Hal Abelson, Ken Ledeen, Harry Lewis, “Blown to Bits: Your Life, Liberty, and Happiness After the Digital Explosion”
Addison-Wesley Professional | 2008 | ISBN: 0137135599 | 384 pages | PDF | 21,7 MB
“If you want to understand the future before it happens, you’ll love this book. If you want to change the future before it happens to you, this book is required reading.”
–Reed Hundt, former Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission
“There is no simpler or clearer statement of the radical change that digital technologies will bring, nor any book that better prepares one for thinking about the next steps.”
–Lawrence Lessig, Stanford Law School and Author of Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace
“Blown to Bits will blow you away. In highly accessible and always fun prose, it explores all the nooks and crannies of the digital universe, exploring not only how this exploding space works but also what it means.”
–Debora Spar, President of Barnard College, Author of Ruling the Waves and The Baby Business
“This is a wonderful book–probably the best since Hal Varian and Carl Schultz wrote Digital Rules. The authors are engineers, not economists. The result is a long, friendly talk with the genie, out of the lamp, and willing to help you avoid making the traditional mistake with that all-important third wish.”
–David Warsh, Author of Knowledge and the Wealth of Nations
“Blown to Bits is one of the clearest expositions I’ve seen of the social and political issues arising from the Internet. Its remarkably clear explanations of how the Net actually works lets the hot air out of some seemingly endless debates. You’ve made explaining this stuff look easy. Congratulations!”
–David Weinberger, Coauthor of The Cluetrain Manifesto and Author of Everything Is Miscellaneous: The Power of the New Digital Disorder.
“Blown to Bits is a timely, important, and very readable take on how information is produced and consumed today, and more important, on the approaching sea change in the way that we as a society deal with the consequences.”
–Craig Silverstein, Director of Technology, Google, Inc.
“This book gives an overview of the kinds of issues confronting society as we become increasingly dependent on the Internet and the World Wide Web. Every informed citizen should read this book and then form their own opinion on these and related issues. And after reading this book you will rethink how (and even whether) you use the Web to form your opinions…”
–James S. Miller, Senior Director for Technology Policy and Strategy, Microsoft Corporation
“Most writing about the digital world comes from techies writing about technical matter for other techies or from pundits whose turn of phrase greatly exceeds their technical knowledge. In Blown to Bits, experts in computer science address authoritatively the practical issues in which we all have keen interest.”
–Howard Gardner, Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education, Harvard Graduate School of Education, Author of Multiple Intelligences and Changing Minds
“Regardless of your experience with computers, Blown to Bits provides a uniquely entertaining and informative perspective from the computing industry’s greatest minds.
A fascinating, insightful and entertaining book that helps you understand computers and their impact on the world in a whole new way.
This is a rare book that explains the impact of the digital explosion in a way that everyone can understand and, at the same time, challenges experts to think in new ways.”
–Anne Margulies, Assistant Secretary for Information Technology and Chief Information Officer of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
“Blown to Bits is fun and fundamental. What a pleasure to see real teachers offering such excellent framework for students in a digital age to explore and understand their digital environment, code and law, starting with the insight of Claude Shannon. I look forward to you teaching in an open online school.”
–Professor Charles Nesson, Harvard Law School, Founder, Berkman Center for Internet and Society
“To many of us, computers and the Internet are magic. We make stuff, send stuff, receive stuff, and buy stuff. It’s all pointing, clicking, copying, and pasting. But it’s all mysterious. This book explains in clear and comprehensive terms how all this gear on my desk works and why we should pay close attention to these revolutionary changes in our lives. It’s a brilliant and necessary work for consumers, citizens, and students of all ages.”
–Siva Vaidhyanathan, cultural historian and media scholar at the University of Virginia and author of Copyrights and Copywrongs: The Rise of Intellectual Property and How it Threatens Creativity
“The world has turned into the proverbial elephant and we the blind men. The old and the young among us risk being controlled by, rather than in control of, events and technologies. Blown to Bits is a remarkable and essential Rosetta Stone for beginning to figure out how all of the pieces of the new world we have just begun to enter–law, technology, culture, information–are going to fit together. Will life explode with new possibilities, or contract under pressure of new horrors? The precipice is both exhilarating and frightening. Hal Abelson, Ken Ledeen, and Harry Lewis, together, have ably managed to describe the elephant. Readers of this compact book describing the beginning stages of a vast human adventure will be one jump ahead, for they will have a framework on which to hang new pieces that will continue to appear with remarkable speed. To say that this is a ‘must read’ sounds trite, but, this time, it’s absolutely true.”
–Harvey Silverglate, criminal defense and civil liberties lawyer and writer
Every day, billions of photographs, news stories, songs, X-rays, TV shows, phone calls, and emails are being scattered around the world as sequences of zeroes and ones: bits. We can’t escape this explosion of digital information and few of us want to–the benefits are too seductive. The technology has enabled unprecedented innovation, collaboration, entertainment, and democratic participation.
But the same engineering marvels are shattering centuries-old assumptions about privacy, identity, free expression, and personal control as more and more details of our lives are captured as digital data.
Can you control who sees all that personal information about you? Can email be truly confidential, when nothing seems to be private? Shouldn’t the Internet be censored the way radio and TV are? Is it really a federal crime to download music? When you use Google or Yahoo! to search for something, how do they decide which sites to show you? Do you still have free speech in the digital world? Do you have a voice in shaping government or corporate policies about any of this?
Blown to Bits offers provocative answers to these questions and tells intriguing real-life stories. This book is a wake-up call to the human consequences of the digital explosion.

