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.

RuleML 2003 was the second international workshop on rules and rule markup languages for the Semantic Web, held in conjunction with the International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC). The aim of the RuleML workshop series is to stimulate research on all issues related to web rule languages and to provide an annual forum for presenting and discussing new research results. The Semantic Web is a major world-wide endeavor to advance the Web by enriching its multimedia document content with propositional information that can be processed by inference-enabled Web applications. Rules and rule markup languages, such as RuleML, will play an important role in the success of the Semantic Web. Rules will act as a means to draw inferences, to express constraints, tospecifypoliciesforreactingtoevents, totransformdata, etc.Rule markup languages will allow us to enrich Web ontologies by adding de?nitions of derived concepts, to publish rules on the Web, to exchange rules between di?erent systems and tools, etc. RuleML 2003 built on the success of RuleML 2002, which was held in c- junction with ISWC 2002, Sardinia, Italy. The proceedings of RuleML 2002 can be found at http: //www.ceur-ws.org/Vol-60/. Special highlights of the RuleML 2003 workshop were the two invited pres- tationsgivenbyPeterChenon"Rules, XML, andtheERModel"andbyHarold Boley on "Object-Oriented RuleML: User-Level Roles, URI-Grounded Clauses, and Order-Sorted Terms." This proceedings volume also contains an invited - per by Francois, Bry and Sebastian Scha?ert on "An Entailment Relation for Reasoning on the Web.""

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.

Using and Understanding Java Data Objects is an application programmer's guide to the Java Data Objects (JDO) specification recently accepted by the Java Community Process. JDO provides a universal and transactional persistence service for objects. JDO will store and retrieve objects of nearly any application defined class using any data storage technology for which a JDO implementation is available. JDO completely encapsulates the details of the underlying data storage technology that is used. JDO has its own query language (JDOQL) that allows the programmer to find objects based on the fields and relationships of the object model. The syntax of JDOQL is similar to the syntax of Java itself. JDO increases programming productivity by simplifying and minimizing the code that must be written to store and retrieve object state. The use of JDO also allows the application to be ported across different data storage technologies. Like the servlet and EJB specification, JDO is a standard that will be implemented by competing software vendors. Several JDO implementations are currently available as third party products for relational databases and object oriented databases. of JDO. Part I is a guide to the JDO API, the JDO metadata, and JDO's byte code enhancement. Part II explains the use of JDO in several application deployment scenarios, including stand-alone, client-server, servlet, and EJBs. Part III is a tutorial explaining the example programs and learning tools supplied with the book.

ASP.NET is a wonderful new enabling technology that allows developers to create business solutions much more effectively than ever before. However, there is room for improvement.

Once you've got a web site up and running it is all too easy to sit back and relax. But how do you know you did a good job? How can you improve the site you have based on real user behaviour? Without getting feedback from your users, how will you find out how it's being used? Web traffic analysis allows you to gain some insight into your site users: where they come from, what pages they like, and how often they come back. However, as statistics are prone to being misinterpreted, your insight often has to be taken with a pinch of salt. This book takes you through the process of analyzing your traffic, without taking for granted the statistics that you generate. Assuming you have a web site, reading this book will help you learn: - The techniques for gathering data on your users - Standards and Guidelines you should adhere to when interpreting your data - What other sites are doing to ensure they respect the privacy of their users - Insight into how real sites use web traffic analysis - Major case case studies from BBC News Online, eBay, and ASPToday - Additional material from The Onion, SmartGirl, and The New York Times From the Publisher This book is for any web professional who wants to understand their site traffic. It's also for anyone with an interest in finding out where their site is most used, and how to make comparisons with other sites. To get the most from this book, you'll need access to log files for your web site as they contain the information we'll show you how to analyze. The book discusses the privacy practices of The Onion, SmartGirl, and The New York Times, as well as examining in detail the traffic analysis techniques used by BBC News Online, eBay, and ASPToday.
