JBoss 3.2 Deployment and Administration is a guide to the variety of configurative, administrative, and deployment tasks that associated with setting up and running J2EE components on the JBoss application server. Deploying J2EE applications and configuring the application server is one of the most tricky and non-standard elements of J2EE development. Each server interprets and implements the specifications differently, adding its own proprietary features and functionality.JBoss is the leading open source J2EE application server. It was the JavaWorld 2002 Editor's choice for Best Application Server. Its downloads are an order of magnitude greater than any other server (200,000). TogetherSoft poll places JBoss as the leading choice for development (43 per cent). The basic runtime and source is free, however you can pay for documentation and support services.

ASP.NET 2.0 is the next version of ASP.NET, due to be revealed to the public for the first time as part of version 2.0 of the .NET Framework at PDC in October 2003.ASP.NET 2.0 Revealed covers all these features from the perspective of an ASP.NET developer.Prior knowledge of ASP.NET 1.x is assumed, as only people with that knowledge will be using ASP.NET at such an early stage.Because this is such a radical change, all ASP.NET developers will want to know as soon as possible what the new version contains.

Advanced PHP for Flash is the follow-up to the hugely popular Foundation PHP for Flash.

The main aim of this book is to extend the reader's knowledge of using PHP and MySQL to produce dynamic content for Flash. Essentially, it picks up the baton from the first book and runs with it until there's no more road.

The book takes the reader from being an intermediate to an advanced PHP/Flash developer, and helps them create some awesome Flash-based web applications along the way. It covers the core PHP features, as well as some exciting extras, that follow on directly from the knowledge gained in the first chapter, and show the reader how to use them in real-world applications.

This book covers: Sessions File Uploading Advanced MySQL Socket Functions PHP and XML Ming Plus fully functional case studies

This book is aimed squarely at those readers who want to create dynamic Flash-based web applications, and especially at those who have finished the first book and are hungry for more.

As this book is pitched at those with an intermediate knowledge of PHP (and a decent grasp of MySQL) it has the advantage of being useful to both programmers and those coming over from the first book.

"XML Programming Using the Microsoft XML Parser" is written for programmers interested in XML development using Microsoft technologies. Coupling valuable discussion of the Microsoft XML parser, Windows platform, and XML development software with the numerous core XML technologies, including XSLT, XPATH, SAX, DOM, XML Schema, and SOAP, this book steps beyond the mainstream focus on the theoretical aspects of XML and actually demonstrates the concepts in a real-world development environment.

Veteran authors and trainers Soo Mee Foo and Wei Meng Lee intersperse this survey of XML technologies with discussion of topics sure to interest any budding XML developer, providing timely information regarding Web services, ActiveX Data Objects (ADO), and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 XML support. A chapter is also devoted to the Wireless Markup Language (WML), one of the most visible applications of XML technology.

No question, XML is one of the rising stars in information technology. "XML Programming Using the Microsoft XML Parser" offers you what you need to know to get acquainted with the concepts necessary to begin development with this exciting technology.

Design Patterns for Web Services in Java describes the architectural patterns that guide developers through design patterns (service implementation and usage) and illustrates different ways in which Web services can and will be used. Design Patterns for Web Services in Java is not the typical narrative tome. Instead, after some introductory text, author Paul Monday provides a catalog of approximately 20 patterns that are typically needed in the development of Web services-based systems.

XHTML is a flexible XML-based markup language for designing Web sites. In January 2000, the W3C announced that it was supporting the development of XHTML as a replacement to HTML. HTML will continue to be around for a while, but if you want to develop Web sites for the future you need to switch to XHTML. Designers who make the change find that they can develop faster, better sites using XHTML. Most Web sites are interactive, responding to the viewer. To do this you need to use a scripting language - JavaScript is the most popular scripting language and interfaces easily with XHTML. To develop powerful interactive Web sites you need to understand these technologies and how they work together. Essential XHTML fast gives you everything you need to develop great Web sites in XHTML, including an introduction to scripting with JavaScript so that you can create dynamic interactive Web pages. There are many step-by-step examples, which you can download from the series Web site. It covers key aspects such as: - The relationship between XML and XHTML - Cascading Style sheets for formatting layout - Using text, images and image maps as links- Creating and using tables - The new standard for frames - Interactive XHTML forms - The JavaScript language- Incorporating JavaScript into XHTML pages- Handling events in JavaScript The source code for the examples in this book is available at the Essential series web site http://www.essential-series.com

Explains how to configure a telephone or PDA into a network browser, turn a desktop PC into a print server, transfer files between devices, set up and configure a Bluetooth network simulator, and encrypt data transmissions.

