Book review: The Audio Effects Workshop
How to explain the different kind of audio effects and how to understand what their use is? Although I learnt a lot by practice, there is sometimes the need for some theory and for experiments. I tried to find a book that matches these two points: good theory and proper practice. I’ve chosen this book, with tracks on a CD for experimentation. Was it really what I was looking for?

Book review: SONAR X1 Power!: The Comprehensive Guide
I think I’ve said it already, I have a rock band. Currently, we are recording our first album, and while we used Traktion in the past, I’m considering moving to Sonar (it is continuously updated and has a great reputation, also I’ve played a few time in the past with its ancestor Cakewalk).
So let’s talk about the book’s comprehensive guide.

Book review: Canon 7D: From Snapshots to Great Shots
It’s been a while since I’ve started considering buying a real photo camera. And I’ve decided on a Canon 7D. As usual, the user guide covers the camera, but I thought it would be better to have a more complete guide to the 7D.

Book review: Version Control by Example
A colleague of mine give me this book, as I use “third generation” VCSs. I decided to check on the author approach on Version Control and his opinion on the matter. The book explores the different approaches of the latest VCS tools, with their advantages and drawbacks. Also, it delves into some algorithmic designs of Distributed VCSs. I’ve already discussed some of these tools, but the book is not a flame war against one DVCS, but more an explanation of all of them.

Book review: Sage Beginner’s Guide
I heard about Sage when I started learning Python, but I never quite gotten in the bandwagon. Now, this Beginner’s Guide seems a good place to start.

Book review: C++ Concurrency in Action: Practical Multithreading
In the new C++ standard, multithread finally appears, with the old standard supported with TR2. This new addition has numerous implications on how programs are coded, and there are of course almost no book on this matter. This one is an exception.
Note: this review is not based on the final version that is now available (June the 28th), but on the MEAP one. There may be some differences between the final draft and the one I based my review on, although I don’t expect many, and certainly not any huge change.

Book review: Data Structures and Algorithms For Game Developers
It’s not the first time I start a book and I lay it down a few pages latter because the quality was low. I had to do this, because it was really a waste of time.
