Chapter 1 explains what CodeIgniter can do, the 'framework', and how CodeIgniter fits in. It further talks about the open-source business model and gives some disadvantages of CodeIgniter, at the end.Chapter 2 explains what happens when you install the site, and which files will be created. It gives a detailed overview of the required software, and explains the basic configuration of CodeIgniter.
Chapter 3 explains how MVC helps to organize a dynamic website. It goes further to explain the process by which CodeIgniter analyzes an incoming Internet request and decodes which part of your code will handle it. Then CodeIgniter syntax rules and the different types of files or classes you can find—or write for yourself—on a CodeIgniter site are explained. At the end of the chapter, some practical hints on site design are given.
Chapter 4 looks at how you set up a database to work with CodeIgniter, and then how you use the Active Record class to manipulate the database.

FreeBSD and OpenBSD are increasingly gaining traction in
educational institutions, non-profits, and corporations worldwide
because they provide significant security advantages over Linux.
Although a lot can be said for the robustness, clean organization, and
stability of the BSD operating systems, security is one of the main
reasons system administrators use these two platforms.There are plenty of books to help you get a FreeBSD or OpenBSD system off the ground, and all of them touch on security to some extent, usually dedicating a chapter to the subject. But, as security is commonly named as the key concern for today's system administrators, a single chapter on the subject can't provide the depth of information you need to keep your systems secure.
FreeBSD and OpenBSD are rife with security "building blocks" that you can put to use, and Mastering FreeBSD and OpenBSD Security shows you how. Both operating systems have kernel options and filesystem features that go well beyond traditional Unix permissions and controls. This power and flexibility is valuable, but the colossal range of possibilities need to be tackled one step at a time. This book walks you through the installation of a hardened operating system, the installation and configuration of critical services, and ongoing maintenance of your FreeBSD and OpenBSD systems.
Using an application-specific approach that builds on your existing knowledge, the book provides sound technical information on FreeBSD and Open-BSD security with plenty of real-world examples to help you configure and deploy a secure system. By imparting a solid technical foundation as well as practical know-how, it enables administrators to push their server's security to the next level. Even administrators in other environments--like Linux and Solaris--can find useful paradigms to emulate.
Written by security professionals with two decades of operating system experience, Mastering FreeBSD and OpenBSD Security features broad and deep explanations of how how to secure your most critical systems. Where other books on BSD systems help you achieve functionality, this book will help you more thoroughly secure your deployments.
Even bad code can function. But if code isn’t clean, it can bring a
development organization to its knees. Every year, countless hours and
significant resources are lost because of poorly written code. But it
doesn’t have to be that way.Noted software expert Robert C. Martin presents a revolutionary paradigm with Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship. Martin has teamed up with his colleagues from Object Mentor to distill their best agile practice of cleaning code “on the fly” into a book that will instill within you the values of a software craftsman and make you a better programmer—but only if you work at it.
What kind of work will you be doing? You’ll be reading code—lots of code. And you will be challenged to think about what’s right about that code, and what’s wrong with it. More importantly, you will be challenged to reassess your professional values and your commitment to your craft.
Clean Code is divided into three parts. The first describes the principles, patterns, and practices of writing clean code. The second part consists of several case studies of increasing complexity. Each case study is an exercise in cleaning up code—of transforming a code base that has some problems into one that is sound and efficient. The third part is the payoff: a single chapter containing a list of heuristics and “smells” gathered while creating the case studies. The result is a knowledge base that describes the way we think when we write, read, and clean code.
Readers will come away from this book understanding
- How to tell the difference between good and bad code
- How to write good code and how to transform bad code into good code
- How to create good names, good functions, good objects, and good classes
- How to format code for maximum readability
- How to implement complete error handling without obscuring code logic
- How to unit test and practice test-driven development
This is by far the best ‘know all, end all’ reference, bar none. My
hat goes off to Peter Wainwright and Apress for opening up a whole new
world to me." — Eric Wolf (a.k.a. "nawlej"), Codewalkers.com This book
aims to teach you everything you need to know to build, install, and
configure every aspect of Apache, the world's most popular Web server.
Two versions of Apache are now available. Apache 1.3 is still widely
used and is continuously updated. Apache 2 offers new and powerful
features, such as multi-processsing modules and filters, as well as a
revised and expanded build system for compiling Apache from source.
This book comprehensively covers both server versions, presenting
up-to-date information and examples, and highlighting variations
bettween the two releases in context. In addition, this book is
organized to provide solutions to common problems. It answers the
questions that administrators like you typically ask, without requiring
that you know the name of a specific Apache module or directive
beforehand. This book also demonstrates multiple solutions to a
problem, and contrasts the benefits and drawbacks of each approach.
After reading Pro Apache, you'll know not only how to get the results
you want, but also why a solution works the way it does. Finally, this
book examines how to accomplish more advanced configurations, where
individual features must cooperate with each other intelligently. Now
in its third edition, the expertise found in Pro Apache makes it the
definitive guide to harnessing the power of Apache safely and securely.
There's plenty of documentation on installing and configuring the Apache web server, but where do you find help for the day-to-day stuff, like adding common modules or fine-tuning your activity logging? That's easy. The new edition of the Apache Cookbook offers you updated solutions to the problems you're likely to encounter with the new versions of Apache. Written by members of the Apache Software Foundation, and thoroughly revised for Apache versions 2.0 and 2.2, recipes in this book range from simple tasks, such installing the server on Red Hat Linux or Windows, to more complex tasks, such as setting up name-based virtual hosts or securing and managing your proxy server. Altogether, you get more than 200 timesaving recipes for solving a crisis or other deadline conundrums, with topics including:
-
Security
-
Aliases, Redirecting, and Rewriting
-
CGI Scripts, the suexec Wrapper, and other dynamic content techniques
-
Error Handling
-
SSL
Performance
This book tackles everything from beginner problems to those faced by experienced users. For every problem addressed in the book, you will find a worked-out solution that includes short, focused pieces of code you can use immediately. You also get explanations of how and why the code works, so you can adapt the problem-solving techniques to similar situations. Instead of poking around mailing lists, online documentation, and other sources, rely on the Apache Cookbook for quick solutions when you need them. Then you can spend your time and energy where it matters most.

