Books for self-instruction
All of our books have proven themselves effective for self-instruction time and again. In fact, the vast majority of our books are bought by professional programmers who want…or need…to learn a new subject fast. So if you keep a library of materials for individual programmers to use, please review our book list for any subjects you need.
Books with Instructor's CDs
Because we think our books are too good to be limited
to self-instruction alone, we offer Instructor's CDs
with materials that make it easier for you to use the books as part of a stand-up
or online course. To find out more about the courseware
for a specific book, just click on its link.

If you want to teach the JavaScript skills that web developers need, be sure to check out our JavaScript book. You can use it for a basic JavaScript course. You can use it for a DOM scripting course. You can combine the two in a single course. And this book is filled with complete, professional-level applications that your trainees can use as models for their own work when they're back on the job.

For server-side web development, we offer books on
PHP, Java, and ASP.NET. Our JSP and ASP.NET books can
follow any introductory text you want to use, but they're
tightly integrated with our core Java, C#, and Visual
Basic books (described below). So it's easy to use them
in tandem with the corresponding core books for a series
of programming courses. (There's no programming prerequisite
for using our PHP book. )

If you offer a course in HTML and CSS, our book has a practical focus we haven't found anywhere else. In fact, the first 6 chapters make up a crash course that covers more material than most full books do!
NEW! HTML5 and CSS3
Our core C# and VB books let you run courses that turn novices into developers who can produce database-driven Windows applications at the professional level. Likewise, our core C++ book enables you to teach Visual C++ to developers who want to add C++ to their skill set...whether they have previous .NET experience or not.

Trainers make heavy use of our core Java book because
it works for beginning programmers, OO programmers who
are adding Java to their skill set, and mainframe programmers
who are making the jump to Java. Pair it with our Servlets/JSP
book (described above) to teach web programming, and
you've got a solid approach to turning out professional
Java programmers.
NEW! Java Programming (an SE 7 book that uses NetBeans)
Java SE 6 (uses TextPad)
Our ADO.NET book covers the whole
range of database programming skills. In fact, you can
use the .NET 3.5 edition for: (1) a prototyping course that
covers RAD tools like data sources; (2) a 3-layer development
course that focuses on ADO.NET coding; (3) a LINQ course;
or (4) an introductory Entity Framework course. Or, for
maximum cost-effectiveness, use this one book for all
4 types of courses!

We also have SQL books that interface seamlessly
with each of our other .NET and Java books. So you can run a
SQL course for the platform you choose whenever it makes the most sense for
you.

In the 1980s and 1990s, we built our reputation on books for IBM mainframe programmers. In fact, IBM itself used our COBOL book for both employee and customer training! Today, mainframers tell us that our books are still the best training materials anywhere on the market.
