Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.72
The book is very good for me as a beginner and want to master VBScript , each chapter of the 21 chapters is centric , heavy organized and easy to digest material with alot of short code examples , tutorials and figures , and the book end with 10 appendices covering the book in a nutshell and act as a reference , what interested my in the book is Sidebar and gadgets programming , task schedular scripting , powershell scripting using VBS , window script host for windows administration like copying and moving files and creating folders and making reports and automated task handling and HTA scripting , before reading the books i did not know that VBScript can do all that .

3.Beginning SQL (Programmer to Programmer) by: Paul Wilton, John Colby March 04, 2005

I really like this book. It is broken into two sections. Chapter 1-3 is a once-over-lightly overview of all the key concepts involved in SQL. The rest is a thorough and detailed guide to more advanced uses. The SQL is generic, though the book has specific exceptions for MySQL, Access, SQL Server and Oracle. These are mostly unobtrusive and can be skimmed easily. It is moderately useful to see what exceptions exist and why, even if you have no intention of using those DBMS's. Unlike books like SQL in a Nutshell, these references don't create constant interruptions in the reading flow. What I like most about this book is that each subject is given a complete discussion, with ERD, SQL commands, and example data. In most cases, there is more than one example of ... Read More

4.ASP.NET 2.0 Instant Results (Programmer to Programmer) by: Imar Spaanjaars, Paul Wilton, Shawn Livermore March 24, 2006

It ain't instant results, buddy. It is quick-and-DIRTY results, as the book presents a lot of bad designs. Where is the multi-tier design? Some chapters in the book show how to put those SQL queries right in aspx pages where only user interface code should be in. Some chapters show how to spit datasets out of business logics. Well it is quick, but should you want to expand or fix things, you would have to redesign and code all over again. Trust me I used to do the quick and dirty works many times and got burnt with broken websites. Parameterized sql query and stored procedure are so little talked about. These allow you to avoid SQL injection attacks 100% even you don't validate user inputs! (but you should). Consideration of performance gains and hits of their designs are not ... Read More

5.Beginning JavaScript Second Edition by: Paul Wilton May 07, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.55
Extremely huge book. Great for a blank introduction to the language. Very extremely thorough. Not so much of a quick reference book, but great for learning the basic and advanced commands of JavaScript. It is so big I've had it for a while and still have not finished reading it.. You create a JavaScript quiz throughout the book that tells you how many you got wrong and your score. Great introduction book, it does have advanced stuff at the end of it.

7.Professional JavaScript 2nd Edition by: Nigel McFarlane, Paul Wilton, Cliff Wooton, et al 2001-10
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.52
I have version 2 of the book and it is fantastic! Seems each of the experts wrote about his/her field and the result is very in-depth study. The book's coding is still actual though it dealt with IE 4 and 5. What I want is to find version 3 that deals deal the more current IE 6 release - but they probably never published it.

8.Visual Basic .NET Text Manipulation Handbook: String Handling and Regular Expressions by: Paul Wilton, Craig McQueen, François Liger 2002-06
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.35
This is a very wordy book for a topic that should probably have a more reference style coverage. It focuses a little bit on how to use the matching functions in .net, and a little bit on how to use regular expressions. The .net stuff is really easy to get on your own, and the regular expressions stuff is so glossy that its not that useful. I don't like having this book on my shelf since I can never find anything useful at a glance, but its not worth anything to sell. Maybe I'll burn it.

9.Beginning Web Development With Visual Interdev 6.0 (Beginning) by: Andrew Mumford, Mike Cai, John Duckett, Paul Wilton 1999-11
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
This book may be fine for producing working web-pages, but it's pretty awful in these days of cross-browser applications. Furthermore, the introduction of XHTML 1.0 renders almost all the code listings pretty worthless, unless you're familiar with the new standards and how to amend what's already there. As for bad habits, this book supplies them all in spades: 1) HTML pages with no attribute. 2) HTML header tags with no namespace defines. 3) No explanation of DTDs or why pages these days at least follow the minimum necessary guidelines. 4) Unlosed tags. 5) attributes not quoted as string literals - and the book actually recommends this practise and many many more. The actual VBScript/ASP section is relatively okay, but the author needs to pay more attention ... Read More

10.C# Text Manipulation Handbook by: Francois Liger, Craig McQueen, Paul Wilton 2002-11
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $50.98
if you ever wanted to learn about regular expression and string manipulation, but didn't want spend alot of time for it. This is the book for you. The book is somewhat concise which makes it as an easy reference. This can be worrying for the beginner beginner in .net but if this is not your first book on .net it is a very good resource. This book gets the job done.