Noted software engineering expert, Martin Fowler, turns his attention
to enterprise application development. He helps professionals
understand the complex--yet critical--aspects of architecture. Enables
the reader to make proper choices when faced with a difficult design
decision. From the Back Cover
The practice of enterprise application development has benefited from the emergence of many new enabling technologies. Multi-tiered object-oriented platforms, such as Java and .NET, have become commonplace. These new tools and technologies are capable of building powerful applications, but they are not easily implemented. Common failures in enterprise applications often occur because their developers do not understand the architectural lessons that experienced object developers have learned.
Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture is written in direct response to the stiff challenges that face enterprise application developers. The author, noted object-oriented designer Martin Fowler, noticed that despite changes in technology--from Smalltalk to CORBA to Java to .NET--the same basic design ideas can be adapted and applied to solve common problems. With the help of an expert group of contributors, Martin distills over forty recurring solutions into patterns. The result is an indispensable handbook of solutions that are applicable to any enterprise application platform.
This book is actually two books in one. The first section is a short tutorial on developing enterprise applications, which you can read from start to finish to understand the scope of the book's lessons. The next section, the bulk of the book, is a detailed reference to the patterns themselves. Each pattern provides usage and implementation information, as well as detailed code examples in Java or C#. The entire book is also richly illustrated with UML diagrams to further explain the concepts.
Armed with this book, you will have the knowledge necessary to make important architectural decisions about building an enterprise application and the proven patterns for use when building them.
The topics covered include:
For those of you who develop standalone Windows applications for PCs
and other devices, Microsoft's .NET Windows Forms provide a much better
way to get it done. This new technology gives you more power and
flexibility for a fraction of the effort compared to classic Win32
development, with a streamlined programming model that deals
automatically with many tedious details that once plagued developers.
As with most things .NET, the only hitch is the learning curve. But
that's where acclaimed author Jesse Liberty makes the difference with Programming .NET Windows Applications.
With this tutorial, you will explore all aspects of using .NET Windows
Forms class libraries and the associated programming tools in Visual
Studio .NET, enabling you to build applications for the Windows 9x,
Windows 2000 and Windows XP desktop platforms. Step-by-step, you'll
learn ways to design applications that either function alone on a PC,
or work in combination with your web-based application server to take
advantage of the richer interface and higher level of security. The
book also explains how your new Windows applications can sidestep
problems that used to arise from the use of DLLs (known collectively as
"DLL hell"), and how .NET Windows Forms can be used as an alternative
to ASP.NET and browser-based approaches for building web application
clients. Jesse Liberty definitely knows his stuff when it comes to the
.NET platform. As the author of O'Reilly's Programming C# and Learning Visual Basic .NET,
he's well-known for his clear and concise style that prompted one
reviewer to say, "It's as if he knows exactly what questions I'm going
to ask ahead of time." Jesse also co-authored Programming ASP.NET
with contract programmer Dan Hurwitz, and now the two have teamed up
again to bring you this comprehensive tutorial--without a doubt, the
best source available for learning how to program with .NET Windows
Forms.

