There are open-source firewalls, and there are commercial firewalls that are easier to configure. No software firewall, however, has the reputation for impermeability that Check Point FireWall-1 NG has. Essential Check Point FireWall-1 NG exists to serve the network administrator as a manual and ready reference for the defensive utility. It's a sensitive role, because a poorly administered firewall can be worse than no firewall at all. Dameon Welch-Abernathy provides his readers with the knowledge they need--in the form of both instructions and raw information--to install, set up, and administer FireWall-1 NG properly in a variety of configurations.

A word of warning: This book provides detailed installation instructions for Microsoft Windows 2000 only. Though other supported operating systems get some coverage, only for Windows does the author walk you through the complete set of installation screens. This may or may not be a problem for you. With installation out of the way, the book treats configuration in an approximately platform-neutral fashion (though all screen shots are from Windows 2000). Typically, Welch-Abernathy opens a section with some theoretical information (about authentication, say, or firewalling in VPNs), then provides a relevant stepped procedure for a typical scenario, then goes through a very useful series of questions and answers (which are indexed separately--a helpful feature). It's a good approach that helps guarantee the reader gets the required information. --David Wall

Topics covered: How to knowledgeably and effectively support Check Point FireWall-1 NG. In addition to basic firewall functionality and rule-setting, the author covers Virtual Private Network (VPN) setups, alternative forms of user authentication, Network Address Translation (NAT), and reliability issues. Special chapters cover the INSPECT and SecuRemote/SecureClient utilities.

Going Digital: The Practice and Vision of Digital Artists by Joseph Nalven (Author), JD Jarvis (Author)
Publisher: Course Technology PTR; 1 edition (July 25, 2005) | ISBN-10: 1592009182 | CHM | 24,3 Mb | 432 pages
"Going Digital: The Practice and Vision of Digital Artists", takes the unique approach of combining a how-to guide with critical and theoretical discussion. Look behind the scenes to see how a select group of artists, each working in their own distinct style, approach a common compositional challenge. Each artist is given a set of identical images and then uses those images to create an original work of art, documenting each step that leads to the finished piece and providing discussion of how their work is enhanced by digital technology.
Featuring rich imagery and instructional text guiding you through each step, each artist's presentation is placed within the context of art history and theory to stimulate thought and discussion about the challenges of digital art making. "Going Digital: The Practice and Vision of Digital Artists" provides you with both how-to knowledge practical theory necessary to create, discuss, and present art using digital technology. Also, gallery owners, curators and those who are increasingly asked to judge or place digital artwork within their exhibits will find valuable information about categorizing and why-to include digital art in their venues.

The Animation Survive Kit
Faber & Faber | ISBN: 0571202284 | 2002 | 352 Pages | 35.83 MB
http://ebloghdtv.blogspot.com/Richard Williams is a man who is largely responsible for the revival of the art of animation in the early 1970s. Williams had Disney animator Art Babbitt and Warner great Ken Harris working in his studio in London and training a new generation of animators in the techniques of good character animation, which was not taught at the time in any school or considered an art form.

Williams' long awaited book on animation technique is the logical successor to Preston Blair's CARTOON ANIMATION and it successfully updates some of the weaknesses of that book, particularly in handling dialogue animation. He covers a lot of the same ground that Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston did in their now out-of-print THE ILLUSION OF LIFE.

There is some history, but that's available in other books. What is unique about this book is that Williams writes how surprised he, an Academy Award winning animator with a successful professional studio, was to learn that he needed to learn just about everything over again from Harris and Babbitt. Fortunately for us he is now sharing these priceless lessons with the public.

The most important thing that an aspiring animator will get from this book is: that animation IS an art form, and good animation has nothing to do with whether it is done on computer or on paper. Williams exhorts his readers to 'draw whenever possible' and even though there is a computer modelled figure on the cover of the book, there is not a single piece of computer generated imagery in it. The book is about the bare bones, about creating life in art. Animation is the twentieth century's contribution to world art and deserves to be taken very seriously.

The ultimate guide on HOW to animate, February 19, 2002
Reviewer: Ronnie L. Ashlock (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
Any animator looking for a book to help them improve their craft knows that most books on animation usually fall short in so many ways, it's easy to think it's impossible to write a comprehensive and accurate book on the subject (don't even get me started about the abysmal state of computer character animation books). Williams is the penultimate animator's animator and he tells it like it is. Williams systematically demystifies virtually every aspect of animation from simple walk cycles, to breaking joints to dialogue and acting. Along the way, he corrects or eliminates information that is inaccurate or practices that distract (lose the headphones and the rad tunes when you work and watch your quality and quantity improve). Williams also is a great storyteller and writer. His accounts with Milt Kahl, Art Babbit and Ken Harris are gems, giving real insight into the personalities of these ingenious men. Since so much of the book is gleaned from his tutaluge under the now-gone "greats" of animation, any price for this tome is a steal. His gift to the world is this book.

If you want learn to REALLY animate characters with life and believability, get this book.

Wonderful, Informative, Creative and Technical, January 5, 2006
Reviewer: Kerrigan Marois (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
This book is absolutely amazing. I cant believe the amount of knowledge between each chapter. And when you begin to put these simple techniques into practice you open up a whole new world. You can breathe life into old cycles and ideas that you thought were good before too. The only crit I have here is that even though these skills can transfer to 3d, there is no real technical advice. Otherwise this should belong on every animator's book shelf!

A must have for any animator!!!, November 30, 2005
Reviewer: Norhanimator (New York City) - See all my reviews
I cannot reccomend this book enough. When I bought this book, I went home and threw away all my other animation books. This is the only one you will ever read. Richard Williams draws on a lifetime of experience working with some of the world's greatest animators and presents his knowledge with a beautifuly designed book.
Rather than a dull "text book" or technical manual feel, this book reads like you are sitting down at a drawing table right next to the author. If you are an animator- or even just interested in the art of animation, do yourself a favor and get this book!

Book Description:

"Feature complete" is not the same as "production ready." Whether it's in Java, .NET, or Ruby on Rails, getting your application ready to ship is only half the battle. Did you design your system to survive a "Slashdotting"? Or an influx of real world customers from 100 different countries? If you're a developer and don't want to wear a pager for the rest of your life, this book will help.

Release It! shows you how to design and architect your application for the harsh realities it will face. You can avoid the pitfalls that cause typical enterprise applications to show uptime in the "four eights" instead of the fabled "five nines." You'll learn how to design your application for maximum uptime and performance.

Everything changes after Release 1.0. The consultants leave; key developers get reassigned to new projects, and the wild and free environment of development gets replaced by change review boards and defect reports. And the public starts beating on the system. Your application needs to be ready to live in that environment--without you.

Out in the real world, your system may have to endure the huge traffic spikes of a Slashdot posting, or a sudden influx of international customers in the middle of the night, or enjoy such popularity that you can't even take it down for maintenance.

Other books on design and architecture only tell you how to meet functional requirements. They help your software pass Quality Assurance. But painful experience has shown that "feature complete" is not even close to "production ready."

With a combination of case studies and practical advice, Release It! will help you avoid the pitfalls that cost companies hundreds of thousands--sometimes millions--of dollars.
