AUDIOBOOK Christopher Paolini Eragon Unabridged




When Eragon finds a polished stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy; perhaps it will buy his family meat for the winter. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon soon realizes he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself. Overnight his simple life is shattered and he is thrust into a perilous new world of destiny, magic and power. With only an ancient sword and the advice of an old storyteller for guidance, Eragon and the fledgling dragon must navigate the dangerous terrain and dark enemies of an Empire ruled by a king whose evil knows no bounds. Can Eragon take up the mantle of the legendary Dragon Riders? The fate of the Empire may rest in his hands

"Stephen A Hart, "Sherman Firefly vs Tiger: Normandy 1944 (Duel 2)"
Osprey Publishing 2007| 80 pages | ISBN: 9781846031502 | PDF | 10 MB

The German Tiger heavy tank was a monster of a machine that dominated the battlefields of Europe. One of the most feared weapons of World War II, the Tiger gained an aura of invincibility that was only shattered by the introduction of the Sherman Firefly during the summer of 1944. Designed by the British to combat the Tiger, the Sherman Firefly was based on the American M4A4 Sherman, but was fitted with a powerful 17-pounder gun which made it a deadly opponent. This book describes the design and development of these two opponents, analyzing their strengths and weaknesses, assessing their tactics, weaponry and training. Gunsight artwork puts the reader 'inside' the tanks during famous battle scenarios, in a victory of superior Allied numbers, tactics and engineering.

MySQL (4th Edition) (Developer's Library)/by Paul DuBois (Author)
Description
The unexpected pleasure of reading books about databases is that they are often written by authors with highly organized minds. Paul DuBois and his editors at New Riders have assembled MySQL with a clarity and lucidity that inspires confidence in the subject matter: a (nearly) freely redistributable SQL-interpreting database client/server primarily geared for Unix systems but maintained for Windows platforms as well. What isn't "free" about MySQL (the application) is its server's commercial use; all clients and noncommercial server use are free. DuBois's tome isn't free either, but its list price is modest in light of its value and the value of its namesake.

Everything you need to create secure, reliable and easy-to-use web services using Apache Axis2. Packed with real-life examples, you will learn how to
work with Axis2 in a fast and practical way. You will learn to build SOAP and REST web services and APIs for your web applications.

In Detail:
Axis2 is an enterprise-ready web service engine that is very user friendly and provides web service interactions with a dynamic and flexible execution framework.
Apache Axis2 is a core engine for web services with two implementations: Apache Axis2/Java and Apache Axis2/C. It is a complete redesign and rewrite of the widely used Apache Axis SOAP stack that builds on the lessons learned from the Apache Axis implementation of the SOAP submission to W3C. Apache Axis2 not only supports SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2, but also has integrated support for the widely popular REST-style of web services. The same business logic implementation can offer both a WS-* style interface and a REST/POX style interface simultaneously.
Apache Axis2 is more efficient, more modular, more scalable, and more XML-oriented than the older version. It is carefully designed to support the easy addition of plug-in modules that extend its functionality for features such as security and reliability. Apache Axis2 is built on Apache AXIOM, a new high performance, pull-based XML object model. This book will take you through the basics of web services and Axis2 to the details of Axis2’s architecture.

Flash and PHP Bible By Matthew Keefe



Publisher: Wiley
Number Of Pages: 508
Publication Date: 2008-05-05
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0470258241
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780470258248
Binding: Paperback

