The Easy, Example-Based Guide to Ajax for Every Web Developer

Using Ajax, you can build Web applications with the sophistication and usability of traditional desktop

applications and you can do it using standards and open source software. Now, for the first time,

there's an easy, example-driven guide to Ajax for every Web and open source developer, regardless of

experience.

Edmond Woychowsky begins with simple techniques involving only HTML and basic JavaScript. Then,

one step at a time, he introduces techniques for building increasingly rich applications. Don't worry if

you're not an expert on Ajax's underlying technologies; Woychowsky offers refreshers on them, from

JavaScript to the XMLHttpRequest object. You'll also find multiple open source technologies and open

standards throughout, ranging from Firefox to Ruby and MySQL.

You'll not only learn how to write "functional" code, but also master design patterns for writing rocksolid,

high-performance Ajax applications. You'll also learn how to use frameworks such as Ruby on

Rails to get the job done fast.

• Learn how Ajax works, how it evolved, and what it's good for
• Understand the flow of processing in Ajax applications
• Build Ajax applications with XML and the XMLHttpRequest object
• Integrate back-end code, from PHP to C#
• Use XSLT and XPath, including XPath Axis
• Develop client-side Ajax libraries to support code reuse
• Streamline development with Ruby on Rails and the Ruby programming language
• Use the cross-browser HTML DOM to update parts of a page
• Discover the best Ajax Web resources, including Ajax-capable JavaScript libraries

The practical AJAX application book from an open source perspective

• Uses a building-block approach that adds more complex techniqes as readers advance, teaching them how to create Rich Internet Applications
• Also covers Ruby on Rails and other different combinations for AJAX development
• Presents AJAX design patterns, use cases, and frameworks
• Part of the successful Bruce Perens Open Source Series

Appropriate for all courses in Qt or KDE programming.

C++ GUI Programming with Qt 3 is the first official TrollTech guide to Qt 3.x programming. In this book, two TrollTech insiders provide students all they need to build industrial-strength applications with Qt 3.x and C++: applications that can run natively on Windows, Linux/Unix, Solaris, Mac OS X, and embedded Linux with no source code changes. The book teaches through example, and covers every facet of Qt 3 programming, ranging from basic user interfaces and layout managers to 2D/3D graphics, drag-and-drop, signaling, networking, XML, database integration, even internationalization and multithreading. The coverage will be appropriate for students at all levels of Qt expertise; students planning to build either open source or commercial applications; and students who wish to develop for Windows without purchasing an expensive compiler. C++ GUI Programming with Qt 3 is part of Bruce Perens Open Source Series, edited by Bruce Perens, one of the worlds leading authorities on open source technologies.

Unlike other cross-platform GUI toolkits (Tcl/Tk, Qt, AWT) wxWidgets

supports the native look-and-feel of the local OS. And unlike Qt, wxWidgets is

truly Open Source. It also works with virtually every standard C++ compiler.

It is a perfect solution for organizations interested in porting Windows

applications to Linux and other platforms. And with Mac OS X and Linux

gaining marketshare daily, many organizations -- including Xerox, Advanced

Micro Devices, AOL, Lockheed Martin, NASA--have adopted wxWidgets in

order to support Windows, Linux, OS X, and Unix for their applications. See

http://www.wxwidgets.org/

And wxWidgets is HOT. Mitch Kapor's OSAF is using wxWidgets for its

Chandler PIM. Bram Cohen uses wxWidgets for BitTorrent. Borland has

added enormous credibility to wxWidgets by incorporating it into its newest

C++ IDE: C++ BuilderX. wxWidgets is Borland's cross-platform

development solution.

Master C++ and design patterns together, using the world's leading open source framework for cross-platform development: Qt 4. This book provides a unique approach to learning C++ using design patterns, for working professionals who already have some programming experience with another language or for students taking a course on C++ and Design Patterns. It is also a good introduction to Qt for users of C++ who have not yet discovered Qt.

In typical Linux "bibles," reserve the last third coverage for advanced topics

that sys admins use on a day by day basis. They tend to cover the underlying

concepts reasonably well, but fall short on hands-on instructions, forcing

admins to buy specialty books. This book sufficiently expands the advanced

sections found in these "bibles," providing step-by step instructions on how to

configure the most popular Linux back office applications.

To avoid confusion between the many flavors of Linux, each with it's own

GUI interface, this book exclusively uses the command line to illustrate the

tasks needed to be done. It provides all the expected screen output when

configuring the most commonly used Linux applications to help assure the

reader that they are doing the right thing. The Notebook also includes many of

the most commonly encountered errors with explanations of their causes and

how to fix them. The book's format is aimed at sys admins who often have to

do advanced tasks in which the underlying theory is understood, but the

commands to do it are forgotten or at the tips of their tongues.

As the line between power users and administrators continues to blur, as

computers move from the data center to the desktop, as Linux and Windows

gain equal footing in business, it becomes harder to remember and do it all.

This is the guide that gives admins the answers they need to common problems

and tasks, allowing them time to eat lunch.

Samba use continues to grow, particularly amongst Windows users. The

updates to the software have been extensive and this revised edition covers

structural changes and new features. Samba 3 will continue to dominate as

Samba 4 will not release for some time and will not be taken up strongly for at

least two years. Users have been asking for an updated book NOW. The

collected information this book conveys comes from answers given to

subscribers on the Samba mailing lists. Each question and answer has been

further investigated and documented. Particular coverage is given to all new

functionality and features introduced in Samba 3.0.14 (Replaceable password

backends, loadable virtual file system modules, implementation of advanced

management concepts, and much more). This book helps readers deploy

Samba 3.0.14, the latest version available this coming June. Existing Samba

users will appreciate the information on what is new with Samba 3.0.14. This

book also eases the transition for those switching over from Microsoft

Windows Server. 2003
