Best/Worst Labview Book for Beginner/Advanced/Good Reference

I saw a few other posts like this one but they were not very informative.
I thought I'd start this thread so everyone can voice thier opinion on what the best/worst Labview Reference is so that beginners (like me) and people just seeking information can know what to, and more importantly what NOT to buy.
List the good/bad points about the book like:
Does it teach good coding style?
Is it a good reference when you are done reading it?
How are the examples in it?
Is it easy to understand?
Things of that nature...
Again I'm sorry for kind of reposting this question but like I said, the other posts just give a list of LV books and not any information about them, not even if they are worth reading. It just looked like a listing from a search on Amazon.

Some other users recommended recently the book "LABVIEW Graphical Programming -- Practical Applications in Instrumentation and Control" by Gary W. Johnson. I haven't read it myself. This site has a big knowledgebase with many tutorials and examples, many of them many good, but they are usually topic specific and do not work as a course.
You should try to reread the manual in a few months. After you have gained some experience it is much easier to read and you will find it has some very interesting stuff.
As a side point, most people on this site do not get paid for doing this. Only those with blue names are from NI. The rest of us do this as a personal basis for several reasons: We like to help people, there are some very interesting things which can be learned from being around here and it's usually just plain fun (try looking at the BreakPoint. If you appreciate it, why not come back when you have more experience and help others?
Try to take over the world!

Best book for beginner?

Hello,
Can anyone recommend the best book for a complete novice to Illustrator?
Ive a background in GIS and am wanting to learn to improve my cartographic skills.
Does anyone know if theres a book out there that caters towards cartography in illustrator?
Anyway to get started and learn the basics any preference between Adobe Illustrator CS5 Classroom in a Book:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Adobe-Illustrator-CS5-Classroom-Book/dp/032170178X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=U TF8&qid=1306750888&sr=8-1
and
The Adobe Illustrator CS5 Wow! Book:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Adobe-Illustrator-CS5-Wow-Book/dp/0321712447/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qi d=1306750974&sr=8-1
Thanks for any help/advice!!

The WOW book is really for someone with a working knowledge of illustrator and in my opinion pretty useless especially for a beginner.
Classroom in a Book is an instructional book with tutorials to follow and will give you a working knowledge of how Illustrator works.
Mordy Goldings Book Real World Illustrator will give essentially instructional use of the program similar to informatio in the help files but in an instructional way organized fro the beginning to to end of the features.
As far as for Cartography I do not know why there is not one on the market as one of he contributors to the WOW book is a cartographer.
Illustrator is used a lot by map makers so it would probably be a good idea to have such a book.

Best Practical JSP Book for PHP developer

Hi Friends,
I am new to JSP and want learn basics of JSP so that I can do simple web page works.
I am a PHP developer with one and half years of experience.
Can anybody tell me what is the best JSP book for beginners or any web link with lots of simple jsp example?
--Sujoy

Before you learn JSP, you need to learn Java. I heard 'Head First in Java' is a good book. Install Eclipse IDE (its free) and work through some of the book's examples in it (as you read the book from cover to cover). Then Install Tomcat (its free) and the tomcat plugin for Eclipse (its free). Then read a book on JSP (cover to cover). I like the book 'JSP in action'. It covers both JSP and servlets. Then, create a hello world JSP in Eclipse, then a hello world servlet in Eclipse.

LabVIEW Book for advanced users? German or english

Hello,
I am searching for a book about LabVIEW (ideally 7.1. but later versions are also ok) for advanced users.
All the books I find on amazon are introductions for beginers.
I have done the LabVIEW Tutorial and I am programming since a couple of years, so my level ist something like beginer II or intermediate I (compared to LabVIEW classes).
Now I would like to improve my programing style and learn something about different VI architectures, professional design, performance optimizing, etc.
Are there any good books in english or german?

Best books for beginner

I've been a mac user for ages. I know how to use the software I need but I know nothing of what goes on "under the bonnet".
I'm not really interested in becoming an expert, but I'd like to understand how to set up (home)networks and what terms like DNS and IP mean. (and maybe some of the utilities within OSX)
Can anyone recommend a book or perhaps online (video) tutorial that might enlighten me please?
Sadly there are no Apple Stores here that I can benefit from.

Visit a local bookstore and look through their collection of books on computers. Usually there is a group of books about Macs. You can also "browse" the collection of Mac books on Amazon.com or similar online bookseller local to NZ and OZ. You can also check out the bookstore at U. of Auckland.

"Best" Java book for noob/advanced?

Just Java 2 by Peter van der Linden and the Core Java series by Hortsmann and Cornell are my favorites. In my view, the latter being slightly more comprehensive with less toy-like examples.

I've used these:
- Beginning Java 2 by Horton to get started.
- The Java Programming Language by Gosling and others to understand the principles behind the language.
- Effective Java by Bloch to write better code.
- Java Thread Programming by Hyde because my program is composed of 3 self-running parts.

Labview Books for 8.5

Proven Active Veterans,
Does anyone know of a good current book that is based on Labview 8.5 which goes into advance and intermediate LabVIEW topics?
Regards,
SS

I am not a PAV but I'll add my 2 cents.
I like "LabVIEW for Everyone" third edition is the most up to date text but does not cover LV 8.5.
But if you handle everything in that book, then the release notes and a couple of posting to the forums should fill in the gaps.

Best iphoto 11 book for creating a recipe book?

...Just upgraded iPhoto 11 and want to make a book that will allow photos (showing how to prepare dishes) AND plenty of space for text on the same page. The options I have seen so far seem to offer 2 possibilities: either (a) photos + very little space for text or (b) text only.
Suggestions very welcome.

