Good to great - Jim Collins

2009-05-11T07:12:00.007-07:00

This book is a fascinating read! A study taken over five years began with twenty-eight corporations and revealed eleven that had made the leap from Good to Great. From this study, I gained an instant understanding of the role of humility in leadership. The primary ambition of great leaders is focused on the success of their company, not on themselves.

Collins advocates the Hedgehog Concept - a combination of discovering what you can be best in the world at (Optimal Thinking), what you are passionate about, and what drives your economic engine. Collins states that sustained disciplined action is primarily achieved by “fanatical adherence to the Hedgehog Concept and the willingness to shun opportunities that fall outside the three circles.” So my question is: How do you identify the best? I recommend Optimal Thinking: How To Be Your Best Self by Dr. Rosalene Glickman as an adjunct to this powerful book to provide the mental resource to identify the best, optimize emotional and financial intelligence and create a corporate culture of optimization. From Good to Greatest to Best!”

Network Administration with FreeBSD 7

2009-05-08T12:17:00.000-07:00

This book is a guide to FreeBSD for network administrators; therefore it does not cover basic installation and configuration of FreeBSD, but is about using FreeBSD to build, secure, and maintain networks.

After introducing the basic tools for monitoring the performance and security of the system the book moves on to cover using jails—FreeBSD virtual environments—to virtually run multiple instances of FreeBSD on the same hardware. Then it shows how to overcome the different bottlenecks that you may meet depending on the services you are running by tweaking different parameters to maintain a high performance from your FreeBSD server. Next it covers using the ifconfig utility to configure interfaces with different layer protocols and about connectivity testing and debugging tools. After covering using User PPP or Kernel PPP for Point-to-Point Protocol network configuration it explains basic IP forwarding in FreeBSD and the use of the built-in routing daemons, routed and route6d, which support RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, and RDISC. Next it covers the OpenOSPFD and OpenBGPD daemons that you can install to run OSPF and BGP on your host. Then it covers setup and configuration of IPFW and PF, and finally looks at some important internet services and how to set them up on your FreeBSD server.

Pro DND and BIND

2009-05-08T12:09:00.004-07:00

Pro DNS and BIND guides you through the challenging array of features surrounding DNS, with a special focus on BIND, the world’s most popular DNS implementation. This book unravels the mysteries of DNS, offering insight into origins, evolution, and key concepts like domain names and zone files. This book focuses on running DNS systems based on BIND 9.3.0—the first stable release that includes support for the latest DNSSEC (DNSSEC.bis) standards and a major functional upgrade from previous BIND 9 releases.

If you administer a DNS system or are thinking about running one, or if you need to upgrade to support IPv6 DNS, need to secure a DNS for zone transfer, dynamic update, or other reasons, or if you need to implement DNSSEC, or simply want to understand the DNS system, then this book provides you with a single point of reference.

Various features, parameters, and resource records are described and, in the majority of cases, illustrated with one or more examples.

The book contains a complete reference to zone files, Resource Records, and BIND’s configuration file parameters. You can treat the book as as a simple paint-by-numbers guide to everything from a simple caching DNS, to the most complex secure DNS (DNSSEC) implementation. Background information is still included for when you need to know what to do and why you have to do it, and so that you can modify processes to meet your unique needs.

Topics Include:
Introduction to the DNS Basic DNS types with complete configuarion examples DNS and IPv6 Installing BIND on Linux, FreeBSD and Windows Subdomain delegation DNS and load balancing Reverse map delegation DNSSEC (DNSSEC.bis) and the DLV experimental service Key rollover and DNSSEC maintenance DNS tools and diagnostics.

Linux Annoyances For Geeks

2009-05-08T11:50:00.006-07:00

GNU/Linux is an immensely popular operating system that is both extremely stable and reliable. But it can also induce minor headaches at the most inopportune times, if you’re not fully up to speed with its capabilities.

