“The flip-side of Patterns, AntiPatterns provide developers with formal descriptions of common development gaffes that can derail a project along with practical guidelines on how to avoid them. In this book, the authors present dozens of Java AntiPatterns that tackle many of Java’s biggest trouble spots for programming with EJB, JSP, Servlets, and more. Each AntiPattern is documented with real-world examples, code, and refactored (or escape-route) solutions, and the book uses UML (where appropriate) to diagram improved solutions. All code examples from the book are available to the reader on the book’s companion Web site.”

Programming and Problem Solving with Java™ is an excellent resource for discovering Java as a first programming language. After introducing the very basics of programming, the text provides detail on Java syntax, semantics, classes and objects, and then continues with coverage of arithmetic expressions, selection and encapsulation, file objects and looping statements, and object oriented software design and implementation. With an unparalleled clarity of expression, the authors then introduce inheritance, polymorphism, and scope, as well as event-driven input and output, arrays, and recursion. Through the case studies, exercises, and programming examples, readers develop a secure foundation for future study, and a true understanding of what an object is, how it works, and what constitutes a well-designed class interface.
When purchased new, the book includes the Student Resource Disk for Java, a CD-ROM that features the following:
Borland® JBuilder™ 7 Personal
The Sun Java™ 2 SDK Standard Edition v. 1.4.1
The Sun Java™ SDK Standard Edition Documentation

Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a general-purpose notation language for specifying and visualizing complex software, especially large, object-oriented projects. Object-oriented programming is when a programmer defines not only the data type of a data structure, but also the types of operations/functions that can be applied to the data structure.
Applying UML addresses the practical issues faced by users in adopting UML. As the title suggests, it helps the reader in actually applying UML to real life situations, rather than just in learning the language. The book covers in depth detail of UML, including notation on profiles and extensions. The scope of the book assumes prior experience in software engineering and/or business modeling, an understanding of object-oriented concepts and a basic knowledge of UML.
* Case study driven approach covering a wide range of issues
* Contains advanced tutorial material to aid learning
* Focuses on practical issues in the application of UML

Book Description
"a new twist on the eternal question of inequitable income distribution, though they focus on wealth (accumulated income) rather than income. The authors document the dramatic disparities in the distributions of income and wealth and describe the problems these cause. Their solution, the `alternative distribution system," is quite simple: tax inheritance rather than estates. Individuals could inherit up to $1 million tax free. Each succeeding million would be taxed at progressively higher rates. This plan, they argue, would force an estate to be distributed among more people and would cuase beneficiaries to use inheritances more `vigorously and creatively.' The authors do an excellent job of making obscure economic data understandable." Booklist

All of the essays in the series' eighth year exhibit a timeless prose in the midst of meeting deadlines. But many also resonate with a special sense of timeliness, such as the insightful Rules of Engagement by William Langewiesche, a detailed study for Vanity Fair of the U.S. massacre of Iraqi citizens in the town of Haditha. Other essays have a similar sense of urgency: Inside Scientology by Janet Reitman for Rolling Stone—the result of a nine-month investigation—is a terrific and balanced look at an organization whose top leaders assert that false ideas, including the concepts of God, Christ, and organized religion, date back 75 million years to the work of an evil galactic warrior named Xenu. C.J. Chivers's The School for Esquire is a harrowing account of the three-day siege by Chechen terrorists of a grammar school in the Russian town of Beslan.

Review
`this important and exciting work breaks completely new ground ... a masterly examination of Russell's work up to 1913 ... Hylton provides a superb account of how Russell's responses to the difficulties of Platonic Atomism have shaped so much of analytic philosophy ' Heythrop Journal
`It presents clearly and defends cogently a number of detailed, scholarly and sensitive readings of Russell's earlier philosophical works.' Times Literary Supplement
`the overall conception and achievement is extraordinary. Hylton's book provides an exemplary contribution of scholarship, lucidity, and imagination. He sets a new standard for all subsequent discussions of Russell's philosophy' Journal of Philosophy
`When such an author, who also writes as clearly and lays out his arguments as straightforwardly as Hylton does, ... it is something from which I can benefit.' History and Philosophy of Logic
'this important and exciting work breaks completely new ground ... a masterly examination of Russell's work up to 1913 ... Hylton provides a superb account of how Russell's responses to the difficulties of Platonic Atomism have shaped so much of analytic philosophy' James Bradley, The Memorial University of Newfoundland, The Heythrop Journal, April 1993, Volume 34, Number 2
`This is a wonderful example of an emerging genre ... Helpfully, Hylton's treatment is both sympathetic enough to help us see how Russell could have been attracted to idealism and critical enough to make the later reaction against if plausible ... Hylton ... wisely focuses on those aspects that are most helpful to the intended audience - philosophers ... In this Hylton is plainly doing philosophy, and the entrenched distinction between doing philosophy and reporting it as history breaks down. There are many ways to do philosophy and many ways to convey its history. Here is one way to do them both - and to do them both well.' The Philosophical Review

