Book Description

Paperback: 300 pages
Publisher: Manning Publications September 1, 2005
Language: English
ISBN: 1932394494

RSS and Atom in Action is organized into two parts. The first part introduces the blog technologies of news feed formats and publishing protocols-the building blocks. The second part shows how to put to those blocks together to assemble interesting and useful blog applications. In keeping with the behind Manning's "In Action" series, this book shows the reader, through numerous examples in Java and C#, how to parse Atom and RSS format newsfeeds, how to generate valid newsfeeds and serve them efficiently, and how to automate blogging via web services based on the new Atom protocol and the older MetaWeblog API.

Ajax Patterns and Best Practices

See This Pic In Higher Resolution

Book Description

Paperback: 416 pages
Publisher: Apress February 13, 2006
Language: English
ISBN: 1590596161

Ajax is taking us into the next generation of web applications. Ajax has broken the client-server barrier by decoupling the client from the server, but an Ajax application still needs a server to extract content from. The most effective use of Ajax and the server requires an understanding of REST, an architectural style used to define Web services.

Ajax Patterns and Best Practices explores dynamic web applications that combine Ajax and REST as a single solution. A major advantage of REST is that like Ajax, it can be used with today's existing technologies.

This is an ideal book whether or not you have already created an Ajax application. Because the book outlines various patterns and best practices, you can quickly check and verify that you're building an efficient Ajax application.

Inside the book, the patterns will answer the following questions:




    What is Ajax, and REST and why do you even care? And if I should care what are some examples of websites that make effective use of Ajax and REST?
    What are the absolute basics of Ajax and REST and what parts of those basics should I use?
    How should deal with large amounts of data? Should I cache the data? Should I get the data piece fed to me? (Patterns: Cache Controller, and Infinite Data)
    People keep telling me that sessions and cookies are bad? Are they bad? What should I do? And while I think about how about generating content for other devices? (Permutations pattern)
    I want to fix the back-button problem of the HTML browser. (State Navigation pattern)
    What is the best way to create a mashup? (REST Based Model View Controller pattern)
    My page has so many links managed by JavaScript, and I am loosing control, help me make this more organized! (Decoupled Navigation pattern)
    I understand that HTTP means I send data to the server, how about the server sending me some data without asking for it? (Persistent Communications pattern)
    My server side code looks like a mess with tags and code pieces everywhere how can I organize and make my HTML page behave like a SOA client and use REST based web services? (Content chunking pattern)

Pro JSF and Ajax: Building Rich Internet Components

See This Pic In Higher Resolution

Book Description

Paperback: 464 pages
Publisher: Apress February 13, 2006
Language: English
ISBN: 1590595807

Pro JSF and Ajax shows you how to leverage the full potential of JavaServer Faces (JSF) and Ajax. This is not an entry-level tutorial, but a book about building Ajax-enabled JSF components for sophisticated, enterprise-level Rich Internet Applications. Written by JSF experts and verified by established community figures--including Adam Winer (member of the JSF Expert Group, Java Champion), Kito D. Mann (JSFCentral.com and JSF in Action), and Matthias Weßendorf (MyFaces)--this JSF 1.2-compatible book provides reliable and groundbreaking JSF components to help you exploit the power of JSF in your Java web applications.

This book provides a blueprint for building custom JSF UI components and shows how to leverage the best browser technologies, such as AJAX, Mozilla XUL and Microsoft HTC, to deliver Rich Internet Applications.

This book covers standard best practices for behavioral and renderer-specific component classes, renderers, events and event listeners, and JSP tag handlers for each. It also covers advanced techniques such as dynamic content type negotiation, JAR-based resource delivery, and dynamic render kit selection.

