Pthreads Programming: Using POSIX Threads

Author: Bradford Nichols

Computers are just as busy as the rest of us nowadays. They have lots of tasks to do at once and need some cleverness to get them all done at the same time. That's why threads are becoming a new model for programming. Microsoft Windows NT, the Distributed Computing Environment (DCE), and many UNIX-based operating systems support threads. One advantage of most UNIX and DCE implementations is that they conform to a recently ratified POSIX standard (originally 1003.4a, now 1003.1c), which allows your programs to be portable between them. The POSIX threads standard, commonly known as Pthreads, is supported by most UNIX-based operating systems. With threads programming, multiple tasks run concurrently within the same program. They can share a single CPU as processes do or take advantage of multiple CPUs when available. They provide a clean way to divide the tasks of a program while sharing data. In this book you will learn when to use threads and how to make them efficient. The book delves into performance issues, comparing threads to processes, contrasting kernel threads to user threads, and showing how to measure speed. It describes in a simple, clear manner what all the advanced features are for and how threads interact with the rest of the UNIX system.

Booknews

Shows how to use the POSIX threads standard, discussing performance issues and how threads interact with the rest of the UNIX system, and comparing various types of threads.

Security Warrior

Author: Cyrus Peikari

It's easy to find books on computer security. Many users and administrators are becoming overwhelmed, and justifiably so. The sophistication of attacks against computer systems increases with each exploit in the wild. What's the worst an attacker can do to you? That's what Security Warrior teaches you. Based on the principle that the only way to defend yourself is to understand your attacker in depth, Security Warrior reveals how your systems can be threatened. Covering everything from reverse engineering to SQL attacks, and including topics like social engineering, antiforensics, and advanced attacks against Unix and Windows systems, this book leaves you knowing your enemy and prepared to do battle.

Security Warrior places particular emphasis on reverse engineering. RE is a fundamental skill for the administrator, who must be aware of all kinds of malware that can be installed on machines: Trojaned binaries, "spyware" that looks innocuous while sending private data back to its creator, and more. This is the only book to discuss reverse engineering for Linux or Windows CE. It's also the only book that shows you how SQL injection works, enabling you to inspect your database and web applications for vulnerability. Security Warrior is the most comprehensive, up-to-date book covering the art of computer war: attacks against computer systems and their defenses. It's often scary, and never comforting. If you're on the front lines, defending your site against attackers, you need this book, on your shelf -- and in your hands.

Library Journal

Network security assessment (see also Computer Media, LJ 8/03) involves identifying vulnerabilities so that they can be minimized, and these guides address the topic from varying perspectives. Case Studies delves into implementing the framework of network security standards (IAM, or Information Assurance Methodology) defined by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA), while Network Security Assessment focuses partially on NSA IAM and partially on the UK's Government Communication Headquarters (GCHQ) security framework, CESG (Communications and Electronics Security Group) CHECK. Case Studies' checklists, case studies, and sample templates create a practical and useful guide for firms that provide security assessments, individuals who have taken an IAM class, and organizations conducting security audits. A nice overview of an often-confusing topic, moving from the security contract stage through final reporting and follow-up. Network Security Assessment's broader coverage-as well as its step-by-step discussion of security risks and how to combat or minimize them-makes it a good choice for those addressing security issues in general. Its take on multiple services and operating systems, and its real-world examples create a comprehensive, useful guide. Both are appropriate for larger libraries; buy McNab's if you can afford only one. For advanced administrators and security experts, Warrior addresses security assessment in general. It focuses most heavily, however, on the topic of reverse engineering, or of disassembling applications to see what is going on at their lowest levels. This allows administrators to dissect malware and spyware in order to disinfect and secure their systems more effectively. Its coverage of multiple environments and tools and the overview of attacks from a cracker's perspective make this an appropriate purchase for larger libraries.

The Definitive Guide To Sqlite

Author: Michael Owens

The Definitive Guide to SQLite is the perfect book about SQLite. It covers everything needed to start working with SQLite including installation, using the SQLite shell, and programming with SQLite using six different language extensions.

