From the Inside Flap
Introduction

In early 1998, I was looking at re-installing Windows 95 for the third time. Granted, I stress computers more than the average user, but this was getting old. I had been playing around with Linux since early 1995 and it looked like a good time to use it as my primary desktop.

I already knew how to install and configure Linux, but I had never used it as a desktop. I found plenty of books on Linux configuration, a few on using it as a server, but nothing on using it as a desktop. Instead I had to scour the Internet for useful information. What I have tried to do for this book is compile what I have learned over the past two years. Hopefully, this will save you the time and frustration of finding it yourselves.

So, how does Linux compare to Windows? As with anything else, each one has its own strengths and weaknesses.

Windows is king of the desktop for good reason. It has a polished interface and more end-user applications than any other operating system. It is also pre-installed on most new PCs, making it an easy, safe choice for most PCs. These factors combine to give Windows about 90% of the desktop market.

Linux is based on UNIX and inherits its security and stability from it. Linux is the most popular choice for public Web servers and it also holds about 25% of the small server market. It is also free (or nearly so) and comes packed with lots of useful tools for programming and server management.

These distinctions aren’t permanent, however. Several groups are working on polishing Linux’s interface. There is also a rush to develop more end-user applications for Linux. Large PC makers such as Dell, Compaq, and IBM are starting to offer Linux pre-installed on PCs.

While the market for Linux is comparatively small, Linux grew from less than 1% of the desktop market in 1998 to about 4% in 1999. This is amazing considering the Apple Macintosh, which has been around for 15 years, is holding at 5% of the desktop market.

Windows is also working to gain a foothold in the traditional strengths of the UNIX (and Linux) market: security, stability, and scalability. Microsoft put billions of dollars into the recently released Windows 2000 to address these issues. While the jury is still out on whether it succeeded, early reports say that Windows 2000 is much improved over earlier versions of Windows in these areas.

There are also many other reasons for choosing an operating system. They can often draw fanatical devotion (just ask a dedicated MacIntosh user). Despite (or maybe because of) its success, Microsoft has some very dedicated enemies. Just search the Internet for “Satan” or “Antichrist” and you will be surprised how many anti-Microsoft sites you hit. The Microsoft Antitrust case was also pushed forward by some dedicated foes. Some users try Linux as an alternative to Windows. It may not be the best way to choose an operating system, but never discount the power of fanatical devotion.

Such devotion is not necessary. Linux and Windows can peacefully coexist on the same computer. It is even possible to run Linux and Windows at the same time! The whole first section of this book is devoted to making coexistence as easy as possible.

The middle section is dedicated to finding useful applications for your Linux systems. Sometimes the same application is available for both Linux and Windows; in other cases, equivalent applications are available; and in a few cases, the applications are only available for Windows. The good news is that most people can do everything they need to do with either Linux or Windows.

The last section deals with networking. This is a rather advanced topic, but networking is moving from the Fortune 500 into homes and small businesses at a rapid rate. Networking is getting inexpensive enough to offer the same advantages that large businesses have long enjoyed: sharing files, printers, and Internet connections. The increasing use of high-speed Internet connections in the home will continue to drive up demand for home networking.

Fortunately, both Linux and Windows have programs that allow easy connection to each other. Samba allows Linux to act as a Windows file server. Additionally, the NFS and LPD programs allow Windows to use Linux’s native protocols.

So which is better, Linux or Windows? That is like asking whether a car or truck is better. They are built for different purposes. Windows plays the traditional role of the car; it is more polished and aimed at the mass market. Linux plays the traditional role of a truck; it is durable and intended to be used as a work vehicle. But like cars and trucks, the roles are starting to overlap. Linux is becoming more polished and easier to use and Windows is concentrating more on security and stability. Windows is still the choice for most users’ desktops, but it is no longer the only choice. As you will see in this book, Linux is a solid choice for a server and a viable alternative in the desktop market.

Linux Desk Reference (2nd Edition) (Open Source Technology Series)

Back Cover Copy

* Completely updated with hundreds of new examples!
* The only Linux reference with examples for every command
* All-new chapters on the Apache Web server, tc shell, and Emacs editor
* Organized by task, so you can find it fast!