Media Technology and Society: A History: From the Telegraph to the Internet
Routledge | 392 pages | 1998 | ISBN: 0415142296 | PDF | 1.2 mb
How are media born? How do they change? And how do they change us?
Media Technology and Society offers a comprehensive account of the history of communications technologies, from the printing press to the internet.
Brian Winston argues that the development of new media, from the telegraph and the telephone to computers, satellite and virtual reality, is the product of a constant play-off between social necessity and suppression: the unwritten law by which new technologies are introduced into society only insofar as their disruptive potential is limited. Winston’s fascinating account examines the role played by individuals such as Alexander Graham Bell, Gugliemo Marconi, John Logie Baird, Boris Rozing and Charles Babbage, and challenges the popular myth of the present-day “information revolution.”

Gary Walker - It Problem Management (Harris Kern’s Enterprise Computing Institute)
Pages:260 | PDF | Prentice Hall (März 2001) | ISBN 013030770X | 1,6 MB
Whether you manage in-house or outsourced IT operations, your problem resolution processes may be the #1 factor that will determine your ultimate success or failure. What’s more, help desks are increasingly called upon to “move up the food chain,” becoming true service centers capable of delivering complex, strategic solutions. Finally, there’s a single source for all the information you need to build world-class problem management processes — and deliver the value today’s enterprises are demanding.
Drawing upon extensive real-world consulting experience, Gary Walker presents specific process improvements IT organizations and outsourcers can make to achieve breakthrough results in their help desks and service centers. Walker reviews every key element of the problem management process, including problem identification, customer validation, problem logging, service delivery, knowledge capture and sharing, and finally, management review and oversight. Walker introduces the Immediate Response Model, which gives IT managers a formal way to account for request variability, complexity, and volume; shows how to use metrics to measure your progress; and offers guidance on creating and using service level agreements. The book includes a detailed chapter on tools for communications with customers, service delivery, and proactive monitoring, as well as opportunities to use the Internet and Integrated Voice Response (IVR) systems to empower customers. Finally, Walker addresses the human side of help desks and service centers, offering practical guidance on motivation.

Addison-Wesley Professional | 2004-09-25 | ISBN:0321228111 | 384 pages | PDF | 2,5 MB
The Parallel Programming Guide for Every Software Developer
From grids and clusters to next-generation game consoles, parallel computing is going mainstream. Innovations such as Hyper-Threading Technology, HyperTransport Technology, and multicore microprocessors from IBM, Intel, and Sun are accelerating the movement’s growth. Only one thing is missing: programmers with the skills to meet the soaring demand for parallel software.
That’s where Patterns for Parallel Programming comes in. It’s the first parallel programming guide written specifically to serve working software developers, not just computer scientists. The authors introduce a complete, highly accessible pattern language that will help any experienced developer “think parallel”-and start writing effective parallel code almost immediately. Instead of formal theory, they deliver proven solutions to the challenges faced by parallel programmers, and pragmatic guidance for using today’s parallel APIs in the real world. Coverage includes:
Understanding the parallel computing landscape and the challenges faced by parallel developers
Finding the concurrency in a software design problem and decomposing it into concurrent tasks
Managing the use of data across tasks
Creating an algorithm structure that effectively exploits the concurrency you’ve identified
Connecting your algorithmic structures to the APIs needed to implement them
Specific software constructs for implementing parallel programs
Working with today’s leading parallel programming environments: OpenMP, MPI, and Java
Patterns have helped thousands of programmers master object-oriented development and other complex programming technologies. With this book, you will learn that they’re the best way to master parallel programming too

Charles Carrington, Tim Speed, Juanita Ellis, Steffano Korper, “Enterprise Directory and Security Implementation Guide”
Publisher: Academic Press | 2002-08 | ISBN: 0121604527 | 272 pages | PDF | 1.87 MB
The Internet is connecting enterprises into a global economy. Companies are exposing their directories, or a part of their directories, to customers, business partners, the Internet as a whole, and to potential “hackers.” If the directory structure is compromised, then the whole enterprise can be at risk. Security of this information is of utmost importance.
This book provides examples and implementation guidelines on building secure and structured enterprise directories. The authors have worked with corporations around the world to help them design and manage enterprise directories that operate efficiently and guard against outside intrusion. These experts provide the reader with “best practices” on directory architecture, implementation, and enterprise security strategies.

