There are some step-by-step procedures to follow, but Gilster mostly recognizes that PC hardware varies a lot and leaves most specifics up to readers.
One bit of advice: in the field, supplement this book with Scott Mueller's definitive hardware encyclopedia, Upgrading and Repairing PCs. Operating system coverage focuses on Windows 95, 98, Me, and This is particularly true of a powerful database product like Mcft Access. Novice, and sometimes even experienced, programmers are so concerned with how something is done in Access that they often lose sight of the general principles that underlie their database applications.

Book Description Mcft. NET is an innovative software framework that promises to change software development as we know it. This book answers the questions "What is Mcft. NET and how do I profit from it? NET solve?
The author progressively adds to the depth of Mcft. NET to make his points. Beginning with the basics, this book provides a thorough grounding in theory before guiding the reader through the various stages of applied data modeling and database design.
Later chapters address advanced subjects, including business rules, data warehousing, enterprise-wide modeling and data management. The third edition of this popular book retains its distinctive hallmarks of readability and usefulness, but has been given significantly expanded coverage and reorganized for greater reader comprehension. Authored by two leaders in the field, Data Modeling Essentials, Third Edition is the ideal reference for professionals and students looking for a real-world perspective.
Many application groups are assembling and operating their own "private supercomputers" rather than relying on centralized computing centers.
Such clusters are used in climate modeling, computational biology, astrophysics, and materials science, as well as non-traditional areas such as financial modeling and entertainment. Much of this new popularity can be attributed to the growth of the open-source movement.
The second edition of Beowulf Cluster Computing with Linux has been completely updated; all three stand-alone sections have important new material.
The introductory material in the first part now includes a new chapter giving an overview of the book and background on cluster-specific issues, including why and how to choose a cluster, as well as new chapters on cluster initialization systems including ROCKS and OSCAR and on network setup and tuning.
The information on parallel programming in the second part now includes chapters on basic parallel programming and available libraries and programs for clusters. The third and largest part of the book, which describes software infrastructure and tools for managing cluster resources, has new material on cluster management and on the Scyld system.
It focuses on common authorization tasks and scenarios, and it provides information that helps you choose the best approaches and techniques. This guide is intended for architects and developers.

The Internet has changed our lives, putting a world of opportunity before us.
Unfortunately, it has also put a world of opportunity into the hands of those whose motives are less than honorable. A firewall, a piece of software or hardware that erects a barrier between your computer and those who might like to invade it, is one solution. At home, you want to protect your personal information from identity thieves and other shady characters. The success of the XP and XP Universe conferences is no surprise; some of the brightest minds in software engineering gathered at these venues to discuss the discipline that is XP.
These conferences showcase the continuously changing face of XP. Common programming practices will never be the same, and developers and business people alike need to bear this fact in mind as they plan for the future. Inspired by the techniques and challenges explored at these conferences, Extreme Programming Perspectives presents 47 articles that represent the insights and practical wisdom of the leaders of the XP community.
Encompassing a wide variety of key topics on XP and other agile methodologies, this book offers experience-based techniques for implementing XP effectively and provides successful transitioning strategies. Articles are grouped into six main sections: an overview of XP and agile methodologies; XP development practices; issues involved in transitioning to XP and agile methodologies; real-life experiences of working with XP; tools for facilitating XP development; and finally, ideas for expanding and extending XP.

Even if you know nothing about electronics, you have come to the right place. If you are wondering how microprocessors work, you have come to the right place. A microprocessor is a small processor. If you already know something about electronics, don't be put off by the fact that the book starts out very simple and uses relays instead of transistors.
The story begins as American bombers fall prey to Nazi flak and fighters and continues through the recapture of European skies as seen from American P Mustangs and P Thunderbolts and British Spitfires. Also depicted are breathtaking images of ground strafings and crews coaxing crippled bombers into perilous belly landings. The field of 3-D computer graphics possesses tremendous depth, and any aspect of it is worthy of a focused career.
In large studios, artists concentrate on just one phase of production, be it modeling, texturing, animation, or rendering. It's a pleasure to peruse, because it shares the large-studio focus. The book does feature examples, project files, and some instructions for specific applications, but mostly it's about concept and theory in computer imaging.
For the most part, it avoids application-specific discussion. This is a good thing--any experienced artist uses more than one application, and can easily port this information from one app to another.
There are eight chapters in all, starting with "The Nature of Light" how light works and "The Physiology of Seeing and Perception" how we see light , and moving on to "Fundamentals of Photography and Cinematography" and "Color and Materials.
These first five out of eight chapters are only the first pages of the book. The remaining three chapters, encompassing over pages, are the heart of the book: basic lighting, applied techniques, and dealing with various lighting situations. Filled with numerous specific and conceptual examples, these three chapters describe techniques and principles that can be applied to virtually any scene using any program. It would be fair to call this section of the book Breaking away from a computer-centric mentality, the book's Appendix A discusses the physiology of the human eye--its physical makeup, how it works, and how it converts what it sees to a signal understandable to the human brain.
Appendix B offers a short history of photography, including how the focused image is burned into the chemical surface of the receiving plate. The only real drawback of this book is its lack of color images. While there is an eight-page color plate section in the middle, this is hardly enough to sustain a book that's devoted to lighting and color theory. And, although the accompanying CD-ROM includes most, if not all, of the pictures used in the book, it is not nearly as helpful as having color pictures in the text.
The liberal use of black-and-white images throughout the book is almost an insult to a book about color and light. While application-specific reference books have their place, there are far too few that focus on specific concepts. The book starts with an in-depth tutorial of the Java language, then examines the standard Java library and issues related to the Java development environment, and presents Java applets.
