Welcome to the center of the Microsoft universe: Windows PowerShell.
Are you tired of redundant tasks? Tired of needing to look stuff up every time you administer a new app? Then you’re in luck. Windows PowerShell is the all-in-one engine for administering Windows servers and applications.

Windows PowerShell gives you one consistent command structure for controlling all your apps and servers. And it works whether you’re using GUI, command line interface (CLI) or scripting. Plus it fits perfectly with Microsoft applications, like Exchange 2007 and Systems Center Operations Manager.

PowerShell Features
Unlike VB Script, PowerShell is more than just a scripting language. It’s also a command shield. So when you type commands, you get immediate results. In this training series Don shows you how to:

Install PowerShell on XP, Windows 2003 or Vista

Use PowerShell’s consistent syntax and utilities

Customize PowerShell to meet your needs

Use PowerShell’s Admin-focused scripting language

Work effectively with 130 standard command-line tools

Access PowerShell’s built-in capabilities and object-orientation (without having to become a .NET Framework programmer)
Automation Made Easy
Don shows you how to automate Windows with PowerShell — including tasks such as gathering remote management information from servers and desktops. In no time you’ll be automating many of your key administrative tasks — like using a single command-line to import a hundred users from a CSV file into Active Directory.

In fact, PowerShell is far more automation-friendly than DOS, EXE and the older, GUI-dependent command structure in Active Directory (although PowerShell works great in GUI, if GUI’s what you prefer).

With PowerShell you’ll be spending far less time on routine tasks and a lot more time on special projects — the fun stuff that drew you to network administration in the first place.

Typically, there are over twenty radio systems on board the average commercial jet aircraft dealing with communication, navigation and surveillance functions. Very high frequency (VHF) air-to-ground communication is usually the main method of information and control exchange between pilot and air traffic control. Satellite and high frequency radio links are used to complement this system for long range or oceanic information exchanges. Other communications systems are required between the airline operation centre and the pilot and sometimes between the passengers and the ground.

A comprehensive guide to current systems, networks and topologies, this book covers application requirements for communication and related radio-navigation and surveillance functions in aeronautical systems. There is also an insight into future possibilities as technologies progress and airspace operation and control scenarios change.

Ideal for civil aviation authorities, airspace management providers and regulatory organizations, Aeronautical Radio Communication Systems and Networks will also appeal to aircraft and radio equipment manufacturers and university students studying aeronautical or electronic engineering.

Key features:

Provides a broad and concise look at the various communications systems on board a typical aircraft from a theoretical, system level and practical standpoint with worked examples and case studies throughout.
Considers all types of aircraft from light aircraft to large commercial jets and specialised supersonic aircraft.
Looks at existing airport radio communication infrastructure and proposals for new very high bandwidth radio applications within the airport environment.
Provides a complete list of formulae for engineering design analysis and quick checks on system performance or interference analysis.

Computer and network systems have given us unlimited opportunities of reducing cost, improving efficiency, and increasing revenues, as demonstrated by an increasing number of computer and network applications. Yet, our dependence on computer and network systems has also exposed us to new risks, which threaten the security of, and present new challenges for protecting our assets and information on computer and network systems. The reliability of computer and network systems ultimately depends on security and quality of service (QoS) performance.

Classical statistical techniques are often inadequate when it comes to analysing some of the large and internally variable datasets common today. Symbolic Data Analysis (SDA) has evolved in response to this problem and is a vital tool for summarizing information in such a way that the resulting data is of a manageable size. Symbolic data, represented by
intervals, lists, histograms, distributions, curves and the like, keeps the “internal variation” of summaries better than standard data. SDA therefore plays a key role in the interaction between statistics and data processing, and has established itself as an important tool for analysing official statistics.

Software testing is traditionally seen as a difficult and time consuming activity that is hard to embed in the software development process. This book provides a different view. It explains to stakeholders how testing can add value to software development and doing business, and provides the tester with practical information.

TestGoal is not just another methodology. Several good testing methodologies exist. But, like any other profession, also testing encompasses more than the simple application of a methodology. After all, strict adherence to a specific methodology is no guarantee for success. Success stems from the mindset, enthusiasm, knowledge and skill of the tester. These factors determine whether a methodology is applied successfully and whether testing takes on a result-driven character. And that’s what TestGoal is about: a result-driven attitude, testing principles and expertise as fundament, and a hands-on six step plan to enable result driven testing.