Amazon.com
Desk references–if they are worth their desk space–have to be immediately appealing for some quirky reason or other. The appeal of Scott Hawkins’s ingenious new reference, Linux Desk Reference, is that it sorts basic Unix commands by task.

Flipping through Hawkins’s book is like browsing a thesaurus. How many ways can you compare files? diff comes right to mind, but did you know about comm, cmp, diff3, or sdiff for merging diff’ed files? The know-how-return-on-time-investment for browsing the Linux Desk Reference is one of the highest in the Linux library … for up to five-minute periods.

Not without humor, Hawkins begins his array with a list of man-like utilities. So what are they? Try to guess: apropos, whatis, whereis, info (of emacs fame), and locate, and their associated functions. The lines blur between true POSIX-compliant Unix functions, shell capabilities, and individual applications. You wouldn’t have info if you didn’t have emacs, which you probably wouldn’t have if you didn’t have Linux, or you didn’t install it yourself. For users of non-open-source versions of Unix (Solaris, Irix, HPUX, etc.), the name-the-synonym game is still playable, but the fun ends sooner.

Ultimately, the meat of Linux Desk Reference is a grammar-less compendium of command-line flags, annotated with notes, warnings, and an occasional example. Root-only executables or actions are flagged as such in the margins. Entries are typically briefer than the man pages output, and the clustering of common commands reflects the “See Also” cross-reference section of a man page. This strategy of organization highlights the relationships between commonly used utilities.

The bash shell has its own chapter (but not tcsh), and Unix daemons have their day. TCP/IP is here, so is general DOS connectivity, mail utilities, NFS’s many fragile pieces, and X11 tools. Hawkins’s intentions were encyclopedic, and he has succeeded handsomely. The table of contents is like a school yearbook, filled with familiar and forgotten functions.

The book’s aesthetic design is mysterious–function names in the primary headers appear in a small font, causing them to be lost against the backdrop of the visually stimulating reference text. The book also contains too many horizontal lines that break the eye’s line at nonintuitive junctures. Otherwise, the Linux Desk Reference earns its patch of pine, right between Strunk & White and Roget’s. –Peter Leopold –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From the Inside Flap
Introduction

I hope you get a lot of use out of this book. Since I first got started in Unix in 1986, I’ve spent a ton of cash buying reference books. I’ve always been a bibliophile, and computer books have the advantage of being tax deductible, so I’ve amassed quite a collection. It always annoys me when I get home and the glitzy, well-packaged 400 page document-o-rama I just shelled out $50 for turns out to contain only 5 pages of actual information or, worse, to be full of information but so poorly organized that it’s more trouble than it’s worth to find what I need. I’ve got a shelf full of them, which I will sell cheap.

What I’ve tried to do here is incorporate the best features from my collection. I know what I likeÑa good index, thorough technical coverage, relevant examples, and concise explanations (in English). Also, in the process of writing this book I’ve become almost supernaturally attuned to the subject of computer reference booksÑyou can whisper ÒLinux in a NutshellÓ from thirty feet away across a crowded room and my ears will perk up like a retriever on point. The number one complaint I hear about reference books is Ònot enough examples.Ó I’m not unsympathetic; thinking up, configuring, and testing all the examples for this book slowed the writing process down to a crawl. But, as my editor pointed out, I’m not doing this for my health. So you will find that for every command in this book there is an accompanying example.

To some extent, Linux commands tend to come in clusters. For example, there are a dozen or so that handle filesystems, another half dozen for fiddling with disks, a whole slew that do things with files. Sometimes the command clusters follow a naming convention, as in the case of the ÒremoteÓ commands (rlogin, rsh, …); other times they do not. It occurred to me it wouldn’t be entirely wrong to group the Linux commands into clusters (one for users, another for disks, etc.) and then treat the clusters as data structures. Technically, a data structure consists of two things:

a specification for how data will be stored

a specification of methods by which the data will be accessed

That’s not a perfect description of how the chapters are arranged, but it isn’t bad either. At the beginning of each chapter there is a high-level discussion of what purpose each Òdata structureÓ serves, how that service is accomplished, and the jargon that has sprung up around it. That provides background for the detailed description of commands which follows. Hopefully, this will provide enough information for newcomers to get started and perhaps be of some value for experienced users as well.

