Beginning Web Programming with HTML, XHTML, and CSS teaches you how to write Web pages using HTML, XHTML, and CSS. It follows standards-based principles, but also teaches readers ways around problems they are likely to face using (X)HTML.
While XHTML is the “current” standard, the book still covers HTML because many people do not yet understand that XHTML is the official successor to HTML, and many readers will still stick with HTML for backward compatibility and simpler/informal Web pages that don’t require XHTML compliance.
The book teaches basic principles of usability and accessibility along the way, to get users into the mode of developing Web pages that will be available to as many viewers as possible from the start. The book also covers the most commonly used programming/scripting language — JavaScript — and provides readers with a roadmap of other Web technologies to learn after mastering this book to add more functionality to their sites.

Multiobjective problems involve several competing measures of solution quality, and multiobjective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) and multiobjective problem solving have become important topics of research in the evolutionary computation community over the past 10 years. This is an advanced text aimed at researchers and practitioners in the area of search and optimization.
The book focuses on how MOEAs and related techniques can be used to solve problems, particularly in the disciplines of science and engineering. Contributions by leading researchers show how the concepts of multiobjective optimization can be used to reformulate and resolve problems in broad areas such as constrained optimization, coevolution, classification, inverse modelling and design. The book is distinguished from other texts on MOEAs in that it is not primarily about the algorithms, nor specific applications, but about the concepts and processes involved in solving problems using a multiobjective approach. Each chapter contributes to the central, deep concepts and themes of the book: evaluating the utility of the multiobjective approach; discussing alternative problem formulations; showing how problem formulation affects the search process; and examining solution selection and decision making.
The book will be of benefit to researchers, practitioners and graduate students engaged with optimization-based problem solving. For multiobjective optimization experts, the book is an up-to-date account of emerging and advanced topics; for others, the book indicates how the multiobjective approach can lead to fresh insights.

Testing software is a very important and challenging activity. This is a book for people who test software during its development. Our focus is on object-oriented and component-based software, but you can apply many of the techniques discussed in this book regardless of the development paradigm. We assume our reader is familiar with testing procedural software—that is, software written in the procedural paradigm using languages such as C, Ada, Fortran, or COBOL. We also assume our reader is familiar and somewhat experienced in developing software using object-oriented and component-based technologies. Our focus is on describing what to test in object-oriented development efforts as well as on describing techniques for how to test object-oriented software, and how testing software built with these newer technologies differs from testing procedural software.
This book focuses on the real-world issues that arise in planning and implementing effective testing for object-oriented and component-based software development. It shows how testing object-oriented software differs from testing procedural software and highlights the unique challenges and opportunities inherent in object-oriented software testing.

One comprehensive example runs throughout the book to demonstrate testing techniques for each stage of development. In addition, the book highlights important questions that testers should ask when faced with specific testing tasks.

The Kan is an ideal choice as an opening weapon against 1 e4, as it is one of the easiest variations of the Sicilian to learn and play. This is because, unlike some variations of the Sicilian, you don’t need to memorize loads of opening theory in order to be successful. The Kan is relatively theory free in the traditional sense, and success is more likely to occur through the understanding of development systems and a deep study of the tactical and positional ideas for both sides.

In this book Johan Hellsten draws upon his vast experience in the Sicilian Kan, revealing his secrets and showing how Black can adopt this opening and play it with confidence. He provides the reader with a dependable repertoire, demonstrating what to do in the main lines as well as how to deal with White’s tricky alternatives

