Customer Review: This book was very useful for me. Recommended by a co-worker, I enjoyed reading this and learnt the importance of web analytics and what we were doing wrong in our web analytics implementation. It gave an excellent framework to apply to all web initiatives to accurately measure its value to the... more info
Customer Review: I am not completely finished reading it but I already think it's a great introductory book which is strongly committed with transmitting intuition and comprehension of its material (machine learning) usually hard for regular people. It focuses mainly on implementation and application but some... more info
Customer Review: Not good. Only a third of the way through chapter 2, yes, chapter TWO and I'm seriously considering retiring this book. Things had not been working as they ought to (as he said they would) until I got my hands DIRTY. Dirty as in "retro-fitting" my server to use an OLD version of the Zend framework.... more info
Customer Review: This book opened my eyes to the world of web2.0. It contains a nice split of sections and good checklist to be use for anybody who would like to start an internet business nowadays. I'd strongly recommend this book as a source of inspiration.
Customer Review: Building a Web 2.0 Portal with ASP.Net 3.5
Warning: This book is meant for developers who already have prior knowledge of asp.net technology. This seems like such an interestingly good book for those who already have some knowledge of ASP.NET technology. I unfortunately did not have prior... more info
Customer Review: We are not off to a good start so far with this book. If Kelly Goto was the Creative director, designer, and producer for many high profile clients such as Adobe Corporation. Have you seen their web site lately? How long ago was she responsible for it, one might ask. In addition the book includes... more info
Customer Review: This book sways between discussion and dissection - addressing entrepreneurs, curious technologists and architects. It's inconsistent in its treatment of the material it chooses to add to its scope. Fortunately, this doesn't mean the book isn't useful to read or fairly enjoyable in parts. Early... more info
Customer Review: I hate it when a book comes alomg with such bold predictions, but fails to deliver anything new. Such is the case here. I could find every idea and concept simply by reading blogs and following a few thought leaders. This book serves no purpose. I suggest watching TED demos and sticking to those who... more info
Customer Review: I purchased this book to learn more about the various aspects of social media and Web 2.0, how to implement these tools in order to benefit my business, and the implementation of Wordpress as a CMS. I'm familiar with building and the hosting of basic websites, but needed to understand how people... more info
Customer Review: I started off trying to read Wrox 'Beginning ASP.NET' but found it pretty dry and not that comprehensive as a tutorial so I gave up after a few hundred pages and bought this instead. Although the Sitepoint books always seem to be aimed at beginners I normally find the information to be pitched... more info
Customer Review: I have to agree with the other 3-star reviews of Hacking Exposed: Web 2.0 (HEW2). This book just does not stand up to the competition, such as The Web Application Hacker's Handbook (TWAHH) or Web Security Testing Cook (WSTC). I knew this book was in trouble when I was already reading snippets... more info
Customer Review: So just what is this 2.0 version of the Web? It's almost impossible to say as so many people come in with opinions that conflict with each other. The broadest definition seems to be that Web 2.0 uses the standard old fashioned web but uses it in a bi-directional way. The web was started... more info
Customer Review: Well the book seems to promise alot, but from a programmers perspective it really didn't do me any good. I could have summed up what i've learned in 2 or 3 pages. Additionally the book should be retitled Flickr Mashups as that is what the Author talks about 80% of the time. I've ordered... more info
Customer Review: This book provides a useful introduction to blogs, wikis, social networks, web 2.0 technologies and applications in the enterprise. However, the accounts of semantic web, participation culture and discovery mechanisms of information on the web are mediocre. The writing styles are also difficult. On... more info
Customer Review: I recently started a job at a GWT shop, and I picked this book up on a friend's recommendation. This book's strength is its comprehensive view into process of building a complex, interactive site using GWT as a tool. As a professional web developer, I'm less concerned with having someone teach... more info
Customer Review: While not news for many of us, much of what is driving the developments in Collaboration and the developments in collaboration tools is the necessity to create a Virtual Team space (VTS). Early in the book the authors define 10 trends in collaboration, the most interesting to me is the trend which... more info
Customer Review: This book is great for someone new or looking for specific information on a certain keyword. There are a few other products that I have found that may be more informative the 2007 Internet Yellow Pages which has more websites listed and the other is an online directory search engine at [...]. I... more info
Customer Review: The subject is interesting and the title is catchy, however there isnt much substance to this book. This is not the Groundswell, The chaosscenario or any of he book written by established author. Its more the book of a blogger turned author and the result is poor and mixed. Not worth reading.
Customer Review: I've given this book four stars because if you want to leverage Web 2.0 methods to garner more money for your Web 1.0 "what we think best" programs, then this is the book for you. In terms of actually creating empowered social networks where the non-profit is a facilitatator, connecting real... more info
