This book is suitable for use in a university-level first course in computing (CS1), as well as the increasingly popular course known as CS0. It is difficult for many students to master basic concepts in computer science and programming. A large portion of the confusion can be blamed on the complexity of the tools and materials that are traditionally used to teach CS1 and CS2. This textbook was written with a single overarching goal: to present the core concepts of computer science as simply as possible without being simplistic.

High Performance MySQL (Second Edition) Ссылки

The authors’ backgrounds are clearly reflected in their complete reworking in this
second edition of High Performance MySQL: Optimizations, Replication, Backups,
and More. It’s not just a book that tells you how to optimize your work to use
MySQL better than ever before. The authors have done considerable extra work, carrying
out and publishing benchmark results to prove their points. This will give you,
the reader, a lot of valuable insight into MySQL’s inner workings that you can’t easily
find in any other book. In turn, that will allow you to avoid a lot of mistakes in
the future that can lead to suboptimal performance.
I recommend this book both to new users of MySQL who have played with the
server a little and now are ready to write their first real applications, and to experienced
users who already have well-tuned MySQL-based applications but need to get
“a little more” out of them.

Building Embedded Linux Systems (Second Edition) Ссылки

БончБруевич БончБруевич, Комментарии (нет)

This book is intended first and foremost for the experienced embedded system designer
who wishes to use Linux in a current or future project. Such a reader is expected to be
familiar with all the techniques and technologies used in developing embedded systems,
such as cross-compiling, BDM or JTAG debugging, and the implications of dealing
with immature or incomplete hardware. If you are such a reader, you may want to skip
some of the background material about embedded system development presented early
in some sections. There are, however, many early sections (particularly in Chapter 2)
that you will need to read, because they cover the special implications of using the
Linux kernel in an embedded system.
This book is also intended for the beginning embedded system developer who would
like to become familiar with the tools and techniques used in developing embedded
systems based on Linux. This book is not an introduction to embedded systems, however,
and you may need to research some of the issues discussed here in an introductory
textbook.
If you are a power user or a system administrator already familiar with Linux, this book
should help you produce highly customized Linux installations. If you find that distributions
install too many packages for your liking, for example, and would like to build
your own custom distribution from scratch, many parts of this book should come in
handy, particularly Chapter 6.
Finally, this book should be helpful to a programmer or a Linux enthusiast who wants
to understand how Linux systems are built and operated. Though the material in this
book does not cover how general-purpose distributions are created, many of the techniques
covered here apply, to a certain extent, as much to general purpose distributions
as they do to creating customized embedded Linux installations.

Programming Web Services with XML-RPC

Programming Web Services with XML-RPC Ссылки

БончБруевич БончБруевич, Комментарии (нет)

XML-RPC, a simple yet powerful system built on XML and HTTP, lets developers connect programs running on different computers with a minimum of fuss. Java programs can talk to Perl scripts, which can talk to ASP applications, and so on. With XML-RPC, developers can provide access to functionality without having to worry about the system on the other end, so it's easy to create web services.

XML-RPC takes web technology in a new direction, giving you a new way to create simple, but powerful, connections between different kinds of programs. After wasting more hours than I care to admit developing and documenting network formats used to exchange relatively simple kinds of information between programs, I was very happy to discover XML-RPC. It would have made all that work much easier.

Whether you integrate systems within a single network or provide services and information to the public as a whole, XML-RPC provides critical layers of abstraction that make it simple to connect different kinds of computing systems without needing to create new standards for every application. Because XML-RPC is built on commonly available HTTP and XML technologies, the costs of implementing it are low. Because XML-RPC focuses sharply on solving a particular kind of problem -- making procedure calls across a network -- it is very easy to learn and implement across a wide variety of systems.

Smarty PHP Template Programming And Applications Ссылки

БончБруевич БончБруевич, Комментарии (нет)

A step-by-step guide to building PHP web sites and applications using the Smarty templating engine
- Bring the benefits of Smarty to your PHP programming
-Give your designers the power to modify content and layout without PHP programming
-Produce code that is easier to debug, maintain, and modify
-Useful for both Smarty developers and users

Smarty is a templating engine for PHP. Designers who are used to working with HTML files can work with Smarty templates, which are HTML files with simple tags while programmers work with the underlying PHP code. The Smarty engine brings the code and templates together. The result of all this is that designers can concentrate on designing, programmers can concentrate on programming, and they don't need to get in each others way so much. Even if you are developing a site on your own, Smarty is a powerful way to make your code clearer to you and others, as well as easier to debug and modify later.

This book is a comprehensive guide to all aspects of using Smarty. It will help you to:
-Install and configure Smarty on your Web server
- Understand how Smarty affects your web site architecture, and build site foundations that make the most of what Smarty offers
- Designers will learn to work with templates that contain variables and logic, to modify layouts or content of Smarty web sites
- See how Smarty caching can improve the performance of your sites
- Develop custom Smarty functions and plug-ins to incorporate into your templates

Using a step-by-step approach based on realistic examples, the expert authors show you how to use Smarty in your own PHP development. The book is ideal for PHP developers who are new to Smarty, and for web designers who are working with PHP developers who are using Smarty.
