Computer Systems Design and Architectureby Vincent P. Heuring, Harry F. JordanISBN 0130484407 (0-13-048440-7)
Hardcover, Prentice Hall
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Computer Systems Design and Architecture'Book summary:The authors take a No Mysteries approach to computer systems. They interrelate three different viewpoints to provide a unique understanding of the subject: the perspective of the logic designer, the assembly language programmer, and the computer architect. The book has up-to-the-minute coverage of the latest developments in microprocessors, including ALU, pipelining, memory hierarchy, networks and the Internet. And, rather than focusing on a single type of architecture, Heuring and Jordan examine both CISC and RISC models at the ISA level using the unambiguous language of RTN (Register Transfer Notation), allowing for a more in-depth appreciation of different machine structures and functions. The authors examine general purpose machine, machine languages, and digital logic, some real machines, processor design, processor designadvanced topics, computer arithmetic and the arithmetic unit, memory system design, input and output, peripheral devices, communications, networking and the Internet. For computer science and engineering professionals.

Core J2Ee Patterns: Best Practices and Design Strategiesby John Crupi, Dan Malks, Deepak AlurISBN 0130648841 (0-13-064884-1)
Softcover, Prentice Hall Ptr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Core J2Ee Patterns: Best Practices and Design Strategies'Book summary:Patterns are basically design solutions for recurring problems, so Core J2EE Patterns are recurring design solutions for those using J2EE. The authors break these down into presentation, business and integration patterns.
As is usual with pattern books you won't find much code here. The book majors on problem discussions, analysis of the factors you should consider in your design and strategies for the solution implementation.
The authors constantly encourage abstraction, code modularity, non-duplication of code, network efficiency, code maintainability and solution reusability.
While these are the aims we've been encouraged to pursue for years too many pattern books operate at such a high theoretical level they fail to appeal to working programmers. In practice, you could use the patterns discussed with any language but by concentrating on using Java Core J2EE Patterns is able to take a more hands-on approach.
OK, you won't find detail at the level of APIs here, but you will find discussion of where to implement functionality to best leverage Java's architecture and which Java mechanisms to use: for example, implementing entity beans as coarse-grained--rather than fine-grained--objects to reduce the transaction overhead. Not the sort of implementation advice you'll find in language-agnostic pattern books.
Core J2EE Patterns enables you to dramatically cut the design time on enterprise level Java based projects while increasing the likelihood that the project will reach a timely fruition. --Steve Patient [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Essential Guide to Computing'Book summary:Lots of circumstances conspired to make information technology what it is today. Business decisions (both wise and foolish), scientific discoveries (old and recent), marketing campaigns (founded in truth and otherwise), and plenty of random chance have played parts in defining the industrial, social and cultural phenomena that personal and business computing have become.
The Essential Guide to Computing: The Story of Information Technology tells the technical, commercial and social story behind the electronic computer and related technologies, such as telecommunications and software development. Along the way, author E. Garrison Walters reveals a lot of general knowledge about computers.
As you read this book, you can't avoid picking up the little technical facts that have become part of our culture, particularly its younger parts. What's an embedded operating system? What's object-oriented programming? What is the open-source movement? Walters teaches you enough about these subjects--and the ways they fit together--to enable you to speak intelligently about them and perform further research as your needs require.
You will enjoy this book regardless of your level of computer expertise or your area of specialisation. It's essentially a general-interest non-fiction book, and a good one at that. --David Wall [via]