A unique approach to running and administering Linux systems, Linux Annoyances for Geeks addresses the many poorly documented and under-appreciated topics that make the difference between a system you struggle with and a system you really enjoy. This book is for power users and system administrators who want to clear away barriers to using Linux for themselves and for less-trained users in their organizations.

This book meticulously tells you how to get a stubborn wireless card to work under Linux, and reveals little-known sources for wireless driversand information. It tells you how to add extra security to your systems, such as boot passwords, and how to use tools such as rescue disks to overcome overly zealous security measures in a pinch. In every area of desktop and server use, the book is chock full of advice based on hard-earned experience.

Author Michael Jang has spent many hours trying out software in a wide range of environments and carefully documenting solutions for the most popular Linux distributions. (The book focuses on Red Hat/Fedora, SUSE, and Debian.) Many of the topics presented here are previously undocumented or are discussed only in obscure email archives.

One of the valuable features of this book for system administrators and Linux proponents in general is the organization of step-by-step procedures that they can customize for naive end-users at their sites. Jang has taken into account not only the needs of a sophisticated readership, but the needs of other people those readers may serve.

Sometimes, a small thing for a user (such as being able to play a CD) or for an administrator (such as updating an organizations’ systems from a central server) can make or break the adoption of Linux. This book helps you overcome the most common annoyances in deploying Linux, and trains you in the techniques that will help you overcome other problems you find along the way.

In keeping with the spirit of the Annoyances series, the book adopts a sympathetic tone that will quickly win you over. Rather than blaming you for possessing limited Linux savvy, Linux Annoyances for Geeks takes you along for a fun-filled ride as you master the system together.

Linux FireWalls

2009-05-08T11:43:00.005-07:00

System administrators need to stay ahead of new security vulnerabilities that leave their networks exposed every day. A firewall and an intrusion detection systems (IDS) are two important weapons in that fight, enabling you to proactively deny access and monitor network traffic for signs of an attack.

Linux Firewalls discusses the technical details of the iptables firewall and the Netfilter framework that are built into the Linux kernel, and it explains how they provide strong filtering, Network Address Translation (NAT), state tracking, and application layer inspection capabilities that rival many commercial tools. You’ll learn how to deploy iptables as an IDS with psad and fwsnort and how to build a strong, passive authentication layer around iptables with fwknop.

Concrete examples illustrate concepts such as firewall log analysis and policies, passive network authentication and authorization, exploit packet traces, Snort ruleset emulation, and more with coverage of these topics:

* Passive network authentication and OS fingerprinting.
* iptables log analysis and policies.
* Application layer attack detection with the iptables string match extension.
* Building an iptables ruleset that emulates a Snort ruleset.
* Port knocking vs. Single Packet Authorization (SPA).
* Tools for visualizing iptables logs.

Perl and C code snippets offer practical examples that will help you to maximize your deployment of Linux firewalls. If you’re responsible for keeping a network secure, you’ll find Linux Firewalls invaluable in your attempt to understand attacks and use iptables along with psad and fwsnort to detect and even prevent compromises.

Linux Networking Clearly Explained

2009-05-08T11:43:00.002-07:00

Linux, like all Unix variants, was built for networking above all. As a result, its networking features are flexible and reliable and daunting to Linux newcomers who aren’t familiar enough with terms and concepts even to know what to look for in the documentation. Bryan Pfaffenberger does a service to people new to Linux networking with Linux Networking Clearly Explained, an assume-nothing guide to local area networks (LANs) and Internet connectivity under the open-source operating system. Pfaffenberger shows how to do everything file sharing, printer sharing, inter-machine backups, and Internet connection sharing that most home and office computer users want to do with their LANs. He explains how Linux fits into an environment of diverse equipment, showing how to make Linux machines talk to Mac OS units and Windows computers.

Web Application Design Patterns (Interactive Technologies)
448 pages | Morgan Kaufmann (March 13, 2009) | 012374265X | PDF | 29 Mb
Ever notice that-in spite of their pervasiveness-designing web applications is still challenging? While their benefits motivate their creation, there are no well-established guidelines for design. This often results in inconsistent behaviors and appearances, even among web applications created by the same company.

