Computer Systems: A Programmer’s Perspective, 2nd Edition Posted: 07 Feb 2012 06:28 PM PST Book Description For Computer Systems, Computer Organization and Architecture courses in CS, EE, and ECE departments. Few students studying computer science or computer engineering will ever have the opportunity to build a computer system. On the other hand, most students will be required to use and program computers on a near daily basis. Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective introduces the important and enduring concepts that underlie computer systems by showing how these ideas affect the correctness, performance, and utility of application programs. The text’s hands-on approach (including a comprehensive set of labs) helps students understand the "under-the-hood" operation of a modern computer system and prepares them for future courses in systems topics such as compilers, computer architecture, operating systems, and networking.

Axure RP 6 Prototyping Essentials Posted: 07 Feb 2012 10:33 AM PST Book Description Wireframes, interactive prototypes, and UX specifications are among the fundamental deliverables of every UX project. They are also the most labor and time intensive to produce due to constant changes in business requirements. Given these circumstances, Axure is quickly taking over as the preferred tool for prototyping. However, prototyping in Axure is strikingly different from the conventional method of producing static wireframes and to rapidly develop interactive prototypes in Axure, you'll need to have a good understanding of the tool and its features. Whether you are an individual practitioner or a member of a UX team, a consultant, or an employee, this book will teach you how to use Axure, one of the leading UX tools. You will learn to use Axure for producing top-quality deliverables and tackling the demands of rapid iterative UX projects of any complexity and size, and for any platform and device. Axure RP 6 Prototyping Essentials takes a very pragmatic approach to showing you how to use Axure and produce impressive deliverables while saving labor and time. You may not be in a position to change how projects are scheduled, budgeted, and managed, but you can be more creative and productive by mastering one of the leading UX tools in the market. After an initial introduction to Axure's user interface, terminology, and features, this book walks you through a medium-size UX project: a digital library that sells books, newspapers, and movies. Although some aspects of the prototyping process are simplified for the sake of clarity and efficiency, the demo project is an opportunity to discuss in context and in sequence topics such as addressing business and technical requirements, handling use cases and flow diagrams, low and high fidelity wireframe construction, interactivity, writing annotations, generating detailed UX specifications, and traceability. For the most part, Axure 6 RP Prototyping Essentials can be read in sequence or used as a reference guide. What you will learn from this book Learn the essential principles of prototyping Construct well-formed wireframes Create interactive prototypes in low and high fidelity Manage iterative design workflow Annotate and generate UX specifications documents Team work: Develop UX prototypes using Axure's collaboration features Use and create custom widgets and libraries for interaction and visual design patterns Plan and organize your prototype to support complex, multiple-phased projects Approach Axure RP 6 Prototyping Essentials is a detailed, practical primer on the leading rapid prototyping tool. Short on jargon and high on concepts, real-life scenarios and step-by-step guidance through hands-on examples, this book will show you how to integrate Axure into your UX workflow. Who this book is for This book is written for UX practitioners, business analysts, product managers, and anyone else who is involved in UX projects. The book assumes that you have no or very little familiarity with Axure. It will help you if you are evaluating the tool for an upcoming project or are required to quickly get up to speed in a project you just joined. The book assumes some familiarity with the principles of the User Centred Design methodology.

JBoss ESB: Beginner’s Guide Posted: 07 Feb 2012 10:33 AM PST Book Description You may often have wondered if there is a better way to integrate disparate applications than error-prone “glue code”. JBoss ESB is just that solution as it can help solve common but difficult problems: writing new code that can be re-used and maintained, and integrating together new and old systems. JBoss ESB takes care of routing and processing service requests, leaving you to concentrate on your system’s design and development. The JBoss ESB Beginner's Guide gets you up and running quickly with JBoss ESB to build your own service-based applications, with enhanced communication and organization. You will learn how to create new applications or to integrate combinations of new and legacy applications. Detailed examples get you creating your own services, and deploying and administering them with other JBoss Open Source tools. Through hands-on examples, this book shows you how JBoss ESB enables you to design your system as services that are loosely coupled together by sending and receiving messages. Your services can execute your own custom code, or make use of JBoss ESB's extensive set of out-of-the-box actions to perform specific tasks. The JBoss ESB Beginner's Guide shows you the tools you can use to build re-usable and maintainable service-based applications with JBoss ESB, and teaches you by example how to use these tools. What you will learn from this book Install, configure, administer, start and stop the JBoss Application Server (AS) and then deploy JBoss ESB onto JBoss AS. Run the JBoss ESB example "quickstart" sample applications, so that you understand the applications' output, and how to debug the JBoss ESB application failures Build custom JBoss ESB applications with JBoss ESB's out-of-the-box actions or your own action code Use a service registry to provide access to your services and store and access your metadata Integrate your custom application with other applications through the protocols supported by JBoss ESB gateway listeners See how the behavior of services can alter through content-based routing and message transformation Use other JBoss open source projects such as the JBoss AS and JBDS with JBoss ESB to create, deploy, and administer services Integrate existing web services with your applications' services over JBoss ESB Approach Part of Packt's Beginner's Guide series, each chapter contains practical examples with step-by-step instructions and plenty of screenshots to guide you through the implementation of JBoss ESB. Who this book is for This book is intended for Java programmers although you don't need previous experience with middleware such as application servers or ESBs.