Of course, as you can tell from a quick glance through the contents, the main thrust of this book is information on actual user commands. I have collected what I believe to be a fairly thorough subset of the most useful Linux commands, together with their options and some suggestions for use. Information on configuration and use of the various subsystems (e.g. NIS, Samba, Networking) is also included, either explicitly or as part of the examples. How to Use This BookWhen You Know Exactly What You Need

For the advanced users who know exactly what command they are after and are looking only for examples or command line options, the book has two command indexes:

all commands are indexed in the back of the book, as are term definitions, procedures, and the rest of the content.

there is a second index in the front for executable programs only.When You Know What You Need But Not What It’s Called

Did you ever find yourself digging around looking for a command that you know must exist, only you don’t have any idea what it might be called? Back when I was in school I clearly remember fumbling around for an hour trying to figure out what command I’d use to lower the priority of a running process. There was nothing in the man pages under ÒpriorityÓ or ÒprocessÓ, but I knew it had to be out there somewhere.

This book is arranged by concept. If you want to find out how to do something with filesystems, flip to the chapter on filesystems. In each chapter, there’s a brief discussion of relevant terms and concepts, followed by a one-line summary of all the relevant commands, a list of related files, and finally a complete listing of the commands with options and examples.When You’re Just Getting Started

This book explains all of the basic concepts you need to understand in order to use your Linux system. If you’re not familiar with particular terms, they are defined in the text and indexed in the back. There’s also a glossary. For every command, there is at least one example. For the more popular or confusing commands, there are frequently two or more. Where I thought it would be helpful, I included diagrams and sample output. Conventions of This BookIntroductions

There’s a certain amount of overhead involved in learning the Linux system. Some of the concepts can be counterintuitive at first glance, particularly if you’re still in the process of switching over from one of the lesser operating systems. Each chapter in this book starts off with a few of pages of notes about the concepts, terms, and theory underlying the commands. Hopefully, this will help you get a feel for how the commands make up subsystems and how the subsystems make up Linux. Related Files

Most Unix commands take configuration or startup information from one or more files. The entries in this section are a listing of the files associated with the commands in each chapter.A Final Word

Any single book that purports to cover the entire Linux operating system is probably lying. There’s so much going on that what you can fit between two covers is, of necessity, a reflection of the experiences and prejudices of its author. To the extent that I neglected I really do apologize. If it’s any consolation, it wasn’t from lack of effort. If you have comments, corrections, or suggestions for improvement, feel free to contact me.

As a post script, some of you may be wondering about the significance of the Minotaur on the cover of this book. Tradition has it that Daedalus, a mythological inventor and the spiritual ancestor of hackers everywhere, built a large and complex maze in Crete (the Labyrinth, capital L) at the behest of king Minos. The Minotaur was a bastard child of the Queen Pasiphae (Minos’ wife) and some unusually attractive livestock. He had a man’s body and the head of a bull which (understandably) made him a bit shy and grumpy. Territorial and ferocious, he lived in the center of the Labyrinth, which he ran with an iron fist. He guarded its secrets jealously, and was famous throughout the kingdom for biting the heads off ignorant newbies. When I was asked to suggest a creature for the cover of this guide to deciphering the intricacies of the Linux OS, there was really only one choice. –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Preface