What is JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) and how can you put it to work? This concise guide helps busy IT professionals get up and running quickly with this popular data interchange format, and provides a deep understanding of how JSON works. Author Lindsay Bassett begins with an overview of JSON syntax, data types, formatting, and security concerns before exploring the many ways you can apply JSON today. From Web APIs and server-side language libraries to NoSQL databases and client-side frameworks, JSON has emerged as a viable alternative to XML for exchanging data between different platforms. If you have some programming experience and understand HTML and JavaScript, this is your book. Learn why JSON syntax represents data in name-value pairs Explore JSON data types, including object, string, number, and array Find out how you can combat common security concerns Learn how the JSON schema verifies that data is formatted correctly Examine the relationship between browsers, web APIs, and JSON Understand how web servers can both request and create data Discover how jQuery and other client-side frameworks use JSON Learn why the CouchDB NoSQL database uses JSON to store dat

Modern software systems are composed of many servers, services, and other components that communicate through APIs. As a developer, your job is to make sure these APIs are stable, reliable, and easy to use for other developers. API Design Patterns provides you with a unique catalog of design standards and best practices to ensure your APIs are flexible and user-friendly. Fully illustrated with examples and relevant use-cases, this essential guide covers patterns for API fundamentals and real-world system designs, along with quite a few not-so-common scenarios and edge-cases. about the technologyAPI design patterns are a useful set of best practice specifications and common solutions to API design challenges. Using accepted design patterns creates a shared language amongst developers who create and consume APIs, which is especially critical given the explosion of mission-critical public-facing web APIs. API Patterns are still being developed and discovered. This collection, gathered and tested by Google API expert JJ Geewax, is the first of its kind. about the book API Design Patterns draws on the collected wisdom of the API community, including the internal developer knowledge base at Google, laying out an innovative set of design patterns for developing both internal and public-facing APIs. In this essential guide, Google Software Engineer JJ Geewax provides a unique and authoritative catalog of patterns that promote flexibility and ease-of-use in your APIs. Each pattern in the catalog is fully illustrated with its own example API, use-cases for solving common API design challenges, and scenarios for tricky edge issues using a pattern's more subtle features. With the best practices laid out in this book, you can ensure your APIs are adaptive in the face of change and easy for your clients to incorporate into their projects. what's inside A full case-study of building an API and adding features The guiding principles that underpin most API patterns Fundamental patterns for resource layout and naming Advanced patterns for special interactions and data transformations about the readerAimed at software developers with experience using APIs, who want to start building their own. about the author JJ Geewax is a software engineer at Google, focusing on Google Cloud Platform and API design. He is also the author of Google Cloud Platform in Action.

Introduction to Modeling and Simulation with MATLAB and Python is intended for students and professionals in science, social science, and engineering that wish to learn the principles of computer modeling, as well as basic programming skills. The book content focuses on meeting a set of basic modeling and simulation competencies that were developed as part of several National Science Foundation grants. Even though computer science students are much more expert programmers, they are not often given the opportunity to see how those skills are being applied to solve complex science and engineering problems and may also not be aware of the libraries used by scientists to create those models. The book interleaves chapters on modeling concepts and related exercises with programming concepts and exercises. The authors start with an introduction to modeling and its importance to current practices in the sciences and engineering. They introduce each of the programming environments and the syntax used to represent variables and compute mathematical equations and functions. As students gain more programming expertise, the authors return to modeling concepts, providing starting code for a variety of exercises where students add additional code to solve the problem and provide an analysis of the outcomes. In this way, the book builds both modeling and programming expertise with a "just-in-time" approach so that by the end of the book, students can take on relatively simple modeling example on their own. Each chapter is supplemented with references to additional reading, tutorials, and exercises that guide students to additional help and allows them to practice both their programming and analytical modeling skills. In addition, each of the programming related chapters is divided into two parts - one for MATLAB and one for Python. In these chapters, the authors also refer to additional online tutorials that students can use if they are having difficulty with any of the topics. The book culminates with a set of final project exercise suggestions that incorporate both the modeling and programming skills provided in the rest of the volume. Those projects could be undertaken by individuals or small groups of students. The companion website at http://www.intromodeling.com provides updates to instructions when there are substantial changes in software versions, as well as electronic copies of exercises and the related code. The website also offers a space where people can suggest additional projects they are willing to share as well as comments on the existing projects and exercises throughout the book. Solutions and lecture notes will also be available for qualifying instructors.
