> General News

> ***O'Reilly is looking for User Group Members to submit book reviews to
> Slashdot.org Here is what they are looking for:
>
> "Choose a book that you enjoyed, hated, thought was worth the money, or
> definitely wasn't. Slashdot reviews cover a wide range of topics and
> styles, but this is "News for Nerds," so books by Danielle Steele or
> Oprah are unlikely to appear on the Slashdot home page. Also, use the
> Slashdot search engine to see whether the book has already been
> reviewed. Depending on circumstances, we may run more than one review
> of a single book. If more than one reviewer submits a review, we may
> only run the one we think is better, run both in full, or excerpt to
> present elements of both."

> For more information on their book review guidelines, go to:

> heads of many an IT professional. Of course, as soon as a brand new
> model starts being put to real use, problems show themselves. In this
> article, Chris Sells shows you how to solve these problems.
