Linux Complete Command Reference by John Purcell - LINKS UPDATED

Linux Complete Command Reference 

by John Purcell

Compiled by Red Hat Software, Inc., the company that has assembled the most popular x86 installation of Linux, this command reference is massive, authoritative, and as complete as any reference can be.

In 1,500 pages of tiny print, this heavy-duty tome documents every command, utility, file system, library function, and administration tool in the operating system. Linux also features a detailed kernel reference guide and a good index. And if the print size bothers you, the entire contents of the book are included on the companion CD-ROM, along with the Unix version of the Adobe Acrobat reader. In Acrobat, you can adjust the font size to something more readable. If you're running a Linux system and acting as your own system administrator, Linux: Complete Command Reference is an indispensable reference.

 

Guide to Linux Certification - John Schitka, Jason W. Eckert

Guide to Linux Certification 

                              - John Schitka, Jason W. Eckert

This particular study guide is very strong on Linux installation, administration, X-Windows, networking, and most of the major areas where you really need to know what you are doing in order to pass the exam or work with a real world Linux system. On the other hand it is a little weak on the hardware side. While most people, including myself, feel that the book covers hardware sufficiently for learning Linux and using Linux in the real world, it is a Linux+ certification guide and so should cover hardware in the same detail required for the exam. The exam may include questions like showing four different interfaces and asking the test-taker to identify which one is a SCSI3 interface. This is not covered in that level of detail in the book. In my opinion that sort of question belongs on a hardware exam and not in a Linux+ exam, but the fact of the matter is that sort of question is on the exam and so should be covered in any exam preparation book. If this were a guide to learning and using Linux I would not treat this as a problem at all.
When comparing the book to other Linux+ study guides I consider it to be one of the top choices. The other recommended guide (from Sybex) doesn't do any better of a job in dealing with the hardware problem. This is a problem consistent throughout all the study guide books. It does use RedHat and include a copy, which is a positive point. And finally, it has one of the best indexes of all the Linux+ study guides. This can be very important if you don't pass the exam the first time and need to study some specific areas. If you are looking for a keyword that you were unsure about on the exam then you need to be able to look it up. For example, when I took the exam there were some basic questions on Squid and iptables. All you really needed to know was that Squid is a proxy server and iptables is related to firewall services. This is the only book I've reviewed that actually had entries in the index for Squid and iptables. The others had the information but no index entry and so no knowledge of where to look for the information. There is really no excuse for a poor index in any book that seeks to help the reader become certified and this is the one with the best index. If you want to pass the exam on the first try you should add a hardware book like one of the certification guides for the CompTIA A+ hardware exam. "Linux+ Guide to Linux Certification" is a recommended purchase for people new to Linux seeking to learn the system and pass the exam.

Beginning Java 7 - Jeff Friesen

Beginning Java 7 

                                 - Jeff Friesen

Beginning Java 7 guides you through this language and a huge assortment of platform APIs according to the following table of contents:

Chapter  1: Getting Started with Java
Chapter  2: Discovering Classes and Objects
Chapter  3: Exploring Advanced Language Features
Chapter  4: Touring Language APIs
Chapter  5: Collecting Objects
Chapter  6: Touring Additional Utility APIs
Chapter  7: Creating and Enriching Graphical User Interfaces
Chapter  8: Interacting with Filesystems
Chapter  9: Interacting with Networks and Databases
Chapter 10: Parsing, Creating, and Transforming XML Documents
Chapter 11: Working with Web Services
Chapter 12: Java 7 Meets Android
Appendix A: Solutions to Exercises
Appendix B: Scripting API and Dynamically Typed Language Support
Appendix C: Odds and Ends
Appendix D: Applications Gallery

Chapter 1 introduces you to Java and begins to cover the Java language by focusing on fundamental concepts such as comments, identifiers, variables, expressions, and statements.

Chapter 2 continues to explore this language by presenting all of its features for working with classes and objects. You learn about features related to class declaration and object creation, encapsulation, information hiding, inheritance, polymorphism, interfaces, and garbage collection.

Chapter 3 focuses on the more advanced language features related to nested classes, packages, static imports, exceptions, assertions, annotations, generics, and enums. Additional chapters will introduce you to the few features not covered in Chapters 1 through 3.

Chapter 4 largely moves away from covering language features (although it does introduce class literals and strictfp) while focusing on language-oriented APIs. You learn about Math, StrictMath, Package, Primitive Type Wrapper Classes, Reference, Reflection, String, StringBuffer and StringBuilder, Threading, BigDecimal, and BigInteger in this chapter.

