Which book do you recommend for 'MySQL 5 Certified Associate Exam' exam?

Hello, this is my first post. I am familiar with SQL and I use it occasionally, but I decided to get certified. Which book and material would you recommend me studying to sit the 1Z0-870 exam? Online and college courses are too expensive for me and I happen to do better studying at my own pace. Thanks.

Thanks.For certification purposes: MySQL 5.0 Certification Study Guide [Paperback] ISBN-13: 978-0672328121 is still probably still good (unless the topics have been updated and I haven't noticed), though perhaps dated compared to the more recent MySQL versions.
... That said the 1z0-870 for MySQL is relatively expensive and over simple for what it is (IMHO); and it may be worth considering going direct for the OCP.
For using the more recent version of MySQL in practice additional books/material may be important for on the job in practice.

  • Beginneer to J2EE, which book do you recommend me?

    Hi mates!
    I have a lot of experience in C++ and Java SE, but I never used J2EE.
    I would like to create an app that uses web interfaces, data bases (persistence) and a multithreaded server. I guess that is possible with J2EE, but no idea about Hibernate/Spring/JSF/Beans/WebFlow....
    What book do you recommend me to learn about that kind of things?
    Thank you very much for your help, I appreciate it a lot.

    I'd recommend to start with the free book [Core servlets 2nd edition|http://pdf.coreservlets.com] to learn about servlets & JSPs. In the mean time I'd find a good tutorial about JDBC and learn how to do database actions with Java.
    When you know that, the next step in my opinion would be to get the book [Enterprise Javabeans 3.0|http://www.amazon.com/Enterprise-JavaBeans-3-0-Richard-Monson-Haefel/dp/059600978X] , as it is still the best EJB book I know of.
    Finally if you want to go for the full package, I'd read [Pro EJB 3: Java Persistence API|http://www.amazon.com/Pro-EJB-Java-Persistence-API/dp/1590596455] or even its newer second edition, [Pro JPA 2|http://www.amazon.com/Pro-JPA-Mastering-Persistence-Technology/dp/1430219564] to stay up to date with the times. I haven't read the second edition yet, but the first one was an excellent book about the Java Persistence API.
    What remains would be a book about JavaServer Faces, if you want to use that as the view technology. I cannot really recommend a book about that.

  • What book would you recommend for learning Logic EXPRESS 9?

    Hello.
    I'm going to be getting Logic Express 9 in the next few days.  I was wondering if any of you can recommend a good, up-to-date, book for learning the ins and outs of Logic Express 9?  I've seen a few on Amazon.com that are for Logic PRO and Express.  My concern is that they'll spend a lot of time on talking about Pro functionality and I may be left up in the air with wanting to know what I need to know about Express.
    Please let me know why you like the book(s) that you're recommending, too.
    Thanks very much.
    p.s.  I used Opcode's "Vision" about 20 years ago.  I'm hoping that I'll be able to pick-up Logic Express 9 fairly quickly.

    Hi
    You should not be concerned about 'Pro vs Express'.: they are essentially the same program, with the same functionality. The primary differences are listed here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4229
    The general word seems to be that The Apple Pro Training Series book by David Nahmani is a very good place to start.

  • What Illy CS4 book would you recommend for the beginner to grow with?

    Hello All,
                 I am looking for a good illustrator cs4 book for the beginner to grow with.
    I have read reviews on amazon but thought I might ask the pros.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    The instructions that ship with the program: The Help menu.
    I know it's boring, but if you want to learn a new program, the most expedient way is to work through the provided manual, cover to cover. Don't just read it, actually perform the operations it describes.
    Third-party books almost universally involve these downsides:
    They are expensive.
    They are incomplete. They try to walk a fence-edge between rank beginner and intermediate user; between being merely a too-wordy reiteration of the Help files and next-level techniques for the more experienced user. The reason is obvious: the goal is to sell to as wide a range of users as possible. The result is often unsatisfying: They can't possibly include everything in the Help files, so they leave gaps for the beginner. But they feel compelled to appeal to beginners, so the experienced user has to weed through a bunch of entry-level bulk, just to get to the "juicy stuff" he's interested in. He pay's 100% price for about 15% of the content.
    The are inefficient. They are full of unnecssary verbiage attempting to be clever, cute, hip, friendly, and thereby supposedly more "approachable." Most fail miserably at this, and the result is you have to read through endless passages of such original content as "this will knock your socks off" and "this is awesome" when what you really need is "just the facts, ma'am." The Help files fall under the stylistic guidelines of technical documentation: They adhere to "just-the-facts, ma'am."
    They are short-lived. They go quickly out-of-date, which is one of the reasons why they are too expensive: They have to make their money quickly after release.
    I'm not saying don't buy any. I have a small fortune's-worth myself, all but a dozen or so of which I wish I had never bought. With the money I wasted on them (plus interest), I could buy a new Honda Fury. I'm just saying do the included documentation--however painful--first. And keep doing it for new features when new versions are released. That will get you there the quickest, because it will lay the necessary foundations of overall interface scheme and basic object principles. Then, when you have that understanding, look only for books that are targeted toward an at-least intermediate level user. That way, your money will be spent, but it will be better-invested.

