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.

The days of Flash as a creative luxury are long gone. After months of downsizing, Flash creativity has been on a huge rationalization program. It is no longer enough to present animation in millions of colors and a hundred transparencies. It is no longer sufficient to provide interactivity and dynamism for their own sake. The purpose of this collection is to show how designers have taken Flash and made it work for its supper. What we discover is a series of creations that place Flash at the hub of cutting edge web content. The end result is a snapshot of Flash as the ideal medium. In these amazing examples, we see the software pushed to its limits to create unbeatable applications-a collapsible family tree, an interactive video learning system, and a drawing tool, capable of running online! Beyond this, we dip into the back-end capabilities to look at how to improve Flash still further. Some staple XML and PHP routines are brought in to add a bit of spice, while Flash's mysterious sharedObject command is hunted down and tamed to create a hybrid Tamagotchi houseplant-perfectly suited to lure surfers back to your website!

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed joint post-proceedings of three workshops held as part of the 8th International Conference on Extending Database Technology, EDBT 2002, in Prague, Czech Republic, in March 2002.The 43 revised full papers presented were carefully selected from approximately 130 submissions during two rounds of reviewing and revision. The papers are organized in topical sections on XML and metadata, extraction of structure information and transformation of XML documents, querying of XML, XML database systems and performance evaluation, video retrieval, multimedia retrieval, intelligent documents, Web documents, system architectures, query processing, Internet and databases, adaptable databases, and large databases.

Java Persistence for Relational Databases is best practices and patterns for readers who want to connect to databases using Java. It also includes coverage of various database-related APIs for Java, including JDO, JDBC (including newest 3.0 APIs), and CMP (Container Managed Persistence with EJB).Java Persistence for Relational Databases contains all those things developers want to know but were afraid to ask. It addresses realistically persisting Java objects in various ways. Whether a developers environment requires them to use JDO, CMP, Castor, or hand code a persistence layer using JDBC, there is something in this book for them.

"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

"Building Client/Server Applications with VB .NET: An Example-Driven Approach" is based on Release 1.0 of the .NET Framework / Release 1.0 of Visual Studio .NET + .NET Framework Service Pack 1. -->Jeff Levinson--> walks readers through how to write a complete applicationno snippets of codeand will show readers examples of how, when, and why to perform a task. "Building Client/Server Applications with VB .NET: An Example-Driven Approach" is "the" manual on software development for enterprise application development.

In today's world, smart cards play an increasingly important role in everyday life. We encounter them as credit cards, loyalty cards, electronic purses, health cards, and as secure tokens for authentication or digital signature. Their small size and the compatibility of their form with the magnetic stripe card make them ideal carriers of personal information such as secret keys, passwords, customization profiles, and medical emergency information. This book provides a guide for the rapid development of smart card applications using Java and the OpenCard Framework. It gives you the basic information you need about smart cards and how they work. It shows in detail how to develop applications that use smart cards by guiding you through examples step by step. A smart card provided with the book will help you to quickly get some first hands-on experience.

 This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed joint post-proceedings of the VLDB 2002 Workshop on Efficiency and Effectiveness of XML Tools and Techniques, EEXTT and the CAiSE 2002 Workshop on Data Integration over the Web, DIWeb. The 10 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and revision. The papers are organized in topical sections on XML languages, XML modeling and integration, XML storage, benchmarking XML, and data integration over the Web.

"Architecting Web Services" is targeted toward developers and technical architects who have heard about, and even started to work with, Web services. The book starts with a background on the evolution of Web services and their significance to future collaborative efforts via the Internet. It then reveals the architecture for Web services and the various relationships that can be established through their consumption.

Following a short technical primer on XML and related technologies, the Web services model is outlined to illustrate the decisions that have to be made in the areas of presentation, interface, and security before the design is even started. Topics ranging from content to state management to system infrastructures are discussed to help you understand the options and the pitfalls when developing robust Web services.

