"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
"This book's authors recognize the vast majority of work done with a database is data retrieval (rather than storage) and have focused on this area."

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."
Silverlight is a lightweight browser plug–in that frees your code from the traditional confines of the browser.

Beginning Linux Programming, Fourth Edition continues its unique
approach to teaching UNIX programming in a simple and structured way on
the Linux platform. Through the use of detailed and realistic examples,
students learn by doing, and are able to move from being a Linux
beginner to creating custom applications in Linux. The book introduces
fundamental concepts beginning with the basics of writing Unix programs
in C, and including material on basic system calls, file I/O,
interprocess communication (for getting programs to work together), and
shell programming. Parallel to this, the book introduces the toolkits
and libraries for working with user interfaces, from simpler terminal
mode applications to X and GTK+ for graphical user interfaces. Advanced
topics are covered in detail such as processes, pipes, semaphores,
socket programming, using MySQL, writing applications for the GNOME or
the KDE desktop, writing device drivers, POSIX Threads, and kernel
programming for the latest Linux Kernel.
This book is about writing software that makes the most effective use
of the system you're running on -- code that interfaces directly with
the kernel and core system libraries, including the shell, text editor,
compiler, debugger, core utilities, and system daemons. The majority of
both Unix and Linux code is still written at the system level, and
Linux System Programming focuses on everything above the kernel, where
applications such as Apache, bash, cp, vim, Emacs, gcc, gdb, glibc, ls,
mv, and X exist. Written primarily for engineers looking to program
(better) at the low level, this book is an ideal teaching tool for any
programmer. Even with the trend toward high-level development, either
through web software (such as PHP) or managed code (C#), someone still
has to write the PHP interpreter and the C# virtual machine. Linux
System Programming gives you an understanding of core internals that
makes for better code, no matter where it appears in the stack.
Debugging high-level code often requires you to understand the system
calls and kernel behavior of your operating system, too. Key topics
include: An overview of Linux, the kernel, the C library, and the C
compiler Reading from and writing to files, along with other basic file
I/O operations, including how the Linux kernel implements and manages
file I/O Buffer size management, including the Standard I/O library
Advanced I/O interfaces, memory mappings, and optimization techniques
The family of system calls for basic process management Advanced
process management, including real-time processes File and
directories-creating, moving, copying, deleting, and managing them
Memory management -- interfaces for allocating memory, managingthe
memory you have, and optimizing your memory access Signals and their
role on a Unix system, plus basic and advanced signal interfaces Time,
sleeping, and clock management, starting with the basics and continuing
through POSIX clocks and high resolution timers With Linux System
Programming, you will be able to take an in-depth look at Linux from
both a theoretical and an applied perspective as you cover a wide range
of programming topics.
The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) offers a variety of compilers for different programming languages including C, C++, Java, Fortran, and Ada. The Definitive Guide to GCC, Second Edition has been revised to reflect the changes made in the most recent major GCC release, version 4. Providing in-depth information on GCC's enormous array of features and options, and introducing crucial tools such as autoconf, gprof, and libtool, this book functions as both a guide and reference.
This book goes well beyond a general introduction to GCC and covers key programming techniques such as profiling and optimization that, when used in conjunction with GCCs advanced features, can greatly improve application performance. This second edition will prove to be an invaluable resource, whether youre a student seeking familiarity with this crucial tool or an expert who uses GCC on a daily basis.
According to IDC, over 170,000 new servers were shipped in the first
quarter of 2003. That also means that there were potentially more than
170,000 people like you charged with administering these systems
without the proper knowledge or training to do so. Linux Shell Scripting with Bash
will help you learn to not only get your system up and running quickly
by employing the Bash shell, but it will also show you professional
scripting solutions through the use of structured programming and
standard Linux development tools. The book focuses on the Linux
environment, which the shell relies on to function, and the robust
Linux tool set, making this book ideal for learning shell scripting.
Real-world scripts are included that are readable, extendable and easy
to debug. This book is an asset to any Linux user.
In order to thoroughly understand what makes Linux tick and why it
works so well on a wide variety of systems, you need to delve deep into
the heart of the kernel. The kernel handles all interactions between
the CPU and the external world, and determines which programs will
share processor time, in what order. It manages limited memory so well
that hundreds of processes can share the system efficiently, and
expertly organizes data transfers so that the CPU isn't kept waiting
any longer than necessary for the relatively slow disks. The third edition of "Understanding the Linux Kernel" takes you on a guided tour of the most significant data structures, algorithms, and programming tricks used in the kernel. Probing beyond superficial features, the authors offer valuable insights to people who want to know how things really work inside their machine. Important Intel-specific features are discussed. Relevant segments of code are dissected line by line. But the book covers more than just the functioning of the code; it explains the theoretical underpinnings of why Linux does things the way it does.
The most difficult part of building a server with FreeBSD, the
Unix-like operating system, is arguably software installation and
configuration. Finding the software is easy enough; getting everything
up and running is another thing entirely. The only option for many
people has been to hire a consultant. Building a Server with FreeBSD 7 is for those of us who prefer to build our own server. If you're a small business owner looking for a reliable email server, a curious Windows administrator, or if you just want to put that old computer in the closet to work, you'll learn how to get things up and running quickly. Then, once you have a working system, you can experiment, extend, and customize as you please.
You'll learn how to install FreeBSD, then how to install popular server applications with the ports collection. Each package is treated as an independent module, so you can dip into the book at any point to install just the packages you need, when you 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
Building a Server with FreeBSD 7 will have you up and running fast, with minimum hassle. (Just be sure to send the money you save to the Unemployed Consultant Foundation.)
Though rootkits have a fairly negative image, they can be used for both good and evil. Designing BSD Rootkits
arms you with the knowledge you need to write offensive rootkits, to
defend against malicious ones, and to explore the FreeBSD kernel and
operating system in the process. Organized as a tutorial, Designing BSD Rootkits will teach you the fundamentals of programming and developing rootkits under the FreeBSD operating system. Author Joseph Kong's goal is to make you smarter, not to teach you how to write exploits or launch attacks. You'll learn how to maintain root access long after gaining access to a computer and how to hack FreeBSD.
Kongs liberal use of examples assumes no prior kernel-hacking experience but doesn't water down the information. All code is thoroughly described and analyzed, and each chapter contains at least one real-world application.
Included:
Hack the FreeBSD kernel for yourself!
As in earlier Addison-Wesley books on the UNIX-based BSD
operating system, Kirk McKusick and George Neville-Neil deliver here
the most comprehensive, up-to-date, and authoritative technical
information on the internal structure of open source FreeBSD. Readers
involved in technical and sales support can learn the capabilities and
limitations of the system; applications developers can learn
effectively and efficiently how to interface to the system; system
administrators can learn how to maintain, tune, and configure the
system; and systems programmers can learn how to extend, enhance, and
interface to the system. The authors provide a concise overview of
FreeBSD's design and implementation. Then, while explaining key design

