Actionscript: The Definitive Guideby Colin MoockISBN 1565928520 (1-56592-852-0)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Actionscript: The Definitive Guide'Book summary:Macromedia Flash is the obvious choice for delivering multimedia over the Web. At the heart of Flash's power is ActionScript, the product's powerful object-oriented scripting language. ActionScript is based on JavaScript, making it easy for Web developers new to Flash to get up to speed. ActionScript: The Definitive Guide is a tutorial and reference to ActionScript that meets the needs of both new Flash developers learning the language and experienced coders who need a daily reference.
Author Colin Moock starts off with a primer to Flash terminology and a quick example application--an interactive quiz. Following that, the book quickly gets down to ActionScript nuts and bolts. The first part covers the basics of the language, such as operators, variable scope, and conditional logic, in a traditional presentation. A few lines of example code illustrate each concept.
Critical topics like arrays, movie clips, and object-oriented programming are covered well at the detail level, though a more extensive example application would really have come in handy to illustrate the big picture. The back of the book contains an excellent reference to the ActionScript language, complete with inline example code. ActionScript is an important tool to master, and ActionScript: The Definitive Guide is a fine means to that end. --Stephen W. Plain [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Against the Machine: The Hidden Luddite Tradition in Literature, Art, and Individual Lives'Book summary:In this work, Nicols Fox examines contemporary resistance to technology and places it in a surprising historical context. She illuminates the rich but oftentimes unrecognized literary and philosophical tradition that has existed for nearly two centuries, since the first Luddites - the "machine breaking" followers of the mythical Ned Ludd - lifted their sledgehammers in protest against the Industrial Revolution. Tracing that current thought through some of the greatest minds of the 19th and 20th centuries - William Blake, Mary Shelley, Charles Dickens, John Ruskin, William Morris, Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Robert Graves, Aldo Leopold, and many others - Fox demonstrates that modern protests against consumptive lifestyles and misgivings about the relentless march of mechanization are part of a fascinating hidden history. She shows as well that the Luddite tradition can yield important insights into how we might reshape both technology and modern life so that human, community and environmental values take precedence over the demand of the machine.

Cgi Programming on the World Wide Webby Shishir GundavaramISBN 1565921682 (1-56592-168-2)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Cgi Programming on the World Wide Web'Book summary:O'Reilly has done it again! This is my favorite book yet on writing CGI scripts with Perl (5.0). The extensive use of real world applications you can try while learning, and the great examples of how to have CGI interact with databases are especially useful. I suspect I shall order several copies for some of our staff who are new to CGI. Although the book has a UNIX bias, it has much to offer scripters on all platforms.
Note that many competitors cram a CD-ROM into their books to give greater "shelf appeal". Don't be fooled. O'Reilly continues its economically and ecologically sensible approach of pointing you to their FTP site to obtain the example code used in the book. (Thanks, Tim!) Highly Recommended. [via]

Contextual Design: Defining Customer-Centered Systemsby Hugh Beyer, Karen HoltzblattISBN 1558604111 (1-55860-411-1)
Softcover, Morgan Kaufmann Pub
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Contextual Design: Defining Customer-Centered Systems'Book summary:There's certainly no shortage of software design methods: most demand total allegiance, and many claim to be the only true way to delivering useful and maintainable software systems in a timely manner. Contextual Design describes another worthwhile software engineering method, one that places the user (or customer) at the forefront of the software design process from beginning to end. This method seems to be a particularly worthwhile addition to the literature.
Contextual Design begins with contextual inquiry, where software developers interview users and attempt to understand the way they work. Such "customer empathy" is central to the Contextual Design process and a total understanding of "work" within organizations is the mantra here. The book describes how, later in the process, software developers step back from the user data and do an "affinity," which is an overall analysis of hundreds (or even thousands) of individual facts. Contextual Design then explains the additional steps required to build systems using this method, including building models for flow, sequence, and artifacts, and establishing the cultural and the physical environments for a system. After getting an overview, developers consolidate these initial models, get more user input, and then design user interfaces.
This book, written in a clear, informal style without excessive jargon, reads very much like a book on business motivation. Various practitioners of Contextual Design offer short testimonials on the software design method. [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Hidden Agendas'Book summary:A best-selling indictment of media complicity with international money and power from "a first-rate dissident journalist" (Robert Hughes). In these passionate reports from Vietnam, South Africa, and Burma, award-winning journalist and documentary film-maker John Pilger gives the unfiltered truth about worldwide struggles for justice and the international role of the United States and Britain. From inside "big media," he also shows how news gets buried, demolishing utopian illusions about the "media age" and the "global village." Hailed by Time Out as "the closest we have to the great correspondents of the 1930s like Ed Murrow and James Cameron," John Pilger is an unflinching crusader whose work has opened the eyes of hundreds of thousands of people. His new book, Hidden Agendas, is a guided tour through the invisible corridors of power and the forgotten stories of the powerless. With 100,000 copies already in print in the United Kingdom, Hidden Agendas is a bracing corrective to media apathy, and essential for anyone who wants to know how the world really works. [via]