  • What book would you recommend for PE9?

    I'm been using PE 2 & PE 3 for years and I'm ready to purchase PE9, I know it will be a big learning curve, this is why I haven't already updated.  My main interest is restoring old photos or taking a particular thing or person from the photo.  I do genealogy, family calendars etc.
    Thanks

    You could add Barbara's book to the list as well for a comprehensive know-how of PSE 9:

  • Which iPad would you recommend for a college student, an iPad mini or full size iPad?

    I already have the top of the line Macbook Pro 15 in ret display for school, but I'm also interested in using an iPad for school as well. Would the iPad mini be more convenient because of the small size or more of a problem? And would getting an iPad for school be really worth it? What could I do on there that I couldn't do on my Mac? If I were to get an iPad I would be looking into a 32GB, is that too big or too small? Thanks for the help ahead of time!

    OK... here's the latest on my lab environment/server set up. We have a 17" iMac G5. It is connected to a 24 port 10/100 switch with two gigabit ports. The iMac gets a gigabit port; the eleven eMacs get 10/100 ports. There is an internal 160 GB SATA hard drive installed in the iMac, and a 160 GB external firewire drive connected to the iMac for back-up purposes. I haven't got the back-up software running yet, but plans are to back up user information on the external hard drive and create an archive of server OS set up and software on DVD in case of catastrophic failure.
    Since our 30+ Windows boxes are served with your basic Dell Optiplex running Windows Server 2003 and an old, cranky Gateway running Linux, I didn't think our little Mac lab would suffer that much under an iMac server. So far it's been smooth sailing, and the whole set-up, iMac, server software, and external hard drive, were under $2000.

  • Which jre & tomcat version do you recommend for this hardware setup?

    I have to install a SINGLE JSP application onto an Intel pentium3 windows XP box with 128Mb of RAM clocked at 733Mhz
    1. Is this setup sufficient for running tomcat?
    2. Which version of tomcat and which JRE do you recommend for this setup?
    3. Would I get better performance running Jetty, and if so which version?

    The issue of changing native folder hierarchy and/or naming conventions has little to do with solid state media and everything to do with the container and header data that links the audio/video streams with the metadata and thus allows the content or "media essence" to be properly decoded and played.  This is the very reason to use a tool like Prelude or Premiere's Media Browser or even Bridge or Lightroom or a third party logging tool like metafuze or shotputpro, or dedicated camera format software such as sony xdcam clipbrowser or panasonic p2 browser, redcine x, ect, as these tools all are designed to parse the captured A/V data and make properly syntaxed edits to the metadata either embedded directly into the media container or in Prelude and Premiere's case can also be written back to a sidecar or associated XMP file, which is a flavor of XML that contains all the original captured metadata plus any changes and/or additions made via these tools.
    The dangers come into play when changes to the native file naming convention or folder hierarchy are done directly to the media content via finder on mac or explorer on windows, as changing at that level can break the relationship between the metadata stream and the media essence since the changes are not being written to the metadata or content headers or being handled in a manner referred to as transmuxing..
    Prelude & Premiere's Media Browser both allow for looking into the native files non-destructively and safely modifying either the metadata linked to the native media or also allows for a transcode to be done which will then copy or recreate a new media file in whatever format selected along with a new metadata stream.
    Prelude is a nice utility and Premiere's Media Browser an amazing tool for organizing, modifying and selectively ingesting media and or making quick selects and assemblies.

  • Hello, I am interested in buying a new Macbook Pro but want to run Adobe CS package.  Which computer do you recommend?

