DIGITAL IMAGERY is pervasive in our world today. Consequently,
standards for the efficient representation and
interchange of digital images are essential. To date, some of
the most successful still image compression standards have resulted
from the ongoing work of the Joint Photographic Experts
Group (JPEG). This group operates under the auspices of Joint
technical Committee 1, Subcommittee 29, Working Group 1
(JTC 1/SC 29/WG 1), a collaborative effort between the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International
Telecommunication Union Standardization Sector (ITUT).
Both the JPEG [1–3] and JPEG-LS [4–6] standards were
born from the work of the JPEG committee. For the last few
years, the JPEG committee has been working towards the establishment
of a new standard known as JPEG 2000 (i.e., ISO/IEC
15444). The fruits of these labors are now coming to bear, as
JPEG-2000 Part 1 (i.e., ISO/IEC 15444-1 [7]) has recently been
approved as a new international standard.
Introduction to the MSN Messenger Activity SDK
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --
The MSN® Messenger Activity software development kit (SDK) contains technical information about how to develop and test single-user and multiuser applications by using the Activity object model. The SDK also provides detailed information about the MSN development and testing requirements that your Activity must meet, and how to increase the usage of your MSN Messenger Activity application.

This book presents an insightful view of XML that places this emerging technology in the context of the ongoing Web revolution. Written for business and technical professionals, this book revals the true value of XML for distributed information systems. It explains how XML is transforming the way organizations manage data and build software systems details the opportunities the language offers for organizatoins that understand tis significance and potential impact and explains how XML and Web services reflect a fundamental shift in software construction-from monolithic applications to software based on the composition of simple parts.

要學MFC必看之書，由Jeff Prosise編寫。下面是作者前言：
The production of this book required the efforts of many people, but two in particular deserve to be singled out for their diligent, sustained, and unselfish efforts. Sally Stickney, the book s principal editor, navigated me through that minefield called the English language and contributed greatly to the book s readability. Marc Young, whose talents as a technical editor are nothing short of amazing, was relentless in tracking down bugs, testing sample code, and verifying facts. Sally, Marc: This book is immeasurably better because of you. Thanks.
The creation of believable and endearing characters in computer
graphics presents a number of technical challenges, including the
modeling, animation and rendering of complex shapes such as
heads, hands, and clothing.
The purpose of this application note is to describe the main elements of
an RS-422 and RS-485 system. This application note attempts to cover
enough technical details so that the system designer will have considered all
the important aspects in his data system design. Since both RS-422 and RS-
485 are data transmission systems that use balanced differential signals, it is
appropriate to discuss both systems in the same application note. Throughout
this application note the generic terms of RS-422 and RS-485 will be used to
represent the EIA/TIA-422 and EIA/TIA-485 Standards.
The initial planning and thinking about this book began during a discussion of SQL Server futures in
July 2001. The discussion was with Rob Howard during a trip to Microsoft to discuss the first book I was
working on at that time. After that, I stayed involved in what was happening in ADO.NET by going to
the SQL Server Yukon technical Preview in Bellevue, Washington, in February 2002 and by working
with the ASP.NET and SQL Server teams at Microsoft since July 2003.
