Linux System Programming
by Robert Love

# Paperback: 388 pages
# Publisher: O’Reilly Media, Inc. (September 18, 2007)
# Language: English
# ISBN-10: 0596009585
# ISBN-13: 978-0596009588

Product Description


This book is about writing software that makes the most effective use of the system you’re running on — code that interfaces directly with the kernel and core system libraries, including the shell, text editor, compiler, debugger, core utilities, and system daemons. The majority of both Unix and Linux code is still written at the system level, and Linux System Programming focuses on everything above the kernel, where applications such as Apache, bash, cp, vim, Emacs, gcc, gdb, glibc, ls, mv, and X exist.

Written primarily for engineers looking to program (better) at the low level, this book is an ideal teaching tool for any programmer. Even with the trend toward high-level development, either through web software (such as PHP) or managed code (C#), someone still has to write the PHP interpreter and the C# virtual machine. Linux System Programming gives you an understanding of core internals that makes for better code, no matter where it appears in the stack. Debugging high-level code often requires you to understand the system calls and kernel behavior of your operating system, too.

Key topics include:

* An overview of Linux, the kernel, the C library, and the C compiler
* Reading from and writing to files, along with other basic file I/O operations, including how the Linux kernel implements and manages file I/O
* Buffer size management, including the Standard I/O library
* Advanced I/O interfaces, memory mappings, and optimization techniques
* The family of system calls for basic process management
* Advanced process management, including real-time processes
* File and directories-creating, moving, copying, deleting, and managing them
* Memory management — interfaces for allocating memory, managing the memory you have, and optimizing your memory access
* Signals and their role on a Unix system, plus basic and advanced signal interfaces
* Time, sleeping, and clock management, starting with the basics and continuing through POSIX clocks and high resolution timers

With Linux System Programming, you will be able to take an in-depth look at Linux from both a theoretical and an applied perspective as you cover a wide range of programming topics.

Windows Server 2003 in a Nutshell
by Mitch Tulloch

# Paperback: 650 pages
# Publisher: O’Reilly Media, Inc.; 1st edition (August 2003)
# Language: English
# ISBN-10: 0596004044
# ISBN-13: 978-0596004040

Product Description


So you’ve decided to adopt Windows Server 2003? Whether you’re migrating from Windows 2000 or directly from Windows NT, Windows Server 2003 in a Nutshell is packed with the detailed information that you will need as you administer this OS. To-the-point chapters on migration highlight important new features such as enhancements to Active Directory, shadow volume copies, and Windows Update. Even better for experienced NT and 2000 admins are details about where Microsoft put familiar options, helping you quickly get oriented to the new platform. Those of you familiar with NT or Windows 2000 are well beyond the tutorial stage. Windows Server 2003 in a Nutshell delivers a no-fluff guide with two alphabetical references, one for the GUI and one for the command-line. The Task Map chapter lets you find look up a task (such as “troubleshooting startup issues”) to find appropriate topics in the references. Once you know where you’re going, the book offers numerous step-by-step procedures in highly condensed form. This quick lookup reference is ideal for administration and deployment, as well as deeper issues such as planning, configuring, and troubleshooting. The GUI chapter is organized by topic according to major themes of Windows Server 2003 administration, providing one-stop shopping for busy admins. For example, if you want to find out about Active Directory and how to manage it, you’d begin by turning to Active Directory. Each topic begins with a description of basic concepts, followed by a description of tools (such as Microsoft Management Console snap-ins) used to administer the feature, instructions on how to perform common or important administrative tasks, and notes detailing subtle points and potential gotchas. Windows Server 2003 offers greatly enhanced command-line administration, and the command reference prominently highlights the many new commands in this release. Dozens of new commands and scripts have been added for administration of Active Directory, disks, event logs, Group Policy, IIS, network diagnostics, the pagefile, printers, processes, shared folders, and the Registry. The result is a Windows operating system platform that now rivals Unix in its ability to support command-line and scripted administration. Microsoft has introduced the right server for a world now dominated by highly distributed systems and web-based server applications, and O’Reilly has written a book that will earn a prominent place on administrators’ desk tops.

C# in a Nutshell
by Peter Drayton (Author), Ben Albahari (Author), Ted Neward (Author)

# Paperback: 856 pages
# Publisher: O’Reilly; 1 edition (March 2002)
# Language: English
# ISBN-10: 0596001819
# ISBN-13: 978-0596001810

Product Description

C# in a Nutshell provides everything programmers need to know about the C# language in one concise and accessible volume. Designed as a primary reference for daily use, it also includes all the essential background information to become productive quickly. Not a “how-to” book or a rehash of Microsoft’s documentation, this book goes to the source of the C# language and the APIs of the .NET Framework to present the content in a way that professional programmers will value above all other books.

Brief introductions to the language and .NET runtime provide the needed preparation for programming with the C# language, whose keywords and syntax are then detailed in subsequent chapters. Next, C# in a Nutshell presents key namespaces and types of the .NET Framework base class library which provides much of the functionality and power of the language. Using C# examples, the .NET Framework covers each core area, including:

* Strings
* Collections
* XML
* Networking
* Input/Output
* Serialization
* Assemblies
* Reflection
* Custom Attributes
* Memory Management
* Threading
* Integrating with Native DLLs
* Integrating with COM Components
* Diagnostics

Determined to provide even more value, C# in a Nutshell moves into a comprehensive language reference, plus syntax, XML documentation tags, naming and coding conventions, and the various C# development tools–the kind of reference material programmers will use every day.

