Fractals Everywhere

Michael F. Barnsley

The most intelligent and usefull book on fractals

[The publication date of] 1994 is a long ways off computerwise. There are still a lot of really good general concepts andWindows specific information, but you can tell some things a bit more 'today-ish' haven't been addressed. There were a lot of things, like how to ...

Joe Celko's SQL for Smarties: Advanced SQL Programming (The Morgan Kaufmann series in data management systems)

Joe Celko

Morgan Kaufmann Pub, 1995

Great Book, Terrible Typesetting
As a DBA, I use this book often. It's been helpful and I recommend it to others. My issue with this book is not its content, it's the terrible typesetting throughout. The text is the raggedest of ragged right, sample SQL code wraps in odd places, diagrams are sloppy ...

Terrific in depth explanation of advanced C++ techniques
