Web applications no longer need be powered by any one individual's data, and they don't need to be confined to the desktop. Developers can draw on a wealth of publicly available content, from providers such as Flickr, Amazon, Google, Twitter, and Last.fm, and combine it for use in their own applications. Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR) makes it simple to bring previously web-only applications to the desktop, allowing them to run alongside traditional applications on an end user's computer.

In this book, you'll learn how to create mashup applications from the vast array of web services, feeds, and APIs using Adobe Flash and Flex together with HTML and JavaScript (Ajax). You'll be introduced to the various sources of information and the tools necessary to gather and reuse that information, and then you'll learn how to combine that content in a variety of ways.

You'll learn how to have desktop applications interact with online services such as Flickr, you'll learn how to use Amazon S3 for enterprise-level data storage, and you'll embrace technologies such as OpenID. In addition, you'll create abstract visualizations based on music sourced from Last.fm and consume Twitter content via RSS. You will also see how to use the Flash-native data format SWX along with PHP to create a Yahoo! weather widget.

You'll discover just why you may want to build a widget or a desktop application rather leaving things web-based; then you'll create an application using Flex Builder and AIR and learn how best to distribute it. With so many tools and so much data available, the possibilities for mashup creation are endless. Creating Mashups with Adobe Flex and AIR provides all you need to get you up and running quickly, while also giving you a solid understanding of the technologies involved so you can take things further—to a place limited only by your imagination.

• how to use Flex 3 in conjunction with ActionScript 3.0 to build powerful applications;
• how you can use Adobe AIR to take your application from the Web and onto the
  desktop;
• the differences between developing for the Web and for the desktop;
• how you can use the APIs of popular web services such as Flickr, Amazon, Google, Twitter, and Last.fm as data sources for your application; and
• how to optimize your applications for fast and efficient performance.

The importance of quality of service (QoS) has risen with the recent evolution of telecommunication networks, which are characterised by a great heterogeneity. While many applications require a specific level of assurance from the network; communication networks are characterized by different service providers, transmission means and implementer solutions such as asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), Internet protocol version 4 (IPv4), IPv6 and MPLS.

Providing comprehensive coverage of QoS issues within heterogeneous network environments, “QoS Over Heterogeneous Networks” looks to find solutions to questions such as does QoS fit within heterogeneous networks and what is the impact on performance if information traverses different network portions that implement specific QoS schemes.

An ideal book for graduate students, researchers and lecturers. System designers, developers and engineers will also find “QoS Over Heterogeneous Networks” a valuable reference.

This book is a fairly comprehensive resource on writing VBA code to exchange data among the main Office applications (Access, Word, Excel, and Outlook), using Access as the central application for storing data, and using the other applications for producing attractively formatted documents of various types.

By the time you have completed the Access 2007 VBA Bible, you will be well-prepared to write VBA Automation code that uses your Access data to produce Word letters, mailing labels and other documents (without the overhead of mail merge), to create Excel worksheets and PivotCharts, and to create Outlook appointments, mail messages, contacts, and journal items, with or without attachments. Additionally, you will be able to synchronize contact data (both ways) between Access and Outlook.

The book is written for the Access/Office developer or power user who is familiar with working with Office applications (particularly Access) in the interface, and has at least a basic familiarity with writing VBA code, but needs more information on how to write Automation code to work with Word, Excel, and Outlook objects, so as to be able to use each Office application for creating the documents that are its specialty, while storing most of the data in Access databases.

To run the sample code in this book, you need a computer capable of running at least Windows XP, and of course you need Office 2007. Because Office 2007 runs fine on Windows XP, you don’t need Windows Vista, but Office 2007 works even better on Vista.

CBT Nuggets Cisco CCSP - Exam-Pack 642-513: HIPS   Are you prepared for malicious attacks on your network? Rest easy with Cisco CCSP - HIPS.

This video series shows you how to configure and deploy Cisco Security Agent (CSA) Management Center (MC) — a terrific weapon for defeating attacks and gaining security piece of mind. Once CSA MC is installed, and your system is rebooted, it provides immediate protection for all the workstations, hosts and servers throughout your system.

