Java Cryptography Extensions
Today's digital environment demands that every application design consider security early on in the design process. To achieve this, developers must be fluent in basic cryptographic nomenclature and comprehend the strengths and weaknesses of each algorithm or architecture before making a final design decision. One of Java's solutions to help bridge the gap between academic research and real-world problem solving comes in the form of an interface and programming tools that provide both a framework and the implementations for encryption, key generation and key agreement, and Message Authentication Code (MAC) algorithms. This set of Java Cryptography Extensions (JCE) has now been integrated into the Java 2 SDK, v. 1.4, making it a crucial tool for developers to understand and use.
In Java Cryptography Extensions: Practical Guide for Programmers, the JCE is explored using numerous code examples and instructional detail. It does not delve deeply into mathematical algorithms but instead gives the busy professional the tools to work with the JCE and the ability to write programs in Java right away. A supplemental open-source cryptography toolkit and the sample code is also available online to help those who are new to the JCE understand it through practical application. With this guide, programmers finally have a source that goes beyond the spec and gives them the details necessary for successful cryptography solutions in Java.

Hong’s straightforward style makes it easy for the do-it-yourself crowd to build a server quickly using the ports collection (a software package management system). But rather than wade through the thousands of ports available, Hong focuses on the most popular and useful ones. Each package is treated as an independent project (and given a difficulty rating), so readers can dip into the book at any point to install just the packages they need, when they need them.
The book’s modules cover topics like:
* Running common FreeBSD admin commands and tasks.
* Managing the FreeBSD ports collection.
* Installing third-party apps like Apache, Courier-IMAP, SpamAssassin, CUPS, Cyrus SASL, MediaWiki, and WordPress.
* Setting up MySQL, NTP, ISC DHCP, ISC BIND DNS, PHP, OpenLDAP, OpenSSH, OpenSSL, and OpenVPN.
Appendixes explain user management, backup/restore, and network protocols.
Building a Server with FreeBSD 7 will have readers running their own server loaded with useful modules in no time, with a minimum of hassle.

The Hacker’s Diet, notwithstanding its silly subtitle, is a serious book about how to lose weight and permanently maintain whatever weight you desire. It treats dieting and weight control from an engineering and management standpoint, and provides the tools and an understanding of why they work and how to use them that permit the reader to gain control of their own weight.
The book is intended primarily for busy, successful engineers, programmers, and managers who have struggled unsuccessfully in the past to lose weight and avoid re-gaining it. Computer-based tools and experiments in Microsoft Excel or the Palm Computing Platform are available, as well as an online Web application, but a computer is not necessary to use the techniques described in the book; paper and pencil alternatives are provided.

Product Description
I wrote this book from the perspective of a programmer wanting to learn how to integrate reports within a .NET application. I’ve been working with Crystal Reports since Visual Basic 3 and it’s always been difficult to find technical information on report writing.
I spent a year and a half researching what .NET programmers need to successfully create, implement and deploy a Crystal Reports application. I even put the book on the internet for everyone to read for free all of last year. This generated an incredible number of emails from programmers telling me what they liked, disliked, and what was missing from the book. I learned that there are two distinct types of .NET programmers using Crystal Reports.
The first type of programmer doesn’t have much experience with Crystal Reports and wants a series of tutorials to help them build reports from scratch. For this programmer I wrote 13 chapters which teach you everything about adding reports to ASP.NET and Windows applications. It starts with the basics of building reports to adding charts, crosstab reports, sorting and grouping, subreports and using the formula editor with Basic syntax and Crystal syntax.
The second type of programmer has been using Crystal Reports for years and is mostly concerned with how to do technical runtime customization of reports. For this programmer I researched and diagrammed the undocumented report object models. I included dozens of examples in both VB.NET and C# to show you how to modify reports, manipulate different data sources (XML, ADO.NET, ODBC, OLE DB, stored procedures with parameters), modify formulas and report parameters, and integrate .NET with the RAS and RDC.
The dozens of emails I received when the book was online were instrumental for doing a major revision of many chapters before publishing the book in hardcopy format. Since releasing the book I continue to receive more emails from people. They regret that the free book isn’t online anymore, but understand that it couldn’t last forever and that the hardcopy version is even better. I hope you like it and that it helps you achieve your reporting goals.
September 2004 Update: Due to high demand, I did a second printing of the book. I took advantage of this opportunity to go through the book and remove all grammatical errors. The content is the same, but the typos have been corrected.

