Preparing for an Outstanding Career in Computers

Summary: Watch out for this one
Review: BE WARNED: First of all, I suggest you notice that this book is published by the author himself and not by any reputable publishing firm. Secondly, notice how all the other reviews of this book look eerily similar to each other and were all issued on the same day. I suspect the author of this book is trying to exaggerate its popularity by writing his own editorials and therefore bolster sales for his own publishing house. That being said...
This book does cover a lot of very useful information but it only glosses over the material and has plenty of errors or omissions. It's too brief to be useful to a real professional or dedicated student and too technical for a beginner. It is most certainly not worth $20 for such a thin paperback.

Summary: AN EXCELLENT BOOK FOR ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER ENGNRS/ SCIENTISTS
Review: I have been designing and implementing systems using microprocessors for a long time in computer industries. This is an excellent book which can be used as a quick study guide for finding answers to many vital computer topics such as basic definitions, RISC and CISC, VHDL and Verilog, use of C/C++ vs. assembly and many other important hardware and software issues. The presentation of concepts associated with microprocessor-based system design is outstanding!
Most career-oriented books are non-technical. This particular book is technical with adequate details presented in a simple question and answer format. I enjoyed reading Dr. Rafiquzzaman's other books in the past. This is another one I really did enjoy! This book includes a lot of interesting materials that are presented in a very systematic and simplified manner in approximately 200 pages. Everything you want to know about computer hardware and software but afraid to ask is in this book!
There is no doubt in my mind that this book should help especially electrical/computer engineers/computer scientists also for preparing for job interviews. Go for it! You will not regret!

Summary: Excellent Book
Review: I have been using this book for some time now, and found it very useful. It contains a lot of accurate and technical information. I absolutely disagree with the negative and unfair comment left above. The user above may have tried to upload their comments again and again on the same day thinking that their comment hasn't posted on Amazon.com's website since it did not appear immendiately. The author of this book wrote several books in the past with reputable publishers such as Wiley and Prentice-Hall. He is an auhtority in this field. I found this book very informative, and would rate it with five stars.

Summary: A unique & exceptional book in computers for professionals.
Review: This book is great for first course as well as professional engineers; it is very easy to understand. It has lots of good examples. I will keep this book for a long time. It has so much information about everything, from basic definition of computer to design of microprocessors. More likely, this book presents a comprehensive and detailed study guide for students in electrical/computer engineering, computer science, and working professionals. It has the most up-to-date concepts and technologies portrayed in a simple question and answer format.
This book is a must for anyone who is either looking for a job now or possibly will be in the future, which is just about all of us nowadays. Moreover, this book is an excellent guide for anyone who is nervous about interview questions. It is a no-nonsense reference guide to the kinds of questions to expect during the interview and what the both weak and strong responses are to them.
I especially like the list of questions and answers presented in the book. The author has done a great job in pulling together the elements, which spell success in the quest for employment. This book is concise and to the point, and well worth the price. This book is not only helpful in finding jobs but also can be kept just for the self-confidence and self-examination opportunity it gives you. I can truly attribute this book to helping me prepare for the interviews. I am certain, once I finish reading this book, I will be brimming with confidence for my new career!
I highly recommend this text for every student and professional. I guess buying this book was the best thing I did for my recent job search.
