How To Open Locks With Improvised Tools: Practical, Non-Destructive Ways Of Getting Back Into Just About Everything When You Lose Your Keys
Posted: February 11th, 2008, 10:10pm CET

Tags:  How to Open Locks with   [edit]


Practical, real-world solutions to lockouts. Learn to open doorknobs, deadbolts, car doors, padlocks, handcuffs, et cetera. This book sold out as "Lock Bypass Methods," and has proven to be the best manual on keyless entry available. Since your resources are usually on the other side of the door when you're locked out, it shows how to improvise tools from garbage and common, everday items. Multiple entrance options are provided in case of stubborn doors or limited materials. Thousands of people have successfully opened doors using techniques they learned in "Lock Bypass Methods." This expanded edition has more illustrations and new techniques. This book will not waste your time trying to explain how to pick sidebar locks, or activate magnetic-stripe readers without a key card. It DOES explain how to open doors protected by these locks, simply and without damage, through bypass techniques. A latch holds something shut, and a lock is a gateway to that latch. This book teaches ways to climb over the fence and ignore the gate. You will learn how to pick locks, a skill that works 60-70% of the time. More importantly, you will learn methods to trip actuators, move linkage rods, take advantage of mechanical design flaws, exploit tolerances in a lock's setting, and other practical means of entry. The book's focus is on problem solving, not presenting methods that are too difficult to accomplish. Many other books in this field suffer from too much theory and too little delivery.

Image Processing: Dealing With Texture
Posted: January 31st, 2008, 10:07pm CET

Tags:  Image Processing Dealing with Texture   [edit]


Self-contained text covering practical image processing methods and theory for image texture analysis. Techniques for the analysis of texture in digital images are essential to a range of applications in areas as diverse as robotics, defence, medicine and the geo-sciences. In biological vision, texture is an important cue allowing humans to discriminate objects. This is because the brain is able to decipher important variations in data at scales smaller than those of the viewed objects. In order to deal with texture in digital data, many techniques have been developed by image processing researchers. With a wholly practical approach and many worked examples, Image Processing: Dealing with Texture is a comprehensive guide to these techniques, including chapters on mathematical morphology, fractals, Markov random fields, Gabor functions and wavelets. Structured around a series of questions and answers, enabling readers to easily locate information on specific problems, this book also: * provides detailed descriptions of methods used to analyse binary as well as grey texture images * presents information on two levels: an easy-to-follow narrative explaining the basics, and an advanced, in-depth study of mathematical theorems and concepts * looks at 'good' and 'bad' image processing practice, with wrongly designed algorithms illustrating 'what not to do' * includes an accompanying website, setting out all algorithms discussed within the text.

This is one of the courses offered at Game Institute. You can visit http://www.gameinstitute.com/courses.php for more information. In Part I of this series you will explore the fundamentals of 3D graphics rendering. The focus throughout these early lessons is on the core features of the DirectX 9 fixed-function rendering pipeline. This includes loading and drawing geometric objects, the use of lighting and textures to provide scene detail, developing camera systems for viewing simulation environments in real-time, and using alpha components for controlling object transparency to produce effects like glass and water. Why should I take the course? This DirectX9 Graphics Programming course was specifically designed to be the first course that a student takes at Game Institute following their C++ training. It represents the beginning of the core training you will receive here at Game Institute as you study to become a professional game developer. Although this is a targeted as a beginner/intermediate level course, even if you have some previous 3D graphics experience, you are likely to encounter a significant amount of useful information and learn some new techniques along the way. This is the first DirectX programming course in a multi-part series on 3D Game Engine Programming (and DirectX Graphics version 9). The application framework you build in this course will be greatly expanded in Module II and then further still in a set of targeted workshops dealing with advanc Read more...




