VB .NET Language in a Nutshell
Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
With the launch of VB.NET, Visual Basic programmers need a concise reference documenting new and changed features. VB.NET Language in a Nutshelldoes the job.While there's a short overview of the VB.NET language and the VB.NET Framework included VB.NET Language in a Nutshell isn't intended as a guide for beginners, though it will prove useful as a reference alongside one of the many VB.NET tutorials currently in the works.
The heart of the book is the alphabetical listing of VB.NET's statements, procedures, functions and objects. These detail the syntax, the arguments accepted, the data type returned by functions and keyword differences from VB 6. Better yet, and in keeping with O'Reilly's high standards, rather than just rewrite Microsoft's technical notes the authors have tried them out, provided cross references to related keywords, details on usage and even point out any gotchas they've discovered along the way. The code examples demonstrating just how to employ many of the functions, methods and so on in your own code are especially welcome, especially where these differ from their usage under VB 6, though as always, you'll wish there were more.
Overall, a great early entrant into what will soon become a crowded market for VB.NET titles--and one you won't regret buying whatever else becomes available. This is highly recommended. --Steve Patient --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
Computer Networks, 5/e is appropriate for Computer Networking or Introduction to Networking courses at both the undergraduate and graduate level in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, CIS, MIS, and Business Departments.Tanenbaum takes a structured approach to explaining how networks work from the inside out. He starts with an explanation of the physical layer of networking, computer hardware and transmission systems; then works his way up to network applications. Tanenbaum's in-depth application coverage includes email; the domain name system; the World Wide Web (both client- and server-side); and multimedia (including voice over IP, Internet radio video on demand, video conferencing, and streaming media. Each chapter follows a consistent approach: Tanenbaum presents key principles, then illustrates them utilizing real-world example networks that run through the entire book—the Internet, and wireless networks, including Wireless LANs, broadband wireless and Bluetooth. The Fifth Edition includes a chapter devoted exclusively to network security. The textbook is supplemented by a Solutions Manual, as well as a Website containing PowerPoint slides, art in various forms, and other tools for instruction, including a protocol simulator whereby students can develop and test their own network protocols.
