Review:
On the inside front cover, in bold print, this book states that "[if] you possess knowledge or information that can be of value to someone else, then you qualify to share in the profit currently being reaped in the seminar business." Six lines later, it tells you to choose a topic with a built-in market. Are we hedging yet? Chapter one tells you to choose a topic that you love--then tells you that the public will decide whether it is any good. Computer topics are specifically singled out as a "hot" area--but in the extensive list of seminar companies, the best technical training companies are noticeable by their absence. What topics *do* get listed? Motivation. Karasik, himself, presents primarily motivational seminars. These are... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
Most infomercial supercliche books go on far too long. I suppose, therefore, that I should not be surprised that a picture book can cover the topic adequately. After all, there isn't that much to say about the National Information Infrastructure yet, and the basic concepts aren't all that involved. Of course, I speak as someone who is already in the know with respect to the net and the proposed convergence of various media types. I am therefore recognizing what I know in the writing and cartoons in this book. Would the material be as clear to those outside the profession? This I do not know for sure, and my initial reaction is negative. Still, while no one over went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public, pe...

Review:
This is an advertising pamphlet for IBM technology, and for a development tool of the author's. Shafe defines client/server as anyone else would define a local area network. That is unimportant, since what he *really* wants to talk about is "high-end" client/server--which anyone else would define as client/server; distributed access to, and processing of, information. Chapter one is the big sell, with "rapid development of responsive applications" becoming a mantra. Chapter two proves what we began to suspect in chapter one--Shafe's model of client/server is strictly based on terminal access to a mainframe. IBM's technology, is, rather arbitrarily, "proved" to be superior to everything else, in chapters three (operating systems), f... Rest of this review on the detail page
