Given Perl s natural fit for web applications development, it s no surprise that Perl is also a natural choice for web services development. It s the most popular web programming language, with strong implementations of both SOAP and XML-RPC, the leading ways to distribute applications using web services. But books on web services focus on writing these applications in Java or Visual Basic, leaving Perl programmers with few resources to get them started. "Programming Web Services with Perl" changes that, BRINGING Perl users all the information they need to create web services using their favorite language.
The Red Hat Linux and Fedora distributions have become one of the major Linux
distributions, BRINGING to the PC all the power and flexibility of a Unix workstation as
well as a complete set of Internet applications and a fully functional desktop
interface. This book is designed not only to be a complete reference on Linux, but also to
provide clear and detailed explanations of Linux features. No prior knowledge of Unix is
assumed Linux is an operating system anyone can use
Universal.Data.Access.Components 2.50
Universal Data Access Components (UniDAC) is a library of components that provides direct access to most popular database servers from Delphi, Delphi for .NET and, C++Builder. UniDAC can work with such servers as Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Interbase, Firebird. The UniDAC library is designed to help programmers develop faster and cleaner cross-database applications. UniDAC is a complete replacement for such standard universal technology as dbExpress. UniDAC is a handy in use and efficient data access solution BRINGING into play many features specific to each server.
In recent years, cellular voice networks have transformed into powerful packet-switched
access networks for both voice communication and Internet access. Evolving Universal
Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) networks and first Long Term Evolution
(LTE) installations now deliver bandwidths of several megabits per second to individual
users, and mobile access to the Internet from handheld devices and notebooks is no
longer perceived as slower than a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) or cable connection.
Bandwidth and capacity demands, however, keep rising because of the increasing number
of people using the networks and because of bandwidth-intensive applications such as
video streaming. Thus, network manufacturers and network operators need to find ways
to continuously increase the capacity and performance of their cellular networks while
reducing the cost.
At present, there is a strong worldwide push toward BRINGING fiber closer to indi-
vidual homes and businesses. Fiber-to-the-Home/Business (FTTH/B) or close to it
networks are poised to become the next major success story for optical fiber com-
munications. In fact, FTTH connections are currently experiencing double-digit or
even higher growth rates, e.g., in the United States the annual growth rate was 112%
between September 2006 and September 2007, and their presence can add value of
U.S. $4,000–15,000 to the selling price of a home.
The continuing explosive growth in mobile communication is demanding more spectrally
efficient radio access technologies than the prevalent second generation (2G) systems such as
GSM to handle just the voice traffic. We are already witnessing high levels of mobile
penetration exceeding 70% in some countries. It is anticipated that by 2010 more than half of
all communications will be carried out by mobile cellular networks. On the other hand, the
information revolution and changing life habits are BRINGING the requirement of commu-
nicating on a multimedia level to the mobile environment. But the data handling capabilities
and flexibility of the 2G cellular systems are limited.
A revolution in power industries, including generation, transmission and distribution, driven by
environmental and economic considerations, is taking place all over the world. The smart grid allows for
integration of diverse generation and storage options, reduced losses, improved efficiencies, increased
grid flexibility, reduced power outages, allowing for competitive electricity pricing and integration of
electric vehicles and overall becoming more responsive to market, consumer and societal needs. It is
BRINGING profound changes to both power systems and many related industries.
