What trainers and managers say about our books
"I'm an instructor for complex I/S subjects like Web Programming, Methodologies, etc. I've seen many books and many courses, and your texts deliver the right information in the right order in a format that developers can easily follow and learn by. Understanding and productivity are objectives we must deliver to our clients, and you folks recognize the best methods for accomplishing that."
Jeff Selles, IS Instructor, American Family Insurance
"As a trainer, I look for books that communicate their content in an easily understood manner and that provide enough meat to answer people's questions. Your book fits the bill so well that I'm considering using it instead of the Microsoft Official Curriculum in the courses I teach."
Jeffrey K. Ross, Senior IT Learning Consultant, Louisville, Kentucky
"At long last, a Java book written with understandable text, ready-to-run code, and some of the best exercises in print! When used in a classroom, the material is seamless and the exercises work toward reinforcement."
Donna M. Dean, CTT, Senior Technical Instructor, The Chubb Institute
"Thank you for writing a book my employees can understand."
V. D., Operations Support Supervisor, San Francisco, California
"We finished teaching the VB.Net Power course for New York Power Authority. The instructor used your book and its Instructor's CD and gave them both high marks. We will definitely use them again."
Dave Shapiro, Owner, SYS-ED, New York City
"The way your books are laid out, with left and right pages giving detail and examples respectively, suits left-brain/right-brain activity learning. It is for this reason that the book forms an integral part of the learning process, providing reinforcement training as we sometimes call it."
J. D., MCP, IT Trainer/Developer/Consultant,
Leeds UK
"I work for local county government in Oklahoma. Our staff of mainframe programmers and now newbie VB.NET programmers have 'grown up' using your books. Thank you for providing us with manuals we can actually USE!"
Marcy Smith, Database & Security Manager, Tulsa County, Oklahoma
"I can't over recommend this book. I believe it's the only book a beginning Java servlet and JSP programmer will need…. Aside from its format and process, there is the spirit of the book. It is clear the authors care very much about whether their book will help the reader become conversant on the topic. They act as a technical sherpa and are never condescending."
Bruce Scott, Co-Founder of Oracle, Gupta Technologies, and PointBase
"I just completed teaching a programming course for a company last week, and from the critiques, your text was one of the major features the trainees liked."
D. K., Consultant, Clay, New York
"I have read many of the books put out by your company, and compared to other books written on the same subjects, I have found yours to be the best for both training and reference material."
J. R., Computer Consultant, Eagan, Minnesota
"In this day and age, when one simply hasn't time to struggle with concepts one must put immediately into real world, on-the-job action, it is pleasant indeed to have available such a book as yours, one that cuts to the heart of the matter and conveys information in a straightforward and direct manner, just as it is needed."
David Brianza, Director of IT Development, Denver, Colorado
"I have been searching for a practical book on helping me master VB.NET, and I have finally found it in your beginning book. I have 5 other VB.NET books that will now gather dust."
Gene A. Scruggs, Technical Support Manager, American College of Emergency Physicians, Irving, Texas
"I want to let you know that this is the best technical instruction book that I have ever used. It is the only text book that I have been able to willingly read, page by page. I would highly recommend it as a text for a course because of its easy-to-follow, step-by-step method. The exercises are great too. Thank you."
G. A., Quality Assurance Engineer, Lucent
Technologies
"The trainers who use your books are obviously very wise and understand the inherent problems with short-term technology training. It is also apparent that those people wish to convey the greatest amount of information to their students in the shortest amount of time possible. Furthermore, even if the teacher said nothing, simply taking your book home and working through it would be worth the price of admission.... If I ever decide to create a training company, your books are the only training materials I'd ever consider using."
Charles T. Blankenship. Director of Software Development, Florida
