Reviews
"My method of study i chose to read this textbook cover to cover, taking all practice tests at the end of each chapter, along with the included practice exams on the disc. In addition to this text i went further to find online practice exams and Professor Messer videos on Youtube as free self studying material. The book covered the objectives and even went beyond which is why this makes a great on-the-job reference."
"Most importantly, I was looking for a book that could not only keep me engaged yet also provide the necessary educational materials. Presently I'm over a hundred or so pages in (the book is Bible thick) and have purposely slowed myself down at times to ensure lesson absorption but honestly could read this book like it was a spellbinding work of fanciful fiction. It really helps to have an actual, honest interest in the subject matter and there are times where you'll want access to several different operating systems."
"I would suggest this book as the foundation to your self-study of A+ (then get Cram Exam). Don't let that stop you however, the book is the right one to get to ensure you have the foundation covered."
"the author does not drift off to complicated things when starting to learn the basics."
"After reviewing this content and doing tons of 3rd party practice quizzes I easily passed both the 901 and 902 test."
"While this was required material for my IT class, the writing is easy to follow and the information is clear."
"Pros: Packed with so much knowledge that I think Mike Meyers may be Thoth."
"this is an IT field essential."

Logic Pro X 10.1: Apple Pro Training Series: Professional Music Production
Completely revised and updated for Logic Pro v10.2, this Apple-certified guide shows you how to record, produce, and make music files that stand out with the Apple professional audio software. He engineered and produced three classical albums on Decca Records/BMG for the Bernard Calmel Orchestra in Paris, France; released tracks and remixes on Cleopatra Records; and, using Logic Pro, has programmed XF MIDI songs for Yamaha.
Reviews
"Didn't think twice when I bought this one, as I had good experience from the David's preceding book about Logic Pro 9. My worries were needless; the new book primarily focuses on all the new functionality provided with Pro X. If you don't wish to read 500 pages while doing your hands-on exercises, I would recommend to use video-based tutorial services like those provided by macProVideo.com instead."
"(Five stars when read with the PDF updates file). Well written and super easy to follow with many great illustrations and simple explanations of some pretty complex topics."
"you can still get the point of each lesson, but you might be lost some of the time trying to figure out what the book is referencing when the sounds in your project don't match what is being described."
"It gets into audio tracks, the use of the virtual Drummer feature, how to use the various elements of MIDI, the built in plug-ins and much more.Its pretty comprehensive and each chapter builds on the last."
"I have explored many resources in my ongoing quest to "master" Logic X software and I believe David Nahmani's books (I also used them for Logic 8 & 9) are not only the best way to get started if you're new to Logic X, but also a great way to continue learning/refreshing/perfecting all of the recording techniques, etc."
"The book is an excellent value and a great way to learn Logic Pro X."
"The author has created all of the errata to update the book, and there is a lot of updating, but I'm left wishing that there is a Logic Pro X 10.2 book instead."

iOS 11 Programming Fundamentals with Swift: Swift, Xcode, and Cocoa Basics
Move into iOS development by getting a firm grasp of its fundamentals, including the Xcode 9 IDE, Cocoa Touch, and the latest version of Apple’s acclaimed programming language, Swift 4. Matt Neuburg started programming computers in 1968, when he was 14 years old, as a member of a literally underground high school club, which met once a week to do time-sharing on a bank of PDP-10s by way of primitive Teletype machines.
Reviews
"Finally someone wrote an iOS programming book that isn't half useless space-wasting screenshots of dialogue boxes in Xcode!"
"This is my second week in Swift 4 and all of the questions I had about Cocoa and the general app architecture have all been resolved after spending hours skimming sites and videos trying to get a clear, high level picture."
"Of course I was learning, but a good book provides so much more! I like to be able to imagine, and although it may in my personal opinion it is slower to learn using a book in the sense that it takes time to make the connections, apply what you learned, and see the results; a good book as this one is, is always worth reading!"
"This book is super hard to read, not because of the content, but because the author makes it super boring."
"Most of the examples are "in my app I did this" without much context at all, it is hard to stay engaged as there are few examples that one could follow."

Reviews
"Now that I am finishing up the MBA program (final semester), I have started a consulting company using the exact methods out of this book that I learned in Dr. Winston's class. In other words, if you wanted to build a model to help a company maximize profit by determining which limited resources to put into play (labor, materials, $$) based on the revenue of each product, this book teaches you. So you get to learn a ton of the really cool functions in excel, how they work together in nested formulas, and how they could directly benefit a company/organization (just from one chapter). UPDATE 8/1/2015: I have recently spoken with Dr. Winston and he mentioned that he was in the process of putting his courses up online. I'm jealous because I just paid a ton of money to take his classes when I could have just watched his videos.I am only posting this here because some of the reviews said that they would like to see the videos if possible."
"I've bought almost every book there is on powerpivot and this is the best."
"I have used excel for very long time but this book just takes your excel skills to whole another level. The best thing about the book are the exercises. TIME COMMITMENT REQUIRED : Since this is "exercise driven" book, expect to spend few hours to few days ( yes, in a real world, you will be pulled into other things) every chapter and move to the next.I will not strictly call this book as a "reference" book since you need to know which formula or tool to use at which time without looking at a book. SUMMARY: If you work in an office, you need to know Excel .. Period and this book takes you to next level that 95% of your colleagues would not know."

Reviews
"I have run a Linux system for almost 15 years....got sick of the cost of Window and its upgrades, not to mention the unexplained crashes...and get along good with PCLinuxOS."
"So far, it is easy to read and you'll learn a world of commands for Linux."
"I read another review of this book by someone who said it helped their hacking skills and gave them a good understanding of how computers work."
"This book is recommended by the Linux Foundation (the group that employs Linus Torvalds) in the LFS101 Intro to Linux course materials as a helpful and accurate introduction to the Linux command line and as a reference."
"After digesting Ubuntu Made Easy (Rickford Grant with Phil Bull), and feeling pretty comfortable with my knowledge of Ubuntu's GUI, I decided to go nuts and dive into the command line."
"It's good ..."
"At the time, I couldn't find anything that looked like a solid introduction on how to use the command line effectively, so I ended up with a patch work of understanding from online sources. to anyone trying to figure out what the big deal about the command line is, or if they just want to extend their capabilities without trying to parse every manual page."
"An extremely good guide to the Linux command prompt."