From there on, they provide a wide range of HTML coding to allow readers to learn from good examples. The book includes a handy "cheat sheet" of HTML codes for quick reference. --Elizabeth Lewis [via]

Softcover, Macmillan Computer Pub
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Internet Security: Professional Reference'Book summary:Internet Security covers far more material than most other books on the subject, but--inevitably--in less depth. You'll find chapters on daemons, Unix-to-Unix copy (UUCP), audit trails, spoofing and sniffing, SATAN, Kerberos, encryption and PGP, Java, CGI, and viruses. Encompassing such a broad range of material in detail is risky, and this book suffers from several gaps. For example, the subject of electronic commerce goes untouched, with no mention of payment-specific schemes such as CyberCash or protocols such as Secure Electronic Transaction (SET). For those topics that are included, the level of depth varies considerably: Some topics are covered by well-written overviews, others by listing the programs' parameters in excruciating detail, and still others by simplistic tutorials that seem out of place in a technical volume. In addition, there are topics such as encryption, which are scattered across many sections.
You'll also find the full text of RFC 1244, a publicly available document known as the Site Security Handbook. (The only extra value in including it here is that you get it in printed form.) Similarly, the section on building firewalls contains the full manual for the TIS toolkit, a public domain firewall utility that is included (along with its manual) on the bundled CD-ROM. [via]

Mysql and Msqlby Tim King, George Reese, Randy Jay YargerISBN 1565924347 (1-56592-434-7)
Softcover, Oreilly & Associates Inc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Mysql and Msql'Book summary:MySQL and mSQL provides the essentials to programming with these two popular Unix freeware database packages in C/C++, Perl, Python, and Java. The book begins with a fine introduction to databases that covers tables, fields, indexes, and normalization. Then it explains the history of the freeware mSQL and MySQL packages (which offer better performance than commercial relational database management system (RDBMS) packages, though they don't support transactions or other features). Next the authors look at SQL as used within MySQL and mSQL and clarify where to download these packages and how to install them. Examples of how to program with MySQL/mSQL in C/C++ follow.
One of the best parts of this book is its introduction to using Common Gateway Interface (CGI) and Perl to power a Web site with a MySQL/mSQL database. This section offers complete information on using mSQL Perl (and the emerging Database Independent [DBI] standard) for developing CGI database scripts in Perl, and it includes clear examples (including a student database). The book then moves from Perl on to other programming languages--Python and Java. Reference material to all the relevant APIs is featured for each language.
Whatever programming API you choose, MySQL and mSQL are ready to meet the needs of the small to moderate-size Web site. This book delivers essential information on these packages and will help both Web masters and programmers get the most out of these powerful freeware database tools. --Richard Dragan [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Net Lessons: Web-based Projects for Your Classroom'Book summary:[via]Net Lessons features 70 K-12 classroom-tested lesson plans that harness the unique potentials of the Web, plus hundreds of extensions and ideas for all subject areas. The book also provides curriculum frameworks for creating your own successful Web projects, assessment tools, and the advice of teachers who have used the Web in their classrooms.
Classroom teachers are overwhelmed. With budget cuts in everything from grant money to family services and a national agenda of higher standards for both teachers and students, teachers are increasingly being asked to do more with less.
Teachers know there is no magic elixir. An eternally practical group, teachers are interested in easy-to-implement solutions that help them do their job better. And once they find it, they are masters at making the most of a good thing.
Only the most motivated of teachers, however, will embrace a technology that is difficult to learn. That has been the problem with the Internet. Though the Internet's applications to education are obvious, very few schools and fewer teachers have had both the access to the technology and the know-how to make the most of it. Quite simply, as one teacher said, "Why go through all of that?"
The World Wide Web offers teachers an easy-to-learn graphic interface and a bounty of sites customized to educators. Now they want to know what to do; to teachers, that means asking for curricula.
This book helps teachers reap the benefits of the World Wide Web in their classrooms, by supplying them with actual activities and projects that both:
- Use the WWW
This book focuses on projects that let teachers and students use the World Wide Web. It is practical in its approach, emphasizing that the Web's usefulness depends on how effectively it helps teachers achieve their goals.
Unlike other books about this topic on the market, Net Lessons focuses on the curricular applications of the Web, not the tools. Rather than tell teachers where the sites are that supply good ideas, Net Lessons gives them those ideas, complete with comments from teachers who have used the plans successfully in their classrooms.
The book includes scores of tried and true curricular ideas for K-12, organized by subject area and level, with tips for adapting lesson plans to different age groups, classrooms with different resources, and environments such as home schooling. The book includes multiple cross- referenced lists for ease in finding topics by subject, age group, and activity type (cooperative vs. challenge vs. research, etc.). Teachers who have already successfully applied Web resources in their classrooms share their ideas. Activities and projects have been chosen for inclusion based on their ease of implementation and relevance to standard curriculum.
Too often books about the Internet and teaching evangelize. This book uses a cautious tone, helping teachers maximize the benefit and minimize the time needed.
Teachers who use this book will inherit the advice, experience, and project ideas of veteran Web users and curriculum experts.