From rather humble beginnings as the Personal Home Page scripting
language, PHP has found its way into almost every server, corporation,
and dev shop in the world. On an average day, somewhere between 500,000
and 2 million coders do something in PHP. Even when you use a
well-understood language like PHP, building a modern web application
requires tools that decrease development time and cost while improving
code quality. Frameworks such as Ruby-on-Rails and Django have been
getting a lot of attention as a result. For PHP coders, the Zend Framework offers that same promise without the need to move away from PHP. This powerful collection of components can be used in part or as a whole to speed up the development process. Zend Framework has the backing of Zend Technologies; the driving force behind the PHP programming language in which it is written. The first production release of the Zend Framework became available in July of 2007.
Zend Framework in Action is a comprehensive tutorial that shows how to use the Zend Framework to create web-based applications and web services. This book takes you on an over-the-shoulder tour of the components of the Zend Framework as you build a high quality, real-world web application. This book is organized around the techniques you'll use every day as a web developer "data handling, forms, authentication, and so forth. As you follow the running example, you'll learn to build interactive Ajax-driven features into your application without sacrificing nuts-and-bolts considerations like security and performance.
This book is aimed at the competent PHP developer who wants to master framework-driven web development. Zend Framework in Action goes beyond the docs but still provides quick access to the most common topics encountered in the development of web applications.
