Mono (Developer’s Notebook) Posted: 18 Jun 2009 05:02 PM PDT Mono (Developer's Notebook) Product Description The Mono Project is the much talked-about open source initiative to create a Unix implementation of Microsoft’s .NET Development Framework. Its purpose is to allow Unix developers to build and deploy cross-platform .NET applications. The project has also sparked interest in developing components, libraries and frameworks with C#, the programming language of .NET. The controversy? Some say Mono will become the preferred platform for Linux development, empowering Linux/Unix developers. Others say it will allow Microsoft to embrace, extend, and extinguish Linux. The controversy rages on, but–like many developers–maybe you’ve had enough talk and want to see what Mono is really all about. There’s one way to find out: roll up your sleeves, get to work, and see what Mono can do. How do you start? You can research Mono at length. You can play around with it, hoping to figure things out for yourself. Or, you can get straight to work with Mono: A Developer’s Notebook–a hands-on guide and your trusty lab partner as you explore Mono 1.0. Light on theory and long on practical application, Mono: A Developer’s Notebook bypasses the talk and theory, and jumps right into Mono 1.0. Diving quickly into a rapid tour of Mono, you’ll work through nearly fifty mini-projects that will introduce you to the most important and compelling aspects of the 1.0 release. Using the task-oriented format of this new series, you’ll learn how to acquire, install, and run Mono on Linux, Windows, or Mac OS X. You’ll work with the various Mono components: the Common Language Runtime, the class libraries (both .NET and Mono-provided class libraries), and the Mono C# compiler. No other resource will take you so deeply into Mono so quickly or show you as effectively what Mono is capable of. The new Developer’s Notebooks series from O’Reilly covers important new tools for software developers. Emphasizing example over explanation and practice over theory, they focus on learning by doing–you’ll get the goods straight from the masters, in an informal and code-intensive style that suits developers. If you’ve been curious about Mono, but haven’t known where to start, this no-fluff, lab-style guide is the solution. download

Integrated Graphic and Computer Modelling Posted: 18 Jun 2009 04:55 PM PDT Integrated Graphic and Computer Modelling Computer languages and computer graphics have become the primary modes of human-computer interaction. This book provides a basic introduction to “Real and Virtual Environment” computer modelling. Graphics models are used to illustrate both the way computer languages are processed and also used to create computer models of graphic displays. Computer languages have been bootstrapped from machine code, to high-level languages such as Java, to animation scripting languages. Integrating graphic and computer models takes this support for programming, design and simulation work, one step further, allowing interactive computer graphic displays to be used to construct computer models of both real and virtual environment systems. The Java language is used to implement basic algorithms for language translation, and to generate graphic displays. It is also used to simulate the behaviour of a computer system, to explore the way programming and design-simulation environments can be put together. download

Aspect-Oriented Analysis and Design: The Theme Approach Posted: 18 Jun 2009 04:52 PM PDT Aspect-Oriented Analysis and Design: The Theme Approach Product Description Aspect-oriented software development is emerging as a proven approach for allowing the separate expression of multiple concerns, along with “weaving” technologies for knitting together these separate expressions into coherent systems. In other words, it offers great promise as an approach to simplifying the development of complex modern software systems. Many expert observers view AOSD as a worthwhile successor to the popular object-oriented paradigm that is prevalent in contemporary software engineering. In this new book, AOSD experts Clarke and Baniassad apply proven theory to the practical realm of real-world development. The result is an applicable and easy-to-digest methodology for simplifying and optimizing the development of thoroughly modern software systems. download

Software Security: Building Security In Posted: 18 Jun 2009 04:50 PM PDT Software Security: Building Security In Product Description This is the Mobipocket version of the print book. “When it comes to software security, the devil is in the details. This book tackles the details.” –Bruce Schneier, CTO and founder, Counterpane, and author of Beyond Fear and Secrets and Lies “McGraw’s book shows you how to make the ‘culture of security’ part of your development lifecycle.” –Howard A. Schmidt, Former White House Cyber Security Advisor “McGraw is leading the charge in software security. His advice is as straightforward as it is actionable. If your business relies on software (and whose doesn’t), buy this book and post it up on the lunchroom wall.” –Avi Rubin, Director of the NSF ACCURATE Center; Professor, Johns Hopkins University; and coauthor of Firewalls and Internet Security Beginning where the best-selling book Building Secure Software left off, Software Security teaches you how to put software security into practice.The software security best practices, or touchpoints, described in this book have their basis in good software engineering and involve explicitly pondering security throughout the software development lifecycle.This means knowing and understanding common risks (including implementation bugsand architectural flaws), designing for security, and subjecting all software artifacts to thorough, objective risk analyses and testing. Software Security is about putting the touchpoints to work for you. Because you can apply these touchpoints to the software artifacts you already produce as you develop software, you can adopt this book’s methods without radically changing the way you work. Inside you’ll find detailed explanations of *Risk management frameworks and processes *Code review using static analysis tools *Architectural risk analysis *Penetration testing *Security testing *Abuse case development In addition to the touchpoints, Software Security covers knowledge management, training and awareness, and enterprise-level software security programs. Now that the world agrees that software security is central to computer security, it is time to put philosophy into practice. Create your own secure development lifecycle by enhancing your existing software development lifecycle with the touchpoints described in this book.Let this expert author show you how to build more secure software by building security in. download
