Using Information Technology Review

So the only reason why I didn't give the book 5 stars is because of the material in the book. The book itself is in great condition, came quickly and was a great price. Though, if you are a student trying to get a cheaper price and buy the older edition you MUST keep in mind that some of the information is a little outdated. Though it still works perfectly and alongside the lectures in class I don't have any issues with the book. It was the perfect decision for me and I would recommend it to other students, as long as you already have a basic background in computers.

The Williams, Using Information Technology, 8th edition utilizes a practical, applied approach to technology. This text is user-focused and has been highly updated including topics, pictures and examples. The Williams text contains less theory and more application to engage students who might be more familiar with technology.Continually published and updated for over 15 years, Using Information Technology was the first text to foresee and define the impact of digital convergence—the fusion of computers and communications. It was also the first text to acknowledge the new priorities imposed by the Internet and World Wide Web and bring discussion of them from late in the course to the beginning. Today, it is directed toward the "Always On" generation that is at ease with digital technology—comfortable with iPhones, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia, and the blogosphere—but not always savvy about its processes, possibilities, and liabilities. This 8th edition continues to address the two most significant challenges that instructors face in teaching this course:•Trying to make the course interesting and challenging,and•Trying to teach to students with a variety of computer backgrounds.In addition, this text correlates with Simnet Online for full integration of resources within the Computing Concepts course.

PMP Project Management Professional Study Guide, Second Edition Review

PMP Project Management Professional Study Guide, Second Edition
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As a newcomer to project management, I was a skeptical about finding a book which would make the subject interesting and approachable. This book does both. Phillips's writing style is lively and engaging - he gives a sense of being with his reader every step of the way. Despite the fact that the book is more than 500 pages long, it is organized well and moves quickly. I was able to keep track of what I was learning through the summaries and key terms at the end of each chapter, along with the extensive glossary and appendix which condenses key ideas for the exam. The self-tests at the end of each chapter also allow the reader to interact with the text and practice what they've learned. After working through these, I felt well-prepared for the exam, as I found out from taking the practice version, included on the CD which comes with the book. Overall, the text is generous in what it offers for the price. It provides an effective, user-friendly approach to preparing for the PMP exam. Elizabeth Lee, Ph.D.

IT Project Management: On Track from Start to Finish, Second Edition (Certification Press) Review

IT Project Management: On Track from Start to Finish, Second Edition (Certification Press)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Have you ever picked up a book which had nothing to do with your profession just to acquire knowledge about another field? Well, I did. I am an engineer with management experience, none of which applies to IT. I was first intrigued by Joe's knowledge of general management tools that apply to all types of managers (i.e. research, defining goals, budgets, etc.). Secondly, his book was the most enjoyable technical book that I have read. He brings life to his book with his subtle sarcasms accompanied by his technical expertise. I felt like I was sitting at his house, smoking a cigar, sipping on some brandy while he was explaining the intricacies of project management. (This is a big PLUS)
After reading his book, I feel that I not only have a greater knowledge of the IT profession and their environment, but I can also apply his reccommended management tools in my everyday management responsibilities.
I feel that Joe's book is a MUST READ not only for IT Managers specifically, but for all managers in general!

Project Management: the Managerial Process Review

Project Management: the Managerial Process
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Great condition, pretty much brand new, the EXACT same as the regular fifth edition hard back but for less than half the price! If you need the Project Management: The managerial process book for a class or any other reason this is definitely the book to buy. I saved over $100 by buying this rather than the hard back version at my school book store, and I looked through the hard back and soft back international version with my teacher and they are both identical. This is the link to the more expensive hard back so you know which book I'm comparing this to: Project Management: The Managerial Process
A great buy!

Information Systems Development: Methodologies, Techniques & Tools Review

Information Systems Development: Methodologies, Techniques and Tools
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Avison and Fitzgerald produced a thoroughly researched comparison on commonly used software development methodologies. Not only do the authors highlight the methodological mess that bothers researchers and practitioners alike, they also provide a comprehensive evaluation framework for those who are still wondering what methodology to use. This book certainly helps the reader to bring some order into the chaos.

"Information Systems Development" has been adopted as the key text for many information systems, business and management, and computer science courses. The book has seven parts which relate to the Information Systems Development context, the Systems Development Lifecycle, Themes of Systems Development, Techniques, Methodologies, Tools and Toolsets and finally Issues and Frameworks. This structure enables flexible use, either sequentially or by selecting sections or chapters to fit the specific needs of particular courses and favored approaches. Offering comprehensive coverage from traditional approaches through to the most recent agile methods, the book's unique strength lies in its combination of descriptions and insight into methodologies, techniques and tools with the analysis of context, issues and real-world problems associated with information systems development.Retaining these existing strengths, the fourth edition has been thoroughly updated and revised to reflect progress in this fast-paced discipline and to include the authors' recent experience of teaching with the text, as well as feedback from reviewers, colleagues and students.
