ColdFusion Web Development with Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004

Product Description
ColdFusion MX Web Development with Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004: The Practical User’s Guide explores the great web development partnership between ColdFusion, a fantastically powerful but easy to learn server-side scripting language and Dreamweaver, Macromedia’s world-class visual web-authoring tool. Using Dreamweaver you can set up your ColdFusion website, connect it to your database, put together all the code for the pages, and style them too, with very little hassle. This book is ideal for all the Dreamweaver users who want to quickly get up to speed with the fundamentals of ColdFusion.


The book is heavily weighted with practical examples starting by teaching the basics of the ColdFusion language, we then go on to show how to use ColdFusion to perform tasks such as connecting to databases, decision making, reading XML, queries, and error handling. Later on, we touch upon advanced topics such as creating ColdFusion extensions, custom functions, and Flash remoting (using Dreamweaver MX as the IDE). The book culminates with a large case study showing how to put this stuff all together in a fully operational real world dynamic website, demonstrating common web applications such as a blog, a reviews page, and user registration/login functionality.

Using Samba

Using Samba

Using Samba

Samba, the Server Message Block (SMB) server software that makes it relatively easy to integrate Unix or Linux servers into networks of Microsoft Windows workstations, has to date been mostly explained as an afterthought. Most often, it’s appeared in the latter chapters of books about Linux. It deserves better, and the authors of Using Samba have delivered exactly that.

This book documents Samba 2.0.4 fully (version 2.0.5, source and binary, appears on the companion CD-ROM), focusing on smbd, nmbd, the command-line tools, and Samba’s newfound ability to integrate itself securely with Windows NT domains.

Though it includes a bit of information on the SMB and Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocols that underlie Samba, the emphasis here is on setting up and configuring software. Explicit sections explain how to install Samba on a Unix/Linux system and how to set up Microsoft clients to communicate with the Samba machine. The authors pay lavish attention to the Samba configuration file, smb.conf, and explain exactly what settings you need to include in it to allow disk shares, network browsing, and integration with Windows domains. A highly useful reference that lists all Samba configuration options (along with their valid values, default values, and explanations) appears in an appendix. –David Wall

Unified Modeling Language User Guide, The (2nd Edition) (The Addison-Wesley Object Technology Series)

Unified Modeling Language User Guide, The (2nd Edition) (The Addison-Wesley Object Technology Series)

Product Description
For nearly ten years, the Unified Modeling Language (UML) has been the industry standard for visualizing, specifying, constructing, and documenting the artifacts of a software-intensive system. As the de facto standard modeling language, the UML facilitates communication and reduces confusion among project stakeholders. The recent standardization of UML 2.0 has further extended the language’s scope and viability.

Its inherent expressiveness allows users to model everything from enterprise information systems and distributed Web-based applications to real-time embedded systems. In this eagerly anticipated revision of the best-selling and definitive guide to the use of the UML, the creators of the language provide a tutorial to its core aspects in a two-color format designed to facilitate learning. Starting with an overview of the UML, the book explains the language gradually by introducing a few concepts and notations in each chapter. It also illustrates the application of the UML to complex modeling problems across a variety of application domains. The in-depth coverage and example-driven approach that made the first edition of The Unified Modeling Language User Guide an indispensable resource remain unchanged. However, content has been thoroughly updated to reflect changes to notation and usage required by UML 2.0. Highlights include: *A new chapter on components and internal structure, including significant new capabilities for building encapsulated designs *New details and updated coverage of provided and required interfaces, collaborations, and UML profiles *Additions and changes to discussions of sequence diagrams, activity diagrams, and more *Coverage of many other changes introduced by the UML 2.0 specification With this essential guide, you will quickly get up to speed on the latest features of the industry standard modeling language and be able to apply them to your next software project.

Test Driving Linux: From Windows to Linux in 60 Seconds

Product Description
For years, computer users have put up with the bugs, security holes, and viruses on Windows because they had no choice. Until recently, there has never been a good alternative to Windows. But now, Windows users can switch to Linux, the reliable, secure, and spyware free operating system. Linux is easy to use, runs on almost any PC, and enables you to perform all the tasks you can do with Windows.

Getting to know Linux has never been easier, because now there’s a way to test-drive Linux without changing, installing, or configuring a thing on your computer. It’s called Test Driving Linux: From Windows to Linux in 60 Seconds. This latest release from O’Reilly comes with a Live CD called Move, that allows Windows users to try all the features of Mandrake Linux, a popular Linux distribution without the hassle of actually installing Linux. Users simply place the Move CD into their CD drive, boot from the disc, then watch an entire Mandrake system run on the fly from the CD-ROM. Test Driving Linux: From Windows to Linux in 60 Seconds is a detailed step-by-step guide to the Linux operating system and several popular open source programs. With this guide you can quickly learn how to use Linux to perform the tasks you do most: surf the web, send and receive email, instant message with friends, write letters, create spreadsheets, and even how to enhance your digital photos.

 Cost Containment and Efficiency in National Health Systems: A Global Comparison

Cost Containment and Efficiency in National Health Systems: A Global Comparison

Product Description
Written by a local health economics expert, each of the eight chapters in this timely handbook and ready reference describes the national healthcare system of a different industrialized country. In each case, the 4-5 specific policies with the highest impact on that respective country over the past 20-30 years are identified. In addition, the economic characteristics of each policy are described and, where possible, its success evaluated, discussing the current policy agenda.

A final chapter summarizes and synthesizes the major points of the analysis. While the main focus is on economics, this guide is written in non-technical language for an audience of health policy decision makers or students of health policy, making it an invaluable contribution to the current debate surrounding the control of rising healthcare-related costs in the developed world.

Ribbon Culture: Charity, Compassion and Public Awareness

Product Description

Ribbon Culture explores the history, meaning, and sociological implications of the popular practice of ’showing awareness’. The book suggests that we see the rise of awareness campaigns in terms of a growing interest in personal displays of compassion in a cultural climate where empathy has become a by-word for authenticity. Not only this, but Ribbon Culture highlights charities’ use of slick awareness campaigns to ‘reach’ their target-audience and explores the repercussions of the transformation of charity into a commercial enterprise.
