Douglas R. Stinson's Cryptography: Theory and Practice is a mathematically intensive examination of cryptography, including ciphers, the Data Encryption Standard (DES), public key cryptography, one-way hash functions, and digital signatures. Stinson's explication of "zero-sum proofs"--a process by which one person lets another person know that he or she has a password without actually revealing any information--is especially good.
If you are new to the math behind cryptography but want to tackle it, the author covers all of the required background to understand the real mathematics here. Cryptography includes extensive exercises with each chapter and makes an ideal introduction for any math-literate person willing to get acquainted with this material. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Data and Reality'
Let's step back to the year 1978. Sony introduces hip portable music with the Walkman, Illinois Bell Company releases the first mobile phone, Space Invaders kicks off the video game craze, and William Kent writes Data and Reality. We have made amazing progress in the last four decades in terms of portable music, mobile communication, and entertainment, making devices such as the original Sony Walkman and suitcase-sized mobile phones museum pieces today. Yet remarkably, the book Data and Reality is just as relevant to the field of data management today as it was in 1978.
Data and Reality gracefully weaves the disciplines of psychology and philosophy with data management to create timeless takeaways on how we perceive and manage information. Although databases and related technology have come a long way since 1978, the process of eliciting business requirements and how we think about information remains constant. This book will provide valuable insights whether you are a 1970s data-processing expert or a modern-day business analyst, data modeler, database administrator, or data architect.
This third edition of Data and Reality differs substantially from the first and second editions. Data modeling thought leader Steve Hoberman has updated many of the original examples and references and added his commentary throughout the book, including key points at the end of each chapter.
The important takeaways in this book are rich with insight yet presented in a conversational writing style. Here are just a few of the issues this book tackles:
From Graeme Simsion's foreword:
While such fundamental issues remain unrecognized and unanswered, Data and Reality, with its lucid and compelling elucidation of the questions, needs to remain in print. I read the book as a database administrator in 1980, as a researcher in 2002, and just recently as the manuscript for the present edition. On each occasion I found something more, and on each occasion I considered it the most important book I had read on data modeling. It has been on my recommended reading list forever. The first chapter in particular should be mandatory reading for anyone involved in data modeling.
In publishing this new edition, Steve Hoberman has not only ensured that one of the key books in the data modeling canon remains in print, but has added his own comments and up-to-date examples, which are likely to be helpful to those who have come to data modeling more recently. Don't do any more data modeling work until you've read it. [via]

The final volume of the Handbook of Programming Languages series, Functional, Concurrent and Logic Programming Languages, discusses languages that work with data based on the high-level operations to be performed. This volume interprets what the data mean instead of precisely how to perform the computations. These languages are natural choices for developers of artificial intelligence and knowledge-based applications.
This book opens with a brief general description of Lisp and devotes a chapter to Emacs Lisp. Sections on Scheme, Guile, and CLOS follow.
The volume wraps up with a long chapter on Prolog--a key logic programming language that is highly expressive and useful for knowledge systems and artificial intelligence development. Though knowledge-based applications still make up only a small portion of the overall programming landscape, there's little doubt that they will play an increasingly important role in the future. This volume chronicles the roots of the evolution of knowledge-based applications. --Stephen Plain [via]

Books on regression and the analysis of variance abound-many are introductory, many are theoretical. While most of them do serve a purpose, the fact remains that data analysis cannot be properly learned without actually doing it, and this means using a statistical software package. There are many of these to choose from as well, all with their particular strengths and weaknesses. Lately, however, one such package has begun to rise above the others thanks to its free availability, its versatility as a programming language, and its interactivity. That software is R.
In the first book that directly uses R to teach data analysis, Linear Models with R focuses on the practice of regression and analysis of variance. It clearly demonstrates the different methods available and more importantly, in which situations each one applies. It covers all of the standard topics, from the basics of estimation to missing data, factorial designs, and block designs, but it also includes discussion on topics, such as model uncertainty, rarely addressed in books of this type. The presentation incorporates an abundance of examples that clarify both the use of each technique and the conclusions one can draw from the results. All of the data sets used in the book are available for download from http://www.stat.lsa.umich.edu/~faraway/LMR/.
The author assumes that readers know the essentials of statistical inference and have a basic knowledge of data analysis, linear algebra, and calculus. The treatment reflects his view of statistical theory and his belief that qualitative statistical concepts, while somewhat more difficult to learn, are just as important because they enable us to practice statistics rather than just talk about it.