"Fully aligned with the standard, it covers the development, implementation and assessment of quality systems - perfect for the quality professional on the move or as a memory jogger when preparing that all important proposal or audit." Quality World, Dec 2002
They may not get thrown to the lions any more, but today's Christians endure subtler forms of martyrdom, argues this strident manifesto. Limbaugh (Absolute Power: The Legacy of Corruption in the Clinton-Reno Justice Department) recites a litany of abuses and insults perpetrated, he claims, by separation-of-church-and-state absolutists and the forces of secular humanism. Most of them are familiar complaints of the Christian Right: school children are forbidden to pray before football games; nativity scenes are banned from municipal property; the media ridicule Christian politicians, and Hollywood caricatures Christians as Bible-thumping yahoos or axe-wielding fanatics. At universities where Darwinism, relativism and "sexuality studies" hold sway, Limbaugh says, vocal Christians get packed off to the psych ward. Most insidiously, Christians are continually subjected to sensitivity training-which often promotes a "homosexual agenda"-and silenced when they object. Many of the cases Limbaugh cites raise legitimate questions about society's hypersensitivity to religious expression (although the really serious abuses were often remedied after the inevitable lawsuit). Unfortunately, he tends to equate political controversy with religious bigotry, and Christianity with fundamentalism. Many of the issues he cites, like Democratic opposition to pro-life judicial nominees, or laws requiring Catholic employers to cover contraceptives in health insurance, amount to political disputes pitting conservatives like Limbaugh against liberals, feminists, gays or users of contraceptives, with Christians ranged on both sides. Limbaugh has a point: there are anti-Christian tendencies-rigid school bureaucrats, militant atheists and an often profane and irreligious popular culture-in American society. But there are plenty of pro-Christian tendencies too, such that Limbaugh's persecution complex seems overblown.

Эта книга – подробное руководство по бухгалтерскому и налоговому учету тех видов расходов, которые встречаются в практике любой организации. Особенность книги в том, что автор уделяет внимание не только налогу на прибыль, но и всем другим налогам, исчисление которых связано с конкретными видами расходов. Например, при осуществлении представительских расходов проблемы возникают не только с признанием в целях налогообложения прибыли, но и с определением налоговой базы по ЕСН и НДФЛ.

German | PDF | 209 Seiten | Springer, Berlin; Auflage: 1 (Februar 2007) | ISBN: 3540482512 | ~1,5 MB
Zum Schutz von IT-Systemen vor Angriffen werden vermehrt Intrusion-Detection-Systeme eingesetzt, die eine Missbrauchserkennung realisieren, indem beobachtete Systemereignisse mit bekannten Angriffsmustern verglichen werden. Der praktische Einsatz dieser Systeme ist häufig von Fehlalarmen und nicht entdeckten Angriffen geprägt, deren Ursache in unzureichenden Angriffsmustern liegt.Der Autor stellt Ansätze zur Steigerung der Wirksamkeit von Missbrauchserkennung im praktischen Einsatz vor. Er untersucht systematisch Anforderungen an die Repräsentation von Angriffsmustern und entwickelt einen an Petri-Netze angelehnten Ansatz zur graphischen Modellierung, Veranschaulichung und Erkennung von Angriffsmustern. Der Vergleich von Erkennungsverfahren und die Darstellung von Optimierungsstrategien zur Steigerung der Erkennungseffizienz runden das Buch ab.

Turing Machines with Sublogarithmic Space
Andrzej Szepietowski “Turing Machines with Sublogarithmic Space "
Springer | 1994-09-29 | ISBN: 3540583556 | 115 pages | PDF | 5,8 Mb
This comprehensive monograph investigates the computational power of Turing machines with sublogarithmic space. The studies are devoted to the Turing machine model introduced by Stearns, Hartmanis, and Lewis (1965) with a two-way read-only input tape and a separate two-way read-write work tape. The book presents the key results on space complexity, also as regards the classes of languages acceptable, under the perspective of a sublogarithmic number of cells used during computation. It originates from courses given by the author at the Technical University of Gdansk and Gdansk University in 1991 and 1992. It was finalized in 1994 when the author visited Paderborn University and includes the most recent contributions to the field.
Designing Information Technology in the Postmodern Age: From Method to Metaphor
Richard Coyne “Designing Information Technology in the Postmodern Age: From Method to Metaphor"
The MIT Press | 1995-09-28 | ISBN:0262032287 | PDF | 408 pages | 1,8 Mb
Designing Information Technology in the Postmodern Age puts the theoretical discussion of computer systems and information technology on a new footing. Shifting the discourse from its usual rationalistic framework, Richard Coyne shows how the conception, development, and application of computer systems is challenged and enhanced by postmodern philosophical thought. He places particular emphasis on the theory of metaphor, showing how it has more to offer than notions of method and models appropriated from science.
Coyne examines the entire range of contemporary philosophical thinking -- including logical positivism, analytic philosophy, pragmatism, phenomenology, critical theory, hermeneutics, and deconstruction -- comparing them and showing how they differ in their consequences for design and development issues in electronic communications, computer representation, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and multimedia. He also probes the claims made of information technology, including its presumptions of control, its so-called radicality, even its ability to make virtual worlds, and shows that many of these claims are poorly founded.
Among the writings Coyne visits are works by Heidegger, Adorno, Benjamin, Gadamer, Derrida, Habermas, Rorty, and Foucault. He relates their views to information technology designers and critics such as Herbert Simon, Alan Kay, Terry Winograd, Hubert Dreyfus, and Joseph Weizenbaum. In particular, Coyne draws extensively from the writing of Martin Heidegger, who has presented one of the most radical critiques of technology to date.
