Blog and wiki server internals are covered in depth, and newsfeed formats and web service protocols for blogging are covered from a developer's point-of-view. Also covered are a variety of techiques programmers can use to monitor blog conversations, such as newsfeed search engines, and ways to join in the conversation such as comments, trackbacks, and Weblogs.com pings. Examples in Java and C# are provided to show how to parse Atom and RSS format newsfeeds, how to generate valid newsfeeds, how to serve them efficiently, and how to automate blogging via web services based on the new Atom protocol and the older MetaWeblog API. Focus is given to more than a dozen blog apps—small but immediately useful example applications based on blog, wiki, and newsfeed technologies.Manning PublicationsDave JohnsonWeb DevelopmentJuly 31, 2006http://safari.quepublishing.com/9780596517960"Clear, correct, and deep, this is a welcome addition to discussions of law and computing for anyone -- even lawyers!" -- Lawrence Lessig, Professor of Law at Stanford Law School and founder of the Stanford Center for Internet and Society If you work in information technology, intellectual property is central to your job -- but dealing with the complexities of the legal system can be mind-boggling. This book is for anyone who wants to understand how the legal system deals with intellectual property rights for code and other content. You'll get a clear look at intellectual property issues from a developer's point of view, including practical advice about situations you're likely to encounter. Written by an intellectual property attorney who is also a programmer, Intellectual Property and Open Source helps you understand patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and licenses, with special focus on the issues surrounding open source development and the GPL. This book answers questions such as: How do open source and intellectual property work together?What are the most important intellectual property-related issues when starting a business or open source project?How should you handle copyright, licensing and other issues when accepting a patch from another developer?How can you pursue your own ideas while working for someone else?What parts of a patent should be reviewed to see if it applies to your work?When is your idea a trade secret?How can you reverse engineer a product without getting into trouble?What should you think about when choosing an open source license for your project? Most legal sources are too scattered, too arcane, and too hard to read. Intellectual Property and Open Source is a friendly, easy-to-follow overview of the law that programmers, system administrators, graphic designers, and many others will find essential.O'ReillyVan LindbergSafari IT BooksJuly 17, 2008http://safari.quepublishing.com/9780470132319Though many consumers know the basics of using Excel, few users understand the powerful capabilities of the PivotTable and PivotChart features. These tools can help turn long lists of unreadable data into dynamically generated, easy-to-read tables and charts that highlight useful and pertinent business information. Companies rely on this type of data from marketing, accounting, and finance to help make better decisions about products, sales and even human resources. Charts are interactive, allowing the consumer to tweak results with the click of a mouse and PivotTables allow you to fuse data from several sources into one document. This book shows users how to work with PivotTables and PivotCharts to make sense of their data. It covers features such as: understanding PivotTable benefits and uses; creating and customizing PivotTables; using PivotTables to analyze business data; building custom calculations; linking to external data sources, including Access databases, Word tables, Web pages, XML data, SQL Server databases, and OLAP cubes; publishing PivotTables to the Web; multiple consolidation of data, for example, summarizing annual fiscal data by quarters; preparing financial reporting, budgeting, and data analysis across departments; and using VBA to create macros that automate frequently used PivotTable tasks.John Wiley & Sons McFedries, Paul, Web Developer ExcelNovember 05, 2007http://safari.quepublishing.com/9780470118054* Ninety percent of the world's PCs run Windows, making Vista a prime target for malicious hackers * Helps readers get the most out of new Vista security features by detailing the vulnerabilities that have already been found in Vista and explains how to combat potential problems * Identifies possible threats brought on by the millions of lines of brand-new code in the operating system and risky new features, including IPv6 and peer-to-peer support * Covers the Windows Security Center, rights management, BitLocker, Web security, and much moreJohn Wiley & Sons Koerner, Brian SecurityNovember 12, 2007http://safari.quepublishing.com/9780136068655Some companies can't change in response to market disruptions. Those companies die. Other companies do respond, but only after the fact. They survive, but they see their profits squeezed, their growth flatten. Then, there are the long-term winners: companies that create their own market disruptions and thrive on the change. In Create Marketplace Disruption, Adam Hartung shows how to become one of those rare companies, creating lasting growth and lasting profits. Hartung reveals why so many companies behave in ways that are utterly incompatible with long-term success... and why even "good to great" companies are struggling for air. You'll discover how to reposition your organization away from the "flats and swamps" of traditional "Defend and Extend Management" and back into the "rapids" of accelerated growth. Hartung uncovers the deep implications of today's dynamic markets and shorter cycle times, and shows how to make planning an "outside-in" activity (or, in his words, "Don't try to think outside the box. Get outside the box. Then, think." Next, he demonstrates how to attack competitors' "lock-ins," make their success formulas obsolete, and create the "white space" you need to invent your own new formulas for success. This book offers the first start-to-finish process for disrupting markets and reaping the benefits: a process that executives and strategists can reproduce over and over again.FT PressAdam HartungStrategyJuly 31, 2008http://safari.quepublishing.com/9780975240298Build Your Own Website The Right Way Using HTML & CSS teaches web development from scratch, without assuming any previous knowledge of HTML, CSS or web development techniques. This book introduces you to HTML and CSS as you follow along with the author, step-by-step, to build a fully functional web site from the ground up. However, unlike countless other "learn web design" books, this title concentrates on modern, best-practice techniques from the very beginning, which means you'll get it right the first time. The web sites you'll build will:Look good on a PC, Mac or Linux computerRender correctly whether your visitors are using Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, or SafariUse web standards so your sites will be fast loading and easy to maintainBe accessible to disabled users who use screenreaders to browse the WebBy the end of the book, you'll be equipped with enough knowledge to set out on your first projects as a professional web developer, or you can simply use the knowledge you've gained to create attractive, functional, usable and accessible sites for personal use.SitepointIan LloydSafari IT BooksMay 2, 2006http://safari.quepublishing.com/9780980455205Want to learn all about Ruby on Rails 2.0, the web application framework that is inspiring developers around the world?
