Book Reviews of Beginning TiVo Programming (Wrox Beginning Guides)
Book Review: Mac owners rejoice!
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a pretty decent book, even if it is slanted towards the Mac owner. Why do I say this? Well, one hysterical example here is that when talking about deploying a TiVo app they spend pages talking about how the Mac owner can do it, and give Windows users about a paragraph. Four per cent market share? Launch4j?
Fortunately they're working in Java, using the Eclipse IDE. So, most users can use most of the book.
As to the content, well, they give a good overviow of how to work with HME and Banana. They also have a very approachable overview of Java webstart applications, including things like jar signing, class loading, etc.
Missing bits? Well, I'd have appreciated a bit more development environment independence - development using Ant, rather than Eclipse. Also, I'd have appreciated a bit more talk about third-party servers that host TiVo projects. Made me want to do my own TiVo book. For APress, I guess.
All that said, if you're a Java developer, this is a decently written, really approachable book.
Thanks, guys.
