Allin, Jonathan Wireless Java for Symbian Devices (Symbian Press Series)
John Wiley and Sons Ltd 2001 0471486841 / 9780471486848 Paperback Near fine n/a Paperback
New. Near fine in publisher's slightly rubbed decorated wrappers. Available in our UK premises for prompt dispatch worldwide.Developed by a consortium of several major mobile-telephone manufacturers and licensed by nearly all the others, the Symbian operating system seems likely to be the OS running on the next generation of mobile communications devices. Wireless Java for Symbian Devices explains why the Java programming language is similarly likely to appeal to programmers having the task of providing services to users of Symbian devices. This book is a guide for competent Java programmers who need to know how Java works under Symbian, and want to learn by working through some illustrative examples (beginning with Hello World and working up in complexity from there).... The authors--who work for Symbian--do a good job of revealing their environment's capabilities, and leave their readers feeling prepared to dive in and do less academic development work. Code samples and class diagrams help clarify systems' workings, and explanatory prose is generally lucid. Helpfully, the authors go beyond mere explanation of APIs and show how to build full applications, including a multiuser card game and a chat-and-whiteboard tool. As with any emerging technology, though, readers may wonder how the examples will pan out outside the emulator, in a production environment. Only time and experience will tell. For now, this book represents a good value for people who want to scope out Java's behavior under the Symbian OS before the combination goes big-time. --David Wall ... Topics covered: How to program applications in Java for execution under Symbian OS version 6.0 (both the Quartz and Crystal implementations are dealt with). Sections address the JavaPhone APIs, Java Services, and the special security and efficiency requirements of mobile software. ... "...aimed at developers who are creating Java applications for Symbian OS phones and other constrained devices." (SciTech Book News, Vol. 25, No. 4, December 2001) ... "you should find space on your Java bookshelf for this book." (Wireless Developers Network, 16 April 2002)á ... "...a readable document, even for beginners..." (Forum Nokia, 6 March 2003)

Mark Minasi Mastering Windows XP Professional (Mastering)
John Wiley & Sons 2002-05-13 0782141145 / 9780782141146 Paperback Near fine n/a Paperback
Near fine in publisher's decorated wrappers. Available in our UK premises for prompt dispatch worldwide.The risk Mark Minasi takes in Mastering Windows XP Professional is in attempting to cover a shockingly broad swathe of knowledge. He begins with instructions for manipulating (maximizing, minimizing, and closing) windows and concludes with making static entries in the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache for speedier routing. That's like writing a manual for an automobile that begins with opening the passenger-side door, goes all the way through driving and routine maintenance, and concludes with instructions for tweaking the fuel-injection system for a tiny horsepower gain. Does he pull it off? By and large, yes, if you adopt the philosophy that this book isn't sacred writ and is meant only to clarify details as you develop understanding of Windows XP for yourself. Stuck on how to "print to a file," and why you'd want to do that? There's a succinct passage on that subject. Considering broadband Internet options? Minasi summarizes the pros and cons of each nicely. Large subjects that require knowledge of subjects outside of Windows--like scripting for the Windows Script Host (WSH), which is a kind of programming--are a hard fit for encyclopedic books like this one. They deserve (and have) books of their own, and the distilled entry in this omnibus is bound to seem either too elementary to be useful or too obscure to be understood. The problem with this book is that it's better suited to novice and moderately experienced computer users who should be using Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, not the more feature-rich Professional version. Users of Windows XP Professional probably won't need to be told how to shut their machines off but may well want detailed coverage of how to configure Internet Information Services (IIS), a subject to which Minasi gives only two pages. Though it's not for power users or administrators of Windows XP Professional, this book is a good choice for users of Windows XP Home Edition, as well as novices who have had Professional forced upon them by a corporate computing department. --David Wall Topics covered: Nearly all everyday aspects of Windows XP Professional (like Internet connectivity, formatting and printing, and local-area network hookups) and many more advanced subjects (like firewalling, Registry editing, scripting, and security configuration). New features like fax services, system rollback, and the handy photo viewer are dealt with nicely. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition. Product Description Premier resource for anyone installing, configuring, and administering Windows XP, whether as part of a corporate network or for home or small business use. New topics include: Web and FTP servers, scripting, the Microsoft Management Console and Services, and security. Softcover.

Massiglia, Paul Highly Available Storage for Windows Servers (VERITAS Series)
John Wiley & Sons Inc 2002 0471034444 / 9780471034445 Hardcover Near fine n/a Hardcover
New. Near fine in publisher's decorated laminated boards. Available in our UK premises for prompt dispatch worldwide.Highly available storage... is there another kind worth having? Highly Available Storage for Windows Servers describes proper design, implementation, and management of high-performance hard disk systems based on Microsoft Windows 2000 and Veritas Volume Manager. It's one of the few published documents on the Veritas system around, but that's not the only reason to consider Paul Massiglia's work. He does a great job of explaining what it means for a system's data store to be highly available, and pinpoints potential trouble areas (from the physical platters on up) that can keep systems from that ideal.... He also deserves commendation for explaining some of the supporting technologies--server clustering and RAID systems--that make high availability of disk data possible. With an increasing number of shops implementing more coherent storage-management policies, a growing number of administrators need to add storage systems to their bag of tricks. This book clarifies many essentials for such people.... Massiglia doesn't appear to be a bulletproofing zealot. Rather than place data safety above all else, he seems to do a reasonable job of balancing requirements (performance, safety, and money) against one another. He and his editors have also done a good job of illustrating their potentially dull subject. Nearly every page has at least one illustration (most illustrations are screen shots), and the explanatory prose is crisp and illuminating. --David Wall ... Topics covered: How to build and operate storage subsystems for reliable servers, using RAID, the clustering variants of Microsoft Windows 2000, and Veritas Volume Manager. This is mostly Veritas documentation, but there's good coverage of disk concepts and of server cluster provisioning rules, as well. ... The first how-to guide for online storage management with Windows 2000 In this book, expert Paul Massiglia first provides a clear tutorial on the principles of managed online storage and then walks you through the basics of how to manage your disks and RAID arrays in the Windows 2000 server environment. He provides all the information system administrators need to take advantage of Windows 2000's powerful new capabilities for handling large numbers of disks and RAID subsystems. Using both the embedded capabilities of the Windows 2000 operating system, VERITAS Volume Manager--the de-facto standard for application storage--and other working examples, Massiglia clearly illustrates how to organize disks so that all application data can be given the right balance of availability, I/O performance, and online storage cost. Readers will learn about online storage architectures, failure and non-failure tolerant volumes, RAID, online disks, and creating and managing volumes.