In the three years since Microsoft made C# available, there have been lots of
tweaks to the language. That's because C# is not only essential for making .NET
work, it's a big way for Microsoft to attract millions of Java, C and C++
developers to the platform. And C# has definitely made some inroads. Because of
its popularity among developers, the language received standardization from ECMA
International, making it possible to port C# applications to other platforms. To
bolster its appeal, C# 2.0 has undergone some key changes as part of Visual
Studio 2005 that will make development with .NET quicker and easier. That's
precisely what Visual C# 2005: A Developer's Notebook allows you to do.
There are some great new features in C# and this unique "all lab, no lecture"
guide covers them all with 50 hands-on projects. Each project explores a new
feature, with emphasis on changes that increase productivity, simplify
programming tasks, and add functionality to applications. C#'s component-based
design combines the productivity of Microsoft's popular Visual Basic with the
raw power of C++ for web-based applications. Many reviewers note a similarity
between C# and Java--in fact, a new feature that took the Java development team
five years to incorporate into Java is now available in C# 2.0. Called
"generics", this feature enables developers to reuse and customize their
existing code, so they can dramatically cut down the time it takes to develop
new applications. Visual C# 2005: A Developer's Notebook is full of
no-nonsense code without the usual page-filling commentary. You'll find
suggestions for further experimentation, links to on-line documentation, plus
practical notes and warnings. The book also tells developers how to acquire,
install and configure Visual Studio 2005. Are you a coder to the core? Learn
what C# 2.0 can do for you now.

Like any other software system, Web sites gradually accumulate
“cruft” over time. They slow down. Links break. Security and
compatibility problems mysteriously appear. New features don’t
integrate seamlessly. Things just don’t work as well. In an ideal
world, you’d rebuild from scratch. But you can’t: there’s no time or
money for that. Fortunately, there’s a solution: You can refactor your
Web code using easy, proven techniques, tools, and recipes adapted from
the world of software development. In Refactoring HTML, Elliotte Rusty Harold explains how to use refactoring to improve virtually any Web site or application. Writing for programmers and non-programmers alike, Harold shows how to refactor for better reliability, performance, usability, security, accessibility, compatibility, and even search engine placement. Step by step, he shows how to migrate obsolete code to today’s stable Web standards, including XHTML, CSS, and REST—and eliminate chronic problems like presentation-based markup, stateful applications, and “tag soup.”
The book’s extensive catalog of detailed refactorings and practical “recipes for success” are organized to help you find specific solutions fast, and get maximum benefit for minimum effort. Using this book, you can quickly improve site performance now—and make your site far easier to enhance, maintain, and scale for years to come.
In 1994, Design Patterns changed the landscape of object-oriented development by introducing classic solutions to recurring design problems. In 1999, Refactoring revolutionized design by introducing an effective process for improving code. With the highly anticipated Refactoring to Patterns, Joshua Kerievsky has changed our approach to design by forever uniting patterns with the evolutionary process of refactoring.
This book introduces the theory and practice of pattern-directed refactorings: sequences of low-level refactorings that allow designers to safely move designs to, towards, or away from pattern implementations. Using code from real-world projects, Kerievsky documents the thinking and steps underlying over two dozen pattern-based design transformations. Along the way he offers insights into pattern differences and how to implement patterns in the simplest possible ways.

CVS (Concurrent Versions System) is a
tool that enables you to track changes to a set of files over time. CVS
is commonly used in software development to allow multiple developers
to coordinate changes, track versions, and permit simultaneous
development of different versions of the same code.
This book is not just for software developers. It is for anyone who produces things that change. CVS can manage versions of anything that can be stored in files, so it is useful for programmers, system administrators, software architects, writers, graphic artists, and user-interface (UI) specialists. Outside the computing field, it can be used by authors, poets, managers, architects, engineers, accountants, and people running their everyday lives.

