all. While enthusiastic (because it's required by the publisher of this series), Collier manages not to get carried away too often. For instance, she will suggest good online business practices, then confess that she seldom follows this one or that one herself. I didn't find anything I didn't already know in the "Basics" section (which was kind of a relief), but she has some interesting things to say about researching goods on the Web, whether you're buying or selling, and some subtle points about the way PayPal works which I hadn't really thought about, and so on. The author also has a strong background in marketing and sales and what she has a number of thoughtful things to say regarding the application of that experience to eBay, things that us humanities majors have never had to learn. So, while I won't follow her advice on using QuickBooks, and I don't expect to open an eBay Store, I certainly put a lot of bookmarks in this fat volume for future reference and rereading.
