Here is the list books I have bought. As time permits I will add reviews and ratings for them. I hope you will find this list and the reviews useful.

Clicking on book titles highlighted in green will take you to the publisher's description of the book. Similarly, clicking on publishers highlighted in green will take you to the publisher's home page.

The CD icon indicates that the book comes with a companion CD, containing source code, examples, applications, etc... related to the content of the book.

The Firefox icon indicates that the book's publisher provides a web site for the book containing source code, examples, applications, etc...

The stars indicate how useful I found the book. Clicking on the icon will take you to my review of the book.

The rating scale is,
no stars Very poor value for money when comparing the depth of detail with the cost.
1 star An introduction to the subject, but not in an "easy to read" format. Another introductory book would be required to obtain an adequate foundation.
2 stars An easy to understand introduction to the subject. However, another book would be required to obtain an in-depth knowledge of the subject.
3 stars A detailed review of the subject, (e.g. code examples, sample forms...). However, it's not perfect. Depending on the subject matter, it could be written in a different format, enabling rapid retrieval of information; or if a language guide, the examples might be poorly laid out, or too simplistic, etc...
4 stars A well written, detailed review of the subject. Always in use!
