DB2(R) Universal Database for OS/390 V7.1 Application Certification Guide (Ibm Db2 Certification Guide Series)

DB2(R) Universal Database for OS/390 V7.1 Application Certification Guide (Ibm Db2 Certification Guide Series)
Susan Lawson | 2002-11-26 00:00:00 | IBM Press | 624 | DB2
Direct from IBM, this comprehensive day-to-day reference for running DB2 UDB in OS/390 environments is also the only book that delivers the depth of knowledge professionals need to pass IBM's challenging DB2 for OS/390 application certification exam (exam 514). Full of useful tips, practical techniques, and expert guidelines, it covers virtually every aspect of working with DB2 UDB in OS/390 and z/OS environments: administration, connectivity, middleware, development, and much more. This book is part of the IBM Toronto Lab's DB2 Certification program. This book and CD-ROM will help candidates prepare for taking Exam 512 and Exam 516 that leads to an IBM Certification in Database Administration for OS/390.
Reviews
This book is quite possibly the worst written technical book I have read in my 18 year career. It seems as if the driest and dullest portions of the DB2 manuals have been extracted and collected together and called a book; without any regard to editing or amending with graphics.



The material in the book may well cover the necessary topics for the certification test, but the stamina necessary to read it makes this choice clearly a poor one. You would be much better off reading Craig Mullins' latest DB2 Developer's Guide and portions of the DB2 Administration Guide to in preparation for the exams.



I give this book 2 stars only because the material covered seems to closely match what is on the test. Extracting the information from this book, however, is another matter.

It doesnt give you the indepth details for the 702 certification... All topics are covered as an overview
Reviews
This book is great for DB2 beginners. It has right structure, covers material in sequential order and does not talk much about insignificant matters just to increase the volume, like many other books do. In my view, only one but significant flaw doesn't allow me to call this book exellent - lots of errors and typos in the examples. They are mostly insignificant but very confusing for a novice. I hope the author sorts them out in the second edition which this book definitely deserves.
Reviews
Besides getting you ready for the certification examination this book is an excellent reference source and covers some material far better than other similar books on the market. If you only want to buy a few books on this subject, start with this one. You may find you don't need any others.
Reviews
This is an excellent book that gives an overall picture of what to expect for the z/OS 702 Examination. The certification portions have all been covered well. Except for a few typos in a few places, this book is an excellent material and is a handy book for a DBA. I certainly recommend it to anyone wishing to pursue DB2 702 certification.

The Hundred Languages of Children

The Hundred Languages of Children
C. Edwards, L. Gandini | 1998-01-01 00:00:00 | Elsevier Science | 520 | Psychology
The city-run early childhood program of Reggio Emilia, Italy, has become recognized and acclaimed as one of the best systems of education in the world. Over the past forty years, educators there have evolved a distinctive innovative approach that supports children's well-being and fosters their intellectual development through a systematic focus on symbolic representation. Young children (from birth to age six) are encouraged to explore their environment and express themselves through many "languages," or modes of expression, including words, movement, drawing, painting, sculpture, shadow play, collage, and music. Leading children to surprising levels of symbolic skill and creativity, the system is not private and elite but rather involves full-day child care open to all, including children with disabilities.

This new Second Edition reflects the growing interest and deepening reflection upon the Reggio approach, as well as increasing sophistication in adaptation to the American context. Included are many entirely new chapters and an updated list of resources, along with original chapters revised and extended. The book represents a dialogue between Italian educators who founded and developed the system and North Americans who have considered its implications for their own settings and issues. The book is a comprehensive introduction covering history and philosophy, the parent perspective, curriculum and methods of teaching, school and system organization, the use of space and physical environments, and adult professional roles including special education. The final section describes implications for American policy and professional development and adaptations in United States primary, preschool, and child care classrooms.