Both the Linux and the mainframe communities are understandably interested in the unique concepts and benefits of Linux on the mainframe. In this book, we define mainframe as being IBM’s enterprise servers, that is, S/390 and zSeries servers.
This guide is for anyone seeking technical or market insight regarding Linux on the mainframe. It is for the business person who looks for opportunities to consolidate servers, reduce the complexity of an infrastructure, or reduce IT costs. It is also written for the IT architect who wants to plan for, design, and implement the solutions. It is for all those who are interested in this solution.
This book gives an overall perspective of the concepts that make this solution unique. It is a practical guide which helps you to reach an informed decision as to whether Linux on the mainframe is for your business. It shows examples of business solutions for Linux on the mainframe, and examples of how systems can be designed and built.
While this book is not a tutorial or how-to book, it references a wealth of material that provides details about specific technical topics.
Part 1, “Linux on the Mainframe - an Introduction,” describes technologies that possess inherent, strong values on their own merits so that they should be considered as options for your IT projects. This part includes an introduction to Linux, an introduction to the mainframe, and an introduction to Linux on the mainframe.
Part 2, “Planning for Linux,” discusses the early decision points that allow a Linux on the mainframe solution to effect the bottom-line project value. Apart from these decision points, this part illustrates, with the help of two sample companies, the spectrum of possibilities open to you. It also presents a total cost-of-ownership discussion on how Linux on the mainframe can facilitate substantial savings in the enterprise.
Part 3, “Is Linux on the Mainframe for Me?” is about the technical foundations that bring unique value to running applications in a Linux-on-the-mainframe environment. Virtualization, communications, and security are among the topics discussed. For example, this part describes how it is possible to have hundreds of Linux servers on one mainframe machine.
Part 4, “Making the Most of Linux on the Mainframe,” is about the challenge that Linux on the mainframe means to systems management. How can you preserve the benefits of tight systems management schemes that help to make mainframe environments so reliable and, at the same time, allow Linux to act as an engine for the rapid change that the marketplace demands today? This part explores the opportunities that Linux on the mainframe offers for managing availability, data, performance, and security.
Part 5, “Running Applications,” outlines the spectrum of uses for Linux images, ranging from independent servers to components in an integrated multi-platform environment with traditional mainframe operating systems. There is also a section with considerations for those who want to port applications from other platforms.
Part 6, “Reference,” provides technical details about specific Linux and mainframe functions and capabilities. It also points to some of the key software that is available to your Linux-on-the-mainframe solution, including applications, middleware, and systems management and performance tools.
We have attempted to make the various topics as independent as possible, but, as with any system-level solution, all parts are interrelated. There is a fair amount of cross-referencing to allow you to find sections where a related topic is covered in more detail.

The book is the result of collaboration among three current IBM employees and one retired IBM employee. Our sources are companies that use Linux on the mainframe, customer visits, and other IBM colleagues. The book, its purpose, and structure are an outgrowth of what we have learned.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
Introduction
The Oracle database and the Structured Query Language (SQL) that it supports are complex and ever changing products that have grown increasingly complex and powerful over the years. This book is not an attempt to teach the new Database Administrator (DBA) everything she or he needs to know about how to administer an Oracle database. That would be an interesting book challenge, but not the one we wanted to tackle. Instead, we wrote the book we’ve both been wishing we had, but couldn’t find anywhere. A simple reference to the Oracle version of SQL and some of the critical tables and views that the practicing Oracle DBA needs every day. This is a purely syntax reference, a quick way to get a reminder of what options a command takes and the exact syntax required.
Most Oracle DBAs spend probably 90% of their time doing less than 5% of the tasks possible with an Oracle database. They neither need nor want a book to give them the syntax for those commands they use every day. But for the commands they may only use once every six months or so, a little quick reminder can be helpful. And that’s the purpose and intent of this book—to give the working DBA a little book that they can keep on their desktop or next to the server where they can quickly look up the syntax for the command they need, or find the right name for the view they know exists, but haven’t had to use since the last time there was a problem.
As Oracle has grown from our first days with Oracle 6 to the complexity and power of Oracle 9i, the number of new commands, and options and modifiers to the old ones, has grown enormously. If you’re like us, you know there are new options and ways to do things, but often need a quick reminder of the syntax or options available. We hope you’ll find this book a useful tool for that.
How To Use This Book
This book is divided up into three basic sections:

* Chapter 1—covers the operators and functions recognized by Oracle SQL, as well as the format models, privileges and reserved words, organized into easy to read tables and grouped by the type of function, operator, privilege, or format model involved.
* Chapter 2—is a complete SQL command reference, showing the syntax and options for every Oracle SQL command supported by Oracle 9.2 from ALTER CLUSTER to UPDATE, in alphabetical order. We have used standard “railroad” syntax diagrams to make it easy to follow the options and syntax required.
* Chapter 3—is a listing of the data dictionary views that are a part of every DBA’s life, and the dynamic performance tables that provide a wealth of information about what is happening inside the database. In the interest of keeping to our design goal of making this a short, easy-to-use and quick reference, we stuck to a simple listing of the tables and views here. The names make it pretty clear what each covers, and as working DBAs we’ve found that’s really all we need. Once we know the name, a simple DESCRIBE will get the rest.

A note on the syntax diagrams in Chapter 2. Certain clauses show up across a wide range of commands with no change in the syntax or options they support. In order to keep the diagrams as simple as possible, we have grouped those clauses at the end of the chapter under “Common.” The clauses covered there are:

* Allocate Extent
* Constraints
* Deallocate Unused
* File Specification
* Logging
* Parallel
* Physical Attributes
* Storage

Within each command, we have broken out the syntax for the less common clauses immediately following the main command. This enables a simpler and more readable diagram while providing full information. We have underlined the names of subordinate clauses in the diagrams to make it clear that you need to break out of the main diagram for the syntax to that clause.
Talk To Us
We have made every attempt in this short volume to provide as complete a reference as we could, always with the goal of keeping it quick and easy to find the information you need. Our goal was to give the working Oracle DBA a tool that would make them more productive and we sincerely hope you find it useful. Every effort has been made to be both complete and accurate. If you do find an error or omission or have any comment on the book, we very much want to hear from you. Please write us at: SQLReference@Scribes.com. We don’t promise to answer every question or comment, but we do read them and very much appreciate them.

I’ve written this book with the hope that it will serve as mylifetime technical contribution to my database administrator (DBA)brethren. It contains the sum knowledge and wisdom I’ve gathered thispast decade, both working on and speaking about data warehousing. Itdoes so purely from the DBA’s perspective, solely for the DBA’s needsand benefit.

While I’ve worked on many data warehousing projects, my three yearsat Electronic Data Systems (EDS) as the lead DBA for 7-ElevenCorporation’s enterprise data warehouse provided my greatest learningexperience. 7-Eleven is a world leader in convenience retailing, withover 21,000 stores worldwide. The 7-Eleven enterprise data warehouse:

* Is multi-terabyte in size, with tables having hundreds of millionsor billions of rows.
* Is a true star schema design based on accurate business criteria andrequirements.
* Has average and maximum report runtimes of seven minutes and fourhours, respectively.
* Is operational 16X6 (i.e. the database is available 16 hours perday, 6 days per week).
* Has base data and aggregations that are no more than 24 hours old(i.e., updated daily).

While the 7-Eleven enterprise data warehouse may sound impressive,it was not that way from Day One. We started with Oracle 7.2 and a smallHewlett–Packard (HP) K-class server. We felt like genuine explorers aswe charted new territory for both EDS and 7-Eleven. There were fewreference books or white papers at that time with any detailed datawarehousing techniques. Plus, there were few DBAs who had alreadysuccessfully built multi-terabyte data warehouses with whom to network.Fortunately, EDS and 7-Eleven recognized this fact and embraced thetruly iterative nature of data warehousing development.

Since you are reading this book, it’s safe to assume we can agreethat data warehousing is radically different than traditional onlinetransaction processing (OLTP) applications. Whereas OLTP database andapplication development is generally well-defined and thus easy tocontrol via policies and procedures, data warehousing is more iterativeand experimental. You need the freedom, support, and longevity tointelligently experiment ad-infinitum. With few universal golden rulesto apply, often the method of finding what works best for a given datawarehouse is to:

* Brainstorm for design or tuning ideas.
* Add those ideas to a persistent list of ideas.
* Try whichever ideas currently look promising.
* Record a history of ideas attempted and their results.
* Keep one good idea out of 10-20 tried per iteration.
* Repeat the cycle with an ever growing list of new ideas

As Thomas Peters states, “Life is pretty simple: You do some stuff.Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works.” That’s some of thebest advice I can recommend for successfully building a data warehouseas well.
Purpose

There are numerous data warehousing books out there, so why is thisone different? Simply put: its DBA focus on implementation details. Infact, the mission statement for this book is:

To serve as the DBA’s definitive and detailed reference regardingthe successful design, construction, tuning, and maintenance of starschema data warehouses in Oracle 8i and 9i.

