Generic.......2004-12-31
I bought this book and returned it after I saw that it had nothing to teach the more learned users of Premiere. I was really dissapointed when I saw that it couldn't tell me how to sync a fast-paced video with multiple scenes, just the usual scrubbing technique.
Simply Informative.......2004-01-03
I read this book thinking okay this is a good book just like some of the other adobe premiere books I own, but it's not that it's a good read it's a great reference. I come back to this book time and time again.
It's great, and the CD actually works! (gasp!).......2003-10-31
If you want to actually learn Premiere, get this and you may forget all the rest. Not only will you learn Premiere , but you'll learn much more about pragmatic video production. Great book! Thanks Kennedys whoever you are.
videography for mortal, musicians, and non-techies.......2002-07-12
This book provides guidelines for producing a music video in a cost effective yet aesthetically pleasing way. It examines other videos from major artists, and provides the average mortal with information and techniques so that they can accomplish the many technical details needed to make an original music video. Chapters on preparing content for the web and for distribution make this book a very complete treatise on the many facets of adobe premiere. highly reccomended.

Does not talk about very important facts........1998-08-04
A good book, but does not talk about adding sound to music videos using modern VCRs. It only says to check in the VCR manual about audio dubbing. However, shows your how to create a great script.
Book Description
This new edition represents a significant update of the best-selling book, incorporating and anticipating the major developments in distributed systems technology. All chapters have been thoroughly revised and updated, including emphasis on the Internet, intranets, and middleware. New material includes coverage of large-scale applications, fault modeling and fault tolerance, models of system execution, object-orientation, and distributed multimedia systems. Discussion of security has also been brought forward in the book and integrated with other related technologies. The book includes a new chapter on distributed multimedia systems, and also provides new material on current network technologies such as IPv6, Mobile IP, and active and wireless networks. Throughout, Java and CORBA are used as the basis for most examples. This book is designed for programmers who need to learn the principles and practice of distributed system design. Readers should have an understanding of programming and elementary computer architecture, as well as a familiarity with basic operating system concepts, but the book does not require knowledge of networks.
Customer Reviews:
Good book.......2007-03-17
I use this book as a teacher, I find it very complete and simple to understand, RMI examples are fine and good to improve the learning about distributed systemps.
I'm giving this book 4 stars, this book is good and perfect as an introductory learning but I have had often to complement the content using another books as well (like Distributed Systems: Principles and Paradigms (2nd Edition))
Hard to understand.......2007-02-28
+ sturdy construction
+ intro to many topics
+ problems at end of chapter have page reference of the answer
- shallow coverage of too many topics
- some key learning points are left to the student in an intro book
- poor formatting and organization
= an intro book that doesn't build enough on the foundations and tries to cover too much in this growing field
Not what I expected!.......2007-02-06
This book bears litthe relevance to the 'original' fourth edition book of the same name. There is no coordination with the text. Most of the concepts are explained in terms of economics not computer science, I have to wonder if the whole idea is a gross mistake or a scam. I feel cheated.
Comment on 'CSI' review.......2006-07-24
This is not really a review but a comment on one of the other reviews. I noticed that the same review for "Computer Sci Instructor 'CSI'" appears for both the 3rd and 4th editions. I don't know if his review was only entered for one of the editions, but that Amazon erroneously entered it in both editions. Perhaps, he copied the same review for both editions since he felt the same comments applied to both.
I have not read this book. I am only responding as a result of reading the various comments on these books and others on distributed computing. I rated this book as 4 stars because this field was a required item and I cannot find a mechanism to simply respond to a review (with sufficient explanation) without entering a review myself. Note, I gave it a 4 star in keeping with the average rating.
Lots of content - but very wordy and reader unfriendly.......2005-12-09
I had adopted this book to teach Distributed Systems to a senior level undergrad class. I think I may have made a mistake, not knowing before hand how hard it would be for me to read this book (despite having some background in distributed systems). The students constantly complained of it being too "Wordy" and "vague". Few generic figures and mostly all text that seemed to be a rehash of several IEEE/ACM papers without giving sufficient examples or explanation. Some times, the authors did indeed explain some concepts with examples. At other times, they just left the concepts in vague mathematical notation or arcane definitions expecting the readers to make sense of it. While the english is grammatically correct, it is written in such a stuffy academic style that I found myself having to read most paragraphs twice or thrice before I could figure out what the author was trying to say. At times, I was thinking the authors should have been lawyers instead. (If the authors are reading this .. please consider the maxim: A picture is indeed worth a thousand words). A side note: I am not averse to reading academic papers. I do that all day long. But I just don't think a textbook should be written in that style.
On the pro side: This book has lots of content related to distributed systems - and that was one of the reasons I adopted it. However, what's the point if that content is unreadable? My recommendation would be other books such as Tanenbaums Distributed Systems book (it has lesser content, but more readable and suited for undergraduate level).
I give it high marks for the good content, but very low marks for the style of narration and presentation.

