Sobell >http://www.awprofessional.com/titles/0201703130 > >A Practical Guide to Red Hat Linux 8 provides everyone from >new users to experienced programmers with the knowledge and >skills needed to master Linux. Written by best-selling >author Mark Sobell, this book is a clear, concise, and >logically organized tutorial and reference. Part I is a >comprehensive tutorial, introducing beginners to the basics >of GNU/Linux in general and to Red Hat version 8 >specifically. It explains logging on, basic utilities, >filesystem structure, and the shell; examples demonstrate >how each command works and what appears onscreen each step >of the way. Part II covers more advanced topics such as >graphical user interfaces (GUIs), networking, text editors, >the three major shells, including how to write shell >scripts, programming tools, and system administration. Part >III is a detailed reference to more than 85 GNU/Linux >utilities. >_________________________________ >Successful IT Project Delivery: Learning the Lessons of >Project Failure >David Yardley >http://www.awprofessional.com/titles/0201756064 > >The repeated failure of IT projects to deliver an adequate >return on investment remains a pressing concern in the >industry. In a climate where corporate development budgets >are being reviewed or even withdrawn, IT projects are no >longer seen as a means to deliver automatic benefits into >the organization. In Successful IT Project Delivery, author >and experienced IT consultant David Yardley examines the >causes of this catalog of underachievement and provides the >reader with an opportunity so often denied within their own >workplace -- to learn the lessons from project failure. >_________________________________ >Open Source Web Development with LAMP: Using Linux, Apache, >MySQL, Perl, and PHP >James Lee, Brent Ware >http://www.awprofessional.com/titles/020177061X > >Open Source Web Development with LAMP focuses on the most >important core material necessary so that developers can >"hit the ground running" and begin building applications >right away. This book presents a balanced overview of LAMP >technologies and allows the reader to decide which tool may >be appropriate for the particular task at hand. After a >general overview of Open Source technologies, the book >presents some general information about the Web before >moving on to cover structural, static, dynamic, and embedded >technologies. The coverage here provides a unique glimpse >into the strengths and weaknesses of each Open Source >technology and also acts as a reference guide for each >application. >_________________________________ >Effective Software Testing: 50 Specific Ways to Improve Your >Testing >Elfriede Dustin >http://www.awprofessional.com/titles/0201794292 > >Effective Software Testing explores fifty critically >important best practices, pitfalls, and solutions. Gleaned >from the author's extensive practical experience, these >concrete items will enable quality assurance professionals >and test managers to immediately enhance their understanding >and skills, avoid costly mistakes, and implement a >state-of-the-art testing program. This book places special >emphasis on the integration of testing into all phases of >the software development life cycle--from requirements >definition to design and final coding. >_________________________________ >DSDM, Second Edition: Business Focused Development >DSDM Consortium, Jennifer Stapleton >http://www.awprofessional.com/titles/0321112245 > >DSDM (the Dynamic Systems Development Method) has proved to >be one of the most successful frameworks for "Agile" >software development. The new edition of this classic >introduction to DSDM has been fully updated to reflect >recent changes in the framework and best practice in its >application. >_________________________________ >Configuration Management Principles and Practice >Anne Mette Jonassen Hass >http://www.awprofessional.com/titles/0321117662 > >Configuration management (CM) is an important, but often >neglected, practice that allows application developers and >project managers to better identify potential problems, >manage changes, and track the progress of software projects. >Configuration Management Principles and Practice explains >the elements and benefits of a sound CM strategy and shows >how to put that strategy into action. Through configuration >examples and recommendations drawn from the author's >considerable experience, this practical guide will help >readers to better manage and deliver projects. >_________________________________ >Java and JMX: Building Manageable Systems >Heather Kreger, Ward Harold, Leigh Williamson >http://www.awprofessional.com/titles/0672324083 > >Java is now used with increasing frequency to develop >mission-critical applications. Using Java Management >Extensions (JMX) is the key to managing those applications. >As JMX is increasingly accepted into the fields of embedded >systems, enterprise systems, and telephony, it is clear that >all Java developers will encounter JMX before long. Java(tm) >and JMX: Building Manageable Systems is the definitive guide >to JMX, combining an introduction to the technology with >extensive coverage that will make this book a favorite >reference. Much more than just an explanation of the JMX >specifications, this book can drastically reduce a reader's >JMX learning curve by explaining how to develop management >requirements and apply JMX to them. >_________________________________ >Service- and Component-based Development: Using the Select >Perspective and UML >Hedley Apperly, Ralph Hofman, Steve Latchem, Barry Maybank, >Barry McGibbon, David Piper, Chris Simons >http://www.awprofessional.com/titles/0321159853 > >Select Perspective, from Select Business Solutions, is a set >of best practices for software development that has evolved >over a decade into a world-class component-based development >(CBD) process. It is a blend of approaches from several >object-oriented methods, improved and adapted to meet the >new demands of CBD and Web Services. This book presents the >authors' distilled wisdom and best practice for the >construction of software systems using Select Perspective. >_________________________________ >Testing Embedded Software >Bart Broekman, Edwin Notenboom >http://www.awprofessional.com/titles/0321159861 > >Embedded systems are everywhere. Modern appliances from TVs >to mobile phones cannot function without them. Embedded >software has become a vital part of a growing range of >automotive, aerospace, biomedical and military systems. As >many of these applications are potentially life-threatening, >the need for rigorous software testing has never been more >compelling. This book provides a comprehensive and practical >overview of testing strategies for embedded software. >______________________________________________________ >Coming this February! >Firewalls and Internet Security, Second Edition >Repelling The Wily Hacker >by William R. Cheswick, Steven M. Bellovin, Aviel D. Rubin > >The long-awaited second edition of the classic resource for >Internet security is just about done. It's a complete >rewrite of the first edition.