Just XMLby John E. SimpsonISBN 013018554X (0-13-018554-X)
Softcover, Prentice Hall PTR
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Just XML'Book summary:Just XML isn't a book meant for die-hard programmers who are hell-bent on using XML--it's a book that explains the whys and wherefores of XML's design, and what one might use it for. But then again, if you're just starting to learn XML, you're going to need this anyway.
The eternal problem is that there really aren't a lot of browsers that interpret XML and even for those that do, there are vast differences. And this presents a lot of challenges for the XML book writer--how do you explain a technology that, in many ways, isn't quite done yet? Enter Just XML.
Unlike most programming guide authors, John Simpson is extremely chatty and spends a lot of his time walking you through the concepts behind XML. With good, clean writing, Simpson is extremely good at anticipating the questions a novice might have.
But the book has some fairly annoying flaws. For one thing, the organisation's a little backwards--Simpson sometimes spends more time explaining why things work than what they are supposed to be doing. If you are not sure why you'd want to use a particular XML feature at this point in the document, you might get baffled. And the very informal nature of this book is sure to annoy serious programmers who just want the facts.
But when it comes down to it, the XSLT chapter is golden, the explanations are as good as they are going to get for a kind of vague topic, and frankly, I'd recommend it to anybody who needs an idea of what XML is for and what it can do. But once you get that down, you will probably need another set of XML tutorials to nail down your XML syntax knowledge. --William Steinmetz [via]

Uml and C: A Practical Guide to Objectoriented Developmentby Richard Lee, William M. TepfenhartISBN 0130290408 (0-13-029040-8)
Softcover, Prentice Hall
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Uml and C: A Practical Guide to Objectoriented Development'Book summary:Written by two researchers at Lucent Technologies' prestigious Bell Labs, UML and C++: A Practical Guide to Object-Oriented Development is a thorough guide to object-oriented design using C++. This text uses the Unified Modeling Language (UML) for all diagrams (though an overview of UML isn't included).
The book begins with a critique of today's software (which is expensive and often delivered behind schedule). The authors tour the history of software engineering, from early structured analysis to object-oriented techniques. Several sections of this book cover the ins and outs of defining objects, including identifying each object's responsibilities, static, and dynamic behavior (where the UML statechart, collaboration, and use case diagrams are used to document its behavior and iterations.)
Interestingly, the authors introduce the notion of "rules"--code executed with events--used with C++. (One of the authors has even developed a language enhanced with rules for C++ called R++.) The remainder of the book looks at how to design and implement objects, specifically in C++. The case study is a Breakout type of video game. Though not especially concerned with the details of UML, there's some considerable C++ expertise on display in this intelligently written title. --Richard Dragan [via]

Usability Engineeringby Jakob NielsenISBN 0125184069 (0-12-518406-9)
Softcover, Morgan Kaufmann Pub
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Usability Engineering'Book summary:An authoritative text by one of the premier researchers in usability engineering in the 1990s, Jakob Nielsen's Usability Engineering provides a landmark guide to software design that has helped bring this area of research into the mainstream of computing. "Usability" is the measurement of how easy or difficult it is to be productive with a piece of software. It often looks at the user interface--what elements appear onscreen and how efficient, confusing, and/or intuitive they are for beginning, intermediate, and advanced users. "Usability engineering" is the formal study of usability. It grew out of research on human factors, which looked at the way people interact with their environment.
The best thing about this book is its concise, cut-to-the-chase approach when defining usability and ways to measure and improve it. As the author notes, in the old days of computing, documents that attempted to define usability might have over 1,000 rules. The author offers just a handful of guiding principles for creating better software that apply even today. (Published just before the Internet revolution, this book's principles still hold true for Web designers, as well as those who create more traditional applications.)
Throughout this text, the author argues for the benefits of improved software usability. With software use as with all things, time is money and making more efficient interfaces translates into lower personnel costs and more productivity. The book also does a fine job of integrating usability design into the software development process, with guides for planning, working with end users, and running tests with users (whether on videotape or in person). The 50-page bibliography attests to the author's previous research on usability.
For anyone who needs to create better, more efficient software, Usability Engineering can help. This clear and intelligent guide to the science of usability engineering has helped enhance the potential of computers to work with end users more efficiently. In the new century, software developers will undoubtedly seek new advances in usability, in part because of the groundwork laid by books like this one. --Richard Dragan
Topics covered: Usability basics, measuring usability, types of users, history of user interfaces, the usability engineering lifecycle, design techniques, heuristics and hints for improving usability, testing, managing user tests, assessing usability, interface standards, internationalization, and Computer-Aided Usability Engineering (CAUSE) tools.