Product Description
Microsoft Excel continues to grow in power, sophistication, and capability, but one thing that has changed very little since the early ’90s is its user interface. The once-simple toolbar has been packed with so many features over the years that few users know where to find them all. Microsoft has addressed this problem in Excel 2007 by radically redesigning the user interface with a tabbed toolbar that makes every feature easy to locate and use. Unfortunately, Microsoft’s documentation is as scant as ever, so even if users can find advanced features, they probably won’t know what to do with them.
Excel 2007: The Missing Manual covers the entire gamut of how to build spreadsheets, add and format information, print reports, create charts and graphics, and use basic formulas and functions. Like its siblings in the Missing Manual series, this book crackles with a fine sense of humor and refreshing objectivity about its subject, guiding readers through the new Excel with clear explanations, step-by-step instructions, lots of illustrations, and friendly, time-saving advice. It’s a perfect primer for small businesses with no techie to turn to, as well as those who want to organize household and office information.
About the Author

Product Description
Compared to industrial-strength database products such as Microsoft’s SQL Server, Access is a breeze to use. It runs on PCs rather than servers and is ideal for small- to mid-sized businesses and households. But Access is still intimidating to learn. It doesn’t help that each new version crammed in yet another set of features; so many, in fact, that even the pros don’t know where to find them all. Access 2007 breaks this pattern with some of the most dramatic changes users have seen since Office 95. Most obvious is the thoroughly redesigned user interface, with its tabbed toolbar (or “Ribbon”) that makes features easy to locate and use. The features list also includes several long-awaited changes. One thing that hasn’t improved is Microsoft’s documentation. To learn the ins and outs of all the features in Access 2007, Microsoft merely offers online help.
Access 2007: The Missing Manual was written from the ground up for this redesigned application. You will learn how to design complete databases, maintain them, search for valuable nuggets of information, and build attractive forms for quick-and-easy data entry. You’ll even delve into the black art of Access programming (including macros and Visual Basic), and pick up valuable tricks and techniques to automate common tasks — even if you’ve never touched a line of code before. You will also learn all about the new prebuilt databases you can customize to fit your needs, and how the new complex data feature will simplify your life. With plenty of downloadable examples, this objective and witty book will turn an Access neophyte into a true master.

Indeed, since the 1.0 release in 1987, Perl has been heralded for its powerful parsing capabilities&emdash;features that are further enhanced through the thousands of Perl extensions made available through CPAN (the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network)

Product Description This book is about taking over Perl code, whether written by someone else or by yourself at an earlier time. Developers regularly estimate that they spend 60 to 80 percent of their time working with existing code. Many problems of code inheritance are common to all languages, but the nature of the language makes Perl especially tricky. The reason why is that Perl is similar to English - bursting with irregular verbs, consistent only when it's convenient, borrowing terms from other languages, and providing many ways to say the same thing. In fact, Perl developers have a motto with the abbreviation TMTOWTDI: There's More Than One Way To Do It. While this flexibility is one of the language's strengths, it also makes it extremely difficult when you are faced with an existing piece of code. There are millions of lines of Perl code being used all over the Web; much of it was built on an ad hoc basis, the creators never imagining that the code would still be in use months or years later. This book will be the resource all Perl programmers need to understand someone else's code, even when it's bad; repair it; convert it to a better style; upgrade it to the latest version of Perl; maintain it; and find and fix its bugs.

File Name: Perl Best Practices
File Submitter: Nanflexal
File Submitted: 30 Jun 2009
File Category: JSP & PERL
Product Description Many programmers code by instinct, relying on convenient habits or a "style" they picked up early on. They aren't conscious of all the choices they make, like how they format their source, the names they use for variables, or the kinds of loops they use. They're focused entirely on problems they're solving, solutions they're creating, and algorithms they're implementing. So they write code in the way that seems natural, that happens intuitively, and that feels good. But if you're serious about your profession, intuition isn't enough.
Perl Best Practices author Damian Conway explains that rules, conventions, standards, and practices not only help programmers communicate and coordinate with one another, they also provide a reliable framework for thinking about problems, and a common language for expressing solutions. This is especially critical in Perl, because the language is designed to offer many ways to accomplish the same task, and consequently it supports many incompatible dialects.
With a good dose of Aussie humor, Dr. Conway (familiar to many in the Perl community) offers 256 guidelines on the art of coding to help you write better Perl code--in fact, the best Perl code you possibly can. The guidelines cover code layout, naming conventions, choice of data and control structures, program decomposition, interface design and implementation, modularity, object orientation, error handling, testing, and debugging.
They're designed to work together to produce code that is clear, robust, efficient, maintainable, and concise, but Dr. Conway doesn't pretend that this is the one true universal and unequivocal set of best practices. Instead,
Perl Best Practices offers coherent and widely applicable suggestions based on real-world experience of how code is actually written, rather than on someone's ivory-tower theories on how software ought to be created.
Most of all,
Perl Best Practices offers guidelines that actually work, and that many developers around the world are already using. Much like Perl itself, these guidelines are about helping you to get your job done, without getting in the way.

