mod_perl Developer's Cookbook
|
By Geoffrey Young

ASP.NET 1.1 Insider Solutions
|
By Alex Homer, David Sussman, Dan Kent, and Dan Wahlin
This is a series that is reserved for a few select authors. They must have countless hours spent with the technologies and have access to "Inside" information that the general public does not have. In this case the authors relationships with the ASP.NET development team at Microsoft and the time they've spent programming ASP.NET makes them excellent candidates for the Insider Solutions series. The goal of the book is not to teach the technology (what is control based programming, what are web controls etc. etc.) nor is it to be an all encompassing reference (listing all the properties, methods, events for individual controls or providing a reference to all the controls available, etc. etc.). The intent is to draw upon their experience and relate best practices, tips and tricks, workarounds, undocumented information and creative ways to use the technology to intermediate ASP.NET developers. ASP.NET Insider Solutions will provide modular coverage of various concerns when programming ASP.NET applications including coverage of application design, data management, displaying data, customizing and creating new controls, caching, state management, security, etc. etc. |
Microsoft Windows Server 2003, 2nd Edition
|
By Rand Morimoto et al
Since the release of Windows Server 2003, Microsoft has made many feature packs available that were not in the initial release, including Group Policy Management Console, Windows Resource Manager, File Replication Services, Terminal Services Feature Pack, Timewarp Client, Windows Sharepoint Services, Automatic Deployment Services, Active Directory in Application mode, Identity and Integration Services, Windows Right Management, Directory Services Mark-up Language, Microsoft Audit Collection Service, Security Configuration Wizard, and File Replication Services Monitor. This book is the second edition of the best seller Windows Server 2003 Unleashed. With Windows Server 2003 being released in April/2003 and the next release of Windows (codename Longhorn) not due out until 2005 / 2006, this second edition will keep the text viable with new updates to the core Windows 2003 code. There have not been changes to the released version of the server, but Microsoft has released approximately 15 features through the release of feature packs. The second edition covers these feature packs along with incorporating reader feedback to make the book an even stronger resource for the IT professional. |
PHP and MySQL Web Development, 3rd Edition
|
Luke Welling and Laura Thomson
We've taken the best and made it even better. The third edition of the best-selling PHP and MySQL Web Development has been updated to include material and code on MySQL 5, PHP 5 and PHPs object model and validation. Through a clear, practical approach, you will learn to develop secure, dynamic websites by integrating and implementing the PHP scripting language and the MySQL database system. Real-world examples and working sample projects will give you a strong foundation on which to start building your own websites, complete with features such as SSL, shopping carts and payment systems. The accompanying CD includes the source code from each example in the book, the entire book in PDF format, and source code and binaries for PHP 5, MySQL 5 and Apache. Some previous purchasers of PHP and MySQL Web Development call it the best technical book they've ever read, but don't take their word for it. Find out for yourself! |
Advanced PHP Programming
|
George Schlossnagle
Over the past three years PHP has evolved from being a niche language use to add dynamic functionality to small sites to a powerful tool making strong inroads into large-scale, business-critical Web systems. While there are many books on learning PHP and developing small applications with it, there is a serious lack of information on "scaling" PHP for large-scale, business-critical systems. Schlossnagle's Advanced PHP Programming fills that void, demonstrating that PHP is ready for enterprise Web applications by showing the reader how to develop PHP-based applications for maximum performance, stability, and extensibility. |