Quickly develop dynamic Flash applications with PHP
The demand for rich Internet applications (RIAs) such as complete storefronts and interactive surveys is skyrocketing, as is the pressure to create these dynamic apps overnight and at low cost. This in-depth Bible provides the step-by-step instructions you need to quickly create RIAs in Flash using cost-effective, open-source PHP programming tools. You’ll learn how PHP works, when you should use it in Flash, and above all, vital security techniques for keeping your interactive sites secure.
Install, configure, and explore the basics of PHP
Connect Flash to PHP and PHP to MySQL
Create contact forms and search capabilities
Clean, store, and check your interactive data
Apply advanced security techniques
Develop an RSS reader or banner tracking with PHP
Extend Flash and PHP with third-party libraries
Learn best practices for backing up and updating your server
Companion Web Site
On the book’s Web site you can see real-world examples of Flash applications and how they were developed. The Web site also includes all the source files associated with the examples. Visit www.wiley.com/go/flashandphpbible.
Summary: Not for beginners, but great for experienced developers
Rating: 5
This book is not for beginners, but full of real world examples if you understand the basics of PHP, MySQL, and Actionscript already. I liked the fact that the book doesn’t treat you like an amateur and gets down to the working examples right at the start (after a short part about creating a server). Its full of code that’s usable right out of the book, like a shopping cart and a user login service and many more advanced topics.
Summary: The Worst Book I Ever Read
Rating: 1
I am sorry to say this, but this has been one of the worst books I have ever read on Flash and/or other type programs.
I made it to Chapter 5, and was hoping it will get better, but no such luck..it was getting worse.
Particularly, whether you are an advanced or a novice programmer, if you try using the book’s examples with the available downloads, it will be a nightmare.
Summary: Flash and PHP Bible
Rating: 2
Like the other review, i also was waiting for this book to come out, but found it to be pretty disappointing when it did. The topics covered are useful for real world projects but its the way the book is laid out that had me confused.
For example, in the section for installation of PHP the author describes what to do for Windows, then Linux then on the same page of installation for Linux it says about configuring PHP, does this mean for Linux or Windows or both? There are quite a few cases like this that spoil the book.
The books just seems a bit garbled and not put together as well as it could have been.
Summary: 4 Stars For Exp. PHP Users, 3 for Newbies.
This is a solid book, with great examples of PHP and Flash together; however, this isn’t ideal for PHP novices .
I’ve waited for this book for a while, and I put off sharpening my PHP skills until I received it. I wish instead I had more experience building MySQL databases with PHP first. It’s odd, there is some introduction to PHP and MySQL, but it doesn’t really prep you enough if you’re a newbie…
The title “Bible” is misleading; rather, it’s more a cookbook. There is a lot of great info in here- lots of code and explanation of it, but the scope of the explanation is only how it pertains to the example given. For example, while explaining an example to output dynamic XML from a database, the author only focuses on the PHP script to retrieve the data, then parsing it into XML. I would have liked to have seen the XML as a file and how the MySQL database was structured. It would be repetitive, but that’s what makes a good teaching book- or at least a “Bible” book.
The other drawback for Mac PHP newbs will be: the author does a good job of explaining installation of Apache and PHP on Windows and Unix, but NOT Mac. I contacted the author as he promptly replied:
“The reason for no OS X install notes was due to OS X shipping with a version of PHP which would cause issues without a large amount of editing and modifying.. which I felt was beyond the scope of the book.”
He did tho, create a forum on his website for readers to post questions. He quickly replies. On this forum I posted a walkthrough (with pictures) on how to quickly get PHP and MySQL running on your mac.
On the whole, it’s full of excellent code and various examples, but the scope is narrow and explanation is right to the point. Experienced users will welcome it, others may feel discouraged and have to look to other sources to fill in the gaps.

How to Make People Like You in 90 Seconds or Less | 6.75 MB | pdf | 180 pages |

Blessed with an irresistible premise and title, this well-packaged self-help book draws its advice from neuro-linguistic programming and a study of interpersonal communication conducted by two UCLA doctors. While its clearly presented techniques may help readers clear communications hurdles in social and professional interactions, this upbeat volume will probably appeal most to readers interested in dating and nurturing romantic attachments. A former fashion photographer who gives “Positive Connection” seminars, Boothman breaks down the process of connecting with people into discrete stepsAmeeting, establishing rapport and opening up communicationAand provides simple examples, self-assessments, exercises and sample dialogue.