The life cycle of implementing Web services from start to finish is illustrated, taking existing processes and exposing their functionality through Web services. Examples extend both Java and COM objects as Web services before exposing an entire hotel reservation system through a Web services workflow. These exercises are followed by three application scenarios that consume these Web services, again with both Java and Visual Basic/ASP examples. Discussions cover the design, implementation, and testing of each solution to ensure a successful result.

Finally, the book takes a look ahead at the future of Web services by examining both the current strategies of the primary vendors and the standards initiatives that are presently under way. A companion website provides all the source code, and hosts the Web services and sample applications introduced in the book.

Leitlinie dieser Einfuhrung in die Informatik ist die Frage, welche Vorgehensweisen einem Problem informatische Kontur verleihen und welche Techniken zur Verfugung stehen, um Informatiksysteme analysieren oder entwerfen zu konnen.

Modelle enstehen in der Zusammenschau unterschiedlicher Ansichten eines Systems, die durch pragnante Diagramme beschrieben werden: Entity-Relationship-, Systemstruktur-, Zustandsubergangs- und Sequenzdiagramme. Inharenter Bestandteil dieser grafischen Beschreibungstechniken ist die Charakterisierung der zugrundeliegenden Daten (z.B. in funktionaler Programmierung). Die Autoren verwenden in Ihrem Werk AutoFOCUS zum Diagramm-orientierten Systementwurf, zur Konsistenzprufung und zur Simulation. Sie gehen den Fragen nach, wie sich Diagramme in formale Spezifikationen ubertragen lassen, woher eine Systementwicklung ihre Argumente nimmt, nach welchen Methoden verifiziert wird und wie interaktive Theorembeweiser, wie z.B. Isabelle/HOL, arbeiten."

"Moving to ASP.NET: Web Development with VB .NET" provides focused and thorough guidance on creating Web applications using ASP.NET, including both Web Form applications and Web Services. Authors -->Steve Harris--> and -->Rob MacDonald--> have worked extensively with .NET throughout the beta program, and offer their real-world experience creating and implementing ASP.NET applications.

The authors discuss and examine relevant topics, and teach you how to make immediate use of ASP.NET. Topics include Web Forms, server-side and mobile controls, data access and binding, and XML integration. Also covered are .NET architecture and configuration, security, state and session management, scalability design, and Web Services. Extensive examples are featured throughout the book, and are also available on the Web for you to access and download.

Java and Object Orientation: An Introduction (2nd edition) shows readers how to build object oriented applications in Java. Written in a clear and concise style, with lots of examples, this revised edition provides:- A detailed understanding of object orientation- A thorough introduction to Java including building blocks, constructs, classes, data structures etc.- Coverage of graphical user interfaces and applets (AWT, Servlets)- Object oriented analysis and design including UML. If you are looking for a good introduction to Java and object orientation, then this is the book for you. Source code for the examples in this book is available at: http://www.java-and-oo.net

Java developers have adapted to a world in which everything is an object, resources are reclaimed by a garbage collector, and multiple inheritance is replaced by interfaces. All of these things have prepared developers to thrive in Microsoft's new .NET environment using C#.

Despite similarities between Java and C#, complex differences still lurk. This book will walk you through both language and library differences, to help you develop enterprise applications requiring mastery. You will then be able to build applications that communicate with databases and include network components, web pages, and many other features.

Ordinarily, Java developers rely on Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) to provide these libraries, and C# developers rely on the .NET Framework. At first glance, there seems little similarity between the two, but author Paul Gibbons shows how a Java developer's J2EE skills transfer smoothly when tackling the .NET Framework.

Early chapters highlight C#'s differences from Java, and discuss differences between the .NET CLR and JVM. Subsequent chapters cover various technologies in which J2EE development translates into .NET enterprise development. These middle chapters also explain .NET technologies that Java developers can begin using immediately. The final chapter examines migration of existing Java applications to C#, and the available tools and techniques. By the end of ."NET Development for Java Programmers," a professional Java developer will be able to tackle a real software project in .NET, using C#.
