Review:I would strongly dissuade anyone from buying this book. Approximately 50% of the book is mathematical notation and the author minimally defines the notation that he employs. This is a great book for someone that understands the notation used, but if you are not well versed in symbols then this might as well be Greek. The mathematics itself is not difficult, but the terms that he uses require substantial on-line research. The author also changes the meanings for certain symbols without informing ... Read more

Review:It's hard to figure out who would actually benefit from this book - it amounts to seven hundred pages of equations interrupted by blocks of text that fail to provide any intuition whatever for the techniques they are describing, and the occasional graph which is remarkable in the universe of graphs as being scarcely more informative than the equations it is meant to illustrate.

Seriously, you have to wonder wtf Bishop thought he was doing here. As a catalog of equations for people who al... Read more

Review:Before I read the book, I have little knowledge about creating an application. But after I read this book, especially chapter 4:Conducting Competitive Research, I know a lots of useful methods to know my directed or undirected competitor. Also, chapter 7 helped me finish my first prototype in a efficient and convenient way. I am so proud of to have my first application prototype with fully researched and when I have interview in product manager, I am willing to share my product with interviewer... Read more

Review:While he does over use the reference to his previous book "Crush It!" in just about every page, this book is full of great advice, inspiration, motivation and tips on how to successfully evolve yourself or brand online. Read more

Review:I had gotten a different C Programming book that wasn't as clear cut and good for beginners, but this is a perfect way to introduce C to those learning on their own like myself. I would recommend this without hesitation. Read more

Review:This is great book for learning C++!! It talks about the topic in very understandable wording, then goes into a sample coding project, giving adequate descriptions concerning what is going on in the code. I knew the basics before I got the book, so I cannot speak for the first few chapters, but I can verify that the chapters about classes, pointers, and memory allocation are very well-written and is a great book overall!!

Review:First and foremost, this is an excellent book. Everything is explained very well with not too much "fluff". I found a few errors in the text but that's to be expected in any programming book.

Now the reason I gave it only 4 stars is because of the style of the code. He uses "thisVar" or "this_var" in programs and many times uses both in the same program! The same for braces. He goes from same-line braces to line-after braces many times in the same program!

For those unaware, that's... Read more

Review:I have Excel 2016 for Macs. The differences between the products are too different (at least for a beginner) for this to be helpful. Sorry I wasted my money on this as I'm going to need it to take some classes. Read more