Great job..........2001-01-27
I am a faculty member in Computer Science at Georgia Southwestern State University, USA. I have used this book for a course on Distributed Operating Systems for graduate students. During the process of selecting a book for this course, I have looked into a number of books on this topic. Finally I selected this book due to the following reasons: 1. The content is clear start from the beginning. 2. Same (lucid) style of explanation throughout the book. 3. The material is complete in so many aspects. 4. Up to date (till the date of publication). 5. A clever student can read it and understand on his/her own.
What else I want? Great job!!
I am looking forward for the second edition of this book!

Great Organisation and content.......1999-03-03
Concepts and coverage is excellent for learning and the content are not too in-depth especially towards a student. Cover areas like file organisation as well as memory management which is lacking in many similar topic publications. Chapters discussed are comprehensive and relevant to learners in these fields. Diagrams are illustrative and easy to understand. A good choice especially to students that are beginners in operating systems concepts.

Highly Recommended..........2003-10-17
This book has all the right material (and more). I found the topics to be presented in a straightforward and easy to understand manner just as most here have said. There's even a glossary and a list of acronyms provided which is a helpful tool. What else could you want? I would highly recommend checking this one out. Oh, and the couple naysay blurbs here are nonsensical as this has got to be one of the best books in its class.
Helped me land!.......2003-04-10
Let's face it ... the IT market is near the bottom. A colleague (or should I say former colleague) handed me this book to 'freshen' up before that all important interview. It was quick and easy to read and helped me put some meat behind what I had been doing as well as articulate and formalize my knowledge. I think this is exactly what gave me the edge in the interviews (endless rounds of interviews). Now I not only landed but went from a senior engineer to a chief architect with a bump in pay. I just grabbed a copy for myself as I'm sure this is one book I will be referring to quite often. All in all - content wise I'd highly recommend this book. On the part of editing - well - not the best but the content is what I needed and got.

STAY AWAY....Poorly edited and very terse.......2003-04-03
While this book covers a lot of the areas pertaining to distributed OSes, it is very tersely worded and I have to wonder what monkey edited it. At least 1/2 of the pages contain grammatical errors. Figures are also stunningly frequently mislabeled. There is no way anyone should use this book until these errors are fixed for either a text or their own information.
Contentwise, the book assumes that you remember everything from your basic OS class, it doesn't explain ANYTHING that would normally be covered by a more basic OS book. This doesn't cut the mustard because not every professor covers every topic relating to normal OSes in Intro to OS(also, this book may be used at the masters level where it is possible that its been 10 years since the student has taken intro to os). It may be ok for a quickie reference into possible algorithms, but as an actual learning guide it stinks.
Sadly, I can't give this 0 stars.
Clear and Practical in a Computer System Book! Bravo!.......2001-01-10
Let me tell you, I bought this book after seeing the author speak at N+I in Las Vegas and boy am I glad I did. Refreshingly different, it was not only clear and to the point but practical as well. It was easy to tell Galli has been there and done it and it really helped me get it. Some books are so fluffy and try to bury you in useless theory without relating it to what we need to know when we design and develop real systems in the Internet space. Not this one. As a bonus, the glossary and acronym list was quite helpful since I didn't have to figure out where the word was defined when I jumped to a topic using the index. Great for spot reading.
On a school note, I took a course for my M.S. that used the Tanenbaum book. This overall was much more helpful. Actually some of my classmates couldn't figure out why I knew what was going on in class so quickly. I would say, scrap the class book and grab this one. Sure there are some typos as people mentioned in their reviews but at least the material can readily be understood. If only other computer authors could be understood this easily.
JMHO.
Lots of buzzwords and names but no analogies!.......2000-11-30
The trouble with a book like this is that it expects you to just know, somehow, perhaps by intuition, what a term or name means. Really good authors like Andrew Tanenbaum relate the concepts to each other gradually, and to real world ideas. This is what I mean that Galli's book has no analogies. "This is like this, but not like this..." After reading just a few paragraphs, my head is swimming with undefined names and unresolved references. The end result is utter frustration and no deep understanding of anything. This book looks good but looks are SOOOOO deceiving! Don't waste your time with it.

Book Description
The papers present in this text survey both distributed shared memory (DSM) efforts and commercial DSM systems. The book discusses relevant issues that make the concept of DSM one of the most attractive approaches for building large-scale, high-performance multiprocessor systems. The authors provide a general introduction to the DSM field as well as a broad survey of the basic DSM concepts, mechanisms, design issues, and systems.
The book concentrates on basic DSM algorithms, their enhancements, and their performance evaluation. In addition, it details implementations that employ DSM solutions at the software and the hardware level. This guide is a research and development reference that provides state-of-the art information that will be useful to architects, designers, and programmers of DSM systems.

An excelent compilation of articles on the subject of DSM.......1998-12-04
I was amazed with this title. A very comprehensive selection of articles on DSM, giving the reader an inside look to the state of the art of distributed memory. Very good editors introductions to chapters, explaining the articles by other authors.
The only problem is that the book does not mention the articles published after 1997. But comprehensive discussion helped me understand later research.
