The Powershell Bible
This is the only Powershell book you will ever need - until 2.0 comes out anyhow. Even then, this book builds the groundwork for using Powershell to automate all types of tasks and will be usable far into the future. I've used it to write a couple of Powershell ...

Wicket in Action (In Action)

Martijn Dashorst, Eelco Hillenius

Manning Publications, 2008

Great Book!
This is a great book that really gives a in-depth overview of Wicket. I've been working with Wicket for a couple of years and had to suffer through figuring things out from examples and mailing lists. This book is the definitive guide. I've already learned several new ...

LINQ in Action

Fabrice Marguerie, Steve Eichert, ...

Manning Publications, 2008

A required desktop reference
I think the expression is "don't cry over spilled milk...", well when my son spilled milk on this book I almost cried. Why would you cry over a book you ask? There are many reasons. Not only does the book go into LINQ in depth (I know there is a C# in Depth book) but ...

Spring in Action

Craig Walls, Ryan Breidenbach

Manning Publications, 2007

Exactly What You Would Expect
This book is exactly what you would expect from the In Action Series. The book is thorough and comprehensive. I even thought it had a slightly more personal writing style than some other In Action books.

C# in Depth: What you need to master C# 2 and 3

Jon Skeet

Manning Publications, 2008

Interesting text
Still haven't gotten a chance to really use it yet, but it does appear well written, and in a tone meant for programmers like myself that need to know more about updates to the C# language.

Struts 2 in Action (In Action)

Don Brown, Chad Davis, ...

Manning Publications, 2008

Great starter book for Struts 2
I took a chance and pre-ordered this book because I have recently started a Struts2 project and wanted to learn more about the framework. The book did not disappoint. The authors explained the concepts behind the framework clearly and used examples that were ...

Seam in Action

Dan Allen

Manning Publications, 2008

Excellent resource for JBoss Seam!
Not too many months ago, I was evaluating a number of Java frameworks for a project I was starting. One of those frameworks was JBoss Seam. Seam brings together J2EE technologies such as Enterprise Java Beans 3.0, Java Server Faces, POJOs, and a wealth of rich web ...

ASP.NET AJAX in Action

Alessandro Gallo, David Barkol, ...

Manning Publications, 2007

MUST GET - If you want to get under the covers
Ok for me its a must have book. Why because I want to know all about what the micrsoft javascipt injection is actually doing, how I debug applications with it, how I make it leaner (versa using CSSQuery,JQuery and MooTools), how I wire up events and become articulate ...

Java Persistence with Hibernate

Christian Bauer, Gavin King

Manning Publications, 2006

Be prepared for some heavy reading
Its long since I wrote a review and as I am reading this book, I felt an immediate need to write one. This book is definitely the bible for hibernate, no doubt about it. But the way its written... hibernate and jpa, annotations and xml and everything clubbed together ...

jQuery in Action

Bear Bibeault, Yehuda Katz

Manning Publications, 2008

Thank you.
I am not a big fan of JavaScript. This book is pretty much perfect for programmers that need to use JavaScript but have not weathered in the trenches with the language. If you have weathered in the trenches, I suspect this book will make your programming that much ...

iText in Action: Creating and Manipulating PDF

Bruno Lowagie

Manning Publications, 2006

Excellent book on a great open source software project...
I've always figured that there should be some way to create PDF files without the manual effort of any 3rd party software client. Now I find out there is a way, and it's rather exciting... iText In Action by Bruno Lowagie covers the iText open source software ...

GWT in Practice

Robert Cooper, Charlie Collins

Manning Publications, 2008

A great book on software development as well as GWT
For starters: I am one of the pilot developers in my company (a large Fortune 100 Financial Institution) doing GWT development. We are about to release our first product to the business. So I've spent the last 18 months or so learning and beating my way through GWT. ...

wxPython in Action

Noel Rappin, Robin Dunn

Manning Publications, 2006

wxPython In Action
Simply awesome. Awesome cubed: (i) wxWidgets is a wonderful thing - a cross-platform windowing toolkit that uses native widgets to give extremely pretty cross-platform GUI applications. (ii) wxPython is a fabulous implementation of wxWidgets in Python, taking ...

Ant in Action (Manning)

Steve Loughran, Erik Hatcher

Manning Publications, 2007

More than just Ant
A 500+ page book about a build tool. I guess your initial reaction might be the same as mine. Why would we need so much pages to describe a build tool. Well, after reading "Ant in Action" I concluded, it doesn't need. The book just described much more than just ...
