A legendary NBA player and beloved teammate shares his hard-earned wisdom about finding your true purpose and mastering your inner game, whatever that game might be. Chris Bosh is on any list of the Top 100 NBA players of all time--an eleven-time All Star, two-time Finals winner, Olympic gold medalist, and currently the league's Global Ambassador. Always an uncommonly philosophical NBA star, he found himself needing all the mindfulness he could muster in 2017, when his career was cut short at its prime by a freak medical condition. Suddenly, he was thrown out of the work that had given so much more than just a livelihood, and had to think deeply about his identity in the world. This game had taught him so much; what could he make of it all? Out of that place of deep reflection has emerged an uncommon book for a retired superstar to write. While it has the best elements of a memoir--the portraits of the great players and coaches, from LeBron and Kobe to Pat Riley and Coach K, and the accounts of extraordinary competitive moments--it is really a wisdom book, a blend of The Inner Game of Tennis, Wynton Marsalis's To a Young Jazz Musician, and Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet. It is rich with insight about basketball, but even richer with insight about life. It's a book about finding a purpose that is deep and real, not shallow and external, and about navigating success and failure as the twin mirages they are--pushing past fear, past ego, past fatigue to the pure flow of sustained accomplishment in a mesh with teammates who have given themselves to the same thing. Chris Bosh found that flow, and sustained it at the highest level. He misses basketball keenly still, but he has no regrets. Deep, honest, unflinching, this book is his friend's hand up to those coming up behind, whatever their pursuit might be.Shipping Notes

Good Information, But Poorly Made
Format: Paperback
Educational and I was getting it to assist with getting my PMP. However my only criticisms about the book is that there is a ton of empty space on the pages. I think there would’ve been a better more environmentally friendly way to compact the information in the book. In addition it is very hard to read the book when the spine is constantly spreading apart. I’m afraid that the book pages are going to rip off one time or another. They haven’t yet but it is a concern.

Agile Practice Guide
Format: Paperback
Una muy buena compra para tener como guia repaso de los conceptos mas importantes de las metodologías agiles, y que variables tener en cuenta a la hora de encarar un proyecto y definir con que metodología se gestionará el mismo.
En un mundo en donde todos quieren IMPONER metodologías que todavía no entienden muy bien pero estan de moda, es una muy buena herramienta para entender cuando es valido hablar de metodologías agiles, de cuando hablamos de metodologías hibridas, o inclusive discutir si no es un approach mas eficiente el de ejecutar una metodología waterfall o lineal.
100% recomendado.

Excellent Introduction to SQL
Format: Paperback
I am compelled to share my overwhelmingly positive experience with the SQL Quickstart Giude which has proven to be an exceptional resource for anyone wanting to delve into the world of SQL coding.
First and foremost, the book is written in an extremely accessible manner, deftly simplifying complex concepts into digestible portions for beginners, yet providing deeper insights for seasoned developers. It transcends the barrier of technical jargon, presenting information in an intuitive, reader-friendly style.
However, the true selling point of this book, which separates it from the plethora of SQL resources available in the market, is the ingenious inclusion of its online resources. This addition enhances the book's value immeasurably, allowing the reader to step beyond the theoretical and put their knowledge into practice immediately.
The online resources that accompany the book provide a unique learning ecosystem, an ideal blend of theory and practice. They offer a plethora of well-organized and insightful coding examples for each chapter, which are also available for download. This allows the readers not only to work along as they learn but also to experiment and implement their own iterations of the code. This hands-on approach cements the concepts learned in a way that theoretical learning alone cannot.
Moreover, these downloads enable offline access, which ensures that you can learn at your convenience, a feature that not many SQL books offer. This aspect of anytime, anywhere learning is crucial in our current fast-paced world.
Furthermore, the author provides ample exercises to test your understanding, which are then complemented by detailed solutions on the online platform. This real-time feedback is instrumental in understanding one's progress and identifying areas for improvement, which paves the way for a confident and competent SQL programmer.
In conclusion, the "SQL Quickstart Guide" with its companion online resources has proven to be an unbeatable combination for learning SQL. It has created a learning experience that is seamless, engaging, and, most importantly, effective. It is a rare gem in a field often dominated by dense, inaccessible texts and I would highly recommend it to anyone wishing to embark or advance their journey in SQL programming.

Easy to follow, well written book. Can easily be used in liue of a textbook. Get spiral edition.
Format: Spiral-bound
Walter Shields does a fantastic job of writing this book from a perspective that a reader will have no clue on databases, or SQL. I'm a former Database programmer, but after being away for so many years I had to come back to SQL, and I needed a reference quick. Everything is written in a step by step easy to swallow informational way that leaves no room for failure. Even the examples are fantastic. This book is compatible with opensource SQL so need to pay for anything but the book.
Get the spiral edition, it lays flat on the table and is easier to follow.
Unlike McGraw Hill, Cengage, Thomson Course Technology, this book doesn't expire and block you from buying a used copy to prevent you from downloading the files needed to learn.
A fantastic reference, a great book, timeless because it doesn't expire.

SQL qsg book
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I've taken a couple classes on SQL some time ago and was looking for a book to go over basics. This is a perfect book to start with the basics of understanding how to write a SQL query. I really liked that there is a free database to use in SQLite to follow along with the examples in the book. That was very helpful for me. I appreciated the tips throughout the chapters and the practice questions at the end. Easy to read and follow.