Discover a new world of possibility with VMware Workstation 3.5.
Virtualization opens up many new possibilities for IT pros. With VMware Workstation you can run multiple virtual computers on a single computer. Each can have its own unique operating system and hardware profile.
This lets you try out Linux without building a new computer. Test new client-server environments before deploying them. Run test environments without fear of crashing your main OS. And that's just the beginning.
Become a virtualization pro with ESX Server and VMware Infrastructure 3.5.
With ESX Server and VMware Infrastructure 3.5, you'll have even more power and flexibility at your fingertips.
Here's just a taste. Imagine your ideal infrastructure, including the number of servers and their functions -- even the ideal network traffic flow. You can design that in VMware Server. Then give it as much hardware horsepower as your budget allows. The more hardware you give it, the better performance you'll get. Plus it's expandable later when you need more performance.
You could even run an entire virtual network or IT datacenter that exists completely within VMware. This maximizes your ability to use hardware to its full capacity.
Step by step on the job skills plus exam prep.
CBT Nuggets instructor Greg Shields walks you through VMware Workstation, ESX Server, and VMware Infrastructure 3.5. He shows you what you need to know to deploy and manage these on the job. He even throws in some "gotcha's" from his own experience where things work differently than you'd expect, or where you need to pay extra attention.
VMware’s new Guided Consolidation tool for Infrastructure 3.5 takes most of the guesswork out of the P2V process. As an administrator you'll have a higher level of confidence about virtualization candidacy.
Another big feature new with Infrastructure 3.5 is VMware’s Update Manager. It eases the process of identifying patch baselines and deploying patches to ESX systems and residing virtual machines.
This series stands alone as an on-the-job reference for using VMware -- but that's just the beginning.
If you'd like to become a VMware Certified Professional (VCP), this series can help you prepare for the exam. We mapped the content to exam objectives so what you learn in the videos is what you'll see on the test.
To get certified, you'll also have to attend a course hosted by VMware -- this series supplements that course by helping you become familiar with VMware before taking the course. Plus, after you've taken the course, you can use this series to brush up on your skills and knowledge before taking the certification exam.
The VMware Infrastructure 3.5 VCP Certification Package update contains:
# Introduction to Virtualization and VMware (free video!)
# Using VMware Workstation
# Deploying, Manipulating, and Converting Virtual Machines
# Cloning and Teaming
# VMware Virtual Infrastructure Components

Addressing the storming controversy of EJB head-on, this guide discusses framework problems and common traps that can snare unwary developers. Advice is provided for choosing persistence strategies beyond EJB entity beans and a list of several entity bean antipatterns. Also offered are session bean and messaging antipatterns and a compelling discussion about how and when to use problematic stateful session beans. Solutions to difficult problems such as effective builds and performance tuning are furnished. Designed for EJB developers, architects, programmers, and project managers, this authoritative reference attacks basic Java programming problems to establish antipatterns as a serious field for Java developers in a well-known context.

This book addresses the fundamental units of Windows and .NET programming – threads. A strong understanding of the role threads play in program execution, how multiple threads can interact in order to make efficient programs, and the pitfalls to beware of when developing multithreaded applications, are all core to a developer’s ability to develop effective C# programs. This book will cover how .NET applications are executed, the life cycle of a thread in .NET, how the .NET Framework uses threads, how threads work in an event-driven environment, how we can avoid race conditions and deadlocks, how the activity of multiple threads can be synchronized, and how to debug multithreaded applications. We finish it off by describing the creation of a multithreaded network application.
What is great about this book?

“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.”