Drupal 5 Themes: Create a new theme for your Drupal website with
a clean layout and powerful CSS styling
260 pages | Packt Publishing (December 31, 2007) | 1847191827 | PDF | 7 Mb
“One of the things we set out to accomplish was to create a resource. We put together a catalog of the system’s 20+ stylesheets and we go through all the default themeable functions. The information is organized logically and will make this a resource people can put on their shelf and turn to when needed. Being able to quickly lay your hands on the information concerning the styles and the themeable functions is a real time-saver.” - Ric Shreves, author.
Drupal is an award winning open source Content Management System. Based on PHP/MySQL, its power and flexibility combined with its exceptional design mean it is already on the way to becoming the de facto standard for CMS Websites. Drupal’s modular design and structured source code make it both highly flexible and easily extended and modified. Drupal is extremely scalable, making it ideal for both a simple personal website as well as an industrial strength commercial or institutional web presence.
Drupal is a model open source project in that it has a large, friendly community of people who contribute to the project in various ways. Drupal is not only free and easy to use, but this community provides on going mutual support.
This book is the ideal introduction to theming with Drupal 5. If you want to create a striking new look for your Drupal website, this book is for you. Starting from the basics of theme setup and configuration, you will learn about the Drupal theming architecture and the PHPTemplate engine, and then move on to modifying existing themes and building new themes from scratch. Included is a complete guide to the various style sheets and themeable functions in Drupal 5, making this book a valuable resource even to experienced theme developers. It covers:
Creating custom templates
Basics of theming in pure PHP
Modifying an existing PHPTemplate theme– a step-by-step guide
Creating a new PHPTemplate theme–a step-by-step guide
Working with forms
The main requirements to make use of this book are knowledge of HTML, CSS, and a touch of creativity! Although this book aims to make Drupal theming accessible to designers, theming in Drupal 5 involves writing some PHP code, and a basic knowledge of PHP will be helpful.

Russ Miller, Laurence Boxer, “Algorithms Sequential&Parallel: A Unified Approach”
Charles River Media | 2005-08-03 | ISBN: 1584504129 | 384 pages | PDF | 6,8 MB With multi-core processors
replacing traditional processors and the movement to multiprocessor workstations and servers, parallel computing has moved from a specialty area to the core of computer science. In order to provide efficient and cost-effective solutions to problems, algorithms must be designed for multiprocessor systems. Algorithms Sequential and Parallel: A Unified Approach 2/E provides a state-of-the-art approach to an algorithms course.
The book considers algorithms, paradigms, and the analysis of solutions to critical problems for sequential and parallel models of computation in a unified fashion. This gives practicing engineers and scientists, undergraduates, and beginning graduate students a background in algorithms for sequential and parallel algorithms within one text. Prerequisites include fundamentals of data structures, discrete mathematics, and calculus. FEATURES: • Discusses practical applications of algorithms (e.g., efficient methods to solve critical problems in computational geometry, image processing, graph theory, and scientific computing) • Provides information updated from the previous edition, including discussions of coarse-grained parallel computing • Mathematical tools are developed in the early chapters • Includes exercises at the end of each chapter that vary in difficulty, from confidence-building problems to research-oriented problems

Leland Wilkinson, “The Grammar of Graphics”
Springer | July 15, 2005 | ISBN: 0387245448 | 694 pages | PDF | 12,3 MB
This book was written for statisticians, computer scientists, geographers, researchers, and others interested in visualizing data. It presents a unique foundation for producing almost every quantitative graphic found in scientific journals, newspapers, statistical packages, and data visualization systems. While the tangible results of this work have been several visualization software libraries, this book focuses on the deep structures involved in producing quantitative graphics from data. What are the rules that underlie the production of pie charts, bar charts, scatterplots, function plots, maps, mosaics, and radar charts? Those less interested in the theoretical and mathematical foundations can still get a sense of the richness and structure of the system by examining the numerous and often unique color graphics it can produce. The second edition is almost twice the size of the original, with six new chapters and substantial revision. Much of the added material makes this book suitable for survey courses in visualization and statistical graphics.
“This fascinating book deconstructs the process of producing graphics and in doing so raises many fascinating questions on the nature and representation of information…This second edition is almost twice the size of the original, with six new chapters and substantial revisions.” Short Book Reviews of the International Statistical Institute, December 2005
“When the first edidtion of this book appeared in 2000 it was much praised. I called it a tour de force of the highest order. (Wainer, 2001), Edward Wegman (2000) argued that it was destined to become a classic. Now, six years later this very fine book has been much improved.” Howard Wainer for Psychometrika
“…The second edition is an impressive expansion beyond a quite remarkable first edition. The text remains dense and even more encyclopedic, but it is a pleasure to read, whether a novice or an expert in graphics…this book is a bargain…The second edition is a must-have volume for anyone interested in graphics.” Thomas E. Bradstreet for the Journal of the American Statistical Association, December 2006
“I find myself still thinking about the book and its ideas, several weeks after I finished reading it. I love that kind of book.” Mark Bailey for Techometrics, Vol. 49, No. 1, February 2007