He contends that a key to establishing rapport lies in synchronizing behavior or mimicking the other person’s pose, facial expression, gestures, body language and tone of voice. According to the principles of neuro-linguistic programming, Boothman recommends categorizing people according to how they take in information (e.g., visually, aurally or by feel) and responding in kind. Though the book reads like an adapted seminar or puffed-up magazine article, Workman’s ambitious promotional campaign and usual canny marketing may well make this little book one of the season’s most popular impulse purchases. 20-city author tour.

Cussler's back, this time with coauthor Dubrul. For those readers who are still counting, it's Cussler's twenty-eighth book. This one involves the clandestine spy ship Oregon, whose crew--led by one Juan Cabrillo--work for what Cussler describes as "high-powered Western interests." Cabrillo's newest employers are a consortium of Japanese shipping tycoons who are being threatened by pirates. The plot includes commercial freighters that are disappearing, missiles that North Korea is selling to Syria, bad guys planting a bomb on a ship that the U.S. wants to destroy, the sinking of a research vessel, covert operations from any number of nations, and the threat of diseases such as typhoid and cholera that could run rampant--and that's just the first 100 pages. These are a few trite lines ("We can't see diddly," for example) and an ending that doesn't come as a surprise, but Cussler's countless fans won't care.

Investors have too often extrapolated from recent experience. In the 1950s, who but the most rampant optimist would have dreamt that over the next fifty years the real return on equities would be 9% per year? Yet this is what happened in the U.S. stock market. The optimists triumphed. However, as Don Marquis observed, an optimist is someone who never had much experience. The authors of this book extend our experience across regions and across time. They present a comprehensive and consistent analysis of investment returns for equities, bonds, bills, currencies and inflation, spanning sixteen countries, from the end of the nineteenth century to the beginning of the twenty-first. This is achieved in a clear and simple way, with over 130

"Key skills for marketers in the 21st century, which we have now cautiously embarked upon, conjures up images of great technological advances, of a world utterly transformed, a world perhaps ultimately dominated by Artificial Intelligence. This book thankfully does not indulge in the whole "what might be" debate, but instead sensibly takes a long hard look at where marketing stands today, setting out the key skills marketers must master to succeed over the next decade or so. Written by CIM's Director of Marketing, Ray Perry, in a very accessible, sometimes amusing manner, the book outlines the evolution of marketing basics in the 20th century before swiftly moving on to the issues that face the 21st century marketer. These range from the proliferation of media and the choices this now presents the marketer, to consumers' concerns over privacy and data protection. These and other key themes are outlined, demonstrating how they will impact and shape the marketing function. What becomes clear is that in order to succeed in the future, "marketers will need to be flexible, adaptable and multi-skilled". Pan-marketing, measuring metrics, knowledge management, CRM and integrated supply chain management will all be important, and it is likely many of them will become specialist

IDmag 2 – The CoCreative Consumer, (PDF 6 pages, 0.8 mb) is about the co-creative consumer. It deals with how businesses exist in a fragmented world where they no longer have control, and where they need to engage consumers in the product development. It’s also about how consumers no longer accept a standardized product, but want customized ones or products that are open to modification. Businesses will have to live by all of these facts if they desire to stay competitive.

The construction industry is subject to more risk and uncertainty than perhaps any other industry. Yet, surprisingly, managerial techniques used to identify, analyse and respond to risk were not applied in the industry until the 80's. Existing texts deal with the theoretical concepts of risk and the techniques that identify and manage it. This book provides a set of tools that enable these management techniques to be put into practice in the construction industry.

This is an excellent introduction to the fundamental principles and the core concepts of mathematics. There is no need to be mathematically inclined or a mathematical specialist to gain significantly from reading this book. Serious students of mathematics, logic, intellectual history, or philosophy will also gain significantly from its lucid and sharp explanations, and Bertrand's ability to question and challenge and manipulate even the most presumed unchangeable fundamental categories of mathematics.