One of the hardest optional tests in the MCSE battery also is one of the most popular. The TCP/IP exam ranks as one of the favorites of test takers. Why? Because as the protocol that holds the Internet (and Internet-standard intranets) together, TCP/IP is so useful.
TCP/IP is so large and feature-rich that this book does not attempt to explain it much or tutor you in how to use it. Rather, MCSE Exam Cram: TCP/IP tries to explain the exam so you're better prepared to pass.
That's not to say that this book is devoid of explanation. You'll find brief summaries of routing, IP addresses, DNS (Domain Name Server), DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service), SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), and troubleshooting--all key parts of the exam. However, these summaries are useless to those without grounding in TCP/IP from either experience or more in-depth books. The real strength of this book is its collection of questions, which are presented with a discussion (not just a statement) of the right and wrong answers and will do much to prepare you for the exam. In future editions, it would be more helpful if the layout team put questions and answers on separate pages. [via]

Physics and computer science genius Stephen Wolfram, whose Mathematica computer language launched a multimillion-dollar company, now sets his sights on a more daunting goal: understanding the universe. A New Kind of Science is a gorgeous, 1,280-page tome more than a decade in the making. With patience, insight, and self-confidence to spare, Wolfram outlines a fundamental new way of modelling complex systems.
On the frontier of complexity science since he was a boy, Wolfram is a champion of cellular automata--256 "programs" governed by simple non-mathematical rules. He points out that even the most complex equations fail to accurately model biological systems, but the simplest cellular automata can produce results straight out of nature--tree branches, stream eddies, and leopard spots, for instance. The graphics in A New Kind of Science show striking resemblance to the patterns we see in nature every day.
Wolfram wrote the book in a distinct style meant to make it easy to read, even for non-techies; a basic familiarity with logic is helpful but not essential. Readers will find themselves swept away by the elegant simplicity of Wolfram's ideas and the accidental artistry of the cellular automaton models. Whether or not Wolfram's revolution ultimately gives us the keys to the universe, his new science is absolutely awe-inspiring. --Therese Littleton [via]

Aimed at aspiring .NET developers who want to work with Content Management (CM) applications, Real-World ASP .NET: Building a Content Management System provides both a fine overview of what's involved in managing Web site content and also delivers working code for a free, proprietary CMS using the latest in .NET technology and C#.
With commercial CM systems costing proverbial big bucks, this book shows you that for a small to mid-sized site you can beat licensing fees with a proprietary system built using the powerful .NET framework and ASP .NET. One of this text's most valuable features is its thorough tutorial to what goes into today's commercial CMS applications from basic content types, version control and workflow. These early chapters will be indispensable for anyone working with CM whether Web master, content creator, or developer. (The author provides everything you wanted to know about CM but were afraid to ask. You might well read this book to swot up for a job interview having anything to do with CM in any capacity.)
After describing what goes into an effective CM application, this title turns to .NET and the recommended three-tiered architecture for .NET applications, the basics of .NET, ADO .NET (for database programming with dynamic content) and a quick overview XML support in .NET. The rest of the book delves into the author's own CMS .NET application, which is used to discuss issues in administering (and programming a site).
After first setting up and getting the site up-and-running, the author looks at basic operations like viewing, posting and updating stories, along with sample .aspx Web pages and the code-behind forms written in C# that brings these pages to life. Besides basic CM, the author shows how to provide simple role-based personalisation and security (including protecting pages from certain users).
While CMS .NET may not be a complete substitute for an expensive CM solution, it can no doubt be adapted to meet the needs of a small to medium-sized Web site. As both a way to get a handle on CM and a practical tutorial to getting started with.NET development, Real-World ASP .NET will serve as a useful resource for a good range of readers. --Richard Dragan
Topics covered: Introduction to Content Management Systems (CMS), elements of a CMS system explained: the Content Management Application (CMA), the Metacontent Management Application (MMA) and the Content Display Application (CDA); types of content, benefits of CMS, commercial vs proprietary systems, simple and complex version control, rollback support, CMS and workflow (including the Workflow Definition Application, WDA and workflow engines), personalisation basics (including types of personalisation from using cookies to push content to rule-based personalisation, the law of diminishing returns, privacy issues), building customer relationships, Web architecture explained: the presentation, application and database layers, Web scripting languages compared, introduction to ASP .NET and the .NET Framework, using Visual Studio .NET to build a CMS (using basic control types), tutorial to ADO .NET for database programming (basic objects and database basics including stored procedures for SQL Server), using the DataGrid control, introduction to XML and .NET classes for XML (manipulating XML nodes), overview of CMS .NET (the author's case study for a content management system built with .NET), installing and configuration the sample code, tour of CMS .NET features, an XML-driven navigation bar (NavBar), administering content (adding, editing, updating and removing stories), security issues in .NET (including role-based authentication in CMS .NET), displaying dynamic content (including pre-canned zones for home pages, headlines and stories), workflow support in CMS .NET (including authoring, editing, approval and deployment phases) and protecting content (privacy issues and gathering user information for profiles).