— Joe Topjian, Adminspotting

Traditional relational databases and embedded databases both have shortcomings that can leave a developer perplexed. So for many people, the solution resides in SQLite, an open source embeddable database with an amazingly small footprint (less than 250 kilobytes). SQLite packs a powerful array of features and can handle databases as large as 2 terabytes. It offers a flexible set of datatypes and the ability to perform transactions, and it is supported by languages like C, PHP, Perl, and Python. And because SQLite's databases are completely file based, privileges are granted at the operating system level, allowing for easy and fast user management.

The Definitive Guide to SQLite is the first book to devote complete coverage to the latest version of this powerful database. It offers you a thorough overview of SQLite capabilities and APIs, while remaining cognizant of newcomers who may be making their first foray into a database environment with SQLite. This book serves as both a first-time tutorial and future reference guide.

• You'll learn about SQLite extensions available for C, Java, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, and Tcl.
• The book thoroughly covers SQLite internals to help you take full advantage of its features while minimally impacting resource consumption.
• Author Mike Owens is the original creator of Pysqlite, the popular Python extension for SQLite.

The Man Who Knew Too Much: Alan Turing and the Invention of the Computer (Great Discoveries)

Author: David Leavitt

A "skillful and literate" (New York Times Book Review) biography of the persecuted genius who helped create the modern computer.

To solve one of the great mathematical problems of his day, Alan Turing proposed an imaginary computer. Then, attempting to break a Nazi code during World War II, he successfully designed and built one, thus ensuring the Allied victory. Turing became a champion of artificial intelligence, but his work was cut short. As an openly gay man at a time when homosexuality was illegal in England, he was convicted and forced to undergo a humiliating "treatment" that may have led to his suicide.

With a novelist's sensitivity, David Leavitt portrays Turing in all his humanity—his eccentricities, his brilliance, his fatal candor—and elegantly explains his work and its implications.

Publishers Weekly

Hounded by authorities and peers alike, British mathematician Alan Turing committed suicide in 1954 by biting into a cyanide-laced apple. A groundbreaking thinker in the field of pure math, a man principally responsible for breaking the Enigma code used by the Germans during WWII and the originator of the ideas that led to the invention of the computer, Turing was also an avowed homosexual at a time when such behavior flew in the face of both convention and the law. Leavitt (The Body of Jonah Boyd) writes that the unfailingly logical Turing was so literal minded, he "neither glorified nor anthologized" his homosexuality. Educated at King's College, Cambridge, and Princeton, Turing produced the landmark paper "On Computable Numbers" in 1937, where he proposed the radical idea that machines would and could "think" for themselves. Despite his Enigma code-breaking prowess during the war, which gave the Allies a crucial advantage, Turing was arrested in 1952 and charged with committing acts of gross indecency with another man. With lyrical prose and great compassion, Leavitt has produced a simple book about a complex man involved in an almost unfathomable task that is accessible to any reader. Illus.

Library Journal

Sparks are bound to fly when the life of one of the 20th century's greatest scientists and thinkers is displayed through a gay lens. Novelist Leavitt (The Lost Language of Cranes) picks over old bones in the closet of acclaimed mathematician, cryptographer, computer theorist, and philosopher Alan Turing (1912-54), looking for insight into the influence that his homosexual orientation might have had on his personal and professional life. Turing spent his life bridging the gap between pure mathematics and real-world applications. Perhaps the best example of his work is the machine that broke Germany's World War II Enigma cipher. This book balances lay reader-friendly explanations of Turing's accomplishments with the story of his life and offers a great exploration of the relationship among reputation, talent, and influence. But despite Leavitt's best efforts to bring something new to Turing's story, the gay lens never really illuminates anything of substance. Because the book attempts to appeal to a gay readership, some popular science readers will be lost. For larger collections only.-James A. Buczynski, Seneca Coll. of Applied Arts & Technology, Toronto Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

Kirkus Reviews

Given the example of the great British mathematician and inventor Alan Turing, it's ironic, writes novelist Leavitt (The Body of Jonah Boyd, 2004, etc.), that the study of mathematics was once thought to cure homosexuality. Turing expanded upon important ideas of how thinking happens and how machines could be taught to think, and he had a certain inclination toward machine-like literalness himself. A brilliant man who never quite shone, he was always off in the corner, becoming increasingly eccentric and spectacularly unhygienic as he grew older, oblivious to the norms by which others around him lived. Still, Turing found himself at the very heart of the British effort during WWII to crack the German Enigma code. He labored endlessly to decrypt enemy communications, making important discoveries about machine logic in the process. Many of Turing's contributions to mathematics and nascent computer science date to his years doing top-secret work at Bletchley Park. He might have gone on to greater things had he not been hauled up on the postwar morals charge of "gross indecency with another male: the same crime of which Oscar Wilde had been convicted, and for which he had been sent down, more than fifty years before." No jail for Turing, though: He instead ate a cyanide-laced apple in homage to a favorite movie, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, a gay martyr who had written of himself, sadly: "Turing believes machines think / Turing lies with men / Therefore machines do not think."Competent and always interesting, if a little cursory on some of the heavier mathematics.

