Why HTML and CSS "How To" Books Suck
Most HTML and CSS books end up on bookshelves collecting dust as reference books. The last thing we need in the web development world is another HTML or CSS dictionary. While we all need one or two good references on our desks, they are not very good tutors. While I can learn about every HTML tag and every CSS selector, most books are not inherently practical enough. I need to be able to construct the WHOLE not just the parts. It does not serve the reader well if they cannot connect all the pieces together in a very practical way.
While these referential texts do include practical components(I can learn how to construct a link or how to add an image), they are often divorced from the concept of building a website as a whole.
Here is what any HTML or CSS book should accomplish:
*speak in a language beginners understand
*begin with the idea of showing how a complete website is built. Build a vision for the reader, then lead them through it step by step.
*emphasize developing CSS layouts. This is the most challenging topic and requires time and practice for beginners to master.
*practice show and tell. Most books explain the concept then have users practice. Forget that. Get the reader in there doing it first. Explain why it works later.
If at the end of reading the book, a reader has not successfully designed their first website, then the book is a failure.
Goals for book authors:
*simplicity - beginners do not need to know the battles that go on within the CSS Standards working group.
*Do not explain every possibility. Save that stuff for the appendix or another advanced book.
*Practical thru and thru. A book of well written exercises serves better than lots of discourse.
How can a beginner evaluate a book?
*Look to see how much of the book is discourse versus exercises
*Does it focus on developing a complete website or does it just give you the pieces?

Customer Review: There's nothing like watching a 7-year old with a Webkinz
I recently got to spend some time with my 7-year old niece and watched her "wax lyrical" about how much she loves her Webkinz (she has three of them!). She took me over to the computer and showed me how the computer part works with the beagle Webkinz she named "Sam". I watched her zip around the computer playing all sorts of games to "make money" to pay for the food, clothes, and treats for her "pet".
The game teaches kids some of the responsibilities of having a pet (like making sure they get fed, taking them for a walk, spending time playing with them, etc.) while teaching computer skills at the same time. The carnival-like environment where they play games to make money for their pet is fun and provides enough variety to keep them coming back day after day.
I'd highly recommend Webkinz for any child who loves toy animals and wants to gain further experience on the computer.
Customer Review: Webkinz Beagle
I bought this for my daughter when I couldn't find one around our home town. So, I ordered it thru the internet and Amazon. It was one of her favourite gifts! Not only can she cuddle with him, but she goes on the Webkinz website and creates a room for her virtual pet, and plays educational games that will build up W-$ for her to buy things for her pet!! She really enjoys playing on the website and she sleeps with the beagle every night! I even went and bought a chocolate lab webkinz for my son who is 3. He and his sister have a good time playing on the website and carrying their pets wherever they go!

Customer Review: External Hard Drive
The Western Digital 2.0 GB external hard drive is great. It backs up my computer automatically every night with tons or room to spare to download music, movies, etc. I highly recommend this hard drive.
Customer Review: Ticking Time Bomb
I received this drive for Christmas. It lasted two and a half months of light use before failing inexplicably. Blinking front indicator light, but the drive won't spin up and no computer I connect it to will recognize it. The day before it worked fine. Tech support was unhelpful, and I'm loathe to exchange the unit for another from the manufacturer. The drive is sealed inside the plastic shell, making removal difficult. I would not use this drive for anything valuable, it's cheaply made and untrustworthy.
DEWALT HVAC Technician Certification Exam Guide (Dewalt Exam/Certification Series)
DEWALT HVAC Technician Certification Exam Guide (Dewalt Exam/Certification Series)
The DEWALT® HVAC Certification Exam Guide is the most complete and comprehensive HVAC technician certification book available. This new ?standard? for the climate control industry will help readers pass the NATE, ICE, RSES Certification, HVAC Excellence, and HVAC Technician Licensing Exams. Innovative coverage also makes this exam guide extremely useful for studying and preparing for the state limited energy license and HVAC contractor licenses.
Customer Review: A good start
This is a good book to start with to review for the NATE or other tests. It only has a limited number of questions though. I took the NATE Heat Pump test and passed with this books help, but it only had 50 sample questions for Heat Pump's and the NATE test had 100 questions. My suggestion is that there be more sample questions. I'd also like to see a reference for additional information if you don't understand a question. This book serves a purpose, but could be a better tool...
Customer Review: Industry Standard for the NATE exam
This book is absolutely the standard for the NATE Exam. Not only does it give you insight on the types of questions to study for, but it gives you information on how to beat the test writers at their own game. A very good read!
Halo, Books 1-3 (The Flood; First Strike; The Fall of Reach)
Halo, Books 1-3 (The Flood; First Strike; The Fall of Reach)
The official novels of the award-winning Xbox game! This set contains The Fall of Reach, First Strike, and The Flood -- the complete chronicles of the bloody Human-Covenant War on Halo.
The Fall of Reach
As the bloody Human-Covenant War rages on Halo, the fate of humankind may rest with one warrior, the lone SPARTAN survivor of another legendary battle . . . the desperate, take-no-prisoners struggle that led humanity to Halo--the fall of the planet Reach. Now, brought to life for the first time, here is the full story of that glorious, doomed conflict.
First Strike
The Human-Covenant war rages on as the alien juggernaut sweeps inexorably toward its final goal: destruction of all human life!
The Flood
The Human-Covenant War, a desperate struggle for humankind’s very survival, has reached its boiling point on the mysterious, ring world called Halo. But the fierce Covenant warriors, the mightiest alien military force known, are not the only peril lying in wait.

