Bash Cookbook: Solutions and Examples for bash Users

Product Description
The key to mastering any Unix system, especially Linux and Mac OS X, is a thorough knowledge of shell scripting. Scripting is a way to harness and customize the power of any Unix system, and it’s an essential skill for any Unix users, including system administrators and professional OS X developers. But beneath this simple promise lies a treacherous ocean of variations in Unix commands and standards.

“bash Cookbook” teaches shell scripting the way Unix masters practice the craft. It presents a variety of recipes and tricks for all levels of shell programmers so that anyone can become a proficient user of the most common Unix shell — the bash shell — and cygwin or other popular Unix emulation packages. Packed full of useful scripts, along with examples that explain how to create better scripts, this new cookbook gives professionals and power users everything they need to automate routine tasks and enable them to truly manage their systems — rather than have their systems manage them.

Delft Science in Design 2 - Volume 3 Research in Design Series

Delft Science in Design 2 - Volume 3 Research in Design Series

Delft Science in Design 2 - Volume 3 Research in Design Series

Product Description
The mission of the publication Delft Science in Design 2 is to promote and advance the exchange of lessons learned on design between university and industry. Also, it aims to amplify the visibility of the results of academic effort in design at Delft University. The questions ‘What is design?”, ‘What is engineering?’, ‘What is science?’ can be fiercely debated. Between the extremes of artistic design and pure science, the transitions are like in fluid: they are smooth and gradual.

An approach focusing on how the university deals with knowledge may provide a better entry to the debate. The mutual understanding between scientists from different disciplines may get lost. It is one of the two major objectives of the Delft Science in Design congress to offer a kaleidoscope of the activities of the various faculties to all university colleagues and students, so that staff and students can be made aware of activities in other laboratories, and have the opportunity to be informed on details. Being informed is the first step to understanding.

Saracen Strongholds AD 630-1050: The Middle East and Central Asia

In this book, author David Nicholle covers the methods of construction as well as the major parts of [the] fortresses … To help us visualize what some of these may have been like, Adam Hook has provided superlative illustrations of not only the physical layout, but also some of the action that took place at these locales … Overall, another fine book in this series.” -Scott Van Aken, modelingmadness.com (September 2008)

“As the Islamic Empire expanded, it drew upon a variety of earlier fortification styles: Romano-Byzantine, Indian and even Chinese. This book explains how these different themes were combined in Islamic fortifications… The book is authoritatively written and well illustrated.” -Bolling Smith, “Coast Defense Journal” (September 2008)
“The book details some of the best examples of Islamic military architecture in the Middle East…Of course, if you are looking for a good description of one of these sites or even a regional description, the book can be a useful resource.”-David Nicolle, “FORTRESS 76″ (July 2008)
“The Islamic world drew upon a myriad of pre-existing styles of fortication that was both new and distinctive. This book examines early Saracen fortifications, covering their historical background, socio-political circumstances, and their role in protecting the Islamic world.” -”Game Trade Magazine” (April 2008)
