>***Essential CVS
>Order Number: 4591
>"Essential CVS" shows you how to apply order, using CVS, to the task of
>managing large quantities of documents, code, web site content, and
>more. The book covers basic concepts and usage of CVS, and features a
>comprehensive reference for CVS commands. You'll also find advanced
>information on automation, logging, branching and merging, and
>"watches." With Essential CVS you can have it all: the order that CVS
>brings and the comprehensive documentation you need.
>http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/cvs/
>
>Chapter 2, "CVS Quickstart Guide," is available online:

>***Learning Perl Objects, References & Modules
>Order Number: 4788
>"Learning Perl Objects, References & Modules" picks up where "Learning
>Perl" leaves off. The book offers a gentle introduction to the world of
>references, object-oriented programming, and the use of Perl modules.
>Like "Learning Perl," each chapter in "Learning Perl Objects" is
>designed to be small enough to be read in an hour or two, and each ends
>with exercises to practice what you've learned. This book covers
>everything that separates the Perl dabbler from the Perl programmer.
>http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/lrnperlorm/
>
>Chapter 3, "Introduction to References," is available online:
>http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/lrnperlorm/chapter/index.html

>technologies Sun Microsystems is creating to implement web services
>with Java. This book offers a succinct introduction and a handy
>reference to the Java/XML APIs, more commonly known as the Java Web
>Services Development Pack. Filled with practical information, the book
>provides Java developers with everything they need to know to use J2EE
>APIs for web services, as well as to program with JAX-RPC.
>http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/javawsian/
>
>Chapter 3, "SAAJ," is available online:

>
>***Packaged Composite Applications
>Order Number: 5520
>"Packaged Composite Applications" is the result of a systematic search
>through the brain trust of SAP for all of the relevant arguments,
>examples, concepts, and analogies related to Packaged Composite
>Applications (PCAs). The book combines the approach of a
>forward-looking analyst with the perspective of an executive who must
>make things work, without skimping on the relevant technical details.
>Learn about the ideas driving PCAs forward in the marketplace, and the
>problems and solutions that executives and technologists will encounter
>in implementation. http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/pkgcompaps/
>
>
>***Linux Security Cookbook
>Order Number: 3919
>"Linux Security Cookbook" is a system saver. It includes real solutions
>to a wide range of targeted problems, such as sending encrypted email
>within Emacs, restricting access to network services at particular
>times of day, firewalling a web server, preventing IP spoofing, setting
>up key-based SSH authentication, and much more. With over 150
>ready-to-use scripts and configuration files, this unique book helps
>administrators secure their systems without having to look up specific
>syntax.
>http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/linuxsckbk/
>
>Sample recipes from Chapter 9, "Testing and Monitoring," are available
>online:

>***A Musician's Take on File Sharing, DRM, and Copyleft Licensing
>Musicans can be a very adaptable community, and many are looking at
>online music and file sharing differently than the companies that often
>contract with them. Miriam Rainsford explores issues of P2P, DRM, and
>copyleft licensing from her musician point of view.

>***Using Regular Expressions and XML Classes to Parse Your Log Files
>Most systems these days can generate log files to store activity of the
>system. What about when you are asked to transform all that data into

>expressions and .NET's XML classes to turn your log files into a
>DataSet to allow you to search, sort, or report on your data