Customer Review: great backstory
These three books provide a really interesting back-story to Halo games. It really helps you appreciate the games all the more.
Customer Review: Captivating
Any anticipation of what this series offers should be thrown out the window. This group offers so much more than the games ever could. So many attachments to characters are developed throughout the series only to to be lost to a seemingly unwinable war. It would very much stand alone as a saga without ever having played the games in the sci-fi world, for young and old alike.
Subaru Legacy, 1990-1999: Includes Legacy Outback and Legacy Brighton (Haynes Manuals)
Subaru Legacy, 1990-1999: Includes Legacy Outback and Legacy Brighton (Haynes Manuals)
All Subaru Legacy models, including Legacy Outback and Legacy Brighton (90 - 98) Haynes offers the best coverage for cars, trucks, vans and SUVs in the market today. Each manual is written and photographed from "hands-on" experience gained by a complete teardown and rebuild of the vehicle. The first Haynes manual was written this way 40 years ago, and all the manuals continue to be produced this way, making Haynes the world leader in automotive repair information.
Customer Review: Beginner handbook
I have not done as much work as I might have liked, so I have opened the book relatively little. In what little I have used it, it has been more reassuring than helpful--for instance, the book confirmed that the rear hatch lifter supports come without the entire ball-joint assembly, and that there is little one can do about this. Not really helpful, but reassuring for someone who wonders what is going on.
I consider the book satisfactory for its purposes, and I am glad I own it.
Customer Review: Haynes manuals explain best!
In my opinion, short of an actual manufacturer's shop manual, you can't beat a Haynes book for completeness. And, given that they are written for the non-professional, in some ways they are far superior. Based on complete engine tear-down and rebuild, and covering standard repairs and maintainence, I never buy anything else.
If you are even reasonably handy, like to save money on basic (or even complex) repairs, this is the book for you.

Customer Review: Expensive but industructable
I have had one of these notebooks for 4 years and in that time it has had water spilled on it umpteen times, crushed, bent, thrown, etc and I think I have lost only 1 page.

Customer Review: A Must Own Collection
These films are no doubt part of American Cinema at it's best!
I grew up watching these movies and even today when I sit back and watch them, I appreciate them even more as if it's my first time tunning in.
The locations, the acting, the screenplay all work perfectly. I don't think there are words left to describe how amazing this collection is on DVD.
I heard George Lucas is set to release these films on it's own soon, but why bother? Why spend your money on the same thing, even if your going to get some new bonus features. It's not like your getting a brand new movie.
I would recommend to wait until the 4th installment hits DVD shelves, then maybe it would be worth a purchase if it gets released into the box set. Till then...this collection is timeless!
Customer Review: captions
At least on the set I'm watching, the captions on the extra disc are attempted but are NOT well done. It's apparent that they haven't been "cleaned up," so understanding can be iffy. I appreciate the effort, but it would be nice if the execution were better.

Customer Review: You will look at everything in a whole new way.
Absolutely astonishing. When I purchase something I always look at the negative reviews and ask myself if it seems better than that. This is. This is not blood and gore. It is beauty and grace. You will see some things you have seen before in a whole new way. Don't let the negatives steer you away, even though some animals die in the making of this film. IT IS NATURE. DO YOU WANT THE WOLF TO STARVE AND D I E!
Customer Review: If you liked "March of the Penguins"...
see what a real cutting-edge nature documentary has to offer. Stunning. Educational. Not to be missed.