So how is this different from what’s already out there? In general,I’ve found that most data warehousing books fall into one of threecategories:

* Conceptual–Primarily educational about theories andpractices, with very high-level information
* Overview–Catalogs of hardware, software, and databaseoptions, with few specific recommendations
* Cookbook–Detailed, DBA-oriented advice for all the datawarehouse development lifecycle stages

Respectively, “best-of-breed” examples for these three categoriesare:

* Data Warehouse Tool Kit: Practical Techniques for BuildingDimensional Data Warehouses by Ralph Kimball
* Oracle8 Data Warehousing by Gary Dodge and Tim Gorman

This book, primarily since no other book exists with this kind ofdetailed DBA advice

I mean no disrespect to these other categories or their books. Ihighly recommend Kimball’s book to anyone new to data warehousing. Anduntil such time as this books debuts, I also highly recommend Dodge’sbook for DBAs.
Audience

This book is intended for physical DBAs–period, end of story. Thisbook assumes an extensive and detailed working knowledge of Oracletechnologies. Moreover, it presumes a keen awareness of hardware andsoftware options–often a skill possessed only by DBAs who also serve asat least the backup operating system (OS) administrator as well. Thatsaid, there are chapters that will be both applicable and beneficial toother members of the data warehousing team.

The sections on data modeling define how a DBA should interpret andextrapolate an entity relationship diagram (ERD) into a physicaldatabase design. So, this chapter would assist data modelers andapplication architects to understand how a DBA uses their input tocreate the underlying database structure.

Likewise, the sections on staging, promoting, and aggregating datadefine how a DBA should manage objects and processes to mostexpeditiously load massive amounts of data. So, this chapter would beboth educational and inspirational to extract, transform, and load (ETL)programmers tasked with loading a data warehouse.
And finally, the chapter on querying the data defines the indices,statistics, and plans necessary to deliver the best possible ad-hocquery runtimes. So, this chapter would assist business intelligencefront-end designers, who can appreciate how the database handles theircomplex, ad-hoc queries.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
Preface

Oracle PL/SQL by Example, 3rd edition, presents the Oracle PL/SQL programming language in a unique and highly effective format. It challenges you to learn Oracle PL/SQL by using it rather than by simply reading about it.Just as a grammar workbook would teach you about nouns and verbs by first showing you examples and then asking you to write sentences, Oracle PL/SQL by Example teaches you about cursors, loops, procedures, triggers, and so on by first showing you examples and then asking you to create these objects yourself.
Who This Book Is For

This book is intended for anyone who needs a quick but detailed introduction to programming with Oracle’s PL/SQL language. The ideal readers are those with some relational database experience, with some Oracle experience, specifically with SQL and SQL*Plus, but with little or no experience with PL/SQL or with most other programming languages.

The content of this book is based on the material that is taught in an Introduction to PL/SQL class at Columbia University’s Computer Technology and Applications (CTA) program in New York City. The student body is rather diverse, in that there are some students who have years of experience with information technology (IT) and programming, but no experience with Oracle PL/SQL, and then there are those with absolutely no experience in IT or programming. The content of the book, like the class, is balanced to meet the needs of both extremes. The exercises in this book can be used as lab and homework assignments to accompany the lectures in such a PL/SQL course.
How This Book Is Organized

The intent of this workbook is to teach you about Oracle PL/SQL by presenting you with a series of challenges followed by detailed solutions to those challenges. The basic structure of each chapter is as follows:

Chapter
- Lab
- Exercises
- Exercise Answers (with detailed discussion)
- Self-Review Questions
- Lab…
Test Your Thinking Questions

Each chapter contains interactive labs that introduce topics about Oracle PL/SQL. The topics are discussed briefly and then explored though exercises, which are the heart of each lab.