Design patterns for web applications, similar in concept to those for web sites and software design, offer an effective solution. In Web Application Design Patterns, Pawan Vora documents design patterns for web applications by not only identifying design solutions for user interaction problems, but also by examining the rationale for their effectiveness, and by presenting how they should be applied.

. Design interfaces faster, with a better rationale for the solutions you choose.
. Learn from over more than100 patterns, with extensive annotation on use and extension.
. Take a short-cut into understanding the industry with more than 500 full-color screenshots and a web site for help, discussion, and a collection of additional patterns.

Foundation XML and E4X for Flash and Flex

Foundation XML and E4X for Flash and Flex

Foundation XML and E4X for Flash and Flex
520 pages | friends of ED; 1 edition (January 12, 2009) | 1430216344 | PDF | 5 Mb
XML is the lingua franca of the Web. All designers and developers working in a web environment need a sound understanding of XML and its role in application development. Many software packages and organizations allow for the exchange of data using an XML format. Web services and RSS feeds are now commonplace.

For those working with Flash and Flex, a thorough understanding of XML is particularly important. XML documents are one option for the data provided to SWF applications. Flash and Flex can load, display, and modify XML content. These applications can also send XML content to other applications for updating or for use in different situations.

ActionScript 3.0 introduces some fundamental changes to the way in which Flash and Flex applications work with XML. One significant change is that XML is now a native data type. ActionScript 3.0 also introduces new classes and a different framework for working with external documents. These changes are based on the E4X ECMAScript standard, and they streamline and simplify the process for working with XML in Flash and Flex.

In this book, Sas Jacobs gives you an introduction to XML and E4X. She explores the new XML and XMLList classes and explains E4X expressions, providing examples for both Flash and Flex. In addition to explaining how to incorporate XML documents in SWF applications, Sas Jacobs shows you approaches specific to Flash and Flex and explores real-world usage. The book finishes with two case studies. In the first, you will learn how to consume and display information and images from Flickr using Flash. In the second, you will work with Adobe Kuler in Flex.

Whether you are a designer or developer, this book will help you work with XML and make the transition from ActionScript 2.0 to ActionScript 3.0. It will also provide you with an excellent grounding if you are new to Flash and Flex.
In this book, you'll learn how to:
Work with the new XML and XMLList classes in ActionScript 3.0
Build E4X expressions in ActionScript 3.0 to simplify your work flow
Work with XML content in Flash and Flex to create dynamic web applications
Consume REST and SOAP web services in Flash and Flex
Build real-world Flash and Flex XML applications

GFI Network Security and PCI Compliance Power Tools

GFI Network Security and PCI Compliance Power Tools
466 pages | Syngress; 1st edition (September 22, 2008) | 159749285X | PDF | 16 Mb
For system administrators and IT security professionals to properly secure their networks, it is imperative that they utilize tools which constantly scan their networks and report back suspicious activity and/or the presence of known security vulnerabilities. These tasks are also key components for companies who must achieve Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI) compliance. GFI Network Security is a market leader in this security scanning, reporting, and federal compliance space. Their products are deployed on over 200,000 networks worldwide and they have over 10,000 worldwide re-sellers. The GFI customer base is also extremely active and tightly-knit. Their forums have over 14,000 registered users and there are currently 18,200 topics under discussion. These are good indicators of both the size of the market and users' need to gain more information on GFI products. This book is the first reference for these system administrators and security professionals specifically covering GFI's products. The book is being developed with support of the GFI Engineering team.

GFI LANGuard Network Security Scanner (NSS) combines vulnerability scanning and patch management functions into one, powerful tool set. By analyzing the operating system and the applications running on a network, GFI LANguard NSS identifies potential security issues. It then alerts system administrators and security professionals to weaknesses before a hacker can find them. This allows the IT staff to close any holes before they are exploited. The GFI PCI Suite is a package comprising the core software required for companies to achieve Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI) compliance. This suite is a component of GFI LANGuard Network Security Scanner (NSS). The GFI PCI Suite also features enhanced reporting functionality with reports created specifically to help organizations become compliant.

