'The Book of PF' -- absolutely the newest OpenBSD book available

04/10/2008  
Relevance: 7.35
Never mind that what I really need is an up-to-date"Absolutely OpenBSD," but since I'm in an I'll-take-what-I-can-get mood, I just secured a copy of"The Book of PF: A No-Nonsense Guide to the OpenBSD Firewall," which for all practical purposes is the most up-to-date book out there that has at least some focus on OpenBSD. In this book by Peter N.M. Hansteen, I hope to get somewhat up to speed on PF, the packet filter that originated in OpenBSD but which now is available in the other BSDs as well -- though not in Linux.

Security Power Tools

This book has almost as many authors as it does pages. This tells me that O'Reilly tapped into a rather large pool of talent in order to get this book written and out to the public. Something re-enforced by the blurb at the back of the book,"What if you could sit down with some of the most talented security engineers in the world and ask any network security question you wanted?" This book is supposed to be the print equivalent of doing just that (not that the book talks back, as such). 23 cross-referenced chapters produced by an impressive group of authors, editors, and technical reviewers with very interesting bios is a lot to absorb and it should be. I expect this book to include everything security-related, kitchen sink and all.

Book Review : Moving to Ubuntu Linux

Relevance: 7.11
This is the fourth book by Gagné I've reviewed over the past half-dozen years. Though I've found things to carp at in each of them, each one was a first-rate book. Here's another.

JavaScript: The Missing Manual

09/22/2008  
Relevance: 7.09
This review has been a long time coming...mainly because I've been having such a good time with this book. That said, the title is a bit misleading. It's not really"The book that should have been in the box" (even if JavaScript came in a box) since a"box of generic JavaScript" wouldn't have come with half of what this book contains. In fact, I'm not really sure the reader will come away with a solid foundation in JavaScript after reading McFarland's book. Let me explain.

Book Review: Designing with Web Standards (2nd Edition)

11/21/2006  
Relevance: 6.93
From the author's first paragraph in Before You Begin:"This book is for designers, developers, owners, and managers who want their sites to cost less, work better, and reach more people - not only in today's browsers, screen readers, and wireless devices, but in tomorrow's, next year's, and beyond..." Notice Zeldman didn't say the book is for people who want to build their first website and need to learn html, css, xml, and javascrpt. Please keep that in mind before considering buying this book.

Review: VMware ESX Server in the Enterprise

Skip the table of contents unless you want to go blind. Sorry, it's just the formatting of the TOC seems to run all the chapters and topics together and at least in my case, makes me work extra hard to get my visual markers and make sense of the content. I had a much better time in the"How is this Book Organized" section, though it didn't let me take in the different topics in the book at a glance. This is how I first approach a book to try and understand in brief, what's inside and if I'm interested. So far, if I'd come across this book in a bookstore or library, I might have passed it by. That would have been a mistake on my part.

Review: Preventing Web Attacks with Apache

03/13/2008  
Relevance: 6.88
I've been studying Apache security lately and ran across a very good book on it written by Ryan Barnett called"Preventing Web Attacks with Apache". I am really impressed with this book that was published in 2006. Barnett covers things that I didn't even know existed in Apache before I started reading this. I have the O'Rielly book"Apache Security" and have to say that this book so far outstrips the O'Rielly book that it isn't even funny. To be fair"Apache Security" doesn't cover much to do with web application security, and the Barnett book covers it in depth.

JavaScript: The Good Parts

06/24/2008  
Relevance: 6.80
Finally, a JavaScript book not for beginners and one that says so upfront! How refreshing. I was a little doubtful when I first read the back cover, but then reassured when part of the Preface said,"This is not a book for beginners...This is not a book for dummies...This book is small, but it is dense". Actually, I was wondering how a book less than 200 pages was going to present JavaScript, if it was indeed written for beginners. To nail down the target audience a little more, I'll continue to quote,"It is intended for programmers who...are venturing into JavaScript for the first time. It is also intended for programmers who have been working with JavaScript at a novice level and are now ready for a more sophisticated relationship..."

Review Redux: The Book of JavaScript

02/03/2007  
Relevance: 6.73
My review of this book recently appeared in Linux Magazine. I wrote that review a month or more ago and since then, have been perusing Dave Thau's book in a lot more detail. I still really like the book and I think it's a good way to learn JavaScript, but I've discovered the flaws.
