When our concerns shift from networked systems to networked enterprises, a whole lot of opportunities open up to interact with enterprise applications. Wh…

Praise for Self-Hypnosis and Subliminal Technology

Everybody has some character trait he or she would like to change, and there are many techniques available to facilitate these changes. Unfortunately, many of them are either impractical or expensive—or both! Most people are somewhat familiar with hypnosis and subliminal technology but are reluctant to use them as serious self-help tools. In large part this is due to the fact that they’ve b…

Selected Topics in Applications of Quantum Mechanics

Discussion of those questions and the struggle with the well-known paradoxes of quantum mechanics like decoherence and measurement problems is as old as the quantum mechanics itself. This was just the reason for the search of formulations of any of both theories in terms of concepts characteristic for the other one. It would be injustice to condemn or disqualify those attempts. They were fruitf…

Search Patterns

In astronomy, averted vision is the art of seeing distant objects by looking to their periphery. It works by shifting responsibility from cones, which sense color and fine detail, to rods, which detect motion and help us to juggle, play chess, and see in the dark. This form of peripheral vision can be practiced. Observers often report a gain of three to four magnitudes. It’s a powerful remind…

SAP Implementation

Implementing SAP has always been about transformation, or letting go of old ways of doing things in favor of something newer and better. Transformation goes beyond the incremental changes an organization might adopt as it seeks to change. Instead, transfor- mational change is synonymous with revolutionary, rather than evolutionary, change. It’s about turning the corner, getting over the hump,…

In the same way, I was anxious to realign and simplify this book in the way that Danielle Larocca, the origin…

R in a Nutshell

Today, R is maintained by a team of developers around the world. Usually, there is an official release of R twice a year, in April and in October. I’ve checked the code in this book against 2.15.1, but if you have an earlier or later version of R installed, don’t worry. R hasn’t changed that much in the past few years: usually there are some bug fixes, some optimizations, and a few new fu…

Project 2010 FOR Dummies

Project management probably started back when a few cave dwellers got together and figured out how to work as a team to bag a wooly mam- moth for their Sunday dinner. Some fellow — I’ll call him Ogg — probably took the lead as the very first project manager. He drew things in the dirt with a stick to help his team members understand the strategy of the hunt, and communicated with them in …

Programming Scala

Today’s enterprise and Internet applications must balance a number of concerns. They must be implemented quickly and reliably. New features must be added in short, incremental cycles.

Programming microsoft’s clouds

this book is intended for developers interested in learning more about how to develop against the set of Microsoft cloud services: Windows Azure and Office 365.

Programming Entity Framework: Code First

Microsoft’s ADO.NET Entity Framework, known widely as EF, introduced out-of-the- box Object Relational Mapping to .NET and Visual Studio. Central to Entity Frame- work was the Entity Data Model, a conceptual model of your application domain that maps back to the schema of your database. This conceptual model describes the core classes in your application. Entity Framework uses this conceptual…

Professional Silverlight® 4

to aBuse an already aBused cliché, we are at a tipping point for the Web and application devel- opment in general. The past several years have seen a notable shift away from basic full-page-based, postback-intensive web applications that minimized the use of JavaScript in favor of server-side code for maximum browser compatibility. Today, some amount of AJAX is assumed for any new web applicat…

Professional Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Programming

And so we begin anew. While the wait for SQL Server 2005 took a ghastly five years, Microsoft has blessed us (and, no, I’m not being sarcastic!) with SQL Server 2008 in just three short years. It probably shouldn’t be surprising to me that SQL Server 2008 comes up short in terms of marquee features — the flash and glitz stuff. Yet, what I am surprised by is just how many ‘‘little t…

Django), which have embraced the MVC (Model-View-Controller) application pattern, and if you’re one of those developers, or even if you’re just curious, this book is for you.

We’ll go into the ramifi cations of this later on, but if it had to be said it in a quick sentence: AS…

Pro XML Development with JavaTM Technology

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is based on simple, platform-independent rules for representing structured textual information. The platform-independent nature of XML makes it an ideal format for exchanging structured textual information among disparate applications.

Pro SharePoint 2010 Disaster Recovery and High Availability

I wrote this book to share what I have learned about high availability and disaster recovery for SharePoint at this point in time. It is certainly an interesting time. In the past 10 years, SharePoint has gone from a compiled application that just looked superficially like a web application into a more fully fledged cloud platform. The process is far from over, however, and SharePoint will like…