Opensources: Voices from the Open Source Revolutionby Chris Dibona, Open Source (Organization), Mark Stone, Sam OckmanISBN 1565925823 (1-56592-582-3)

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Opensources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution'Book summary:Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution is a fascinating look at the raging debate that is its namesake. Filled with writings from the central players--from Linux creator Linus Torvalds to Perl creator Larry Wall--the book convinces the reader of the overwhelming merits of freeing up the many iterations of software's source code.
The open-source movement has become a cause célèbre in light of the widespread adoption of Linux, Perl, and Apache as well as its corporate support from Netscape, IBM, and Oracle--and strongly felt opposition from Microsoft. Open Sources doesn't address why these Microsoft foes are throwing their weight behind the movement. Instead, it focuses on the history and philosophy of open-source software (previously referred to as freeware) as an argument for shaping the future of programming. Open Sources is much larger than just a fight with any one company. Instead, it is a revolutionary call to release software development from the vested interests that label new directions in software development as threatening.
This is not to say that opening the source code is an entirely egalitarian and communistic endeavor. These are programmers and startup owners; they want to be able to continue to program for a living. To that end, Open Sources contains strong business profiles from entrepreneurs such as Apache's--and now, O'Reilly & Associates'--Brian Behlendorf, who discusses how to give away software in order to lure customers in for specialized versions. In many ways, this is a hands-on guide, displaying an insider's view of the development process and providing specifics on testing details and altering licensing agreements. However, interspersed with tech talk is a reader-friendly guide for those interested in the future of software development. --Jennifer Buckendorff [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Png: The Definitive Guide'Book summary:[via]PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is the next-generation graphics file format for the Web. Designed as an open-source format to replace the proprietary GIF format, PNG is better, smaller, more extensible, and free. Already supported by major software like Macromedia Fireworks, Adobe Photoshop, and Microsoft Office, as well as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer, PNG is an elegant and feature-rich image format that has finally achieved broad industry support.
PNG: The Definitive Guide addresses the needs of both graphic designers who want to get the most out of the format and programmers who want to add full PNG support to their own applications.
In the "Using PNG" section, Roelofs covers Web browsers and servers, image viewers, image editors, image converters, and 3D applications, with particular attention to the level of PNG support in each. In the "Design of PNG" section, he includes detailed information on compression and filtering, gamma correction and precision color, PNG options and extensions. In the "Programming PNG" section, he steps through three sample programs that implement PNG with the libpng C library.
PNG: The Definitive Guide is the first book devoted exclusively to teaching and documenting this important new image format. It is an indispensable compendium for Web content developers and programmers and is chock full of examples, sample code, and practical hands-on advice.

