Microsoft Expression Blend Unleashed is about learning a new tool for designers, but also learning a new mindset for developers. Expression Blend enables the delivery of rich interactive applications, for the web as well as the desktop, allowing you to take graphical assets and blend them with functional .NET code through the power of XAML and the WPF platform. Microsoft Expression Blend Unleashed also features a C# Primer, introducing designers to the .NET Framework. .NET allows the reader to extend the functionality of many of the WPF elements used in Expression Blend. The most important concept for the reader to grasp is that Blend and Visual Studio together are about facilitating the kind of user experience everyone wants from the applications they use. This book will give you the skill set whether you are a designer or developer; from there, you just need to use a little imagination.

Detailed information on how to…

* Design and develop WPF applications
* Use Blend’s animation workflows
* Design and implement WPF template types
* Create and manage Resource Dictionaries
* Master WPF Style templates
* Handle control events
* Understand advanced control properties in XAML/Blend/C#

Special Edition Using Linux
870 pages | Que; 4th edition (October 1998) | ISBN: 0789717468 | PDF | 4 Mb
This latest version of Special Edition Using Linux shows how to install, configure, use, and network the latest generation of freeware Linux operating systems. The authors focus mostly on the freeware version of Red Hat Linux 5.1, though Caldera OpenLinux 1.2 and other popular distributions also receive attention. The book includes lots of information on how to successfully accessorize Linux with various add-ons. The authors explain how to install and use XFree 86, the popular X Windows system. They also show what you can do with various utilities.

Using Linux offers excellent coverage of networking matters. Not only do Tackett and Burnett do a great job of showing how to get the Apache Web server running under Linux, they show how to configure TCP/IP and set up a Domain Name Service (DNS). Some fluff--"how to surf the Web" material--inevitably sneaks in, but it doesn't detract much from this otherwise solid book.

The disks that come with this book contain the freeware versions of Red Hat Linux 5.1 and Caldera OpenLinux 1.2--two of the best distributions around. There's also a copy of StarOffice 4 in the sleeve, making Using Linux a complete Linux solution.

Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires
180 pages | Adam Khoo Publishing Ltd. (2004) | ISBN: 9810508565 | PDF | 15 Mb
If you think Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad Poor Dad" is an excellent book, wait till you read Adam Khoo's "Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires" before you comment further. Some of you might not have heard of Adam Khoo before, let me give you a quick introduction!

Adam Khoo is a Singapore entrepreneur, a best selling author and a peak performance trainer. A self-made millionaire by the age of 26, he owns and runs three businesses with a combined annual turnover of $20m. He is the CEO of Adam Khoo Learning Technologies Group Pte Ltd, one of Asia's Largest Public Training Companies and Education Group.To prove that he is not a dud, check out his company's website, www.akltg.com

He got rich first with his 3 brick-and-mortar businesses before he wrote "Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires". The point I want to make to you is that he made his money first, before he ever taught anyone how to start earning their first million bucks, because there are some guys out there who get rich by selling "How to Get Rich eBooks" which are total crap. You get what I mean?

His latest book, Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires (SSMM), is the BEST finance book I have read so far. It is the most practical, powerful and comprehensive book ever written on how to create, manage, multiply and enjoy your money. It is a must read for entrepreneurs, managers, professionals, executives and anybody who has ever dreamt of getting out of the rat race and onto the path of financial freedom. SSMM makes "Rich Dad Poor Dad" looks like a book written for kids. Why do I say so? If you realized, a lot of self-help or finance books are all very conceptual or theoretical.

Description: Use PowerShell to Streamline and Automate Your Most Time-Consuming Windows Administration Tasks

With Windows PowerShell, Microsoft brings innovative console-based system administration and scripting to Windows clients and servers. PowerShell combines the best features of traditional UNIX shells with the immense power of the .NET Framework, offering a consistent and easy-to-use replacement for both the Windows command line and the Windows Script Host. In Essential PowerShell, noted expert Holger Schwichtenberg gives Windows sysadmins all the knowledge and sample scripts they need to successfully administer production systems with PowerShell.

Schwichtenberg begins by introducing the innovative PowerShell architecture, along with crucial PowerShell concepts such as pipelining and navigation. Next, he introduces the PowerShell Script Language, shows the secure execution of command sequences as scripts, and demonstrates how to use PowerShell to access essential operating system interfaces such as COM, WMI, ADSI, and ADO.NET.

After you’ve mastered the fundamentals, Schwichtenberg presents an extensive collection of PowerShell solutions for virtually every area of day-to-day administration. For each topic, he presents dozens of self-contained examples, all downloadable from a companion Web site. He covers both Microsoft’s standard PowerShell commandlets and the free commandlets available as PowerShell Community Extensions. He also presents a full chapter of tips, tricks, and troubleshooting solutions. Coverage includes

Understanding PowerShell’s components and features
Setting up your PowerShell scripting environment
Creating and using commandlets
Using object-oriented pipelining for filtering, sorting, grouping, comparisons, calculations, and more

Description: Pipeline engineering has struggled to develop as a single field of study due to the wide range of industries and government organizations using different types of pipelines for all types of solids, liquids, and gases. This fragmentation has impeded professional development, job mobility, technology transfer, the diffusion of knowledge, and the movement of manpower. No single, authoritative course or book has existed to unite practitioners. In response, Pipeline Engineering covers the essential aspects and types of pipeline engineering in a single volume. This work is divided into two parts. Part I, Pipe Flows, delivers an integrated treatment of all variants of pipe flow including incompressible and compressible, Newtonian and non-Newtonian, slurry and multiphase flows, capsule flows, and pneumatic transport of solids. Part II, Engineering Considerations, summarizes the equipment and methods required for successful planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of pipelines. By addressing the fundamentals of pipeline engineering-concepts, theories, equations, and facts-this groundbreaking text identifies the cornerstones of the discipline, providing engineers with a springboard to success in the field. It is a must-read for all pipeline engineers.