Foreword

Does the world really and truly need another JavaServer Faces book

I was fairly well convinced the answer could only be a resounding 'no'! After all, there's a good half dozen books out in stores today, by a whole host of web luminaries, and I've even personally helped as a technical reviewer on half of those. So what more could really be said on the subject

But when I thought about this a bit more, it became clear that all of these books only go so far. They'll show you how to use what JSF gives you out of the box, throw you a bone for writing your own components and renderers, maybe even a bit more. But none that I've seen get to the heart of why JSF is really and truly cool and important technology; they make JSF look like YAMVCF (Yet Another Model-View-Controller Framework) for HTML - more powerful here and there, easier to use in many places, a bit harder to use in others, but really nothing major. And certainly nothing that takes us beyond the dull basics of building ordinary-looking web applications.

This book goes a lot further. It'll cover the basics, of course, and show you how to build components, but then it keeps going: on to AJAX, on to HTC, on to XUL - and how you can wrap this alphabet soup up underneath the heart of JSF, its component model, and how you can leverage it to finally develop web applications that don't need radical re-architecting every time the winds of client technologies blow in a different direction. Along the way, you'll learn a wide array of open source toolkits that make web magic practical even when you're not a Javascript guru.

So, heck, I'm convinced. The world does need another JSF book."

Adam Winer,

Architect ADF Faces, JSF Expert Group Member, and Java Champion. (From the Foreword)

What Is NetBeans IDE?
NetBeans IDE is a free-of-charge integrated development environment (IDE) primarily focused on making it easier to develop Java applications. It provides support for all types of Java applications, from rich desktop clients to multi-tier enterprise applications to applications for Java-enabled handheld devices.

NetBeans IDE has a modular architecture that allows for plug-ins. However, the range of features in the basic installation is so rich that you can probably can start using the IDE for your work without worrying about plug-ins at all.The IDE itself is written in Java, so you can run it on any operating system for which there is a Java 2 Standard Edition JDK (version 1.4.2, version 5.0, or later) available. Click-through installers are available for Microsoft Windows, Solaris, Linux, Mac OS, and other systems. You can also download the IDE as a ZIP or TAR file if you want to install it on an operating system other than the ones listed here.

The IDE's basic job is to make the edit-compile-debug cycle much smoother by integrating the tools for these activities. For example, the IDE:

Identifies coding errors almost immediately and marks them in the Source Editor.
Helps you code faster with code completion, code template, word matching, and fix import features.
Provides visual navigation aids, such as the Navigator window and "code folding," as well as numerous keyboard navigation shortcuts designed especially for Java programmers.
Can display documentation for a class as you are typing in the Source Editor.
Hot-links compilation errors in the Output window, so you can jump straight to the source by double-clicking the line or pressing F12.
Manages package names and references to other classes. When you rename or move classes around, the IDE identifies places in the code that are affected by these changes and enables you to have the IDE generate the appropriate changes to those files.
Has many debugging features that provide a comprehensive view of the way your code is working as it runs. You can set breakpoints (which persist from session to session) and keep your code free of clutter (such as println statements).
Helps you integrate other parts of your workflow, such as checking sources in to and out from a version control system.
You can also download the NetBeans Profiler to augment the traditional edit-compile-debug cycle with performance profiling.

What Makes NetBeans IDE Special
When you use NetBeans IDE, you get the benefits of a top-shelf IDE without the negatives that you might associate with moving your development to a single environment.

Like other integrated development environments, NetBeans IDE provides a graphical user interface for command-line tools that handle the compiling, debugging, and packaging of applications.

Unlike other IDEs, NetBeans IDE does not force a build structure on you with project metadata that you need to reverse engineer if you are to build the project outside of the IDE. NetBeans IDE builds on existing open standards to help you automate your development process without locking you in.

NetBeans IDE (beginning with version 4.0) bases its whole project system on Ant, which is the de facto standard build tool for Java applications. The project metadata that NetBeans IDE produces is in the form of XML and properties files that can be used by Ant outside of the IDE. Thus, developing a project in NetBeans IDE does not lock you or co-developers into NetBeans IDE.

You can use NetBeans IDE to create large projects with sophisticated build parameters. Where you already have such projects in place, you can adapt NetBeans IDE to work with them without necessarily changing the project's structure. If you are generally more comfortable with command-line tools because of their transparency and the level of control they allow you over your projects, NetBeans IDE could become the first IDE that you love.