Essential ASP.NET with Examples in Visual Basic .NET (+source code)
Posted: September 7th, 2007, 2:29pm CEST

Tags:  Essential ASP.NET with Examples in   [edit]


With coverage not found in other titles and endorsed by the architects of ASP.NET, this book is essential for any serious ASP.NET developer. Covers Visual Basic.NET. This book will provide the definitive resource for ASP.NET developers working in Visual Basic .NET, not just to the features of ASP.NET but also how to use them best. Fritz Onion looks at working examples of how Web applications are built today, and then looks at what ASP.NET offers to simplify constructing Web applications of this type. In addition to explaining how to use ASP.NET and examining why it is built the way it is, Onion also explores implementation tools not covered in any other books. He helps the reader acquire a broader understanding of the technology and how it fits in with other tools. From his experience teaching ASP.NET to working developers, Onion knows what information they need, what questions they have, and how to organize and present the material in the best way possible. As Justin Burtch, a Software Engineer at Integrated Data Systems expressed it, "This book does not try to be everything to everyone. As a result, it is able to provide both breadth and depth on the subject. Essential ASP.NET is positioned to become the seminal book on the most important advancement to web development in years." This book begins with a discussion of the rationale behind the design of ASP.NET and an introduction to how it builds on top of the .NET framework. Subsequent chapters explore the host of ne Read more...




Inside Relational Databases with Examples in Access

Tags:  Inside Relational Databases with Examples   [edit]


Aimed at equipping students with the necessary skills to build practical databases in the real world as well as ensuring that they have a sufficient theoretical grounding in the subject. Database books currently tend to fall into two categories: highly theoretical and detailed textbooks and manuals which teach how to use the software but not the underlying theory. Neither type of book explains why the reader would want to do many of the things they describe. Marklyn and Whitehorn cover essential relational database theory and explain how to build databases securely - without bogging them down into too much detail and endless formulae. They start by explaining interface components and letting you build working databases. Along the way the authors guide you through potential disasters and provide the techniques to avoid them. Inside Relational Databases is aimed at equipping students with the necessary skills to build practical databases in the 'real world' as well as ensuring that they have a sufficient theoretical grounding in the subject. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Tags:  My Voice Will Go with   [edit]


Milton Erickson has been called the most influential hypnotherapist of our time. Closely related to his therapy was his use of "teaching tales." Calling upon shock, surprise, confusion-with generous use of questions, puns, and playful humor-he seeded suggestions indirectly and positively with these tales, here gathered together by Dr. Rosen. These stories are case studies, people with all sorts of problems, and very interesting solutions, and great stories. Think of Milton Erickson as someone who was a master of effecting life altering personal change by being able to communicate on a deeper level. Applied to yourself you can most likely imagine the effect you can have on yourself and others and how you can win friends and influence people by learning this skill. Ground-breaking and revolutionary describe the work of Milton Erickson. With no direct method available to comprehend Erickson's complex therapy style Teaching Tales allows insight into his work. The understanding one develops from reading the highly engaging text comes about as each tale represents a piece of the puzzle of what it is to be a human learning our way through this world. Always focused on the fundamental experience of people, Erickson through the exposition of Sidney Rosen, elucidates his basic and profound vision of what makes all of us play, work, and especially learn to be better.

Database Access With Visual Basic .NET 3rd Edition (with source code)

ISBN 10 : 0672323435

Database Access with Visual Basic .NET continues to use techniques developed by Jeffrey McManus that provide solutions to problems faced by developers every day. Since data access is the most used feature in corporate development, it is important for developers to understand the most effective and efficient way to access data using .NET technologies. This book provides clear explanations of how to use ADO.NET to access data stored in relational databases, as well as how XML integrates with ADO.NET. The authors use their years of experience to relate key topics to real-world applications through use of Business Cases that include code listings in Visual Basic .NET.

The purpose of this book is to show you how to develop database applications, using Visual Basic.NET and ADO.NET. Even though we expect that most readers will be working with SQL Server, we do not assume that they are experienced with it. You may be new to database applications or only have experience with other databases such as Microsoft Access or Oracle. We have therefore included a hefty overview of Microsoft SQL Server in Chapter 3. If you are experienced with SQL Server, you may want to skip this chapter. However, it covers a wide variety of topics, and you may still find a "nugget" or two that would make reading the chapter worthwhile.

