1921. |  Programming Web Services with Perl By: Randy J. Ray; Pavel Kulchenko Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Publication Date: 19-DEC-2002 Insert Date: 05-APR-2003 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Programming Web Services with Perl
Given Perl's natural fit for web applications development, it's no
surprise that Perl is also a natural choice for web services
development. It's the most popular web programming language, with
strong implementations of both SOAP and XML-RPC, the leading ways
to distribute applications using web services. But books on web
services focus on writing these applications in Java or Visual
Basic, leaving Perl programmers with few resources to get them
started. Programming Web Services with Perl changes that,
bringing Perl users all the information they need to create web
services using their...

Mac OS X is a marvelous confluence of the user-friendly and highly
customizable Macintosh of yesteryear and the power and flexibility
of Unix under the hood. Those coming to Mac OS X from previous
incarnations of the operating system recognize much of the friendly
face of the Macintosh but they are also plunged into a whole new
world. Unix converts to Mac OS X find a familiar FreeBSD-like
operating system at the core and many of the command-line
applications that they're familiar with. This presents a unique
opportunity for combining traditional Unix hacking and Mac OS
know-how. Mac OS X...

The Linux success story is well known: firmly established as an
operating system in widespread use, its worldwide installations are
still increasing at phenomenal rates. Much of this success has been
on the server side, but more and more PC users are turning to Linux
on the desktop, as well. For those grounded in Microsoft Windows or
older versions of Apple's Macintosh OS, the first look at
Unix-style operating system can be daunting. Learning Red Hat
Linux provides a clear, no-nonsense introduction to the popular
Red Hat distribution of Linux. The third edition of Learning Red

1925. |  Java Extreme Programming Cookbook By: Eric M. Burke; Brian M. Coyner Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Publication Date: 11-MAR-2003 Insert Date: 29-MAR-2003 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Java Extreme Programming Cookbook
Extreme Programming does not mean programming naked while
rollerblading down the side of the Grand Canyon. It does mean a new
approach to software development that is both radical and
common-sense. Unlike many software development methodologies, XP
has been accepted quickly because its core practices--particularly
code sharing, test-first development, and continuous
integration--resonated immediately with software developers
everywhere. Instead of impressing developers with a body of theory,
XP got programmers to say, "Yeah, that's how I'd like to work."
Oddly enough, although most...

Reliable, flexible, and configurable enough to solve the mail
routing needs of any web site, sendmail has withstood the test of
time, but has become no less daunting in its complexity. Even the
most experienced system administrators have found it challenging to
configure and difficult to understand. For help in unraveling its
intricacies, sendmail administrators have turned unanimously to one
reliable source--the bat book, or sendmail by Bryan Costales
and the creator of sendmail, Eric Allman. Now in its third edition,
this best-selling reference will help you master the most...

As long as there's been a Web, people have been trying to make it
faster. The maturation of the Web has meant more users, more data,

particular. Web Performance Tuning, 2nd Edition is about
getting the best possible performance from the Web. This book isn't
just about tuning web server software; it's also about streamlining

The press has called Tekserve Corporation, the idiosyncratic
Macintosh repair store in New York City, "The Epicenter of Mac
Culture in NYC", "The leader in Apple triage services" and "warm
and eclectic - maybe even a little eccentric". Unfortunately, not
everyone can get down to Tekserve's West 23rd St location for the
clear, down-to-earth Mac troubleshooting advice that Tekserve's
owners dispense. For the rest of us, O'Reilly & Associates has
published the Macintosh Troubleshooting Pocket Guide

1931. |  By: Rob Flickenger Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Publication Date: 20-JAN-2003 Insert Date: 13-MAR-2003 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Linux Server Hacks
A competent system administrator knows that a Linux server is a
high performance system for routing large amounts of information
through a network connection. Setting up and maintaining a Linux
server requires understanding not only the hardware, but the ins
and outs of the Linux operating system along with its supporting
cast of utilities as well as layers of applications software.
There's basic documentation online but there's a lot beyond the
basics you have to know, and this only comes from people with
hands-on, real-world experience. This kind of "know how" is what we
sought to capture...

The Internet puts a wealth of information at your fingertips, and

research tool--a search engine that indexes more than 2.4 billion
web pages, in more than 30 languages, conducting more than 150
million searches a day. The more you know about Google, the better
you are at pulling data off the Web. You've got a cadre of
techniques up your sleeve--tricks you've learned from practice,
from exchanging ideas with others, and from plain old trial and

Elegant, sleek, powerful, and stable, Mac OS X has delighted many a
loyal Mac user, and gone one step further--it's turned them into
Unix users, too. Perhaps you're already familiar with Unix, just
not on the Mac. Or perhaps you opened your Utilities folder,
spotted the Terminal icon and double-clicked on it just to see what
it does. Suddenly faced with a command line interface, you probably
asked what does it mean, and the more pressing question, why on
earth would you ever want to venture into this seemingly
user-unfriendly territory? The new edition of Learning Unix for
Mac OS X answers...

to which the term "Linux" applies. The kernel handles all the
requests or completed I/O operations and determines which programs
will share its processing time, and in what order. Responsible for
the sophisticated memory management of the whole system, the Linux
kernel is the force behind the legendary Linux efficiency. The new
