Posted: 01 Sep 2009 07:09 PM PDT


In jQuery Essential Training, Microsoft professional Joe Marini presents the power of the jQuery library, an open-source JavaScript project that greatly simplifies the process of adding advanced functionality to web sites. Joe teaches how to use these new features to build pages that work across browsers with the functionality that today’s users (and clients) are looking for, from complex animation effects to dynamic page formatting. Joe pulls all of this together, showing how the jQuery UI plug-in can expand and streamline the capability of jQuery, and then integrating jQuery design tools into a complete sample web site. Exercise files accompany the course.

Selected Styles in Web-based Educational Research

Selected Styles in Web-based Educational Research

Product Description
Web-based teaching has become ubiquitous in education and training departments around the world. Yet, few believe the Web to be a total solution to education. Simple provision of software management tools does not guarantee continuous student collaboration. Also, the current status of online collaborative environments does not match the variety of interactions and discussion in a classroom, and self-paced learning has a long history of student attrition due to the huge motivational investment required on the part of the student. For these reasons, Selected Styles in Web-Based Educational Research targets a large contingent of knowledgeable skeptics for whom Web-based teaching and learning has become an object of study. It is intended for prospective Web teachers and trainers interested in conducting Web-based educational research, and helps define style in educational research methodology.

About the Author
Bruce L. Mann is a Professor of Education at Memorial University in Canada. Professor Mann has been a visiting researcher with the Faculty of Science at Memorial, the Department of Educational Psychology at McGill University in Canada, and with the School of Interactive Multimedia at Edith Cowan University in Australia. Professor Mann's studies of web course behavior and learning from multimedia speech prompting have been cited in many textbooks, international journals and conference presentations. His first book Perspectives in Web Course Management has earned him international recognition.

Data Model Patterns: A Metadata Map (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data Management Systems)

Data Model Patterns: A Metadata Map (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data Management Systems)

Product Description
In recent years, companies and government agencies have come to realize that the data they use represent a significant corporate resource, whose cost calls for management every bit as rigorous as the management of human resources, money, and capital equipment. With this realization has come recognition of the importance to integrate the data that has traditionally only been available from disparate sources. An important component of this integration is the management of the “metadata” that describe, catalogue, and provide access to the various forms of underlying business data. The “metadata repository” is essential keeping track both of the various physical components of these systems, but also their semantics. What do we mean by “customer?” Where can we find information about our customers?

After years of building enterprise models for the oil, pharmaceutical, banking, and other industries, Dave Hay has here not only developed a conceptual model of such a metadata repository, he has in fact created a true enterprise data model of the information technology industry itself.