    Hello, I am interested in buying a new Macbook Pro but want to run the latest Adobe CS package.  Which computer do you recommend for best speed and perfromance?

    Depending on the software you'll use - I doubt you'll be an expert on After Effects and use Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver like a pro (you may be an exception) - I have a 13" Macbook Pro simply because the 15" lacks the portability of the smaller size - the Retina 15" is alot lighter and if you can afford it - go for it!
    I bought the Macbook Pro and replaced the 4GB of RAM with 8GB of RAM and replaced the HDD with an m4 SSD from Crucial. The SSD really makes a difference in app start up speeds, loading times and bootup speeds. The RAM ensures apps operate smoothly and everything is snappy. Since getting an SSD, I would say the performance of Photoshop and Illustrator is vastly improved. I can have both open whilst surfing the web, checking my email and even using Dreamweaver every once in a while. Multitasking is great.
    To conclude, depedning on your price range, buying a £999 Macbook Pro and swapping the HDD for an SSD and the 4GB of RAm to 8GB, will ensure better performance than both 15" Models. However, buying a 15" Model and maxing out the specs, would beat the performance of a maxed out 13".
    I have a 13" and it runs faster than it was when I first purchased it last year. Photoshop opens in 2/3 seconds and performance is great.
    Hope this helps.
    P.S. If you have the money, get the 15" Retina. If not, max out the 13" if you still want portability. Otherwise, get the 15" and max that out if you feel performance is poor.
    The reason I say Retina, is because the maxed ram and SSD is already installed and saves alot of hassle aswell as the slimmer design and lighter weight.

  • Which of the two monitors do you recommend for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5:  EIZO CG 277 Coloredge o

    HI,
    Which of the two monitors do you recommend for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5:
    EIZO CG 277 Coloredge or NEC PA-272W.
    Thanks in advance for your reply.

    It depends on where you are. Things are very different in Europe (Italy?) compared to the US situation.
    The price difference between comparable NEC/Eizo models in Europe actually goes in Eizo's favor. The regular NEC PA272 in Europe cannot be hardware calibrated (it has a firmware lock) and the comparable offering would be either the NEC Spectraview 272 or the Spectraview Reference 272. These are more expensive than the Eizo CG277.
    Note that the European PA272 can be hardware calibrated with the US Spectraview II software - but that software cannot be bought in Europe and has to be imported from the US.
    All these displays are top reference quality. As for calibration software, which is a very important part in the equation, my vote goes to Eizo's ColorNavigator (I have a CG246). It is a superb piece of well thought-out software. The US Spectraview II - which I also happen to have - is a very, very close second, but the European Spectraview Profiler software that you get with the EU NEC units isn't all that impressive.
    Photoshop supports a 10 bit display pipeline, with either display, as long as you have a video card that also supports it. Lightroom doesn't support it.

  • For editing video which MacBook do you recommend me?

    Hello. For editing video which MacBook do you recommend me? Thanks.

    Unless you're too delicate and can't handle the weight, a regular MacBookPro with the Widescreen/Anti-glare and 2.6GHz processor options (gets you 1GB VRAM as well):
    Then upgrade by yourself to 16GB RAM and either a 7200RPM HDD or an SSD for substantially less than what Apple charges and you will have a screamer.

  • Which NAS you recommend for SMB backup storage

    Synology and ReadyNAS would be my first choices in this category.  I have and use both and love them.  I've had quite good success with Buffalo as well with clients.  Nearly all storage engineers that I know when choosing this type of storage, like Kooler, choice Synology and ReadyNAS.
    For backups and archives specifically I have had good luck with Drobo too.

    For me it's always between Netgear and Synology. Now I'm back to Netgears (being a green guy here I cannot tell reason in public).For anything bigger then 2 SATAs in RAID1 economically reasonable to "roll your own" backup appliance. Recycled Dell R7xx and again recycled Windows Server 2012 R2 (because of SMB3 and decent backup-ready dedupe) appliance is very hard to beat! In case you don't have old server xByte has a stack of reburbished ones they sell cheap.--Planning to buy a NAS storage for our backups.Very small environment with VMware host, 7 VMs, Veeam backup.Total backup size 200GB, daily increment is around 7-10GB (Compressed).Will use the NAS for backup storage only and nothing else.Which brand do you recommend or use at your SMB locations:SynologyQNAPSeagateNetgear ReadyNASBuffalo