Forward by Severin Koller – Austria (edited by Chris Weeks)
When I started photography about two years ago I had a compact digital camera with no mentionable resolution. I soon started to focus on structures and abstract photography because anything else wasn’t possible due to the low quality.
It soon led me to architectural photography, which turned out to be the subject and style I master the best. It also makes my living at the moment.
With that small digital camera, street photography were just ridiculous attempts that never turned out as they should have. As I investigated new photographic gear about a year ago, I still had the opinion that digital is the way … the future. Last summer I got the Canon Eos 1Ds Mark II, which I use for my commissions and some conceptual and architectural work. I used it for personal work sometimes as well. The moments you want to make should be personal, intimate, close and unobtrusive photos … you can throw these 7000 bucks in the rubbish bin !!
My point is … I fell in love with street photography the moment I started analogue photography. I never took portraits. I never did journalism. I never dared to do street photography the classic way. Why? Because it’s not possible with a digital… the feeling is missing. You can see the photo right after taking it, which destroys the whole flair. You don’t have real black and white film and you will never be able to see the beauty of a fiber print. You don’t have to wait until it’s developed, which is another pity. You lose all the joy of the darkroom. Digital cameras are too big, too loud,
… they’re simply too flashy. Small digital ones don’t offer any useable quality when it comes to print; digital street photography simply doesn’t look like a street shot. Street is about life and digital is lifeless.
Today I’m using digital for my work and I never carry that big tank around with me, if I don’t really have to.
I’m thankful I discovered the joy and passion of street photography, which includes spontaneous portraits, capturing moments, capturing joy, capturing anger … it’s life and it’s a good feeling to shoot and look at your results … later.
I need that sort of photography as some balance. It’s so different than my commercial. It’s great to do both but without street photography I wouldn’t have half the joy of photography. It helped me to fall in love with that art form again.
It’s relaxing in a way. You don’t have to capture something. You simply can if you want. Nobody assigned your time. Nobody tells you what photos they want. You just sit there or walk somewhere and take a photo and no matter if it’s great or normal in the end … making it is just a good feeling … something I want to keep my whole life.
Street photography can also be challenging and exciting. Be it a spy shot or a photo right in front of the (human) subject… both give me an adrenaline rush. My finger is itching and my heart is beating … then I decide to take the photo, no matter what will happen. As long as you stay unnoticed, it works wonderfully.
The best you can do is taking a photo without having any influence on the scene at all, then you have a real street shot and therefore you need the right gear as well. The rangefinder was built for it and is still the number one choice.
Something else I enjoy about street shots are when the person (be it in main focus or someone else in the frame) is looking at you or at the camera. I like these photos when you don’t see that the person realizes the camera but just looks in your direction. That happens when you’re so quick that you take the facial expression and look of the eyes before the person realizes that you take a photo. It’s a question of seconds or even milliseconds!
In short … street photography made me love photography even more and that’s why I’m so thankful that I went analogue. Because of street photography I can enjoy my work more, since it is more balanced. I have a counterpart to my commercial work.
You can capture with your mind or with your heart. Sometimes with both.. but mainly street photography and analogue is with my heart and displays my feelings. Work is a technical challenge and conceptual or private architectural photography is a challenge for my mind… but the heart, the heart is street photography and when I write this, I realize it more and more.

Not a reference book, and not a tutorial either, the new second edition of the highly regarded Access Cookbook is an uncommonly useful collection of solutions to problems that Access users and developers are likely to face as they attempt to build increasingly complex applications. Although using any single “recipe” in the book will more than pay back the cost of the book in terms of both hours saved and frustration thwarted, Access Cookbook, Second Edition is much more than a handy assortment of cut-and-paste code. Each of the “recipes” examine a particular problem–problems that commonly occur when you push the upper limits of Access, or ones that are likely to trip up a developer attempting to design a more elegant Access application–even some things you never knew Access could do. The authors then, in a clear, accessible, step-by-step style, present the problems’ solution. Following each “recipe” are insights on how Access works, potential pitfalls, interesting programming techniques that are used in the solution, and how and why the solution works, so you can adapt the problem-solving techniques to other similar situations. Fully updated for Access 2003, Access Cookbook, Second Edition is also one of the first books to thoroughly explore new support for .NET managed code and XML. All of the practical, real-world examples have been tested for compatibility with Access 2003, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003. This updated new edition also covers Access and SharePoint, Access and SmartTags, Access and .NET; and Access and XML. Access power users and programmers at all levels, from the relatively inexperienced to the most sophisticated, will rely on the Access Cookbook for quick solutions to gnarly problems. With a dog-eared copy of Access Cookbook at your side, you can spend your time and energy where it matters most: working on the interesting facets of your Access application, not just the time-consuming ones.

When using software products with graphical interfaces, we frequently focus so much on the details of how to use the interface that we forget about the more general concepts that allow us to understand and put the software to effective use. This is particularly true of a powerful database product like Microsoft Access. Novice, and sometimes even experienced, programmers are so concerned with how something is done in Access that they often lose sight of the general principles that underlie their database applications.

