Yasushi Kiyoki, Jaak Henno, Hannu Jaakkola, ” Information Modelling and Knowledge Bases XVII Volume 136 Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Applications”
IOS Press (February 1, 2006) | ISBN: 1586035916 | 350 pages | PDF | 6,4 Mb

Currently, the structural complexity of information resources, the variety of abstraction levels of information, and the size of databases and knowledge bases are continuously growing. We are facing the complex problems of structuring, sharing, managing, searching and mining data and knowledge from a large amount of complex information resources existing in databases and knowledge bases. New methodologies in many areas of information modelling and knowledge bases are expected to provide sophisticated and reliable solutions to these problems. The aim of this series of Information Modelling and Knowledge Bases is to provide research communities in information modelling and knowledge bases with scientific results and experiences achieved by using innovative methodologies in computer science and other disciplines related to linguistics, philosophy, and psychology. The selected papers cover many areas of information modelling, concept theories, database semantics, knowledge bases and systems, software engineering, WWW information managements, context-based information access spaces, ontological technology, image databases, temporal and spatial databases, document data managements, and many more.

Dierk Koenig, Andrew Glover, Paul King, Guillaume Laforge, Jon Skeet, “Groovy in Action”
Publisher: Manning Publications | Number Of Pages: 696 | 2007-01-17 | ISBN: 1932394842 | 9.75 MB
Groovy, the brand-new language for the Java platform, brings to Java many of the features that have made Ruby popular. Groovy in Action is a comprehensive guide to Groovy programming, introducing Java developers to the new dynamic features that Groovy provides. To bring you Groovy in Action, Manning again went to the source by working with a team of expert authors including both members and the Manager of the Groovy Project team. The result is the true definitive guide to the new Groovy language.

Groovy in Action introduces Groovy by example, presenting lots of reusable code while explaining the underlying concepts. Java developers new to Groovy find a smooth transition into the dynamic programming world. Groovy experts gain a solid reference that challenges them to explore Groovy deeply and creatively.

Because Groovy is so new, most readers will be learning it from scratch. Groovy in Action quickly moves through the Groovy basics, including:
# Simple and collective Groovy data types
# Working with Closures and Groovy Control Structures
# Dynamic Object Orientation, Groovy style

Readers are presented with rich and detailed examples illustrating Groovy’s enhancements to Java, including
# How to Work with Builders and the GDK
# Database programming with Groovy

Groovy in Action then demonstrates how to Integrate Groovy with XML, and provides,
# Tips and Tricks
# Unit Testing and Build Support
# Groovy on Windows

Jeffrey Allan Hardy, Cloves Carneiro Jr., Hampton Catlin, “Beginning Rails: From Novice to Professional”
Publisher: Apress | Number Of Pages: 361 | 2007-07-20 | ISBN: 1590596862 | 1.9 MB | PDF
Beginning Rails is the practical starting point for anyone wanting to learn how to build dynamic web applications using the Rails framework for Ruby. You’ll learn how all of the components of Rails fit together and how you can leverage them to create sophisticated web applications with less code and more joy. This book is particularly well suited to those with little or no experience with web application development, or who have some experience but are new to Rails. Beginning Rails assumes basic familiarity with web terms and technologies, but doesn’t require you to be an expert.

Topics include:

* A gentle introduction to the Ruby programming language
* Installing Ruby and Rails on a Mac, Linux, or Windows system
* The philosophy behind Rails and why it matters
* The Model-View-Controller architecture
* The basics of relational databases and SQL
* Setting up a MySQL database and creating a schema with migrations
* Experimenting with your live application in the Rails console
* Creating rich relationships between your models
* Using controllers and templates properly
* Leveraging helpers to keep your templates clean and logic free
* Adding Ajax and visual effects to enrich your user interfaces
* JavaScript with Prototype and script.aculo.us
* How to send and receive mail from your application
* Using and creating your own plug-ins
* Ensuring your code against Murphy’s Law through writing tests
* Using Capistrano to deploy your application

Rather than delving into the arcane details of Rails, the focus is on the aspects of the framework that will become your pick, shovel, and axe. Part history lesson, part introduction to object-oriented programming, and part dissertation on open source software, Beginning Rails doesn’t just explain how to do something in Rails, it explains why.

Every programmer fondly remembers the book that helped them get started. The goal of Beginning Rails is to become that book for you, today.

Shawn M. Lauriat, “Advanced Ajax: Architecture and Best Practices”
Publisher: Prentice Hall PTR | Pages: 384 | 2007-10-15 | ISBN: 0131350641 | PDF | 4 MB
“I very much enjoyed how this book covers the full Ajax application lifecycle and not only coding techniques. Anyone who is looking to become a professional front-end developer will appreciate the architectural insight and best practices delivered by this book.” — Andi Gutmans, Co-Founder & Co-Chief Technology Officer of Zend Technologies

Mission-Critical Ajax: Maximizing Scalability, Performance, Security, Reliability, and Maintainability

Advanced Ajax: Architecture and Best Practices is the definitive guide to building business-critical, production-quality Web applications with Ajax. Shawn M. Lauriat systematically addresses the design, architecture, and development issues associated with Ajax, offering proven patterns and robust code examples available in no other book. You’ll find best practices for addressing the full spectrum of issues enterprise Ajax developers face: scalability, performance, security, reliability, flexibility, maintainability, and reusability.

Writing for experienced Web developers, Lauriat delivers fresh ideas and elegant solutions: meaty technical content, presented with exceptional clarity. Among the many topics he covers in unprecedented depth: cleanly implementing JavaScript custom events to reduce coupling and to enhance flexibility; overcoming Ajax’s traditional accessibility limitations; reducing network latency through compression and other techniques; and much more. Coverage includes

* Planning Ajax interfaces for simplicity, clarity, and intuitiveness
* Creating scalable, maintainable architectures for client-side JavaScript
* Using the latest tools to profile, validate, and debug client-side code
* Architecting the server side for security and functionality, while restricting loaded data, objects, and actions to current requests
* Protecting against the most widespread and significant Ajax security risks
* Optimizing every component of an Ajax application, from server-side scripts to database interactions
* Introducing cutting-edge Ajax: game development, Ajax with canvas, and Ajax for enterprise applications
