Expert PHP and MySQL Application Design and Development

Pick up any of the many PHP/MySQL books in any large bookstore and you’ll find chapters on installing PHP, variables, statements, functions, string processing, arrays, objects, file handling, debugging, and, probably, a toy e-commerce site. Not this book! I assume you already know all that stuff, or can find it somewhere if you don’t. Instead, I tried to cover essential topics that I’ve n…

Enterprise Rails

It would be quite unusual for a person not trained as a surgeon to walk into a hospital operating room, ask a nurse for a scalpel, and start cutting. However, anyone—even those without computer science degrees—can walk into a bookstore, pick up a pro- gramming book, and start programming that afternoon. To build a website, you once needed to be adept in a number of languages and technologie…

The Agglomeration of the Animation Industry in East Asia

Given the dramatic advances in the transportation and information technologies that have allowed the world economy to globalize over the last few decades, experts have begun to speculate on whether the world is now “flat” (Friedman 2007) or perhaps “spiky” (Florida 2008). Previous thinkers supposed that globalization would lead to creative workers being drawn to specific cities and regi…

Microsoft® Business Intelligence FOR Dummies

It’s an old, tired joke among people in the armed services that “military intelligence is a contradiction in terms.” And yet, intelligence in the mili- tary sense — accurate, timely information that can help produce an effective strategy — is more important these days than ever before. As organizations continue to pursue their goals in an economy that seems more like a battle- field, …

Mathematics for Finance: An Introduction to Financial Engineering

True to its title, this book itself is an excellent financial investment. For the price of one volume it teaches two Nobel Prize winning theories, with plenty more included for good measure. How many undergraduate mathematics textbooks can boast such a claim? Building on mathematical models of bond and stock prices, these two theories lead in different directions: Black–Scholes arbitrage…

Building Internet Firewalls

In the five years since the first edition of this classic book was published, Internet use has exploded. The commercial world has rushed headlong into doing business on the Web, often without integrating sound security technologies and policies into their products and methods. The security risks - and the need to protect both business and personal data - have never been greater. We've updated B…

Transboundary River Basin Management: Addressing Water, Energy and Food Security

About 40 per cent of the world’s population lives in river basins that are shared by countries. These transboundary basins cover almost half of the Earth’s land surface and provide over 60 per cent of global freshwater flow. Transboundary river basin management is something that concerns many of us. Water, energy and food security are central elements for society. Having access to suffic…

Mapping Experiences

There is only one valid definition of business purpose: to create a customer. – Peter Drucker, in The Practice of Management (1954) People expect some benefit when they use the products and services an organization provides. They want to get some job done, solve a problem, or experience a particular emotion. If they then perceive this benefit valuable, they’ll give something in return –…

Building Hypermedia APIs with HTML5 and Node

This book’s primary focus is on designing hypermedia APIs. That may seem a bit strange to some readers. There are many books on programming languages, data stor- age systems, web frameworks, etc. This is not one of those books. Instead, this book covers the nature of the messages passed between client and server, and how to improve the content and value of those messages. I, personally, find …

Building Embedded Linux Systems

When the author of this book’s first edition, Karim Yaghmour, first suggested using Linux in an embedded system back in 1997 while working for a hardware manufacturer, his suggestion was met with a certain degree of skepticism and surprise. Today, Linux is either in use already or is being actively considered for most embedded systems. Indeed, many industry giants and government agencies are …

Ten years after: Revisiting the Asian Financial Crisis

The Asian financial crisis of 1997-98 is now seen as one of the most significant economic events in recent world history. The crisis began in early July 1997, when the Thai baht was floated, and spread into a virulent contagion—leaping from Thailand to South Korea, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia. It led to severe currency depreciations and an economic recession that threatened …