Access Database Design & Programming, 2nd Edition, an update to the bestselling first edition, features:
A discussion of Access’ new VBA Integrated Development Environment, which, for the first time, is the one used by Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
An expansion of the discussion of the VBA language itself, in response to reader requests
A discussion of Microsoft’s latest data access technology, called Active Data Objects (or ADO), along with a discussion of Open Database Connectivity(ODBC), which is intimately connected with ADO

Unlike other Access books that take the long, detailed approach to every topic of concern to Access programmers, this book focuses instead on the core concepts, enabling programmers to develop solid, effective database applications. As a result, important topics such as designing forms and reports, database security, database replication, and programming for multiuser applications are simply not discussed. This book is a kind of “second course” in Access that provides a relatively experienced Access user who is new to programming with the frequently overlooked techniques necessary to successfully develop in the Microsoft Access environment. Anyone interested in learning Access in-depth, rather than just scraping the surface, will enjoy and immensely benefit from reading this book.

Although this book is really an introduction directed to intermediate Microsoft Access users who are novice programmers, it should appeal to all levels of Access developers. For novice programmers, it focuses on a key body of knowledge that is typically neglected, but is nevertheless essential for developing effective database applications. For intermediate and advanced developers, its treatment of database design and queries provides a handy treatment that otherwise has to be gleaned from relatively uninteresting textbooks, while its programming chapters constitute a handy reference to some basic operations that can be performed using DAO or the Access object model.

Software engineering – the “engineering” of software – is part process, part technology, part resource
management, and, debatably, until recently, part luck – which make interesting challenges for educators
at the undergraduate or graduate level. Learning to be a software engineer – learning about software
– learning about engineering (the former, a nebulous topic, the latter an equally nebulous attitude of
professionalism) form the target that educators are aiming to hit. Unfortunately, with constant “innovations”
in methodologies, technologies, and programming languages, this is a moving target.
“The great aim of education is not knowledge but action.” Herbert Spencer (1820-1903)
Simply put, the aim of this book is to better prepare educators to better prepare students to be better
software engineers. The material in the 18 chapters of this book hits the mark by providing proven ammunition
for student learning and assessment, curriculum development, innovative teaching methods,
and project approaches that solidify classroom concepts, as well as instill an engineering mindset with
respect to responsibility, ethics, certification and licensing. It provides a synergistic experience base that
can serve the ongoing and future needs of software engineering educators.
“Nothing can add more power to your life than concentrating all your energies on a limited set of targets.”
Nido Qubein
To paraphrase Yogi Berra, “Software engineering is 90% aptitude, and the other half attitude.” In my
opinion, one of the main challenges facing software engineering educators today is finding a formula
for a curriculum that balances theory and application – that channels a student’s aptitude and enhances
their ability and capability to be a software engineer. As stated earlier, software is a nebulous topic – not
all software applications require the same engineering tradeoffs, but there are key engineering concepts
that can be distilled from the experience of others, as captured in the chapters of this book, which will
help guide educators in defining and refining software engineering curriculum.
“Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose your
ability to learn new things and move forward with your life.” Dr. David M. Burns
Perfection is the seductive goal of all software engineering projects - yet perfection has a price
that can stand in the way of a successful software solution. The readers of this book will clearly learn
new things that I am convinced will lead to success in the classroom that will, in turn, lead to more
successful engineering graduates, that will, in turn lead to more successful engineering projects.
In closing, there is one phrase that I first heard used jokingly when I entered the job market only
4 years after the term “Software Engineering” was coined – “Ready, Fire, Aim.” At the time, I did
not appreciate its profound applicability to the real world. Software Engineering is the real world.
Academia is not, and there lies the challenge that this book addresses. Metaphorically speaking, the
material in this book will help educators get ready for software engineering students to learn as well
as the educators themselves to teach (by providing a survey of existing learning theories and blended
learning approaches as they apply to software engineering education), it will help give educators the
ammunition they need to build their software engineering programs and capstone projects (leading
to accreditation and more “experienced” students, who can better communicate and work in teams),
and finally, it better prepares the students to successfully hit the (moving) target (by giving them an
appreciation of ethics and professionalism that they can take outside the classroom).

As organizations increase their dependence on networks for core business processes and increase access to remote sites and mobile workers via virtual private networks (VPNs), network security becomes more and more critical. In today’s networked era, information is an organization’s most valuable resource. Lack of customer, partner, and employee access to e-commerce and data servers can impact both revenue and productivity. Even so, most networks do not have the proper degree of security. Network Security Principles and Practices provides an in-depth understanding of the policies, products, and expertise that brings organization to this extremely complex topic and boosts your confidence in the performance and integrity of your network systems and services. Written by a CCIE engineer who participated in the development of the CCIE Security exams, Network Security Principles and Practices is the first book that provides a comprehensive review of topics important to achieving CCIE Security certification.