Doom, the video game in which you navigate a dungeon in the first person and messily lay waste to everything that crosses your path, represented a milestone in many areas. It was a technical landmark, in that its graphics engine delivered brilliant performance on ordinary PC hardware.
FreeBSD is by far the most popular version of BSD®, the legendary
operating system that has contributed a great deal to every version of
Unix® in use today (including Mac OS® X). Originally a community effort
by the University of California at Berkeley, FreeBSD was aimed at
making Unix a little friendlier and easier to use. By the time other
free operating systems came along, BSD was firmly established and very
reliable. And it continues to be today. For seven years, the FreeBSD
community has relied on Greg Lehey's classic, The Complete FreeBSD,
to guide them through its configuration and administration. The 4th
edition, covering version 5 of FreeBSD, is now available through
O'Reilly Community Press. The Complete FreeBSD is an eminently
practical guidebook that explains not only how to get a computer up and
running with the FreeBSD operating system, but also how to turn it into
a highly functional and secure server that can host large numbers of
users and disks, support remote access, and provide web service, mail
service, and other key parts of the Internet infrastructure. The book
provides in-depth information on installation and updates, back-ups,
printers, RAID, various Internet services, firewalls, the graphical X
Window system, and much more. Author Greg Lehey is a member of the
FreeBSD core team and has been developing, documenting, and advocating
for FreeBSD for nearly ten years. Whether you're an experienced Unix
user or just interested in learning more about this free operating
system and how you can put it to work for you, this do-it-yourself BSD
documentation will provide the information you need. The Complete FreeBSD
is the second release in the O'Reilly Community Press Series. Unlike
classic O'Reilly animal books, which are created to fill an information
void, the Community Press titles provide convenient printed copies of
documentation that is already available online. O'Reilly's role in the
series is limited to providing manufacturing and distribution services
rather than editorial development, so that each Community Press title
reflects the editorial voice and organization of the community that has
created it.
The need for a modern source-code management strategy in the
distributed open-source community is paramount. The benevolent
dictatorship model of open-source maintainers is only quasi-stable, but
it is far better than the other extreme: the chaos of democratic code
development.
The best available compromise is the concurrent versioning system (CVS), which introduces proctored code merging into source code management. CVS is ideally suited for worldwide open-source development, and the world is ready for monographs that address the management issues that Per Cederqvist explicitly avoided in his fine 164-page postscript manual distributed with the CVS tar-ball. What is the role of a maintainer/manager in establishing test protocols for code merges? What minimal functional level of developer communications is necessary for merges to remain stable? Is a maintainer-less release possible?
These questions go largely unanswered in Karl Fogel's new Open Source Development with CVS. Fogel's 300-page book consists of chapters alternating between CVS basics and common code maintenance issues. He includes a few anecdotes from open-source lore and lots of nonspecific commonsense guidelines on team software development.
Fogel is at his best when he is engaging us in thinking about what should and should not be under CVS control. He points out that complex relationships exist between developing code and its dependencies on intimately related applications, such as build tools themselves (gcc, autoconf) or partner applications (e.g., the server's client or the client's server). His brief discussion of strategies is too short to be satisfying.
Frustratingly, this book is chock-full of postmodern self-indulgences, such as his boasting reverence for technological ignorance. The discipline needed by good maintainers is missing here; Fogel's informal prose is often grating, and his copious parenthetical remarks are distracting or bullying (they sure are); one wonders where his editor was. Ultimately, his management arguments boil down to an endorsement for the benevolent dictatorship model--a safe conclusion, but one that seems not to use CVS's merging capability for all it's worth. To the question of how to run a project, he responds, "Well, we're all still trying to figure that out, actually." True, and he isn't there yet, but at least he has the questions right. --Peter Leopold --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.The popular first edition was one of the first books available on development and implementation of open source software using CVS.