NetBeans IDE is also consistently ahead of the curve in providing support for new and evolving standards, such as the new language features that were introduced in the Java SE 5 JDK and new specifications in all areas of Java technology.

NetBeans IDE provides an astonishing array of features right out of the box. NetBeans has a fully featured Java EE platform development environment built in. All the editor, debugger, and project support that is available for Java application development is also available for Java EE development. In addition, NetBeans IDE provides access to the Java BluePrints Solutions Catalog and the ability to install them as NetBeans projects.

The Mobility Pack, available as a free add-on installer, enables Java ME developers to design, develop, and debug MIDlets from within NetBeans IDE. Providing one of the most powerful sets of mobile development tools, the Mobility Pack includes a flow designer to visually lay out the application logic, a screen designer to create the user interface, an integrated device fragmentation solution, and tools for building client server applications.

The NetBeans Profiler, also available as a free add-on installer, makes application performance profiling accessible to developers.

What Comes with NetBeans IDE
Besides providing support for coding, NetBeans IDE comes bundled with other tools and libraries that you might already use in your production environment. The IDE integrates these tools into the IDE workflow, but you can also use them at the command line.

Out of the box with NetBeans IDE 5.0, you get:

Apache Ant 1.6.5
Tomcat 5.5.9
JUnit 3.8.1
Java BluePrints Solutions Catalog
If you download the Mobility Modules pack, you also get the Wireless Toolkit.

You can also get NetBeans IDE in a bundle with the Java SE JDK or the Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition.

If you download the NetBeans Profiler, you also get a full-featured, nonintrusive Java profiler that is based on profiling technology developed at Sun Labs.

What This Book Will Do for You
This book was written with both new and existing NetBeans IDE users in mind.

If you are new to NetBeans IDE (or IDEs in general), this book will quickly guide you through the basics and advantages of using NetBeans IDE. Learn how to take advantage of the IDE's layout and feature integration to tighten up the basic edit-compile-debug cycle. Learn how to take advantage of the IDE's support for increasingly popular advanced technologies such as web services and Java EE technology to add new capabilities to your applications.

If you are already familiar with NetBeans IDE, this book will provide a new perspective on what you already know and possibly point you to useful features that you have not yet discovered. Learn how you can customize the IDE to work with complex build structures. If you are looking to move from client-server web applications to multi-tier transactional enterprise applications, this book will help you make that jump.

This book does not teach the Java programming language. Much of the material in this book is meaningful only if you have some experience with programming Java applications. However, this book could be a useful companion if you are expanding your Java technology palette into Java EE technology and other advanced areas.

How to Use This Book
NetBeans IDE is overflowing with features, so quite a bit can be written about it. NetBeans™ IDE Field Guide sorts out the essentials so that you can get productive quickly and then adds a generous selection of tips and advanced information.

This book is primarily designed as a task-reference with short topics on accomplishing specific tasks. If you wish, you can read the book from cover to cover, but most likely you will want to keep it near your computer to get answers to pressing questions or simply to read up on ways to get more out of your work with the IDE. The topics are written in a way that allows you to skip all over the book to get answers to the specific questions you have without having to follow long end-to-end examples.

Chapter 1 provides the information you need to install NetBeans IDE and to set up your first project.

Chapter 2 provides an overview of the IDE environment and the basic tasks for developing general Java projects. If you have never used NetBeans IDE, you will probably want to read this chapter from beginning to end.

Chapter 3 provides in-depth information on setting up and configuring projects. Although this chapter is mostly geared toward general Java applications, a working knowledge of the information in this chapter will be useful for developing Java EE and Java ME applications as well.

Chapter 4 covers the IDE's unique and powerful client for the CVS version control system.

Chapter 5 provides useful tips and tricks for making your day-to-day coding more productive, such as using editor hints, code completion, code templates, and refactoring features.