Each exercise consists of a series of steps that you will follow to perform a specific task, along with questions that are designed to help you discover the important things about PL/SQL programming on your own. The answers to these questions are given at the end of the Exercises, along with more in-depth discussion of the concepts explored.

The exercises are not meant to be closed-book quizzes to test your knowledge. On the contrary, they are intended to act as your guide and walk you through a task. You are encouraged to flip back and forth from the exercise question section to the exercise answer section so that, if need be, you can read the answers and discussions as you go along.

At the end of each lab is a series of multiple-choice self-review questions. These are meant to be closed-book quizzes to test how well you understood the lab material. The answers to these questions appear in Appendix A.Finally, at the end of each chapter you will find a Test Your Thinking section, which consists of a series of projects designed to solidify all of the skills you have learned in the chapter. If you have successfully completed all of the labs in the chapter, you should be able to tackle these projects with few problems. You will find guidance and/or solutions to these in Appendix D and at the companion Web site.

Server-Side Flash: Scripts, Databases, and Dynamic Development fills an important gap in the Flash book market. With the emergence of e-commerce, no Web site is complete without a back end because the back end is the virtual sales connection. Likewise, complex games are dependent on access to huge sets of data that can be sent in small packages, but getting them in and out of Flash requires knowing how the data can be generated in Flash, how it can be sent out to the servers and how it gets information back from the servers and integrates it into the ongoing game.

While every book on Flash recognizes this new capacity to some extent, none of them have really showed developers how to get the data into and out of Flash and use it effectively. Server-Side Flash gives developers the tools to fully utilize Flash’s capacity to communicate with the server side of the Web. PHP/MySQL have over half a million users, ASP has at least as many, and just about every professional Web page now contains at least some JavaScript. Find out how Flash communicates with these other languages and servers with coverage of the use of Macromedia’s powerful database Flash product, Generator, and put its use in context with other Flash database techniques and applications.

TCP/IP Sockets in Java, Second Edition: Practical Guide for Programmers

ImageShack

Keith Edwards, Professor, Georgia Tech

“In particular, it’s definitely time for an update to this book, since so many changes to the Java platform have happened since the first edition. While I don’t see the need to update most books every time there’s a minor update, this book is definitely overdue for a revision.

“I think the book is especially appropriate for mature practitioners and students, who need an easily-accessible and to-the-point overview of the Java networking APIs. To me, one of the strongest points of the book is that it?s concise enough to serve as a quick guide and reference to key ?gotchas.? Thus, I think the structure of the book serves audiences who are already good network programmers, or who need a good Java reference, quite well.”

Robert Brunner, Research Programmer, National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA)–
“I think the book does a good job of hitting this market. It is not suited to be a main textbook for a class, and it does not try to do that, But it does do a nice job of succinctly hitting the major points, providing nice examples, as well as a reference for the major important topics. So I see this as a nice book for developers who want to quickly (and cheaply) master networking Java, as well as a supplemental book for courses in continuing education courses or colleges.”

Design Engineering- A Manual for Enhanced Creativity

Design Engineering- A Manual for Enhanced Creativity

Description:
As with any art, science, or discipline, natural talent is only part of the equation. Consistent success stems from honing your skills, cultivating good techniques, and hard work. Design engineering, a field often considered an intuitive process not amenable to scientific investigation, is no exception. Providing descriptive theory, broad context, and practical examples, Design Engineering: A Manual for Enhanced Creativity explores how to quantify
creativity, codify inspiration, and document a process seemingly based solely on intuition. The authors discuss how to clarify the design task, conceptualize candidate solutions, and search for alternatives.


They delineate how these phases fit into an industrial context, including engineering product development, and what to consider during design engineering to satisfy all customers. The book discusses activities and methods for performing
engineering design work in a rational, reviewable, and documented way, increasing the likelihood of finding an optimal solution. The presentation covers substantiated use of intuition and opportunism as an integral part of rational, systematic, and methodical designing. It examines the influence of other topics on the work, such as psychology, computers, teamwork, application of methods, and education. The authors recommend that results from these less systematic activities be brought into the rational and systematic framework to document the results. Based on the authors’ extensive industrial experience, the book elucidates a coherent body of knowledge of design engineering. The book clearly details an easily applicable theory that not only gives you solid design tools, but can also be adapted to any existing design situation.