Chapter 5 begins to explore Java's utility APIs by focusing largely on the Collections Framework. However, it also discusses legacy collection-oriented APIs and how to create your own collections.

Chapter 6 continues to focus on utility APIs by presenting the concurrency utilities along with the Objects and Random classes.

Chapter 7 moves you away from the command-line user interfaces that appear in previous chapters and toward graphical user interfaces. You first learn about the Abstract Window Toolkit foundation, and then explore the Java Foundation Classes in terms of Swing and Java 2D. Appendix C explores Accessibility and Drag and Drop.

Chapter 8 explores filesystem-oriented I/O in terms of the File, RandomAccessFile, stream, and writer/reader classes. New I/O is covered in Appendix C.

Chapter 9 introduces you to Java's network APIs, such as sockets. It also introduces you to the JDBC API for interacting with databases.

Chapter 10 dives into Java's XML support by first presenting an introduction to XML (including DTDs and schemas). It next explores the SAX, DOM, StAX, XPath, and XSLT APIs. It even briefly touches on the Validation API. While exploring XPath, you encounter namespace contexts, extension functions and function resolvers, and variables and variable resolvers.

Chapter 11 introduces you to Java's support for SOAP-based and RESTful web services. In addition to providing you with the basics of these web service categories, Chapter 11 presents some advanced topics, such as working with the SAAJ API to communicate with a SOAP-based web service without having to rely on JAX-WS. You will appreciate having learned about XML in Chapter 10 before diving into this chapter.

Chapter 12 helps you put to use some of the knowledge you've gathered in previous chapters by showing you how to use Java to write an Android app's source code. This chapter introduces you to Android, discusses its architecture, shows you how to install necessary tools, and develops a simple app.

Appendix A presents the solutions to the programming exercises that appear near the end of Chapters 1 through 12.

Appendix B introduces you to Java's Scripting API along with Java 7's support for dynamically typed languages.

Appendix C introduces you to additional APIs and architecture topics: Accessibility, ByteArrayOutputStream and ByteArrayInputStream, classloaders, Console, Desktop, Drag and Drop, Dynamic Layout, Extension Mechanism and ServiceLoader, File Partition-Space, File Permissions, Formatter, Image I/O, Internationalization, Java Native Interface, NetworkInterface and InterfaceAddress, New I/O (including NIO.2), PipedOutputStream and PipedInputStream, Preferences, Scanner, Security, Smart Card, Splash Screen, Stream Tokenizer, StringTokenizer, SwingWorker, System Tray, Timer and TimerTask, Tools and the Compiler API, Translucent and Shaped Window, and XML Digital Signature.

Appendix D presents a gallery of significant applications that demonstrate various aspects of Java.

Unfortunately, there are limits to how much knowledge can be crammed into a print book. For this reason, Appendixes A, B, C, and D are not included in this book's pages. Instead, these appendixes are freely distributed as PDF files. Appendixes A and B are bundled with the book's associated code file at the Apress website (http://www.apress.com).

Appendixes C and D are bundled with their respective code files on my TutorTutor.ca website at http://tutortutor.ca/cgi-bin/makepage.cgi?/books/bj7. Appendixes C and D are "living documents" in that I'll occasionally add new material to them. For example, I plan to expand Appendix C by also covering Java Naming and Directory Interface, Java Sound, Remote Method Invocation and Corba, Robot, Runtime and Process, Swing Timer, and many other APIs/architecture topics (including a complete tour of Swing components). Of course, it will take time to write about these topics so don't expect all of them to appear at once -- they will slowly emerge in coming months (although smaller topics such as Robot will emerge much faster).

What you’ll learn

• The entire Java language, including Java 7-specific features such as switch on string, try-with-resources, final rethrow, multicatch, and SafeVarargs
• A huge assortment of Java 7 APIs, beginning with those APIs oriented toward the language itself, and including Java 7-specific APIs such as the Fork/Join Framework, Objects, JLayer, and NIO.2 
• Various Java 7 tools, starting with the javac compiler and java application launcher
• How to create user interfaces, working with web services, and a whole lot more
• The basics of getting started with Android app development  

Who this book is for

This book targets the following groups of developers:

• Newcomers, skilled (to some degree) in other programming languages but with no previous exposure to Java
• Intermediate Java developers, skilled in the fundamentals of Java prior to Java 7 and looking to increase their understanding of Java 7 language/API changes
• All developers looking beyond standard Java, who want to leverage Java 7 to create mobile apps via Android
• Even advanced Java developers may find a few items of interest