The CSA MC is a vital part of Cisco's Self-Defending Network (SDN) strategy, which offers you a layered approach to network security. Threats, both internal and external, can't slip through your defenses just by defeating a single obstacle; CSA MC lets you put other layered security barriers in place to keep your system safe and secure.

HIPS includes Agent Kits, which ease your network administrator tasks by simplifying the installation process. This training shows you how to set up Agent Kits step by step.

Because this security strategy lets you group hosts as you please, you'll spend less time deploying software updates. It also provides variables, so you won't need to create the same security rules over and over again. Variables let you apply rules quickly throughout your network. And they also let you group similar components for easier management — such as data sets, file sets, network address sets, network services sets, registry sets, COM component sets and query settings.

Many security rules are common to both Windows and UNIX, but others are specific to one or the other. This training makes sure you know which is which and how to handle system-specific rules.

The training also goes into detail on event logging, report generation and monitoring applicant deployment behavior and investigation — vital topics for every security administrator.

In addition to giving you practical, hands-on instruction, the training in Exam-Pack 642-513: HIPS maps to exam objectives. It prepares you to describe, configure, and verify the Cisco Security Agent product for the simulation- and knowledge-based HIPS exam. Exam 642-513: HIPS is one of five exams required to earn the Cisco Certified Security Professional certification.

The CCSP-HIPS video series contains:

Prerequisites
A thorough understanding of Cisco networking such as a CCNA certification or equivalent knowledge is recommended before viewing these videos.

Here's what you'll learn in each video of the CCSP-HIPS series:

Video 1 - "Introduction to the Cisco HIPS Series" - Introduces you to Cisco Security Agent (CSA). Familiarizes you with the CCSP - HIPS 642-513 certification exam. Separates the exam content into five main domains and discusses the exam.

Video 2 - "Introduction to the CSA" - Walks you through CSA and its role in Cisco' Self-Defending Network (SDN). Describes how CSA works on workstations, hosts and servers to enforce the security of network traffic. You'll learn about CSA architecture, the features of CSA and CSA Management Center (MC) components. You'll also see a portrait of typical network attack and how CSA handles it.

Video 3 - "Configuring and Installing the CSA MC" - You'll learn about the CSA interface and how to configure security policies. (Understanding the interface is necessary to pass the exam.) Plus, you'll learn the CSA MC installation requirements.

Video 4 - "Installing the CSA Agent" - This video shows you how to customize CSA MC installation using installation kits. You'll learn system-specific installation requirements and how to use CSA to monitor system functions and analyze operations, and you'll see how CSA proactively blocks malicious activity attempts.

Video 5 - "Configuring Groups on the CSA MC" - This video provides an overview of groups and why to use them. It covers a variety of configuration topics, including: setting security requirements for groups of similar hosts; streamlining the process of assigning common policies to groups and sending out updates and alerts; configuring groups; and generating and distributing rule groups before policies take effect.

Video 6 - "The CSA Agent Kit" - Agent kits make your job as a network administrator easier. They simplify installing CSA (along with pre-existing security policies and rules) onto a host. Learn how to build agent kits step by step. This video walks you through agent kit status levels, rebooting options and controlling host registration by defining IP addresses.

Video 7 - "Host Management" - Protect yourself from structured and unstructured network attacks with effective policies. Learn how to generate solid security policies.

My goal in writing this book is to share with you some of what I know about Excel, and in the process, make you more efficient on the job. The book contains everything that you need to know to learn the basics of Excel and then move on to more advanced topics at your own pace. You’ll find many useful examples and lots of tips and tricks that I’ve accumulated over the years.

In this book, I’ve tried to maintain a good balance between the basics that every Excel user needs to know and the more complex topics that will appeal to power users. I’ve used Excel for nearly 20 years, and I realize that almost everyone still has something to learn (including myself). My goal is to make that learning an enjoyable process.

This book was written for Excel 2007 for Windows. No exceptions. If you’re using an older version of Excel, I suggest that you put down this book immediately and find a book that’s appropriate for your version of Excel. The changes in Excel 2007 are so extensive that you’ll probably be hopelessly confused if you use an earlier version.

The author of this book demonstrates that you can write well-designed, resilient code incrementally and safely, while minimizing your investment in speculative up-front design.

