Networking For Dummies, 7th Edition

Networking For Dummies, 7th Edition
For Dummies; 7 edition | ISBN: 076457583X | November 5, 2004 | 424 pages | PDF

Networking for Dummies upholds the series’ proletarian tradition by entertainingly explaining local area networks (LAN) to the rest of us. Written with three different–but equally “clueless in technical matters;quot;–audiences in mind, Lowe’s book appeals to novice network users, novice network builder/administrators, and the managers who must finance the activities of the other two groups.
A large part of this book is devoted to user issues such as “Accessing a network drive from WordPerfect” and “What is a print job?” Other chapters explain the differences among the various network architectures and network operating systems. In addition, the book pays a lot of attention to troubleshooting, particularly for common problems.

For these reasons, Networking for Dummies makes a fine resource for people who are new to a networked environment. If you are a network administrator, you might want to get a copy (or three) of this book for the corporate library and refer it to all askers of brain-dead questions.

The book’s primary shortcoming is its ignorance of Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 and Novell IntranetWare. (Coverage of NT stops at version 3.51 and coverage of NetWare stops at version 4.1.) Still, lots of organizations still run these network operating systems, and if yours is one of them, this book may fit your needs admirably.

Macromedia Flash MX 2004 ActionScript: Training from the Source
Macromedia Press | ISBN: 0321213432 | November 19, 2003 | 776 pages | CHM

Sure, you can use Flash MX 2004 without being a master programmer, but as any Flash developer worth his or her salt will tell you, you’re not tapping all of its power unless you’re taking advantage of its scripting language “ActionScript 2.0″ which offers a more robust programming model and better object-oriented programming support than ever before. Here to take the fear factor out of learning it are Flash veterans and best-selling authors Derek Franklin and Jobe Makar, who demonstrate that scripting is an instinctual process you already know by translating real-life activities into ActionScript scripts. In these pages, you’ll find methodologies and techniques for building over 40 real-life Flash ActionScript projects, including sample games, — applications, Web sites, and more. New in this edition are coverage of ActionScript 2.0, Web services, Components, Printing, Video, and more.

C# Threading Handbook by Tobin Titus

C# Threading Handbook by Tobin Titus, Sandra Gopikrishna, Tejaswi Redkar, Srinivasa Sivakumar, Fabio Claudio Ferracchiati
Publisher: Wrox Press (February 2003) | ISBN-10: 1861008295 | CHM | 3 Mb | 300 pages

This book addresses the fundamental units of Windows and .NET programming - threads. A strong understanding of the role threads play in program execution, how multiple threads can interact in order to make efficient programs, and the pitfalls to beware of when developing multithreaded applications, are all core to a developer’s ability to develop effective C# programs. This book will cover how .NET applications are executed, the life cycle of a thread in .NET, how the .NET Framework uses threads, how threads work in an event-driven environment, how we can avoid race conditions and deadlocks, how the activity of multiple threads can be synchronized, and how to debug multithreaded applications. We finish it off by describing the creation of a multithreaded network application.
What is great about this book?
Threads are fundamental to the way GUI and server applications operate; if your code is running in a GUI, then you’re already writing code in a threaded environment. An ASP.NET page also runs in a threaded environment. This book aims to cover the tricky issues of threading in .NET, and particularly to do so from the perspective of C# developers. Threading is by nature not easy to grasp, but a necessary step towards mastery of programming for the .NET platform.
