Review The Fractal Structure of Data Reference:: Applications to the Memory Hierarchy (Advances in Database Systems) / Springer:The architectural concept of a memory hierarchy has been immensely successful, making possible today's spectacular pace of technology evolution in both the volume of data and the speed of data access. Its success is difficult to understand, however, when examined within the traditional "memoryless" framework of performance analysis. The `memoryless' framework cannot properly reflect a memory hierarchy's ability to take advantage of patterns of data use that are transient. The Fractal Structure of Data Reference: Applications to the Memory Hierarchy both introduces, and justifies empirically, an alternative modeling framework in which arrivals are driven by a statistically self-similar underlying process, and are transient in nature. The substance of this book comes from the ability of the model to impose a mathematically tractable structure on important problems involving the operation and performance of a memory hierarchy. It describes events as they play out at a wide range of time scales, from the operation of file buffers and storage control cache, to a statistical view of entire disk storage applications. Striking insights are obtained about how memory hierarchies work, and how to exploit them to best advantage. The emphasis is on the practical application of such results. The Fractal Structure of Data Reference: Applications to the Memory Hierarchy will be of interest to professionals working in the area of applied computer performance and capacity planning, particularly those with a focus on disk storage. The book is also an excellent reference for those interested in database and data structure research.

Review IronPython in Action / Manning Publications:In 2005, Microsoft quietly announced an initiative to bring dynamic languages to the. NET platform. The starting point for this project was a. NET implementation of Python, dubbed IronPython. After a couple years of incubation, IronPython is ready for real-world use. It blends the simplicity, elegance, and dynamism of Python with the power of the. NET framework. IronPython in Action offers a comprehensive, hands-on introduction to Microsoft's exciting new approach for programming the. NET framework. It approaches IronPython as a first class. [+]NET language, fully integrated with the. NET environment, Visual Studio, and even the open-source Mono implementation. You'll learn how IronPython can be embedded as a ready-made scripting language into C# and VB. NET programs, used for writing full applications or for web development with ASP. Even better, you'll see how IronPython works in Silverlight for client-side web programming. IronPython opens up exciting new possibilities. Because it's a dynamic language, it permits programming paradigms not easily available in VB and C#. In this book, authors Michael Foord and Christian Muirhead explore the world of functional programming, live introspection, dynamic typing and duck typing , metaprogramming, and more. IronPython in Action explores these topics with examples, making use of the Python interactive console to explore the. NET framework with live objects. The expert authors provide a complete introduction for programmers to both the Python language and the power of the. NET framework. The book also shows how to extend IronPython with C#, extending C# and VB. NET applications with Python, using IronPython with. NET 3. 0 and Powershell, IronPython as a Windows scripting tool, and much more.

Review PHP and MySQL Web Development (4th Edition) (Developer's Library) / Addison-Wesley Professional:PHP and MySQL are popular open-source technologies that are ideal for quickly developing database-driven Web applications. PHP is a powerful scripting language designed to enable developers to create highly featured Web applications quickly, and MySQL is a fast, reliable database that integrates well with PHP and is suited for dynamic Internet-based applications. PHP and MySQL Web Development shows how to use these tools together to produce effective, interactive Web applications. It clearly describes the basics of the PHP language, explains how to set up and work with a MySQL database, and then shows how to use PHP to interact with the database and the server. This practical, hands-on book includes numerous examples that demonstrate common tasks such as authenticating users, constructing a shopping cart, generating PDF documents and images dynamically, sending and managing email, facilitating user discussions, connecting to Web services using XML, and developing Web 2. 0 applications with Ajax-based interactivity. The fourth edition of PHP and MySQL Web Development has been thoroughly updated, revised, and expanded to cover developments in PHP 5 through version 5. 3, such as namespaces and closures, as well as features introduced in MySQL 5. 1. The PHP server-side scripting language and the MySQL database management system (DBMS) make a potent pair. [+]Both are open-source products-free of charge for most purposes-remarkably strong, and capable of handling all but the most enormous transaction loads. Both are supported by large, skilled, and enthusiastic communities of architects, programmers, and designers. PHP and MySQL Web Development introduces readers (who are assumed to have little or no experience with the title subjects) to PHP and MySQL for the purpose of creating dynamic Internet sites. It teaches the same skills as introductory Active Server Pages (ASP) and ColdFusion books-technologies that address the same niche. Authors Luke Welling and Laura Thomson's technique aims to get readers going on their own projects as soon as possible. They present easily digestible sections on specific technical processes-"Accessing array contents" and "Using encryption with PHP" are two examples. Each section centers on a sample program that strips the task at hand down to its essentials, enabling the reader to fit the process into his or her own solutions as required. Tables that list options and other nuggets of reference material appear as well, but the many examples and the authors' commentary on them take center stage. For reference material on MySQL, have a look at Paul DuBois's MySQL. On the PHP side, Web Application Development with PHP 4. 0 is excellent. -David Wall Topics covered: The MySQL database server (for both Unix and Windows) Accessing MySQL databases through PHP scripting (the letters don't really stand for anything) Database creation and modification PHP tricks in order of increasing complexity-everything from basic SQL queries to secure transactions for commerce Authentication Network connectivity Session management Content customization.

Review The Computer Image / Addison Wesley:Computer images are everywhere, occupying a dominant part of the computer culture and now rivaling their analogue cousin the TV image in popularity, a process bound to increase with the advent of digital TV. This book is about the computer image, emphasizing the 'how', but also addressing the 'whys' and 'wherefores' of this creation of the 20th century. Where did it come from? Where is it going? What is its importance? These questions cannot be answered without a knowledge of the technology itself, its past and its evolutionary forces. The three main fields of computer imagery - Computer graphics, image Processing and Computer vision - are merging in many applications. Computer Vision techniques are used in computer graphics to collect and model complex scenes; computer graphics techniques are used to constrain the recognition of 3D objects by computers; image processing techniques are routinely used by graphic designers to manipulate photographs. For the first time this textbook brings all three areas together in a coherent overview. Special features Unique breadth of coverage of subjects that have previously only appeared in separate texts. Novel treatment of the moving image, Virtual reality, medical imaging and computer art. Packaged with the book is a CD-ROM that provides implementations of many of the techniques described in the book. The CD-ROM contains scene files, animation demonstrations, a complete set of all the images used in the book and a suite of programs. [+]The software can be used for teaching, experimentation and the development of an application package. The source code is written in C++. The software includes a Z-buffer renderer, a distributed ray tracer, a radiosity renderer, an image processing module containing all the normal filtering facilities and transforms, morphing and warping software particle/elastic object simulation with collision detection, a progressive image compressor using wavelets (including a Java, ActiveX, OLE, 3DSMAX plugin), stereo and autostereogram generator, modeling software (including a Bezier modeller and a rnesh optimizer), computer vision software including depth from stereo, (low field estimation, object tracking and classification of satelliteimagery.
