Ebook Computer Programming in Java: Java Network Programming 2ed.pdf

This book begins with three chapters that outline how networks and network programs work. Chapter 1, is a gentle introduction to network programming in Java and the applications that it makes possible. All readers should find something of interest in this chapter. It explores some of the unique programs that become feasible when networking is combined with Java. Chapter 2, and Chapter 3, explain in detail what a programmer needs to know about how the Internet and the Web work. Chapter 2 describes the protocols that underlie the Internet, such as TCP/IP and UDP/IP. Chapter 3 describes the standards that underlie the Web such, as HTTP, HTML, and CGI. If you've done a lot of network programming in other languages on other platforms, you may be able to skip these two chapters.

The next two chapters throw some light on two parts of Java that are critical to almost all network programs but are often misunderstood and misused: I/O and threading. Chapter 4 explores Java's unique way of handling input and output. Understanding how Java handles I/O in the general case is a prerequisite for understanding the special case of how Java handles network I/O. Chapter 5 explores multithreading and synchronization, with a special emphasis on how they can be used for asynchronous I/O and network servers. Experienced Java programmers may be able to skim or skip these two chapters. However, Chapter 6, is essential reading for everyone. It shows how Java programs interact with the Domain Name System through the InetAddress class, the one class that's needed by essentially all network programs. Once you've finished this chapter, it's possible to jump around in the book as your interests and needs dictate. There are, however, some interdependencies between specific chapters.

Ebook Computer Programming : ASP.Net Bible.pdf

Introduction of the Microsoft .NET platform has begun a new era in the field of application development that will drive the next-generation Internet. ASP.NET, a part of the Microsoft .NET platform, is a revolutionary programming framework that enables the rapid development of enterprise-class Web applications. It provides the easiest and most scalable way to develop, deploy, and run Web applications that can target any browser or device. In fact, these features are only a few of several that make ASP.NET developers' first choice for creating Web applications.

ASP.NET makes application development much easier than it was with classic ASP, and hence it has dramatically improved developers' productivity. ASP.NET enables you to provide richer functionality to your Web applications by writing the least amount of code. The best part is that ASP.NET enables you to select any of the available .NET programming languages. So, unlike classic ASP, in which you had to depend on interpreted VBScript and JScript languages, ASP.NET provides a wide choice of programming languages.

In addition to the usual Web applications, ASP.NET allows you to create other types, which enables you to extend your applications' reach to new customers and business partners. For example, XML Web services enable sharing of data across the Internet regardless of the operating system and the programming language — this certainly widens the reach of your applications. Also, ASP.NET provides you with mobile controls that enable your applications to target a large number of mobile Web devices. Deploying server applications has always been a pain for developers. With ASP.NET, however, developers do not need to worry on this front at all, because ASP.NET has dramatically simplified the deployment process. Deploying a Web application simply requires you to copy it to the Web server.

Macromedia Flash MX Advanced, ebook on Flash Programming

This book is for the designers, animators, and developers who want to take their Flash skills to the next level. You’ve mastered the basics of tweening and are ready to move on to more complex tasks involving video, masking, dynamic sound control, or movie- clip collision detection. You may not be a hard-core programmer, but you’re ready to learn how ActionScript can control graphics, sounds, and text. You’re ready to integrate interactivity with your animations to create arcade-style games, to create complex user-interface elements like pull-down menus, and to learn how Flash communicates with outside applications such as Web browsers. If this description fits you, then this book is right for you.

This book explores the advanced features of Flash MX, so you should already be comfortable with the basic tools and commands for creating simple Flash movies. You should know how to create and modify shapes and text with the drawing tools and be able to create symbols. You should also know how to apply motion and shape tweens, and how to work with frame-by-frame animation. You should know your way around the Flash interface: how to move from the Stage to symbol-editing mode to the Timeline, and how to manipulate layers and frames. You should also be familiar with importing and using bitmaps and sounds, and assigning basic actions to frames and buttons for navigation. Review the tutorials that come with the software, or pick up a copy of Macromedia Flash MX: Visual QuickStart Guide by Katherine Ulrich.

Ebook on Computer Programming : Linux Web Solution php mySql Apache.pdf

Abstract
Of all the web servers on the market today, Apache is most popular because it supplies basic web server functionality right out of the box. Yet, many customers want a more sophisticated website, one with SQL database functionality, search capabilities, and server-side scripting. The complexity and interdependencies of these packages make it difficult for independent software vendors, solution developers, and website administrators to put together a solution. Customizing the Apache server with additional functionality can be complex on the Linux platform. The solutions for extending functionality are just not obvious. This technical guide demonstrates how to integrate PHP, MySQL, and ht://Dig with the Apache server. Independent software vendors, solution developers, programmers, and website administrators can use this guide to plan and deploy advanced Apache web servers on the Linux platform.

This document describes how to install, configure, and deploy a sophisticated Apache website on the Linux operating system. Such a website includes the powerful, server-side scripting language, PHP3, access to the full-featured SQL database, MySQL and the ht://Dig search engine. All of the software packages described in this document are open source applications. What makes open source software so attractive? First of all, it is free. Secondly, you get copies of the software source code, which frees you to control the software to meet your short-term and long-term requirements. The key points of open source software restrictions are that no one:

  • Distributes the product without the source code (or, a list of differences between the modified version and the original) and a copy of all related documentation
  • Charges for the software itself (only for its distribution)
  • Can impose restriction on its distribution

For more information on licensing, refer to the regulations defined by the Open Source Initiative organization at: http://www.opensource.org/osd.html.

Photography tutorial and ebook free

Digital cameras are only a few years old and are just now beginning to make serious inroads into photography. They have yet to be fully accepted by some photographers. However, despite some current limitations, digital cameras are the wave of the future and it's only a matter of time before most photographs are taken with these kinds of cameras rather than traditional film-based cameras.
Photographers who don't accept digital cameras generally base their arguments on the fact that the images are not as good as film-based cameras. Yet these same photographers most likely use 35 mm SLR cameras that are not as good as 8 x 10 view cameras. And if they do use 8 x 10 cameras, they don't use the even better mammoth glass plate view cameras used by Jackson and Muybridge after the Civil War. If they really wanted quality, they'd be using mules to carry their equipment. So much for their argument being based on the quality of the image.