Chapter 6 shows you how to use the IDE's powerful Project Matisse GUI

Agile Java Development with Spring, Hibernate and Eclipse

Book Description

Paperback: 360 pages
Publisher: Sams; 1st edition May 9, 2006
Language: English
ISBN: 0672328968

Agile Java™ Development With Spring, Hibernate and Eclipse is a book about robust technologies and effective methods which help bring simplicity back into the world of enterprise Java development. The three key technologies covered in this book, the Spring Framework, Hibernate and Eclipse, help reduce the complexity of enterprise Java development significantly. Furthermore, these technologies enable plain old Java objects (POJOs) to be deployed in light-weight containers versus heavy-handed remote objects that require heavy EJB containers. This book also extensively covers technologies such as Ant, JUnit, JSP tag libraries and touches upon other areas such as such logging, GUI based debugging, monitoring using JMX, job scheduling, emailing, and more. Also, Extreme Programming (XP), Agile Model Driven Development (AMDD) and refactoring are methods that can expedite the software development projects by reducing the amount of up front requirements and design; hence these methods are embedded throughout the book but with just enough details and examples to not sidetrack the focus of this book. In addition, this book contains well separated, subjective material (opinion sidebars), comic illustrations, tips and tricks, all of which provide real-world and practical perspectives on relevant topics. Last but not least, this book demonstrates the complete lifecycle by building and following a sample application, chapter-by-chapter, starting from conceptualization to production using the technology and processes covered in this book. In summary, by using the technologies and methods covered in this book, the reader will be able to effectively develop enterprise-class Java applications, in an agile manner!

MS Computer Dictionary, 5th Edition

The MS Computer Dictionary, Fifth Edition is designed to be a comprehensive and authoritative source of definitions for computer-related terms and abbreviations. The dictionary includes terms drawn from a wide variety of topics relevant to computer users, including software, hardware, networking, data storage, graphics, games, information processing, the Internet and the World Wide Web, gaming, history, jargon and slang, organizations, programming, and standards.

Although this book covers nearly every aspect of computing, it does not include entries on most companies or on most makes and models of computers, nor does it contain entries on most application software products. The few exceptions to this rule of thumb are key companies and products that have a historical or universal importance within the computing industry.

This dictionary emphasizes terminology that the average computer user will encounter in documentation, online help, computer manuals, marketing and sales materials, the popular media, and the computer trade press. Because most computer users operate personal computers and desktop systems at home, work, or both, the majority of the entries in this dictionary cover the terminology used in describing and working with these systems. However, some specialized or highly technical language is included that pertains to areas of industry, academia, software and hardware development, and research. These terms have been included because they have a bearing on more common computer terminology or because they are of historical significance.

The Photoshop CS2 Book for Digital Photographers

Book Cover

See This Pic In Higher Resolution

Book Description

Paperback: 480 pages
Publisher: New Riders Press April 18, 2005
Language: English
ISBN: 0321330625

Scott Kelby, the best-selling Photoshop author in the world today, once again takes this book to a whole new level as he uncovers the latest, most important and most exciting new Adobe Photoshop CS2 techniques for digital photographers.

 

This major update to this award-winning, record-breaking book does something for digital photographers that's never been done before--it  cuts through the bull and shows you exactly "how to do it." It's not a bunch of theory; it doesn't challenge you to come up with your own  settings or figure it out on your own. Instead, Scott shows you step-by-step the exact techniques used by today's cutting-edge digital  photographers and, best of all, he shows you, flat-out, exactly which settings to use, when to use them, and why. That's why the previous  version of this book took the digital photography world by storm.

 

But now, his new CS2, version is even bigger, even better, and exposes even more of the pros most closely guarded secrets, including a special chapter which shows, for the first time ever, step-by-step how to how to set-up Photoshop's color management. He does it by throwing out all the theory, all the techno-babble, and all the confusing charts and graphs and instead just shows you exactly what you need to do (and 

nothing more).