Next, an extensive and quick reference to the API is presented, featuring the System namespace. Particularly useful are the many figures and tables that present the main features of the namespace. For those looking create alternatives to Microsoft’s implementation of the C# Programming Language and the Common Language Infrastructure as submitted to ECMA (an international standards organization), each element included in the ECMA submission is clearly labeled. Finally, the entire reference is based on Version 1 of the .NET Framework and generated by tools written in the C# language itself.

Every once in a while, a book becomes the de-facto standard for a technology, operating system, or programming language–which is exactly what C# in a Nutshell aims to do in a single straightforward and easy to use volume.

Cisco Cookbook
by Kevin Dooley, Ian Brown

# Paperback: 908 pages

# ISBN-13: 978-0596003678

Product Description

While several publishers (including O’Reilly) supply excellent documentation of router features, the trick is knowing when, why, and how to use these features There are often many different ways to solve any given networking problem using Cisco devices, and some solutions are clearly more effective than others. The pressing question for a network engineer is which of the many potential solutions is the most appropriate for a particular situation. Once you have decided to use a particular feature, how should you implement it? Unfortunately, the documentation describing a particular command or feature frequently does very little to answer either of these questions. Everybody who has worked with Cisco routers for any length of time has had to ask their friends and co-workers for example router configuration files that show how to solve a common problem. A good working configuration example can often save huge amounts of time and frustration when implementing a feature that you’ve never used before. The Cisco Cookbook gathers hundreds of example router configurations all in one place. As the name suggests, Cisco Cookbook is organized as a series of recipes. Each recipe begins with a problem statement that describes a common situation that you might face. After each problem statement is a brief solution that shows a sample router configuration or script that you can use to resolve this particular problem. A discussion section then describes the solution, how it works, and when you should or should not use it. The chapters are organized by the feature or protocol discussed. If you are looking for information on a particular feature such as NAT, NTP or SNMP, you can turn to that chapter and find a variety of related recipes. Most chapters list basic problems first, and any unusual or complicated situations last. The Cisco Cookbook will quickly become your “go to” resource for researching and solving complex router configuration issues, saving you time and making your network more efficient. It covers:

* Router Configuration and File Management
* Router Management
* User Access and Privilege Levels
* TACACS+
* IP Routing
* RIP
* EIGRP
* OSPF
* BGP
* Frame Relay
* Queueing and Congestion
* Tunnels and VPNs
* Dial Backup
* NTP and Time
* DLSw
* Router Interfaces and Media
* Simple Network Management Protocol
* Logging
* Access Lists
* DHCP
* NAT
* Hot Standby Router Protocol
* IP Multicast

Product Description

The Java Cookbook is a comprehensive collection of problems, solutions, and practical examples for anyone programming in Java. Developers will find hundreds of tried-and-true Java “recipes” covering all of the major APIs as well as some APIs that aren’t as well documented in other Java books.

The Java Cookbook, like the bestselling Perl Cookbook, covers a lot of ground, and offers Java developers short, focused pieces of code that can be easily incorporated into other programs. The idea is to focus on things that are useful, tricky, or both. The book includes code segments covering many specialized APIs–like media and servlets–and should serve as a great “jumping-off place” for Java developers who want to get started in areas outside of their specialization.

The book provides quick solutions to particular problems that can be incorporated into other programs, but that aren’t usually programs in and of themselves.

Book Info
Reference and handbook for Java developers, offering a collection of recipes for solutions to common problems developers face with Java. Designed so that the recipes may be used as fodder for ideas, or as specific guidelines for solving problems. Softcover. DLC: Java (Computer Program Language).

It demonstrates how to use Photoshop for all aspects of print, from simpler tasks such as basic color correction and masking, to more advanced tasks such as color management, utilizing layer comps, and troubleshooting and automating RGB-to-CMYK color conversion.

Entirely four-color throughout, Mastering Photoshop for Print Design and Production fulfills the promise of the Mastering series, to provide real-world skills to professionals and students. Like all Mastering books, this one includes:

The emergence of XML is having an enormous impact on Web development, and scaling the learning curve of this new technology is a priority for many developers. The XML Bible offers a superb introduction to the subject and the groundwork to understand XML’s future developments.

Author Elliotte Rusty Harold uses a patient, step-by-step discussion that clearly points out the potential of XML without boring his readership with tons of SGML spec-speak. Harold opens quickly with a “Hello World” example to get the reader coding early, and follows that with a simple but powerful example of XML’s data management benefits–presenting baseball statistics. Once you’ve coded your first XML documents, you’ll be hooked on the technology and motivated to learn about the more sophisticated topics.

Style sheet languages are covered comprehensively to illustrate the presentation possibilities and pitfalls. An unusually long list of real-life XML applications also shows how XML is already being used, and there is in-depth coverage of the Resource Description Framework, Channel Definition Format, and Vector Markup Language. The book wraps up with a section that helps you design your own XML application from scratch.

Titling a book a bible is a bold move, but this engaging and informative guide is entitled to make this claim. –Stephen W. Plain

Topics covered: XML background, example XML applications, type definitions (DTDs), style languages, Xlinks, Xpointers, Namespaces, application planning, and XML 1.0 specification. –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