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Scrolling Forward: Making Sense of Documents in the Digital Age'Book summary:What's up, doc? Information scientist David M Levy wants us to look at the documents that fill our lives, and his book Scrolling Forward is a thoughtful reflection on their near-omnipresence. Levy has the perfect resumé for this job--after getting his Ph.D. in Computer Science in 1981, he moved to England to pursue the study of calligraphy and bookbinding. His love of books shows in his writing, which is rich with references and anecdotes from Walt Whitman to Woody Allen.
Drawing on examples as disparate as grocery store receipts, greeting cards, identity papers and (of course) e-mail, Levy finds the common threads binding them together and explores how and why we use them in daily life. He looks at digitisation closely, considering how speed, ease of editing, and potentially perfect copying changes our traditional considerations of documentation. Though he insists that he's looking at the present, not speculating about the future, it's hard to see how to avoid looking ahead after reading Scrolling Forward. --Rob Lightner [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Sendmail'Book summary:[via]This Nutshell Handbook® is far and away the most comprehensive book ever written on sendmail, the program that acts like a traffic cop in routing and delivering mail on UNIX-based networks. Although sendmail is used on almost every UNIX system, it's one of the last great uncharted territories--and most difficult utilities to learn-- in UNIX system administration.
This book provides a complete sendmail tutorial, plus extensive reference material on every aspect of the program. What's more, it's authoritative, having been co-authored by Eric Allman, the developer of sendmail, and Neil Rickert, one of the leading sendmail gurus on the Net.
This book covers both IDA sendmail and the latest version (V8) from the University of California, Berkeley. It also covers the standard versions available on most systems, such as those found on Sun and DEC/Ultrix workstations.
The book is divided into four parts. Part One is a tutorial on understanding sendmail from the ground up; starting from an empty file, it has the reader work through exercises, building a configuration file and testing the results. Part Two covers practical issues in sendmail administration. Part Three is a comprehensive reference section, while Part Four consists of appendices and a bibliography.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Snakes on a Plane'Book summary:Like some slithery, fork-tongued version of the proverbial snowball, Snakes on a Plane (SoaP to those in the know) keeps gathering speed. Not since Jaws has a movie been so feverishly anticipated, and not since The Blair Witch Project has an underground cult film been transformed into an international phenomena by the tireless work of the fans themselves.[via]
An action film starring the king of action himself, Samuel L. Jackson, Snakes on a Plane was hailed as the sleeper hit of the summer by Stephen King in Entertainment Weekly. Its buildup is perplexing and impossible-to-ignore, and has been featured on CNN, NPR, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, The Hollywood Reporter, and on legions of blogs and web sites. Reportedly, New Line Cinema re-titled the film Pacific Flight 121, provoking outrage in cyberland and by even Jackson himself.
Now comes Snakes on a Plane: The Guide to the Internet Sssssensation, an homage to the fans themselves and the Internets buildup that convinced the producers to bring back the stars for re-shoots in order to satisfy the expectations of the fans. Snakes on a Plane is lavishly illustrated, featuring much of the fans original artwork.More editions of Snakes on a Plane:

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Unix in a Nutshell: A Desktop Quick Reference for System V Release 4 and Solaris 2.0'Book summary:Simply the best System V and Solaris reference on the market today, Unix in a Nutshell won't steer you wrong. The book's concise style delivers the essential information on Unix, shell, and utility commands. Its command documentation is clear and complete and its examples are relevant and easy to follow.
Gilly starts with a complete, alphabetized listing of core Unix commands. Each entry includes a syntax summary, a clear statement of what the command does, and a full list of options, each with commentary on its function. The author then covers shell documentation, supplying details on the Bourne, Korn, and C shells and documenting each shell's commands in the standard format. Gilly also includes a section on regular expressions as they apply to grep, egrep, text editors, and various scripting languages.
Next, the book offers complete documentation of Emacs, ex, and vi, the powerful editors whose command structure proves perennially difficult to learn. The commands, once again, appear alphabetically with statements of their respective purposes. Other popular utilities--sed, awk, nroff, troff, tbl, and several macro languages--follow. Code managers SCCS and RCS, rarely documented in Unix books, bring up the rear.
Users need to know what they're looking up or they won't find this book useful. Otherwise, Unix in a Nutshell's documentation is the best. --David Wall [via]

User Friendlyby J. D. Illiad FrazerISBN 1565926730 (1-56592-673-0)
Softcover, Oreilly & Associates Inc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'User Friendly'Book summary:Yes, it's a cliché, but it's true enough to be worth repeating: User Friendly is to the open-source world what Dilbert is to swarming hives of Windows cubicles. Set in an ISP company that keeps getting bought and sold, the constant remains a team of cynical, hilarious techies. M.B.A.s and marketers drift in and out, as do CEOs, often making statements like, "I can't surf the Web. I think the Internet is broken." For anyone who's dealt with similar situations, User Friendly is the ultimate in-joke.
To be fair, the comic is pretty basic in layout and execution. No one will confuse this book with a graphic novel, since the visuals basically exist only to further the punch line. (Think of a stripped-down Bloom County and you're getting close.) Lots of the jokes involve goofy, clichéd rants about the beauty of Quake, Linux, and Star Wars--the holy trinity for a white, wired, 18-26 year-old male audience. But when the author, Illiad, nails the bloated bureaucracy that exists in the tech working world, it's a laugh-out-loud payoff. In one comic, a new "suit" walks into the tech den and asks, What's "one thing that makes your job difficult, and we'll see about eliminating that." The chorus erupts: "Meetings." The new boss replies: "Very good. Now let's spend a few hours discussing why meetings make you unproductive." A comic that tilts at windmills and Windows, it's clear why User Friendly has developed such a strong online cult following. --Jennifer Buckendorff [via]