Considering that the Windows 2000 Server Exam Cram is supposed to be a last-minute refresher course before the main exam, it seems slightly out of place to wish that it were a bigger book. After all, Exam Crams aren't supposed to be your primary reference--and this book does have enough content to get you past the exam. But Windows 2000 Server is such a large, all-encompassing topic that 300 pages barely covers it--and with so much at stake, you'll want every potentially testable detail you can grab for.
As with the rest of the books in this fine series, you'd have a hard time finding fault with the presentation. Written for the professional who's already got a background in Windows 2000 features, the Exam Cram goes over each of the exam-critical topics with an eye toward clarification, memorization, and test-taking pitfalls. The writing is terse and packed with information, getting the point across in as few sentences as possible. Don't expect tons of screen shots or extensive walk-throughs, but it's a darn sight better than highlighting three or four 700-page preparation books to flesh out the most important facts. And the sample questions, seven or eight at the end of each chapter plus a 50-question exam at the end, are as good as they get, providing fairly complex scenarios with trick questions and similar answers.
But there are certain confusing areas that don't necessarily get the in-depth treatment that other Exam Cram books give. RIS and troubleshooting, a fairly complex topic, is covered in a slim page and a half. MMC snap-in delegations are covered, incompletely at that, in a few scant bullets. The section on DNS skims it at a very high level, giving all of two sentences to zone transfers and not even mentioning topics that might arise in a larger network environment--like zone delegation and areas of authority, which are situations that are certain to come up in an Active Directory forest. And even when many pages are given to certain complex topics, like OUs and group memberships, it all feels slightly compressed. It might have been a bit clearer if it weren't crammed (so to speak) into so few pages--50 or 60 extra pages and a few more charts might have clarified it more.
Now don't get us wrong--it's still got enough to pass, and, for a mere $30, this is still one of the most economical computer books you can purchase. In fact, this book is superior in content and presentation to many Windows 2000 preparation guides that retail for twice the price. But because this is a small book, cuts had to be made, some of which may starve the reader of background details needed to understand more complex topics.
But still, when the worst thing you can say about a book is that it isn't quite as good as the other books in the series, you know it's worth your purchase. Just do what the publishers themselves recommend--using it as a supplement, not a primary source--and don't make this your only purchase. --William Steinmetz [via]

Windows Script Host explains the latest Windows scripting technology, focusing on VBScript as a tool for developing robust scripting solutions under Windows NT 4 and Windows 2000.
Having established a name with his superb Windows NT Shell Scripting, Tim Hill has written a fine book about the Windows technology that's replacing DOS-like batch files. More than his earlier work (which was largely a collection of ready-to-run administration scripts tailored for particular tasks), this book is a tutorial. It's meant to get you up to speed on several technologies, including the ActiveX-based Windows scripting architecture, the Windows Script Host (WSH) itself, the WSH interpreters (cscript.exe and wscript.exe), the VBScript language, and the WSH object model.
Those readers who are looking for ready solutions to their administration woes will find some manna here. Hill has written and published several useful scripts, including one that generates a list of a machine's users, one that configures a user's environment variables at login, and one that generates a directory listing in XML form. (There's no companion disk, though.)
Programmers who want a solid explanation of the WSH's programming environment (hardly documented until now) will be most pleased. Documentation of the WSH object model, especially the portion that exposes the file system, is excellent (though you may wish for different formatting). There are also a couple of utility files included--they'll make it easier for you to build your own administration scripts. --David Wall [via]