Information Operations Doctrine and Practice or Mastering Financial Mathematics with Excel

Information Operations - Doctrine and Practice: A Reference Handbook

Author: Christopher Paul

A no-nonsense treatment of information operations, this handbook makes clear what does and does not fall under information operations, how the military plans and executes such efforts, and what the role of IO ought to be in the "war of ideas." Paul provides detailed accounts of the doctrine and practice of the five core information operations capabilities (psychological operations, military deception, operations security, electronic warfare, and computer network operations) and the three "related" capabilities (public affairs, civil-military operations, and military support to public diplomacy). The discussion of each capability includes historical examples, explanations of tools and forces available, and current challenges faced by that community. An appendix of selected excerpts from military doctrine ties the work firmly to the military theory behind information operations. Paul argues that contemporary IO's mixing of capabilities focused on information content with those focused on information systems conflates "apples" with the "apple carts." This important study concludes that information operations would be better poised to contribute to the war of ideas if IO were reorganized, separating content capabilities from systems capabilities and separating the employment of "black" (deceptive or falsely attributed) information from "white" (wholly truthful and correctly attributed) information.

Managing Software Requirements: A Use Case Approach (Addison-Wesley Object Technology Series)

Author: Dean Leffingwell

"Many projects fail because developers fail to build the right thing. Developers of any kind of application should read this book." —Grady Booch
"A comprehensive solution to the requirements challenges faced by every development team. Full of insight and ideas all developers can learn from." —Ivar Jacobson
Despite the wealth of development knowledge, experience, and tools available today, a substantial percentage of software projects fail, often because requirements are not correctly determined and defined at the outset, or are not managed correctly as the project unfolds. This second edition of the popular text Managing Software Requirements focuses on this critical cause of failure and offers a practical, proven approach to building systems that meet customers' needs on time and within budget.
Using an accessible style, their own war stories, and a comprehensive case study, the authors show how analysts and developers can effectively identify requirements by applying a variety of techniques, centered on the power of use cases. The book illustrates proven techniques for determining, implementing, and validating requirements. It describes six vital Team Skills for managing requirements throughout the lifecycle of a project: Analyzing the Problem, Understanding User Needs, Defining the System, Managing Scope, Refining the System Definition, and Building the Right System.

How to Photograph Absolutely Everything or Rick Steves Greece Turkey Israel and Egypt DVD 2000 2007

How to Photograph Absolutely Everything: Successful Pictures from Your Digital Camera

Author: Tom Ang

This comprehensive step-by-step guide to photographing an unbelievably wide range of subjects includes hundreds of inspirational images, each of which is accompanied by detailed step-by-step instructions. From sporting events and safaris to family gatherings and flowers, this is the most comprehensive photography manual ever assembled.

Daniel Lombardo - Library Journal

When Ang first began working professionally as a photographer and picture editor, digital photography was in its infancy. Today, it has removed the expense and inconvenience from picture taking and put the creative capability of a darkroom within reach of anyone with a computer. This author of 17 titles on video and photography has just published two landmarks for this particular time in an ever-changing field. How To Photograph Absolutely Everythingis the most useful and comprehensive book on the subject available for the nonprofessional. Ang begins with the elements of digital photography, from choosing equipment to framing images. Five chapters follow on how to photograph real-life situations and events, e.g., portraits, weddings, and sports events. Artistic expression (working with reflections, color, light, and abstract forms) and practical photography (for auctions, selling a car, and business promotion) round out the volume. Ang's Advanced Digital Photographyrevises a book first issued in 2003. Technically detailed yet clearly written, it's for the serious photographer or professional and remains a rich source for mastering the manipulation of digital images. Both books are highly recommended.
