Good reference book. I recently did an introductory 'Artificial Intelligence' course at University and this book proved to be worth the spend. It covers a range of algorithms - from sorting algorithms all the way to path finding and everything in between. Full Review >

This book is exactly what its title says - a reference book for XAML. It covers all major areas of XAML related programming - focussing mostly on WPF and Silverlight. Full Review >

I recently accepted to do a review of Ã¢â‚¬Å“The Learn Microsoft Visual C# book 2010Ã¢â‚¬Â by John Paul Mueller. I was in two minds on whether I really wanted to read this book Ã¢â‚¬â€œ in itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s description it says it is targeting fundamentals of modern programming with Visual C#, but I wasnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t sure how fundamental it would be and since I have been working with C# for a while now, I wasnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t sure if it would be worth my while. After going through a few of the chapters of the book I would say this really targets very basic concepts Ã¢â‚¬â€œ and has a focus towards the technology of .Net rather than programming. Full Review >
