As you’d expect of Apple, the iPhone is gorgeous. iPhone: The Missing Manual is a book as breathtaking as its subject. Teeming with high-quality color graphics, each custom designed page helps you accomplish specific tasks � everything from Web browsing to watching videos. Written by New York Times columnist and Missing Manual series creator David Pogue
This book shows you how to get the most out of your new Apple iPhone. The name iPhone may be doing Apple a disservice. This machine is so packed with possibilities that the cellphone may actually be the least interesting part. The iPhone is at least three products merged into one: a phone, a wide-screen iPod and a wireless, touch-screen Internet communicator. The iPhone’s beauty alone may be enough for you to dig for your credit cards, but its Mac OS X-based software makes it not so much a smartphone as something out of the film “Minority Report.� The real magic, however, awaits when you browse the Web. You get to see the entire Web page on the iPhone’s screen. All of this is cooked up with Apple’s traditional secret sauce of simplicity, intelligence and whimsy. Written by New York Times columnist and Missing Manual series creator David Pogue, iPhone: The Missing Manual shows you everything they need to know to get the most out of your new Apple iPhone. Full of humor, tips, tricks, and surprises, this book teaches you how to extend iPhone’s usefulness by exploiting its links to the Web as well as its connection to Macs or PCs; how to save money using Internet-based messages instead of phone calls; and how to fill the iPhone with TV shows and DVDs for free.

Modern Banking focuses on the theory and practice of banking, and its prospects in the new millennium. The book is written for courses in banking and finance at Masters/MBA level, or undergraduate degrees specialising in this area.
Bank practitioners wishing to deepen and broaden their understanding of banking issues may also be attracted to this book. While they often have exceptional and detailed knowledge of the areas they have worked in, busy bankers may be all too unaware of the key broader issues. Consider the fundamental questions: What is unique about a bank? and What differentiates it from other financial institutions? Answering these questions begins to show how banks should evolve and adapt - or fail. If bankers know the underlying reasons for why profitable banks exist, it will help them to devise strategies for sustained growth.
Modern Banking concludes with a set of case studies that give practical insight into the key issues covered in the book:
* The core banking functions
* Different types of banks and diversification of bank activities
* Risk management: issues and techniques
* Global regulation: Basel 1 and Basel 2.
* Bank regulation in the UK, US, EU, and Japan
* Banking in emerging markets
* Bank failure and financial crises
* Competitive issues, from cost efficiency to mergers and acquisitions
* Case Studies including: Goldman Sachs, Bankers Trust/Deutsche Bank, Sumitomo Mitsui, Bancomer

This book will offer in-depth explorations of new features so that both experienced programmers and novices will feel comfortable making the transition to .NET. Although a major portion of the book is devoted to Internet applications, the book covers more general topics than many other books. Features of Visual Basic that will be explained include database access, controls, and best coding and practices. These features will be explored in detail, with extensive use of example programs and screen captures.
We feel that this book has something to offer for all skill levels. If you have never used Visual Basic before, the initial chapters provide the necessary step-by-step instructions to get you used to the Visual Studio programming environment. Users of previous versions of Visual Basic (experienced or not) will appreciate extensive, detailed coverage of the new features available in VB .NET and explanations of the changes from previous versions. Readers who are new to computer programming in general should note that technical details are sprinkled with “words of wisdom� and real-world examples to help you understand new concepts.
Some readers may need a reference to find information about a particular topic quickly. Other readers might want to follow the book in tutorial style by reading each chapter start to finish. Readers of Special Edition Using Visual Basic .NET should be able do either. Each topic is explained in a narrative fashion, with lists, pictures, and sample code to allow the reader to quickly absorb the technical details. For those seeking instant gratification, many chapters include exercises that provide step-by-step instructions to try out a particular topic on your own. Special Edition Using Visual Basic .NET is divided into six parts and a section of appendices.

This book provides the detailed guidance you need to make the right choices as you design and build enterprise-level applications with Visual Basic .NET. The author�a former member of the MS Visual Studio® .NET team with extensive experience in designing, testing, and optimizing enterprise applications�discusses the technical and architectural trade-offs you’ll face as you develop large, multitier, multideveloper distributed applications. He also shows how to create a workable enterprise infrastructure, and he reveals inside tips and techniques for implementation, performance tuning, and testing. You’ll find out how to take advantage of key state-of-the-art OOP features in Visual Basic .NET plus platform enhancements in MS .NET to develop serious enterprise applications quickly.
Most of what I’ll cover in this book applies to a broad spectrum of applications. Our discussion will focus on development for the enterprise, but you can use the advanced programming techniques and strategies presented here to write better and more sophisticated applications of all kinds in Visual Basic .NET. In addition, much of the techniques, technologies, and development approaches covered here apply equally well to all .NET languages, including C#.
This is not a design patterns book. This book will instead focus on how to use more advanced features of Visual Basic .NET and the .NET Framework to build into your applications common features that have in the past been too difficult to build in. Also, do not think that the purpose of this book is to make you an “enterprise developer.� This book provides a set of fundamental skills and technologies in an accessible fashion for the average developer. Think of this book as a stepping-stone to more advanced development topics.
There are two core audiences for this book: the novice Visual Basic .NET programmer and the classically trained Visual Basic developer who, already familiar with the Visual Basic .NET language, wants to see how new platform features can be and should be integrated into applications. Most of the material in this book is intended to be an extension of existing technical resources. If you’re expecting a ground-up introduction to Visual Basic .NET, you’ll be disappointed. I have an expectation that you have a basic familiarity with the language and platform. If you do not, there are plenty of excellent books from MS Press on the subject of Visual Basic .NET and I’d recommend starting there.

Creating secure code requires more than just good intentions.
Programmers need to know that their code will be safe in an almost
infinite number of scenarios and configurations.
Static source code analysis gives users the ability to review their work with a
fine-toothed comb and uncover the kinds of errors that lead directly to
security vulnerabilities. Now, there’s a complete guide to static
analysis: how it works, how to integrate it into the software
development processes, and how to make the most of it during security
code review. Static analysis experts Brian Chess and Jacob West look at
the most common types of security defects that occur today. They
illustrate main points using Java and C code examples taken from
real-world security incidents, showing how coding errors are exploited,
how they could have been prevented, and how static analysis can rapidly
uncover similar mistakes. This book is for everyone concerned with
building more secure software: developers, security engineers, analysts,
and testers.
Coverage includes:
- Why conventional bug-catching often misses security problems
- How static analysis can help programmers get security right
- The critical attributes and algorithms that make or break a static
analysis tool
- 36 techniques for making static analysis more effective on your code
- More than 70 types of serious security vulnerabilities, with specific
solutions
- Example vulnerabilities from Firefox, OpenSSH, MySpace, eTrade,
Apache httpd, and many more
- Techniques for handling untrusted input
- Eliminating buffer overflows: tactical and strategic approaches
- Avoiding errors specific to Web applications, Web services, and Ajax
- Security-aware logging, debugging, and error/exception handling
- Creating, maintaining, and sharing secrets and confidential
information
- Detailed tutorials that walk you through the static analysis process
