Get online and prosper, urges Aliza Sherman, founder of Cybergrrl Inc. and Webgrrls International. Her book Cybergrrl at Work is packed with instructive anecdotes of successful wired women and step-by-step suggestions and strategies for women to take full advantage of business and career opportunities on the Internet. "Your best job tools are a modem, mouse and computer monitor," says Sherman, who illustrates her premise with standout chapters on how to find a job online, including where to find the 10 best job sites and the differences between paper and online résumés. Sherman's smart section on "miracle résumés"--critiquing eight traditional résumés and giving them a digital twist--captures the essence of the brave new world of e-recruiting. Other topics include using a telecommuting career to balance work and family, creating a Web site, starting a new media business, and growing your business on the Internet. Sherman capably translates the success of several dozen women into strategies for leveraging career success via the Internet. Her bright ideas transcend sexual politics, offering advice that is not for women only. --Barbara Mackoff

inspirational!.......2001-06-13

Aliza is an enormously impressive woman. Not only has she obviously inspired thousands of woman, but she manages to remain humble and uneffected. Is is just those qualities that enable her books to reach out to woman. I highly recommend them all.

Very helpful and inspirational!!.......2001-05-29

Great book for women who want to to know more about the internet and how they can get into the field. Aliza Shermnan gives a lot of practical information on many different positions in the field, what skills are needed and how you can get started. The experiences shared by many women in the book serve as great encouragement for any woman interested in giving it a try, who want to broaden their prospects or who want to get some new ideas on how to further advance their existing business. It's easy reading and fun -- buy it for yourself or somone else as a gift!!

Very useful.......2001-05-24

This book is an excellent guide for those who are new to the Internet and for those who are veterans -- everyone will find something new and useful. Sherman is a clear and practical writer with lots of experience to back up her recommendations. I would recommend this book to any woman.

Interesting and helpful.......2001-05-18

Terrific book -- both interesting to read (especially the stories of how other women used the web to become successful) and helpful (containing tips on how you can do it too.) It was also very practical, especially (at least for me)the section on growing your business on the Internet. I've read other books in this area, which were very dry, but this was a fast read and a very helpful one as well. I highly recommended this book -- and you don't have to be a female to enjoy it.

The Old Girls Network.......2001-05-14

Lets face it sisters, it is time to help each other to get ahead professionally. Ms. Sherman shares her knowledge and expertise, as well as others for using all the tools available to us. Don't pass up a fun quick read that can make a difference and make your life better.

Book Description

"Business intelligence" is one of the hottest catch phrases circulating throughout the industry today and refers to a methodology for turning data into information. ColdFusion is a complete Web application server for developing and delivering scalable e-business applications. Business Intelligence with ColdFusion combines the two and provides a solid understanding of ColdFusion and project management principles while taking you through complete examples of how to successfully implement business intelligence. This book is geared toward the experienced application developer who might be new to ColdFusion. It includes a CD with a demo of a ColdFusion server, Allaire's Homesite and Studio, and a HTML version of the book.

Customer Reviews:

Worst Cold Fusion Book.......2000-10-11

I have the 2 Ben Forta books + Mastering CF and CF for Dummies. And this is the worst of the bunch. I would not recommend this for advance developers. This should have been entitled "Project Management for CF" not Business Intelligence. I don't need a lecture on project management (which this book focuses). To the publishers - I want techniques for Business Intelligence not Project Management! Thumbs Down!

Good overall introduction.......2000-10-08

I have some experience with ColdFusion development, and found the book to be a good introduction to an essential element of business intelligence--keeping the project on track. The first chapters of the book as well as the case study provided an easy-to-read introduction to the issue of project management (something I struggle with on all my development projects). Although the SQL coverage might seem superfluous, any seasoned developer will look to a robust database engine such as SQL Server to enable their applications: as it happens, I am fairly new to SQL so this coverage was a bonus for me. And, the CF examples--while somewhat basic--were nevertheless informative. A good start to a difficult topic--maybe there is a more robust, detailed second version in the works?

Disappointing.......2000-10-03

As an experienced developer who's somewhat new to Cold Fusion, I had hoped that this book would provide some new and useful ideas and source code. Boy was I wrong.

According to the book review, "This book is geared toward the experienced application developer who might be new to ColdFusion." Yet, in the introduction, the book says "This book assumes no prior knowledge of Coldfusion development". That's for sure!

The first four chapters are a beginner's introduction to project management. Skip if you have ever been on a software project team or taken a class in project management.

Chapters five through nine are a rehash of the Cold Fusion manual. Skip if you have the manual or can download it from Allaire's web site.

Chapters 10 through 13, the heart of the book, cover developing a project plan and finally show us some code. The example code is deja vu all over again. Skip if you have any other book on Cold Fusion.

The second half of the book is a complete departure from Cold Fusion entirely (except for an Appendix on Cold Fusion Administrator - again, skip if you have the manual).

Amazingly, seven entire chapters are devoted to installing and testing SQL Server. What in blazes does this have to do with Cold Fusion? We're talking nearly 200 off-topic pages here ...

Skip the second half of this book if you have any book on SQL Server or (like me) are using Oracle and Apache web server.

This book might be okay for a first course in web database development. For serious developers who are truly interested in "Business Intelligence", I consider it a waste of money.

What experienced developers need is a book with a title like "Algorithms in Cold Fusion". How about it, O'Reilly?

Customer Reviews:

It contains only 13 pages of information plus appendices.......1998-08-17

This book is not what I expected. The total authors contribution runs to only 13 pages (Chapter 1 to end). The remainder is reprints of other companies proposals to raise money. This would certainly not be my first choice of book to recommend to anyone.

Book Description

Australia's richest man, Kerry Packer, came to the helm of Australian Consolidated Press a quarter of a century ago; in recent years his son, James, has begun taking over the reins of the dynasty. But despite the legendary reputation of Kerry Packer and his father Sir Frank, the story of how Australian Consolidated Press came to be the behemoth it is today has never been told before.

Book Description

This book is the fifth in a series of books on the major petroleum and gas exporting nations, most of them part of the developing world. Because of its gas dimension, Algeria occupies a special position in the global economy, particularly with regard to Europe. At the same time, despite its efforts to diversify the economy, Algeria still finds that its prospects are closely bound to the future of oil and gas. A broad description is provided of the oil and gas sectors of the country, highlighting those features which give Algeria a physiognomy of its own. The analysis is set into the context of history, economic policy and international relations. It also seeks to identify the specific challenges that Algeria will face in developing its hydrocarbon wealth to the best advantage of its economy.