Select the theme that you like the best for the dust jacket and cover and general pages. Then for those pages that would contain your recipes and photos create custom pages like those described in this tutorial: #19 - Creating a Custom Page, with the Theme's Background for an iPhoto Book.
If you have iWork you can use Pages to create each custom page in landscape mode. Then follow the tutorial to get it into iPhoto and the book.
You can do the same with image editors that support layers like Photoshop Elements for Mac. However, Pages is more powerful for this type of project.

Use of Official Document number in VAT Books for Italy

Dear All,
I would like to share with you a big doubt I have regarding the use of Official Document Number in the VAT Books. This is a requirement for an Italian client.
According to my clients requierement they would like to manage 5 different VAT Books:
1. Sale book (for all finished products sold in Italy, EU and outside EU)
2. Sale book for sundry sales (CAPEX, services, other goods ...)
3. Purchase book (for all the goods bought in Italy and out-side EU and for all the services bought in Italy)
4. EU purchase book (for all the goods and services bought from EU suppliers and for all the services bought from not EU suppliers)
5. EU sale (reverse charge) book (with the same numbers and amounts of the purchase book number 4)
For every VAT Book they want the Officil Document number to be displayed. Not only that, they want the Official Document Number to end in 1 (XXXXXXX1) at the start of every natural Year for EVERY VAT Book, and have sequential numbering with no gaps.
My intention is to use: RFKKITVATM. This is a specific VAT report for Italian Companies. The report selects documents that contain regular VAT and that have been assigned an Official Document number (ODN). You run this report to generate such a list for the current month. It selects documents with an ODN based on the invoice or credit memo posting date. You can create as many layout-variants (one per VAT Book??).
My question is: The VAT Books are based on different VAT Codes. How can we have every single VAT Book to start with an Official Document number ending in 1? The number range will be Document type dependant and not VAT Code dependant.
As per my knowledger, To use Official Document Numbering (ODN) in Italy we have to make a number of settings:
- Activate ODN
- Specify which document types the system is to assign official document numbers to.
- Assign installation-specific function modules to events
- Define Number ranges
Have you faced up a similar requirement? Is this a legal requierement or is my client mixing up with another legal requierement related to this subject: To print a sequential number and the fiscal year on each page of the reportu2019s output list. The System starts the numbering automatically at 1, as it does for each subsequent year.
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Hello All,
Am facing an issue when implementing the ODN solution for Italy. I cannot replicate the ODN in field BKPF-XBLNR_ALT when posting Invoice via MIRO.
1. I have Defined a Document Class per VAT Book
2. I have Assign a Document Class to Document Types (in my example Document Type "RE" to Document class "43". And select "Generate Official Document Number, with date control".
3. I have mantained Number ranges
4. I have Assign the Number ranges to Document Class.
5. In order to transfer the ODN from Billing docs to Accounting docs I have entered the Document Type "RV" at Billing Document Type level.
It all works as expected except for the Accounting documents coming from Logistic Invoice verification - MIRO transaction. Document Type "RE" is used for posting but my field BKPF-XBLNR on Accounting document remains blank.
Is there any additional step am missing?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

Best books for a beginner.

I am in a Java class right now, and the material as it has been presented has been very confusing. I really want to get a good understanding of Java, my question is: What are the best books for someone that is starting to learn Java? I was looking through different reviews of Java books, and Just Java 2 by Peter van der Linden sounds good, but I want the book to explain Java in the simplest form as possible.
If I could get some more recommendations I would appreciate it.
Thanks.

Head First Java is wonderful, but I wouldn't use that book on its own. It's a lot of theory, but very few examples and no programming exercises. Some books tell you how to do something, but they don't tell you why it works, so you end up unable to program anything that isn't exactly like what they showed you. Head First Java really gets into the why and it's great for making you think like a programmer, especially if the object-oriented thinking isn't coming naturally. But you need a book that has more of a tutorial format in addition to Head First.

What is the best book for Analysis Server 2012??

What is the best published book for SSAS 2012?

Thanks for the recommendation, Shankar! I would like to point out that the answer depends on what you mean by "SSAS 2012". Here are a few other recommendations...
If it's SSAS 2012 Tabular, then yes, "SQL Server Analysis Services 2012: The BISM Tabular Model"
is an option - but as a co-author I'm obviously biased! Teo Lachev's book, "Applied Microsoft
SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services: Tabular Modeling" covers some of the same ground and is also very good. If you're just interested in DAX, Rob Collie's book "DAX
Formulas for PowerPivot" is worth a look - even though it's for PowerPivot, the DAX language is the same as in SSAS Tabular.
For SSAS 2012 Multidimensional, because not much has changed since SSAS 2008, any book for 2008 or 2008 R2 will still be relevant. I haven't seen the 2012 edition, but editions of "Professional
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services with MDX and DAX" for older versions of SSAS were good general introductions; "Microsoft
SQL Server Analysis Services 2008 Step-By-Step" is also good. For more experienced developers there's another book I co-wrote, "Expert
Cube Development with SQL Server 2008" (a refresh for SSAS 2012 is coming later this year); and for the really advanced SSAS developer who wants to understand the internals of the product there's "Microsoft
SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services Unleashed", written by Edward Melomed and several other senior members of the SSAS dev team at the time. For MDX beginners I'd recommend "Microsoft
SQL Server 2008 MDX Step--By-Step", and for more advanced MDX there's "MDX with Microsoft
SQL Server 2008 R2 Analysis Services Cookbook".
For the whole Microsoft BI stack, Brian Larson's books are always good (eg "Delivering Business
Intelligence with SQL Server 2012") and cover more than just SSAS, although they go into less detail.
HTH,
Chris