 

LEARN HOW THE PROS DO IT

Each year Scott trains thousands of professional photographers how to use Photoshop, and almost without exception they have the same questions, the same problems, and the same challenges--and that's exactly what he covers in this book. You'll learn:

 

 

If you're a digital photographer and you're ready to learn the "tricks of the trade"--the same ones that today's leading pros use to correct,  edit, sharpen, retouch, and present their work; then this is the book for you.

"The Professional Photographer magazine Hot1 Awards represent a must-have list of this year's hottest, most sought-after new products. Selected by a panel of working professional photographers, the awards are chosen based on innovation, overall quality and value for price. In its seventh year, the Professional Photographer Hot1 Awards are one of the biggest product competitions in the industry, representing 60 categories of gear from a couple hundred different companies."
--Jeff Kent, Special Hot1 Awards Editor / Editor at Large Professional Photographer magazine

Building Websites With Joomla!: A step by step tutorial to getting your Joomla! CMS website up fast

Book Cover

See This Pic In Higher Resolution

Book Description

Paperback: 323 pages
Publisher: Packt Publishing January 30, 2006
Language: English
ISBN: 1904811949

 
This book is a fast paced tutorial to creating a website using Joomla!. If you’ve never used Joomla!, or even any web content management system before, then this book will walk you through each step in a friendly and accessible way. From installation, to initial set up and content entry and then on to customization for your own look and feel, this book will get you to a stable and working Joomla! based web site fast. You don’t have to be an experienced web developer or designer to get a great looking site with a full set of functions using this book and Joomla! This book will guide through every step.

Joomla! is a fully featured web content management system and was created in Summer 2005 as a fork from the hugely popular Mambo CMS with many of the original Mambo developers moving their efforts to Joomla! While still in its first release, it is supported by an active and well organized open source development team and community. Joomla! is both easy to use at the entry level for creating basic websites, whilst having the power and flexibility to support complex web applications. Joomla! implements the core requirements of a full-featured CMS. It has a powerful and extensible templating system with the ability to upload and manage many different data types. User access control, content approval, rich administrative control, and content display scheduling are all built-in. New features and extensions are constantly added to the core system, with many more being available and supported by the community.

The book begins by introducing Joomla! and concepts behind content management. Then the installation of Joomla!, and its supporting software [Apache/MySQL/PHP] is covered clearly and simply. Once you have the installation up and running, we then take a tour of Joomla! as it appears out of the box, to familiarize ourselves with how it works and what is what. As you take the tour, your own ideas for what you need in your new website begin to crystallize around what you can see Joomla! is capable of. We then build our web application, using only the features of Joomla! we really need. Once we have a base version of our site up, we then learn how to change its appearance and feature set to suit our particular requirements, including bringing it into line with an established corporate identity. At the end of the book we show how you can add your own extensions to Joomla!.

This book focuses on taking you through the essential tasks to create a Joomla! site as fast as possible. These essential tasks are explained clearly, with well structured step-by-step instructions. The book does not aim to cover every feature of Joomla! nor is it a comprehensive guide to extending Joomla!. Almost everything in the book is accomplished without recourse to the underlying PHP code in which Joomla! is written. The book is very readable and the author has a particularly chatty and engaging writing style.

Macromedia's architecture is like a chest filled with precious jewels, and this book is quite simply the key to open it! One of the most important tools provided with Flash is the Macromedia Component Architecture: a framework of components written in ActionScript 2, based on established design patterns, that provides a wealth of functionality you can just bolt on to your Flash applications when desired. This can save you an enormous amount of time during application development and help you improve the quality of your code. What's more, the source code is included, so if you can't find the component you need within the component architecture, you can just modify existing components to create your own!

Expert Flash developer and author Antonio De Donatis gives you everything you need to master Flash components. In the first part, he shows you how the architecture works, how to create effective component-based applications, and how to create your own custom components from what's already provided. The second part shows how XML can be used to effectively describe and dynamically create not only single component instances, but whole applications based on any number of components.

The last part of the book is a comprehensive reference to using all of the components already available in the Macromedia Component Architecture. It includes a specific chapter dedicated to each of the UI components like basic usage, component management, customization, and practical examples showing usage of each component.