Fundamentals of Digital Image Processing: A Practical Approach with Examples in Matlab - Chris Solomon, Toby Breckon

Fundamentals of Digital Image Processing: A Practical Approach with Examples in Matlab 

                                         - Chris Solomon, Toby Breckon 

 

This is an introductory to intermediate level text on the science of image processing, which employs the Matlab programming language to illustrate some of the elementary, key concepts in modern image processing and pattern recognition. The approach taken is essentially practical and the book offers a framework within which the concepts can be understood by a series of well chosen examples, exercises and computer experiments, drawing on specific examples from within science, medicine and engineering.
Clearly divided into eleven distinct chapters, the book begins with a fast-start introduction to image processing  to enhance the accessibility of later topics. Subsequent chapters offer increasingly advanced discussion of topics involving more challenging concepts, with  the final chapter  looking at the application of automated image classification (with Matlab examples) .
Matlab is frequently used in the book as a tool for demonstrations, conducting experiments and for solving problems, as it is both ideally suited to this role and is widely available. Prior experience of Matlab is not required and those without access to Matlab can still benefit from the independent presentation of topics and numerous examples.

Hitler's Master of the Dark Arts: Himmler's Black Knights and the Occult Origins of the SS - Bill Yenne

 

Hitler's Master of the Dark Arts: Himmler's Black Knights and the Occult Origins of the SS

                                                                                              - Bill Yenne

 

At the heart of the evil of Nazism was Hitler’s “witch doctor,” Heinrich Himmler, and his peculiar and deadly organization with the mundane name Schutzstaffel, literally “protective squadron.” Undoubtedly you know them better as the feared SS, the very essence of Nazism. Their threatening double lightning bolt is perhaps the most dreaded symbol of the Third Reich.

The facts of the SS’s origins are truly stranger than fiction. If you thought Raiders of the Lost Ark was an inspired Hollywood fiction, think again. Hitler's Master of the Dark Arts reveals the hidden “truths” of the SS in full and morbidly fascinating detail.

How to Become a Deadly Chess Tactician - David Lemoir

How to Become a Deadly Chess Tactician 

                                                                     - David Lemoir

Some chess-players always seem to have a trick up their sleeve. They spot unlikely-looking tactical tricks, launch cunning attacks from seemingly quiet positions and are unrelenting when the enemy king is in their sights. Even when things go wrong, they create practical chances and repeatedly finesse their way out of trouble. LeMoir shows that the key factors in becoming a deadly tactician are motivation, imagination, and calculation. Motivation is having the willingness to sacrifice and consider tactical ideas during play. Imagination is being aware of tactical concepts that lead to ideas which other players might miss. Calculation is being able to analyse and calculate effectively. This user-friendly and humorous book contains many outstanding examples of seized opportunities, together with guidance on how to spot surprising tactics and handle positions of material imbalance. Thoughout, there are exercises for readers to tackle.

Secrets and Lies: Digital Security in a Networked World - Bruce Schneier

Secrets and Lies: Digital Security in a Networked World 

                                                                    - Bruce Schneier

Whom can you trust? Try Bruce Schneier, whose rare gift for common sense makes his book Secrets and Lies: Digital Security in a Networked World both enlightening and practical. He's worked in cryptography and electronic security for years, and has reached the depressing conclusion that even the loveliest code and toughest hardware still will yield to attackers who exploit human weaknesses in the users. The book is neatly divided into three parts, covering the turn-of-the-century landscape of systems and threats, the technologies used to protect and intercept data, and strategies for proper implementation of security systems. Moving away from blind faith in prevention, Schneier advocates swift detection and response to an attack, while maintaining firewalls and other gateways to keep out the amateurs. Newcomers to the world of Schneier will be surprised at how funny he can be, especially given a subject commonly perceived as quiet and dull. Whether he's analyzing the security issues of the rebels and the Death Star in Star Wars or poking fun at the giant software and e-commerce companies that consistently sacrifice security for sexier features, he's one of the few tech writers who can provoke laughter consistently. While moderately pessimistic on the future of systems vulnerability, he goes on to relieve the reader's tension by comparing our electronic world to the equally insecure paper world we've endured for centuries--a little smart-card fraud doesn't seem so bad after all. Despite his unfortunate (but brief) shill for his consulting company in the book's afterword, you can trust Schneier to dish the dirt in Secrets and Lies.
