  • Cloud Computingby Christian Baun; Marcel Kunze; Jens Nimis; Stefan Tai

    Springer 2011; US$ 39.95

    Cloud computing is a buzz-word in today's information technology (IT) that nobody can escape. But what is really behind it? There are many interpretations of this term, but no standardized or even uniform definition. Instead, as a result of the multi-faceted viewpoints and the diverse interests expressed by the various stakeholders, cloud computing is perceived as a rather fuzzy concept. With this book, the authors deliver an overview of cloud computing architecture, services, and applications. Their aim is to bring readers up to date on this technology and thus to provide a common basis for discussion, new research, and novel application scenarios. They first introduce the foundation of cloud computing with its basic technologies, such... more...

  • Algorithmic Puzzlesby Anany Levitin; Maria Levitin

    Oxford University Press, USA 2011; US$ 21.95

    While many think of algorithms as specific to computer science, at its core algorithmic thinking is defined by the use of analytical logic to solve problems. This logic extends far beyond the realm of computer science and into the wide and entertaining world of puzzles. In Algorithmic Puzzles, Anany and Maria Levitin use many classic brainteasers as well as newer examples from job interviews with major corporations to show readers how to apply analytical thinking to solve puzzles requiring well-defined procedures. The book's unique collection of puzzles is supplemented with carefully developed tutorials on algorithm design strategies and analysis techniques intended to walk the reader step-by-step through the various approaches to algorithmic... more...

  • Beta Testing for Better Softwareby Michael R. Fine

    John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2002; US$ 55.00

    Implement, operate, and use beta testing immediately with this hands-on guide to the best practices Beta testing is a complex process that, when properly run, provides a wealth of diverse information. But when poorly executed, it delivers little or no data while wasting time and money. Written by a leading expert in the field, this book will help you reach the full potential that beta testing has to offer. Michael Fine compiles the best practices to date so you can effectively bring beta testing into your company's process to improve product quality. Using real-world case studies, this book begins by clearly explaining what a beta is and why you need one. Fine then explores the beta test procedure and walks through the best processes to use... more...

  • PowerPC System Architectureby Tom Shanley; Inc. Mindshare

    Addison-Wesley Longman 1995; US$ 9.95

    PowerPC System Architecture describes the hardware architecture of PowerPC systems, providing a clear, concise explanation of the PowerPC specification, the template upon which all PowerPC processors are designed. The author provides a complete description of the specification for both the 32- and 64-bit implementations. The second half of the book examines the PowerPC 601 processor as an example, exploring how the processor fits, adheres to, and deviates from the PowerPC processor specification. In addition, a detailed discussion of the bus structure and transaction protocol used by the 60x processors is provided. more...

  • Embedded Ethernet and Internet Completeby Jan Axelson

    Lakeview Research 2004; US$ 39.95

    Bringing together two areas of computer technology—networking and embedded systems—this developer's guide offers guidance and examples for each of these, with a focus on the special requirements and limits of embedded systems. Because developing an embedded system for networking requires knowledge from many areas, including circuit design, programming, network architecture, and Ethernet and Internet protocols, developers are given valuable technical information on each that can be put to use right away. Covered are the advantages and limits of using Ethernet to connect embedded systems in a local network, hardware and program code needed to connect an embedded system to an Ethernet network and the Internet, and how to build a network.... more...

  • Architecting Enterprise Solutionsby Paul Dyson; Andrew Longshaw

    John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2004; US$ 55.00

    A practical, nuts-and-bolts guide to architectural solutions that describes step-by-step how to design robustness and flexibility into an Internet-based system Based on real-world problems and systems, and illustrated with a running case study Enables software architects and project managers to ensure that nonfunctional requirements are met so that the system won't fall over, that it can be maintained and upgraded without being switched off, and that it can deal with security, scalability, and performance demands Platform and vendor independence will empower architects to challenge product-dictated limitations more...

  • Excel VBA Programming For Dummiesby John Walkenbach

    John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2011; US$ 24.99

    Having Excel and just using it for standard spreadsheets is a little like getting the ultimate cable system and a 50” flat panel plasma HDTV and using it exclusively to watch Lawrence Welk reruns. With Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) programming, you can take advantage of numerous Excel options such as: creating new worksheet functions; automating tasks and operations; creating new appearances, toolbars, and menus; designing custom dialog boxes and add-ins; and much more. This guide is not for rank Excel amateurs. It’s for intermediate to advanced Excel users who want to learn VBA programming (or whose bosses want them to learn VBA programming). You need to know your way around Excel before you start creating customized short... more...