We assume that you are already familiar with Visual Basic.NET (VB.NET). Although we give step-by-step coding instructions and code examples, we do not cover VB.NET syntax in this book. We assume that you are reasonably comfortable with VB.NET and Visual Studio.NET (VS.NET) and do not waste your time reviewing fundamental concepts. For example, we do not normally step through basic tasks, such as opening and saving project files, except maybe the first time you encounter them. We do, however, often show how to do the same thing in several different ways€�we hope that this will extend your knowledge of VB.NET, without rehashing the basics. You may also notice variant coding styles, and even screen shots on different versions of Windows€�all illustrating the flexibility of VB.NET.

If you€™re new to Visual Basic .NET, this book gets you started right. By chapter 3, you€™ll be developing simple but complete applications. By chapter 5, you€™ll be doing some serious programming. And by chapter 7, you€™ll be able to code, test, and debug object-oriented programs with Visual Basic .NET.

Of course, there€™s a lot more to Visual Basic .NET than one beginning book can cover. But this book gets you started with all of the important features and capabilities of Visual Basic .NET and prepares you for learning more about them on your own. That€™s why we say that no other book or course will get you started faster or better than this book.

This book is for anyone who wants to learn how to use Visual Basic .NET for developing business applications. It works if you have no programming experience at all. It works if you have programming experience with another language like COBOL or Java. It works if you already know Visual Basic 6. And it works if you€™ve already read three or four other Visual Basic .NET books and still don€™t know how to develop a real-world business application.

If you€™re completely new to programming, the prerequisites are minimal. First, you need to be familiar with the Windows interface. This means that you have used Windows applications like Word or Excel so you€™re comfortable with tasks like opening, saving, printing, and closing files. Second, you should know how to use the Windows Explorer to copy folders and files from one location to another.

How To Open Locks With Improvised Tools: Practical, Non-Destructive Ways Of Getting Back Into Just About Everything When You Lose Your Keys
Posted: February 11th, 2008, 10:10pm CET

Tags:  How to Open Locks with   [edit]


Practical, real-world solutions to lockouts. Learn to open doorknobs, deadbolts, car doors, padlocks, handcuffs, et cetera. This book sold out as "Lock Bypass Methods," and has proven to be the best manual on keyless entry available. Since your resources are usually on the other side of the door when you're locked out, it shows how to improvise tools from garbage and common, everday items. Multiple entrance options are provided in case of stubborn doors or limited materials. Thousands of people have successfully opened doors using techniques they learned in "Lock Bypass Methods." This expanded edition has more illustrations and new techniques. This book will not waste your time trying to explain how to pick sidebar locks, or activate magnetic-stripe readers without a key card. It DOES explain how to open doors protected by these locks, simply and without damage, through bypass techniques. A latch holds something shut, and a lock is a gateway to that latch. This book teaches ways to climb over the fence and ignore the gate. You will learn how to pick locks, a skill that works 60-70% of the time. More importantly, you will learn methods to trip actuators, move linkage rods, take advantage of mechanical design flaws, exploit tolerances in a lock's setting, and other practical means of entry. The book's focus is on problem solving, not presenting methods that are too difficult to accomplish. Many other books in this field suffer from too much theory and too little delivery.

Image Processing: Dealing With Texture

Tags:  Image Processing Dealing with Texture   [edit]


Self-contained text covering practical image processing methods and theory for image texture analysis. Techniques for the analysis of texture in digital images are essential to a range of applications in areas as diverse as robotics, defence, medicine and the geo-sciences. In biological vision, texture is an important cue allowing humans to discriminate objects. This is because the brain is able to decipher important variations in data at scales smaller than those of the viewed objects. In order to deal with texture in digital data, many techniques have been developed by image processing researchers. With a wholly practical approach and many worked examples, Image Processing: Dealing with Texture is a comprehensive guide to these techniques, including chapters on mathematical morphology, fractals, Markov random fields, Gabor functions and wavelets. Structured around a series of questions and answers, enabling readers to easily locate information on specific problems, this book also: * provides detailed descriptions of methods used to analyse binary as well as grey texture images * presents information on two levels: an easy-to-follow narrative explaining the basics, and an advanced, in-depth study of mathematical theorems and concepts * looks at 'good' and 'bad' image processing practice, with wrongly designed algorithms illustrating 'what not to do' * includes an accompanying website, setting out all algorithms discussed within the text.
