A PMP certification is more than just passing a test. It means that you have the knowledge to solve most common project problems, and proves that you know your stuff. Once you're certified, your projects are more likely to succeed because you have the skills and knowledge to make them successful. Not only that, it can mean a better job, more money, and greater respect from your peers. But studying for a difficult four-hour exam on project management isn't easy, even for experienced project managers. You want to remember everything that you're learning about project management, but your brain is working against you! Your brain craves novelty, and most PMP certification prep books are anything but novel. When you keep putting down a boring book instead of studying, it's because your brain doesn't think the information in it is worth learning. Your brain has more important stuff to think about, like how to keep you alive and out of danger - and it doesn't think that failing the PMP exam qualifies as life-threatening! So how do you trick your brain into thinking that your life does depend on learning everything you need to know to pass the PMP Exam? "Head First PMP" is the answer!
Using the latest research in neurobiology, cognitive science and learning theory, "Head First PMP" has a visually rich format designed for the way your brain works - a multi-sensory experience that helps the material stick, not a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep. "Head First PMP" offers 100 per cent coverage of "The PMBOK[registered] Guide" principles and certification objectives in a way that's engaging, not tedious. This book helps you prepare for the PMP certification exam with a unique method that goes beyond answers to specific questions and makes you think about the big picture of project management. By putting project management concepts into context, you will be able to understand, remember, and apply them-not just on the exam, but also on the job. With "Head First PMP", you get the best of both worlds: a thorough and effective preparation guide for the PMP certification exam with hundreds of practice questions and exam strategies, along with puzzles, games, problems, exercises and the unique Head First approach that makes learning easy and entertaining.

Finally, there's a bright alternative to the legions of dull C# tutorials. "Head First C#" gives beginning programmers a way to learn Microsoft's popular object-oriented language without boring you with a pile of dry technical material. Through its visually rich format proven to stimulate both learning and retention, this unusual book takes you through C# fundamentals and how the language works to create user interfaces, databases, and more.You can forget about memorizing. "Head First C#" is strictly hands-on. From page one, you interact with the material through plenty of graphics, games, puzzles and more. Once you get the gist of several concepts presented, you apply what you've learned in a series of task-based labs interspersed throughout the book. And by the time you finish, you will actually understand C# so you can apply it in the real world."
Head First C#" teaches you all about:* object-orientation-building objects and learning how they relate to each other; variables - primitive data types, references, and custom data types; hashtables - how C# let's you save data in files and databases; user interfaces - simple rules for building interfaces that are intuitive and easy to use; exceptions - catching errors when they happen and writing code so there are fewer of them; good programming habits-refactoring, unit testing, and test-driven development; web services 101 - how your programs can get in touch with the rest of the world; debugging and deploying - catching bugs and building install packages.Every few chapters you will come across a lab that lets you apply what you've learned up to that point. Each lab is designed to simulate a professional programming task, increasing in complexity until-at last-you build a big honking application that puts everything together. This remarkably engaging book will have you going from zero to 60 with C# in no time flat.
