Book Description

From the authors of the most phenomenally successful training series of all time comes a second huge collection of ice-breakers, brain teasers, problem solvers, and session closers that have been chosen to train for the skills today's companies are seeking. Included are games that teach employees how to continuous learning; exercises that enhance motivation, effectiveness, and speed in providing quality customer service; and activities that foster team-building. As in the previous books, each game has been field tested by professionals, most games can be played in under 30 minutes, and all the games can be implemented at little or no cost.

3 out of 5 stars Helpful resource that could be improved.......2007-05-14

The best thing about The Complete Games Trainers Play is its sheer size. Actually, it isn't nearly as big as some reviews imply. It is really around 1000 pages, not 2000+. And for some reason, a significant percentage of those pages are left blank. But even with that caveat, this is still a sizable resource.

If you are willing to devote 30+ minutes to finding an activity, you are sure to find one (or five) that are ideal for your training event. The fact that individual "games" can be removed from the ring binder is also helpful. This allows you to use the activities without carrying the whole book around, and to easily photocopy sheets for individual participants as some activities require.

However, there are some significant downsides. There is no real way to find appropriate activities without flipping through virtually the entire book. A large number of the activities aren't very good. And, most of the book is in a strange "typewriter" typeface that makes it look like it came from 1972. (Oddly, there are some pages which are randomly sprinkled through the book that use a different, more recent-looking typeface.)

To really upgrade its usefulness, Games . . . would benefit from taking a leap into the computer age. In other words, along with the printed book, a computer CD should be included. This could feature a good, searchable index, which is now lacking. It would also make it possible to print out games, and modify handouts on the computer to your organization's needs.

I've never bought any other resources like this, so I can't say if this is better or worse than others. I can say that in spite of the steep price and the drawbacks, I'm definitely glad I purchased it. It was very useful to me, and will be again in the future. However, there are a few simple steps the authors and publishers could take to greatly improve it.

5 out of 5 stars Trainers Dream.......2006-11-03

This is a great tool of Trainers. Keeping your trainees engaged throughout the training is always a challenge. This tool give creative ways to assess retention of information. The games are great and the administrative forms and suggestions are wonderful.

4 out of 5 stars Lots of games here.......2004-12-08

People love playing games a lot more than listening to lectures; this is indisputable. I didn't like all of the games listed here, but so what. Several I found helpful and intend to use.

2 out of 5 stars Not Impressed.......2003-09-30

Although there is a lot of information packed into this book, I was very unimpressed with the layout and visual design. It looks like it was typed up in 1970. The graphics are ancient and the layout is just one big binder with no cross-referencing or indexing available. To find a useful game, you have to sift through hundreds of pages. It really is a shame, as there are some clever games here to loosen up an audience.
Frankly for this price, I expected something a bit flashier and filled with reproducibles that I would want to copy and hand out. The way it looks now, and with it's unwieldy format, it's going to sit on my shelf.
If I hadn't spilled water on it, I would have sent it back for a refund.

4 out of 5 stars The Complete Games Trainers Play.......2000-05-23

This book was helpful in planning an in-house managment training session. The book is divided into sections making it easy to locate games targeted at specific areas. The book is actually a 3" 3 ring binder. It is a large book, however, it does contain a wealth of information.

Still a very popular programming language because of its speed and portability, C is used worldwide in a variety of programming projects. Teach Yourself C in 21 Days combines a basic tutorial of C with a working compiler to offer a quick tour for the experienced programmer and introduce beginners to the language.

Early chapters outline the role of the C programming language in today's computing and get you started on using C with the bundled Borland C++ 3.1 compiler (which allows you to build 16-bit C programs in both DOS and Windows 3.1 that will also run under Windows 95/NT). The tutorial format breaks up the task of learning C into 21 manageable lessons, starting with basic keywords, variables and data types, statements, expressions, and operators. Early sections also introduce the basics of building functions, the foundations of structured programming, flow control, and console I/O.

The trickier parts of C, including pointers and memory management, come after the basics. The authors take care to show the pitfalls of C while giving the reader plenty of hands-on examples. In the third week of tutorials, more advanced topics, such as linked lists and sorting algorithms, appear quickly along with a tour of the built-in functions of the C run-time library. Overall, this tutorial provides everything you need to know about the C programming language to get started (though it does not touch on Windows GUI programming and relies instead on command-line examples). --Richard V. Dragan

5 out of 5 stars Excellent.......2002-05-18

This is the first programming book I have read. At every stage of the book it has clearly explained the current topic and the chapters flow nicely together. The author seems to have been able to get into the mind of the beginning C programmer, and answers all those nagging questions. Every question the book raises for me is answered. I am really enjoying this book, I like its style and approach, and best of all it is actually teaching me something. Well done.

5 out of 5 stars The only book you'll need.......1999-08-18

I highly recommend this book and also the follow-up "Teach yourself Advanced C in 21 days". With these two books, you shouldn't need any other basic C books. As a C programmer since the early 80's, I've found no better books.

An excellent text which explains C quite clearly. The authors' concise writing styles make it easy to understand. Difficult topics like pointers are given good explanations. Sample/practice problems with answers, and debugging exercises provide a practical way to test your knowledge.

4 out of 5 stars La version en español es una buena obra.......1999-02-25

La version en español de este libro "Aprendiendo C en 21 dias" es un libro muy bueno para principiantes. Cuando lo adquirí, aprendí la escencia del C. A travez de sus capitulos tu puedes surcar los mares del poder en la programación. "Aprendiendo C en 21 dias" es un libro publicado por Prentice Hall en Mexico. Ojalá que este libro esté a la venta en Amazon.com.

3 out of 5 stars Not bad, but certainly not complete.......2000-12-09

The IIS4 test was my final test for MCSE certification. It was one of the hardest. I feel it was harder than the TCP/IP test. I used the Complete IIS Training Course and while it was informative, it was lacking. No one book is really a complete study guide. I used exam cram, rapid review, a Microsoft course book, transcenders flashcards, adminstering IIS, fast track IIS, and an accelerated IIS book. One of the best items for study/review of the IIS4 test is the study guide produced by [troytec] It has a summary of need-to-know facts and then over 200 Q & A which are good prep (when compared to the real test). If this was indeed the "COMPLETE" IIS training course, it should have been more depth.

4 out of 5 stars Complete... the name is correct........2000-05-03

I borrowed this book from a friend and found it very complete. You can read the book, go through the multimedia and even take the test all in one purchase. I can't wait to finish it and take the live test!