Do you love video games? Ever wondered if you could create one of your
own, with all the bells and whistles? It's not as complicated as you'd
think, and you don't need to be a math whiz or a programming genius to
do it. In fact, everything you need to create your first game,
"Invasion of the Slugwroths," is included in this book and CD-ROM.
Author David Conger starts at square one, introducing the tools of the
trade and all the basic concepts for getting started programming with
C++, the language that powers most current commercial games. Plus, he's
put a wealth of top-notch (and free) tools on the CD-ROM, including the
Dev-C++ compiler, linker, and debugger--and his own LlamaWorks2D game
engine. Step-by-step instructions and ample illustrations take you
through game program structure, integrating sound and music into games,
floating-point math, C++ arrays, and much more. Using the sample
programs and the source code to run them, you can follow along as you
learn. Bio: David Conger has been programming professionally for over
23 years. Along with countless custom business applications, he has
written several PC and online games. Conger also worked on graphics
firmware for military aircraft, and taught computer science at the
university level for four years. Conger has written numerous books on
C, C++, and other computer-related topics. He lives in western
Washington State and has also published a collection of Indian folk
tales.The first video game I ever played (at age 13) was Pong. It was a very simple ping-pong simulation. During my teenage years, a few, more advanced games appeared on the market. Most notable were the Atari games such as Missile Command, a nuclear warfare simulator. When I was 19, I went to live for a couple of years in Japan. There I discovered a whole new worldseveral, in fact.
Zend's new PHP 5 Certification Exam represent an excellent tool for
professional PHP developers who want to distinguish themselves in their
field. php|architect's Zend PHP 5 Certification Study Guide, edited and
produced by the publishers of php|architect magazine, provides the most
comprehensive and thorough preparation tool for developers who wish to
take the exam. This book provides complete coverage of every topic that
is part of the exam, including: ? PHP Basics ? Functions ? Arrays ?
Strings and Patterns ? Web Programming ? Object Oriented Programming ?
Database Programming ? Object-oriented Design ? XML and Web Services ?
Security ? Streams and Network Programming ? Differences Between PHP 4
and 5 Written by PHP professionals and Zend Certified PHP 5 Engineers
Davey Shafik and Ben Ramsey, and reviewed by core PHP developer Derick
Rethans, this is the perfect book for every prospective Zend Certified
PHP Engineer candidate!With PHP breaking new ground in the enterprise arena, the establishment of a ratified certification was, some might say, inevitable. However, for me, it couldn’t come soon enough—and I was ecstatic when Zend launched their PHP 4 Certification. With more than 1,500 certified engineers to date, there is no doubt that their endeavour has been a success.
Now, with the introduction of the long-awaited PHP 5 certification, Zend has once again raised the bar for PHP developers everywhere. This examination is much broader, and requires much more than just theoretical knowledge—in order to pass the test, candidates need real-world knowledge in addition to a solid theoretical background.
The effect of the PHP 5 certification, for me, is even more profound than that of the original certification, and I believe that it will become the gold standard for those looking to hire PHP-centric Web Developers. I think that it is apt to consider Zend’s work a job well done, and to applaud those who invest the time and effort needed to become Zend Certified Engineers.

"This book is not just another SQL text. The author's use of simple yet
clear examples to illustrate difficult concepts throughout the text
makes this a perfect book for use in an introductory database systems
class as a supplement or as an introductory reference for the novice
practitioner."- Paul Fortier, University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth
"The book lives up to its title: it is a very practical guide. The authors clearly know their SQL and manage to write about the language in a step-by-step style that progresses smoothly from the simple to the more difficult aspects of the language. The profuse use of examples, each with an accompanying motivation and explanation of the results, lets the reader follow even complex topics without a constant struggle. The authors have even included examples that illustrate common errors programmers make, explaining the right way to perform the task. It doesn't hurt that the sample application is based on something everybody uses every day: food."
- Jim Melton, Oracle Corporation

Brian Noyes' writing style easily captures your attention as he
elaborates on all aspects of data binding in his book. He has a
refreshingly clear and crisp delivery as he starts each chapter with a
simple tour of each topic, and then leads you into practical concerns
for sound practices and extensibility opportunities. Most importantly,
as Brian explains approaches to data-binding architecture, patterns of
usage, the value of data sets, binding controls and the rest, he always
describes how he reaches his recommendations on the topic. This book is
perfect for newcomers to .NET 2.0, but also for those that have some
experience. Anyone who cares about data in their applications (okay,
that should be almost everyone) is guaranteed to learn something new
and useful by reading Brian's book." --Michele Leroux Bustamante,
IDesign chief architect, Microsoft regional director, and MVP"Brian has
saved me a lot of time. I'm writing The Hitchhiker's Guide to Visual
Studio and SQL Server 2005 (7th Edition) and I'm not going to have to
cover data binding nearly as deeply because Brian has done it for me.
His book gets right to the meat of the subject and makes data binding
look easy.I was also pleased to see that the book focuses on the
misunderstood and under-applied Windows Forms architecture. It's a
must-read for anyone trying to make their application more interactive
and to leverage the new Visual Studio 2005 technology. I'm planning to
point my readers to this resource when they need an in-depth treatment
of data binding." --William Vaughn, president, Beta V Corporation"Data
binding has finally come of age in Windows applications. Back in the
Visual Studio 6.0 days, I ignored data binding completely and wrote my
own repetitive code to encapsulate my business logic. With Visual
Studio 2005, we finally have a robust and compelling data-binding
technology. To ignore it today would make you inefficient and put you
behind the curve. Brian delivers a clear and concise discussion of a
core topic of development for Windows today. A combination of an
easy-to-follow conversational yet technical tone, excellent examples,
and solid explanations make this a must-read for any developer writing
for Windows or learning to write for Windows."
