Editorial Review:

New information technologies are being applied swiftly to all levels of government service: local, county, regional and even national and international. Information technology (IT) is being used to improve data management and data sharing, planning and decision support, service delivery, and more. Application areas affected by government mandates to improve e-government service include healthcare and safety; law enforcement, security, and justice; education; land use; and many others. Information technology is being used to increase public access to information, to provide more convenient and timely transaction services, and to increase citizen participation in the establishment of government regulations and other processes. DIGITAL GOVERNMENT: E-Government Research, Case Studies, and Implementation provides the field with a definitive, interdisciplinary, and understandable review of recent IT and related research of particular importance to digital government. The book also includes explorations of current and future policy implications, and case studies of successful applications in a variety of government settings.

The book has been organized into three parts: Unit 1 covers the international foundations of digital government and related social, public, and legal issues (such as privacy, confidentiality, trust and security) that are evolving from governments new ways of doing business. Unit 2 examines current IT research that is impacting the advancement of digital government purposes and initiatives. In this section, a wide range of technologies are discussed with the objective of outlining a framework of state-of-the-art technologies showing the most promise for e-government initiatives. Unit 3 highlights case studies and applications of successful e-government initiatives from around the world which have wider lessons and implications. High impact projects are explored in detail, with a 'lessons learned' discussion included with each case study. Each chapter is accompanied by references, suggested additional readings, online resources, and questions for discussion.

Editorial Review:

For database software, FileMaker Pro has always been almost shockingly easy to use. However, somewhere along the way it also became incredibly powerful-so much so, in fact, that's it's no longer about just creating small-scale relational databases. If you're ready to move beyond the basics and take advantage of FileMaker Pro 7's advanced features, this task-based guide provides the key. By applying the same visual approach, step-by-step instructions, and concise explanations employed by the popular Visual QuickStart Guides to complex topics like creating and managing links between fields in multiple tables and employing the advanced security features to define which fields are editable by different user categories, this handy guide represents the most efficient way for experienced FileMaker users to take their skills to the next level. By the end of the volume, you'll be creating custom databases, using advanced querying features, and managing huge volumes of complex data (text, video, images, audio, PDFs, and more) with FileMaker Pro 7!

The ONLY HTML book you will EVER need 5 out of 5 stars.
29 of 29 people found this review helpful.

Don't buy one of those gigantic 30lb books w/ a CD in the back... they're overwhelming and expensive... and totally over-blow the whole simplicity of web development.

Tim Evans nails it on the head. I bought quite a bit of intro books when I wanted to put up my first web page... they are all boat anchors and door stops now.

I have been a professional web designer for over 4 years and I owe it to this easy intro by Tim Evans. I read the small book in one day and I had my first web page up in 5 minutes.

Anytime someone asks me how to get into web design & programming, this is the only book I recommend.

It's cheap, it's short and it gets right to the point. Thanks to Mr. Evans for being a cybergeek AND being able to speak to neophytes at the same time!

This is a great book for learning HTML 5 out of 5 stars.

This book is very easy to follow. it has almost every aspect of the HTML language. I recommend it strongly

Incomplete for a reference, and hard to locate tags! 3 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

I'm reviewing this book from the point of view of an advance html programmer. I do agree the book is easy to understand, but a bit unorganized and incomplete for a 10 minute guide or reference. The book lacks many attributes within a tag. This book is "ok" for beginner, but even if you're a beginner you don't want to buy this book. It's old, incomplete and chances are you'll have to look for another html books after this one. It's not a good book to keep as a reference either. It's good to look at this in a library to understand what html is about, then go buy a more complete book to keep. And don't buy a big fat one either. Eventually you'll want a small, thin pocket book with all the tags and attributes and what each one does just to refresh your memory 'cause there is nothing much in html.

Editorial Review:

The 10 Minute Guide to HTML, 2nd Ed. offers simple, practical help for busy people who need fast results.

Skip this book...piece of [junk] 1 out of 5 stars.

This book is really old (back when Mac OS 7 was new!) and no longer carries any useful concepts or data. Don't bother. In fact, run, don't walk, away from this book.