GFI products have received introductory coverage in dozens of IT books for system administrators and security professionals. But, these tools have never received the in-depth, substantive coverage required to truly master them. While our book will have a certain amount of introductory material, it will be primarily written for intermediate to advanced users who must push these tools to the limits to do their jobs. Readers of this book have already scoured the user forums and smattering of coverage in other books. Now, they'll finally have the comprehensive reference they need.

* Use GFI EndPointSecurity to Lock Down Hardware
* Create Protection Policies to Control the Level of Device Access
* Master Advanced Features of GFI: Locking Device Categories, Blacklisting and Whitelisting Devices, Using File Type Restrictions and More

PHP and MySQL Web Development (4th Edition)

PHP and MySQL Web Development (4th Edition)
1008 pages | Addison-Wesley Professional; 4 edition (October 11, 2008) | 0672329166 | PDF | 11 Mb
PHP and MySQL are popular open-source technologies that are ideal for quickly developing database-driven Web applications. PHP is a powerful scripting language designed to enable developers to create highly featured Web applications quickly, and MySQL is a fast, reliable database that integrates well with PHP and is suited for dynamic Internet-based applications.

PHP and MySQL Web Development shows how to use these tools together to produce effective, interactive Web applications. It clearly describes the basics of the PHP language, explains how to set up and work with a MySQL database, and then shows how to use PHP to interact with the database and the server.

This practical, hands-on book includes numerous examples that demonstrate common tasks such as authenticating users, constructing a shopping cart, generating PDF documents and images dynamically, sending and managing email, facilitating user discussions, connecting to Web services using XML, and developing Web 2.0 applications with Ajax-based interactivity.

The fourth edition of PHP and MySQL Web Development has been thoroughly updated, revised, and expanded to cover developments in PHP 5 through version 5.3, such as namespaces and closures, as well as features introduced in MySQL 5.1.

Now more than ever, Windows applications have to work well and look good. Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Microsoft's new user interface framework, gives you the ability to create stunning graphics, rich interactions, and highly-usable Windows applications. WPF is the API beneath Windows Vista interfaces, and it's also available for older versions of Windows. Up to this point, it has only been possible to build WPF applications manually, mainly by hand-coding in XAML-WPF's declarative XML-based markup language. The soon-to-be-released Visual Studio 2008 provides the full set of developer tools you need to take advantage of this exciting technology.

The combination of WPF and Visual Studio 2008 represents the start of the next generation of Windows applications. Hand-coding XAML is fine if you're an early adopter, but to put WPF into production, you need to master the tools and application styles you'll use in your day job.

WPF In Action focuses on WPF development using Visual Studio 2008 and other available tools.. The book starts with thorough coverage of the basics-layouts, styles, resources, and themes. It then takes you through several real-world scenarios, exploring common challenges and application-types. You'll build several sample applications, ranging from a simple calculator to a typical line-of-business application. Along the way, you'll add graphical elements, animation, and support for printing, accessibility, and other standard functionality.

Written in a witty, engaging style, WPF In Action can be read cover-to-cover or used to reference specific problems and issues. The approach is practical and always focused on how you'll use WPF in real development scenarios. You'll learn how to handle the many new issues presented by the extreme flexibility of WPF. The authors also provide numerous tips and suggestions for how to work efficiently.

Web Development with JavaServer Pages

Amazon.com
Web Development with JavaServer Pages is truly an excellent and in-depth tutorial in the effective use of JSPs to build Web applications. Geared toward the Web designer or intermediate Java programmer who's making a transition to JSPs for the first time, this text contains a wealth of information on basic and advanced techniques.

This tutorial is as good as any that's available, and covers all of the necessary JSP directives and syntax. For each directive, possible attributes are listed in convenient tables, which makes this also a worthwhile reference to everyday JSP development that explores the nooks and crannies of JSP APIs, and how pages are built (and cached) on today's JSP platforms.

