Modeling with UML, OCL, and IFML
Tuomo's rating:
  4.0
On May 6, 2014 Tuomo Kalliokoski wrote: Solid book delivering what it promises
The subtitle of this book is "Modeling with UML, OCL, and IFML". Before reading the book I had heard only about UML, and knew only the pure basics of it. Now with understanding of those other two I have more tools in my use for designing software. Full Review >

This is my second Make magazine and I found it disappointing. Most of the articles were either commercials to buy this or that, or in the case of the projects one has to download the actual guide to build it from the net. Full Review >

Dive Into the Portable Document Format

On Dec 3, 2013 Tuomo Kalliokoski wrote: Study guide for PDF standard.
This was another hard piece to review. The text flow was good, but not great. Book left bit too many open questions about PDF format for it being the only source when developing PDF output for program (luckily there are multitude of ready libraries for this in most of languages.)
It felt like a "study guide" for PDF standard rather than an independent work. Full Review >

Tools, Technologies, and Techniques for Making

5.0
On Oct 29, 2013 Tuomo Kalliokoski wrote: The subtitle "Tools, Technologies, and Techniques for Making" says it all.
This book is one of those rare beasts with a title, a subtitle and a back cover matching exactly what is inside of the book. With fewer than 300 pages the book goes from hammering a nail into soldering surface mount components. The book also succeeds in it, which is a small wonder. Full Review >

Learn (Just Enough) to Make (Just About) Anything
Tuomo's rating:
3.0
On Oct 20, 2013 Tuomo Kalliokoski wrote: Bit unsatisfactory, but still good
This book left me a bit unsatisfied. It has many good parts in it but fails to bring all together. The parts just don't make a coherent book. After saying this I do need so say that the parts themselves are informative and thought provoking. Full Review >

This book reuses parts from LEGO CREATOR Super Speedster (#5867) for creating 10 different vehicle models (well jury is still out for stroller). The book has more detailed bill of materials if you don't have the Speedster but you have other modern CREATOR sets.

On Aug 26, 2013 Tuomo Kalliokoski wrote: Killjoy
This book is a total killjoy for Python and programming. I had to stop reading it after 800 pages, which is about a half of this monster. The book tries to be all inclusive introductory to Python 2.7, Python 3, and to programming in general and fails miserably in all accounts. Full Review >
