This book explains many powerful PEAR packages for maximizing your PHP development productivity for accessing and displaying data, handling dates, working with XML and Web Services, and accessing Web APIs.
The Linux Enterprise Cluster explains how to take a number of inexpensive computers with limited resources, place them on a normal computer network, and install free software so that the computers act together like one powerful server. This makes it possible to build a very inexpensive and reliable business system for a small business or a large corporation. The book includes information on how to build a high-availability server pair using the Heartbeat package, how to use the Linux Virtual Server load balancing software, how to configure a reliable printing system in a Linux cluster environment, and how to build a job scheduling system in Linux with no single point of failure.
The book also includes information on high availability techniques that can be used with or without a cluster, making it helpful for System Administrators even if they are not building a cluster. Anyone interested in deploying Linux in an environment where low cost computer reliability is important will find this book useful.
clearly explains concepts such as introspection, overriding built-ins, extending Perl s object-oriented model, and testing your code for greater stability.
This book explains how to write, install, and debug device drivers for Windows 2000. It is intended to be a companion to the Microsoft DDK documentation and software.
Windows 2000 represents a major improvement to previous versions of Windows NT. Device drivers for Windows 2000 may be designed for the new Windows Driver Model (WDM) architecture. If so, the driver will be source compatible with Windows 98. This book covers the new WDM specification.
This book will also prove useful to those studying the internals of Windows 2000, particularly the I/O subsystem and related components.
* explains process algebra and protocol specification using µ CRL, a language developed to combine process algebra and abstract data types
* Text is supported throughout with examples and exercises
* Full solutions are provided in an appendix, while exercise sheets, lab exercises, example specifications and lecturer slides are available on the author s website
This work briefly explains common cryptosystems and details two most popular private-key ciphers: DES ,which is probably the most widely used, and AES, which is intended to replace DES.
This book explains how to write device drivers for the newest members of the MicrosoftWindows family of operating systems using the Windows Driver Model (WDM). In this Introduction, I ll explain who should be reading this book, the organization of the book, and how to use the book most effectively. You ll also find a note on errors and a section on other resources you can use to learn about driver programming. Looking ahead, Chapter 1 explains how the two main branches of the Windows family operate internally, what a WDM device driver is, and how it relates to the rest of Windows.