Web Development with JavaServer Pages also does a good job of showing how to design JavaBean components and integrate them into your JSPs through tags. (Ideally, beans should do the calculation and "thinking" on the middle tier, while JSPs work on the front end.) You'll learn the right way to proceed with JSPs and beans--reinforced via a number of effective code samples. A larger example, a Web database of frequently asked questions (FAQs), demonstrates the big picture with JSPs and beans. Final chapters turn toward a useful aspect of JSP, custom tags, which allow Java programmers to extend the set of available tags for JSP front-end designers. There's even a sample of interactive tags, in which tags work together with other tags, with sample code.

Filled with plenty of details that carry the reader well beyond the basics, this text is one of the better available tutorials for learning JSPs. Its no-nonsense presentation style and useful examples can help put JSP development into the hands of anyone who has some prior HTML or Java experience. --Richard Dragan

Topics covered:

* Overview of JavaServer Pages (JSPs)
* Server-side scripting languages, compared
* The advantages of Java servlets and JSPs
* Tutorial for basic JSP (tags and directives, expressions and scriptlets, flow control, and comments)
* JSP implicit objects, including request, response, and out
* Tutorial for simple JavaBean components
* The JSP useBean, setProperty, and getProperty tags
* Defining bean properties, including indexed properties
* Sample beans for JSPs
* Quick tutorial for JDBC and Java database programming
* Web application architecture using JSPs and beans

By: Jonathon Ortiz,&nbspMesbah Ahmed,&nbspChris Garrett
ISBN: 1928994512
Publication Date: (2001-12-15)
Pages: 736
Format: PDF

Aimed at the working ASP developer who wants to move to Microsoft .NET, ASP.NET Unleashed: Web Developers Guide offers an excellent example-based programming tutorial. With its strong practical focus, this title offers an excellent choice for learning ASP.NET quickly.
Most every computer book uses examples illustrating programming concepts, but this text does an exceptional job at efficiently presenting key examples that will be necessary for anyone moving from ASP to ASP.NET. After a brief tour of the history of ASP since version 1.0 and a quick overview of the advantages of ASP.NET, the author turns to essential APIs and programming strategies. Useful material here includes some valuable techniques for working with session and application objects (and new events available with these classes), plus a nicely comprehensive guide to all the XML configuration settings used in ASP.NET and what they're good for. A series of chapters on the built-in ASP.NET (and simpler HTML) server controls will give you a working vocabulary of basic Web programming techniques.
Later chapters explore specific areas of .NET functionality like ADO.NET, XML support (including a solid introduction to the often bewildering world of XML standards and the classes used to manipulate them in .NET). Coverage of Web services shows off this brand-new option for creating distributed Web applications.
This volume's final sections present three small, complete applications (for a guest book, shopping cart, and message board). Besides illustrating essential ASP.NET APIs and techniques introduced earlier on, the sample code can serve as a basis to add these features to your custom applications.
With such a large number of new ASP.NET APIs to master, this title strikes a great balance between describing essential APIs and real code that shows them at work. In all, its efficient format makes this title a perfect resource for busy working developers who want to get up to speed on the new ASP.NET fast.

organized entirely around concepts and use cases, providing greater
depth and readability. C# 3.0 introduces the most significant
enhancements yet to the programming language, and C# 3.0 in a Nutshell
delves deep into the subject while assuming minimal prior knowledge of
C#-making it accessible to anyone with a reasonable background in
programming. In addition to the language, the book covers the .NET CLR
and the core Framework assemblies, along with the unified querying
syntax called Language Integrated Query (LINQ), which bridges the
traditional divide between programs and their data sources.

