This is a handbook. It is a handbook for journalists who want to be journalists for the rest of their career. Journalists who are not willing to adapt for the new era of data journalism should probably start looking for some other career. Full Review >

The slightly romantic(?) friendship between the geek and the pretty girl makes the reader continue reading the 'story' without stopping and in the meanwhile he unknowingly learns Linear Algebra. The discussions they do between breaks add up the spice. Full Review >

Jeffrey Carr is a well known computer security consultant and has worked with US defense authorities. So he is, by all means, in full capacity to write a book in this field which is unfamiliar to a majority of people with and without a technological background. Full Review >

Rather than been an inhuman how-to guide, Mathew MacDonald has effectively maintained the tone of this book as that of a geekish teacher who shares his experience of years in a friendly and easy to understand tone. Ultimately the reader ends up not only knowing how to create a web site, but also about fine tuning and marketing it to match its requirements. Full Review >
