Pages
Preventing Childhood Obesity: Health In The Balance examines the modern crisis
in children's health issues: childhood obesity. Not only are the environmental,
social, medical and historic factors influencing children's weight considered
over the long term, but a prevention program identifies the best of short- and
long-term interventions and how adults can guide kids away from common pitfalls.
Recommendations range from mobilizing parents to making national health a
priority overall.

Data Analysis in Molecular Biology and Evolution introduces biologists to
DAMBE, a proprietary, user-friendly computer program for molecular data
analysis. The unique combination of this book and software will allow biologists
not only to understand the rationale behind a variety of computational tools in
molecular biology and evolution, but also to gain instant access to these tools
for use in their laboratories.
Data Analysis in Molecular Biology and Evolution serves as an excellent resource
for advanced level undergraduates or graduates as well as for professionals
working in the field.

Pages
JavaTech is a practical introduction to the Java programming language with an
emphasis on the features that benefit technical computing. After presenting the
basics of object-oriented programming in Java, it examines introductory topics
such as graphical interfaces and thread processes. It goes on to review network
programming and develops Web client-server examples for tasks such as monitoring
remote devices. The focus then shifts to distributed computing with RMI.
Finally, it examines how Java programs can access the local platform and
interact with hardware.

Mark Sportack, "IP Addressing Fundamentals"
Cisco Press | ISBN 1587050676 | 2002 Year | CHM | 1,63 Mb | 368 Pages
The reader-friendly explanation of how the IP address space works and how it
is used
A reader-friendly introduction to the complex and confusing topic of IP
addressing
Thorough and understandable explanations of the binary mathematics behind IP
addressing
Complete coverage of the IPv4 address space without distractions of routing or
transport protocols
Detailed explanations of subnetting and supernetting, Variable Length Subnet
Masks (VLSMs), CIDR, NAT, portable address spaces, and IPv6
Strategies for managing an address space for enterprise WANs, data centers, and
ISPs
Numerous examples and an easy-to-read style of writing that imparts a profound
understanding of IP addressing
The Internet Protocol (IP) is the native protocol suite of the Internet and has
become predominant in virtually all networks and internetworks. Managing an IP
address space requires a solid command of binary mathematics, particularly as it
is applied within the IP addressing architecture. The mathematics of the IP
address space, however, are not intuitive and can be very difficult to grasp.
Consequently, learning about IP addressing can be a lot like trying to piece
together a jigsaw puzzle-but without knowing what the puzzle is supposed to look
like.
IP Addressing Fundamentals explains simply and clearly how the IP address space
works and how it is used. This is a reader-friendly book that details the
fundamentals of the IP address space from the ground up. IP Addressing
Fundamentals unravels the mysteries of subnetting, supernetting, and CIDR;
thoroughly explains the binary mathematics of IPv4's addressing space; and
demonstrates how an IP address becomes an active component in both networks and
internetworks. Author Mark Sportack prepares you for real-world success by
walking you through some of the issues and traps that lie in wait for anyone who
needs to plan or manage the use of an IP address space. Most importantly, this
book doesn't presume you already know what the entire IP addressing puzzle looks
like.
IP Addressing Fundamentals imparts a profound command of IP addressing through a
clear and concise writing style. Basics are reinforced with detailed information
and numerous examples of how the concepts work. This book builds upon concepts
presented in earlier chapters and concludes with fairly advanced topics that
will become increasingly useful to midlevel network engineers.
After reading IP Addressing Fundamentals, you'll finally understand IP
addressing and appreciate both its mechanics and relevance, and you'll know how
to efficiently apply your new knowledge.
Karl Fogel, "Producing Open Source Software"
O'Reilly | ISBN 0596007590 | 2005 Year | CHM | 0,63 Mb | 302 Pages
The corporate market is now embracing free, "open source" software like never
before, as evidenced by the recent success of the technologies underlying LAMP
(Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP). Each is the result of a publicly collaborative
process among numerous developers who volunteer their time and energy to create
better software.
The truth is, however, that the overwhelming majority of free software projects
fail. To help you beat the odds, O'Reilly has put together Producing Open Source
Software, a guide that recommends tried and true steps to help free software
developers work together toward a common goal. Not just for developers who are
considering starting their own free software project, this book will also help
those who want to participate in the process at any level.
The book tackles this very complex topic by distilling it down into easily
understandable parts. Starting with the basics of project management, it details
specific tools used in free software projects, including version control, IRC,
bug tracking, and Wikis. Author Karl Fogel, known for his work on CVS and
Subversion, offers practical advice on how to set up and use a range of tools in
combination with open mailing lists and archives. He also provides several
chapters on the essentials of recruiting and motivating developers, as well as
how to gain much-needed publicity for your project.
While managing a team of enthusiastic developers -- most of whom you've never
even met -- can be challenging, it can also be fun. Producing Open Source
Software takes this into account, too, as it speaks of the sheer pleasure to be
had from working with a motivated team of free software developers.