Network Security Principles and Practices is a comprehensive guide to network security threats and the policies and tools developed specifically to combat those threats. Taking a practical, applied approach to building security into networks, the book shows you how to build secure network architectures from the ground up. Security aspects of routing protocols, Layer 2 threats, and switch security features are all analyzed. A comprehensive treatment of VPNs and IPSec is presented in extensive packet-by-packet detail. The book takes a behind-the-scenes look at how the Cisco PIX(r) Firewall actually works, presenting many difficult-to-understand and new Cisco PIX Firewall and Cisco IOS® Firewall concepts. The book launches into a discussion of intrusion detection systems (IDS) by analyzing and breaking down modern-day network attacks, describing how an IDS deals with those threats in general, and elaborating on the Cisco implementation of IDS. The book also discusses AAA, RADIUS, and TACACS+ and their usage with some of the newer security implementations such as VPNs and proxy authentication. A complete section devoted to service provider techniques for enhancing customer security and providing support in the event of an attack is also included. Finally, the book concludes with a section dedicated to discussing tried-and-tested troubleshooting tools and techniques that are not only invaluable to candidates working toward their CCIE Security lab exam but also to the security network administrator running the operations of a network on a daily basis.

Cluster analysis means the organization of an unlabeled collection of objects or patterns into separate groups based on their similarity. The task of computerized data clustering has been approached from diverse domains of knowledge like graph theory, multivariate analysis, neural networks, fuzzy set theory, and so on. Clustering is often described as an unsupervised learning method but most of the traditional algorithms require a prior specification of the number of clusters in the data for guiding the partitioning process, thus making it not completely unsupervised. Modern data mining tools that predict future trends and behaviors for allowing businesses to make proactive and knowledge-driven decisions, demand fast and fully automatic clustering of very large datasets with minimal or no user intervention.

In this volume, we formulate clustering as an optimization problem, where the best partitioning of a given dataset is achieved by minimizing/maximizing one (single-objective clustering) or more (multi-objective clustering) objective functions. Using several real world applications, we illustrate the performance of several metaheuristics, particularly the Differential Evolution algorithm when applied to both single and multi-objective clustering problems, where the number of clusters is not known beforehand and must be determined on the run. This volume comprises of 7 chapters including an introductory chapter giving the fundamental definitions and the last Chapter provides some important research challenges.

Academics, scientists as well as engineers engaged in research, development and application of optimization techniques and data mining will find the comprehensive coverage of this book invaluable.

Programmers and software architects don’t really make a conscious decision to design an application (particularly one with online exposure) around the three-tier model-view-controller design pattern anymore. Three-tier, largely because of its adaptability and stability, is the norm. All of which means you need a database to underpin each of your applications. Designing your databases correctly can make the difference between slow-running, complicated code and software that’s speedy, modular, and easy to work with. Database Design for Mere Mortals prepares someone with only a passing familiarity with databases for the important job of building the persistence layer (also called the data model) for software.

Michael Hernandez explains database design in tradesman’s terms. That is, he shows his readers how to identify the business problems that have to be satisfied by a database, then proceeds to explain how to build a solid solution to them. Hernandez’s approach combines procedural guidelines (first identify critical facts, then apply a certain logic to yield tables, then establish cross-references, and so on) with practical definitions that clear up much of the rich trove of jargon surrounding databases. He walks through numerous examples, and doesn’t shy away from the complexities that always exist in real customers’ requirements. If you’re not familiar with database design, and want to be, this is the book you need. –David Wall

Topics covered: How to design databases that fit business requirements and make software construction easier. In addition to explaining relational database concepts, the author explains data integrity, null values, keys, table relationships (one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many), and data types. He emphasizes processes designers should follow in building a new database or improving an existing one.

… aims to be a full and comprehensive account of (almost all) the probability theory and stochastic processes one could hope to teach to undergraduates … Much new material has been included in this third edition to reflect recent developments in the subject … As well as its masterful coverage of the material, the book has many appealing stylistic features … extremely valuable in finding good proofs of theorems which are dealt with rather cursorily in other textbooks. The Mathematical Gazette One of the strong features of the book is its large collection of interesting exercises, which has been greatly expanded in this new edition so that there are now over one thousand exercises. These are conveniently collected together in a separate volume that includes full solutions. Biometrics As well as its masterful coverage of the material, the book has many appealing stylistic features. Mathematical Gazette This is definitely one of my favourites as a textbook … a wealth of interesting teaching material at all levels.

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 furtherto a place limited only by your imagination.
In this book you’ll learn
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.