See eXtreme Programming (XP) in action at the hands of an XP mater—and learn Microsoft .NET and C# programming in the process! In this fast-paced, hands-on exposition, Ron Jeffries—one of the leading voices and practitioner in the XP community—demonstrates that you can write well-designed, resilient code incrementally and safely, while minimizing your investment in speculative up-front design. As Jeffries builds his sample application, you get firsthand insights into what successful XP development looks like, complete with real-world challenges such as the eleventh-hour change order. For further practice and study, you can download all the author’s code—including missteps—so you can see XP and agile concepts in action and assess how they fit into your own work.

This book is a chronicle of a little project done in the style XP recommends, insofar as I’m capable of doing what I teach. The project includes many of the things that befall real projects: people leave the project and come back, new people come in for a while, key people get sick, hard problems crop up, and so on. We even get a difficult “surprise” requirement. To make it even more difficult, I chose a programming language and environment that I had never used before the start of the project, namely C# and Microsoft Visual Studio .NET.

Learn to program a Flash based Mp3 music player using Actionscript 3. The Features List (and roughly what's taught) includes…

-Dynamically load track locations from a text document (or simply write them in the Flash file). Easily update your player without republishing by simply editing file names (like "track1.mp3" ) in a text document.

-Use ID3 tags (embedded meta-data) in the MP3 file to display track name, artist, album and year. All this player requires is the location of your MP3 file, you do NOT have to specify the track info yourself.

-Change the audio balance by sliding between the left and right speakers. This is the first two types of sliders you'll learn to programm, the volume slider is the second.

-Minimize or Maximize the player (using that triangle in the bottom right). Switch the player to a more compact mode while not choosing tracks. You can decide how much you want to mask out.

- Spectrum bars animate based on highs and lows of the left and right speakers. Yes finally a player with working spectrum bars. You can adjust the visuals for this to look however you want.

-You always have the option to change the visual appearance of the player. Tint it, stretch it, brand it, do whatever you want to the player art.

-Drag it! The entire player can be repositioned by dragging the shell.

This is already happening in the so-called "social networks" and peer-to-peer file sharing networks on the Internet—making this emerging topic one of the most active research areas in the wireless communications field.

This book bridges the gap between wireless networking and service research communities, which, until now, have confined their work to their respective fields. Here, a number of industry professionals and academic experts have contributed chapters on various aspects of the subject to present an overview of home networking technologies with a special emphasis on the user as the center of all activities. Coverage includes:

• Networked home use cases and scenarios

• Media format, media exchange, and media interoperability

• Location-aware device and service discovery

• Security in smart homes

• Secure service discovery protocol implementation for wireless ad-hoc networks

• Multimedia content protection in consumer networks

• Mobile device connectivity in home networks

• Unlicensed mobile access/generic access network

• Wireless sensor networks in the home

• Ultra-wideband and sensor networking in the home environment

With a balanced mix of practice and theory, Technologies for Home Networking focuses on the latest technologies for speedier, more reliable wireless networking and explains how to facilitate workable end-to-end solutions from a user's perspective. This book is an ideal resource for practicing engineers, designers, and managers with an interest in home networking and also serves as a valuable text for graduate students.

Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) is a web technique used to transfer data between a browser and server asynchronously without posting the web page to the server. "Asynchronously" implies that the processing of the web page continues while the Ajax request is sent to the server and a response is received from the server. The web page, or section(s) of the web page, is refreshed with the Ajax response without reposting the web page. Ajax has the following advantages over non-Ajax web applications.

- Reduced response time and reduced server load, as the complete web page is not reposted.

- Reduced bandwidth of web applications as only data is transferred and the HTML format is applied in the browser.

- Separation of data, format and style.

The book covers web search and RSS Feed with Ajax as well as form validation with Ajax frameworks for Java, JSP, JSF, and PHP. It discusses using Ajax in Oracle JDeveloper and is IDE based. JDeveloper has the following advantages over Eclipse IDE.

- JDeveloper 11g provides an integrated JavaScript Editor for Ajax/Web development.

- It also provides a PHP extension.

- JDeveloper has a built-in support for JSF and for JDBC.