Windows Server Hacks

ImageShack

Product Description
One of the secrets to the ever-increasing popularity of Windows Server can be found in the simplicity its administration. The easy-to-use GUI, consistent set of tools, and wizards that walk you through complex tasks allow you to install, configure and maintain Windows servers without any knowledge of programming or scripting languages or learning complicated command-line syntax. It’s possible, in fact, to accomplish about 90% of all Windows administration without ever opening a command prompt or running a script! But what about the other ten percent of the time? While it’s true that most common, day-to-day tasks of Windows administration can be performed from the GUI, it’s not always the best way, especially with complex or repetitive tasks Scripts and command-line tools often provide a faster, more flexible approach.

Windows Server Hacks reveals techniques that go well beyond basic management tasks found in most handbooks to help busy system administrators master the more powerful features of Windows Server. Windows Server Hacks focuses on scripts and other tools that will make your life as an administrator much easier. These tools, or hacks–quick and dirty solutions to problems, or clever ways of doing things–were created by other professionals who’ve also had to struggle to find solutions to administering Windows environments. You’ll save valuable time using their scripts, tools, tips, and advice. Plus, you can easily learn to customize the scripts to create even more powerful tools for your own, specific needs. The book includes secrets of the masters in such areas as Active Directory, User Management, Group Policy, DNS and DHCP, File and Print, IIS, performance and security. The hundred, industrial strength hacks in the book range from those that deal with general administration to more esoteric hacks in the areas of network deployment, patch management, and backup and recovery. No matter which Windows server you use–NT, IIS, 2000, or 2003–this book will put the knowledge and expertise of veteran system administrators and hackers to work for you. Windows Server Hacks will make your life easier while expanding your understanding of the capabilities of Windows Server.

Inside Linux

ImageShack

Product Description
With in-depth complete coverage on the installation process, editing and typesetting, graphical user interfaces, programming system administration, and managing Internet sites, Inside Linux is the only book “smart users” new to Linux will need. Many of the users new to Linux have an understanding of computer technology and will be looking for just the right reference to fit their sophisticated needs. This book guides users to a high level of proficiency with all the flavors of Linux, and help them with crucial system administration chores. Inside Linux is different than other books available because it’s a unique blend of a how-to and a reference guide.

Amazon.com
The author of Inside Linux acknowledges that adequately teaching how to use Linux involves more than communicating a series of recipes. For that reason, he goes to considerable effort to explain what’s going on when the user executes various commands. He uses procedures to expose facts about Linux’s innards, rather than as mere strategies for achieving desired effects. Therefore, his prose–particularly his extended coverage of the bash shell–reads like a scientist’s journal: If we do this, here’s what happens (and by the way, here’s why). The approach is more leisurely than that of many introductory Linux books, and it leads to a deeper understanding of what’s going on under the shell.

The author shows how to configure and use XFree86, the K Desktop Environment (KDE), and GNOME. These are handy skills to have, even if most distributions will more or less automate those processes and some readers may wish instead for information on more obscure aspects of the operating system. Coverage of network configuration, where an intimate knowledge of the command line and configuration files is critical, suits this book’s experiment-and-observe format very well. The reader gets to see lots of important pieces of software in action. There’s nothing about Apache, but the sections on setting up FTP and Unix-to-Unix Copy Protocol (UUCP) services are particularly detailed. –David Wall

Topics covered: Linux for those unfamiliar with the operating system, with particular focus on the Caldera OpenLinux 2.2, Red Hat Linux 6, Slackware Linux 4, and SuSE Linux 6.1 distributions. Installation of XFree86, KDE, and GNOME are covered, as are the mechanics of setting up a TCP/IP network at the command line. Coverage of FTP and UUCP services conclude this book.
