Visual Lunar and Planetary Astronomy (The Patrick Moore Practical Astronomy Series)

Springer, 2013

With the advent of CCDs and webcams, the focus of amateur astronomy has to some extent shifted from science to art. Visual work in astronomy has a rich history. Today, imaging is now more prominent.

Inside COM+ Base Services (Microsoft Programming Series)

Microsoft Press, 1999

Assembly Language Step-By-Step

John Wiley & Sons, 1992

What astonishes me about learning how to program is not that it's so hard, but that it's so easy. Am I nuts? Hardly. It's just that my curse is the curse of a perfect memory, and I remember piano lessons. My poor mother paid $600 in 1962 for a beautiful cherrywood spinet, and every week for two years I trucked off to Wilkins School of Music for a...