Programming Collective Intelligence: Building Smart Web 2.0, Applications

Want to tap the power behind search rankings, product recommendations,
social bookmarking, and online matchmaking? This fascinating book
demonstrates how you can build Web 2.0 applications to mine the enormous
amount of data created by people on the Internet. With the sophisticated
algorithms in this book, you can write smart programs to access
interesting datasets from other web sites, collect data from users of
your own applications, and analyze and understand the data once you've
found it. Programming Collective Intelligence takes you into the world
of machine learning and statistics, and explains how to draw conclusions
about user experience, marketing, personal tastes, and human behavior in
general -- all from information that you and others collect every day.
Each algorithm is described clearly and concisely with code that can
immediately be used on your web site, blog, Wiki, or specialized
application. This book explains:

- Collaborative filtering techniques that enable online retailers to
recommend products or media
- Methods of clustering to detect groups of similar items in a large
dataset
- Search engine features -- crawlers, indexers, query engines, and the
PageRank algorithm
- Optimization algorithms that search millions of possible solutions
to a problem and choose the best one
- Bayesian filtering, used in spam filters for classifying documents
based on word types and other features
- Using decision trees not only to make predictions, but to model the
way decisions are made
- Predicting numerical values rather than classifications to build
price models
- Support vector machines to match people in online dating sites
- Non-negative matrix factorization to find the independent features
in a dataset
- Evolving intelligence for problem solving -- how a computer develops
its skill by improving its own code the more it plays a game Each
chapter includes exercises for extending the algorithms to make them
more powerful. Go beyond simple database-backed applications and put the
wealth of Internet data to work for you. "Bravo! I cannot think of a
better way for a developer to first learn these algorithms and methods,
nor can I think of a better way for me (an old AI dog) to reinvigorate
my knowledge of the details." -- Dan Russell, Google "Toby's book
does a great job of breaking down the complex subject matter of
machine-learning algorithms into practical, easy-to-understand examples
that can be directly applied to analysis of social interaction across
the Web today. If I had this book two years ago, it would have saved
precious time going down some fruitless paths." -- Tim Wolters, CTO,

Book Description
No matter how visually appealing or content-packed a Web site may be, if it's not adaptable to a variety of situations and reaching the widest possible audience, it isn't really succeeding. In Bulletproof Web Desing, author and Web designer extraordinaire, Dan Cederholm outlines standards-based strategies for building designs that provide flexibility, readability, and user control--key components of every sucessful site. Each chapter starts out with an example of an unbulletproof site one that employs a traditional HTML-based approach which Dan then deconstructs, pointing out its limitations. He then gives the site a make-over using XHTML and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), so you can see how to replace bloated code with lean markup and CSS for fast-loading sites that are accessible to all users. Finally, he covers several popular fluid and elastic-width layout techniques and pieces together all of the page components discussed in prior chapters into a single-page template.

Building a Data Warehouse: With Examples in SQL Server (Hardcover)

Building a Data Warehouse: With Examples in SQL Server describes how to
build a data warehouse completely from scratch and shows practical
examples on how to do it. Author Vincent Rainardi also describes some
practical issues he has experienced that developers are likely to
encounter in their first data warehousing project, along with solutions
and advice. The RDBMS used in the examples is SQL Server; the version
will not be an issue as long as the user has SQL Server 2005 or later.
The book is organized as follows. In the beginning of this book
(Chapters 1 through 6), you learn how to build a data warehouse, for
example, defining the architecture, understanding the methodology,
gathering the requirements, designing the data models, and creating the
databases. Then in Chapters 7 through 10, you learn how to populate the
data warehouse, for example, extracting from source systems, loading the
data stores, maintaining data quality, and utilizing the metadata. After
you populate the data warehouse, in Chapters 11 through 15, you explore
how to present data to users using reports and multidimensional
databases and how to use the data in the data warehouse for business
intelligence, customer relationship management, and other purposes.
Chapters 16 and 17 wrap up the book: After you have built your data
warehouse, before it can be released to production, you need to test it
thoroughly. After your application is in production, you need to
understand how to administer data warehouse operation.
What you'll learn:

- A detailed understanding of what it takes to build a data warehouse
- The implementation code in SQL Server to build the data warehouse
- Dimensional modeling, data extraction methods, data warehouse
loading, populating dimension and fact tables, data quality, data
warehouse architecture, and database design
- Practical data warehousing applications such as business
intelligence reports, analytics applications, and customer relationship
