Application Architecture for WebSphere Posted: 14 Sep 2011 05:59 AM PDT Book Description Architect IBM® WebSphere® Applications for Maximum Performance, Security, Flexibility, Usability, and Value Successful, high-value WebSphere applications begin with effective architecture. Now, one of IBM's leading WebSphere and WebSphere Portal architects offers a hands-on, best-practice guide to every facet of defining, planning, and implementing WebSphere application architectures. Joey Bernal shows working architects and teams how to define layered architectural standards that can be used across the entire organization, improving application quality without compromising flexibility. Bernal begins by illuminating the role of architecture and the responsibilities of the architect in WebSphere applications and SOA environments. Next, he introduces specific architectural techniques for addressing persistence, application performance, security, functionality, user interaction, and much more. Bernal presents a series of sample architectures drawn from his work with several leading organizations, demonstrating how architectures can evolve to support new layers and changing business requirements. Throughout, his techniques are specific enough to address realistic enterprise challenges, while still sufficiently high-level to be useful in diverse and heterogeneous environments. Coverage includes: Choosing persistence frameworks that serve business requirements without excessive complexity Avoiding persistence-related problems with performance, security, or application functionality Designing and deploying effective middle layers and dependent libraries within WebSphere Application Server Using WebSphere mechanisms and architectural techniques to avoid common security attacks such as SQL injection Improving performance with WebSphere Application Server caching, including Distributed Maps and Servlet/JSP fragment caching Using presentation frameworks to provide fast, robust, and attractive user interaction Incorporating portals that provide a standardized framework for merging multiple applications Joey Bernal is an Executive IT Specialist with IBM Software Services for Lotus. Senior Certified with IBM as an IT Specialist, he has an extensive background in designing and developing Web and Portal Applications. He often leads IBM teams that have assisted dozens of clients in leveraging WebSphere Portal to address architecture, design, and implementation challenges. A frequent speaker on WebSphere and portal topics, Bernal is coauthor of Programming Portlets, and hosts the developerWorks blog: WebSphere Portal in Action. Prior to joining IBM, he was Director of IT for an incentive and performance improvement company, and served as lead technical advisor and architect for high-profile Internet and intranet applications at several Fortune 500 companies.

Codin’ for the Web: A Designer’s Guide to Developing Dynamic Web Sites Posted: 14 Sep 2011 05:55 AM PDT Book Description EVEN THE MOST SKILLED WEB DESIGNERS can find the complexities of creating a full-functioned Web site to be a daunting task. Here to help designers create sites that not only work, but work well and are easy to update and maintain is an easy-to-read guide to Web programming basics from best-selling author Charles Wyke-Smith. Just as architects need to understand building materials and their properties, Web designers need to understand the code that serves as the foundation of their sites. Wyke-Smith ensures they do by teaching designers that all dynamic Web sites consist of essentially three components: a browser interface, Web server middleware, and a database. The guide covers everything from Web coding concepts and principles to building sites, designing visual interfaces, developing databases, developing middleware, ensuring a good user experience (through good code!), testing and debugging, and more. Create dynamic Web sites that provide real-time responses to user inputs Understand the basic structures of all coding languages, such as variables, functions, conditionals, loops, and objects Use the power of PHP to program the business rules of your site Learn techniques for validating forms to reject erroneous or malicious data Import and export data from other applications via at les Build and query database tables using SQL to manage the data generated by your site's activity Develop a simple content management system Develop a password-protected members-only area of your Web site Build a template-based Web site with dynamic navigation Book Details Paperback: 304 pages Publisher: New Riders Press (November 2006) Language: English ISBN-10: 0321429192 ISBN-13: 978-0321429193 Note: There is a file embedded within this post, please visit this post to download the file.

The Global Brain: Your Roadmap for Innovating Faster and Smarter in a Networked World Posted: 14 Sep 2011 05:41 AM PDT Book Description All the talk about “open innovation” and externally-focused innovation assumes that “one size fits all” in terms of what network-centric innovation is and how companies should harness external creativity. But the reality is that there is no one right way to master this tool. For instance, loosely governed community-based innovation projects are a very different animal from tightly-orchestrated development projects driven by a large firm. As the landscape of network-centric innovation becomes more diverse and more confusing, there is a desperate need to structure the landscape to better understand different models for network-centric innovation. This book brings clarity to the confusion. Further, it argues that managers cannot rely on anecdotal success stories they read about in the press to implement a network-centric innovation strategy. They need rigorous and analytical advice on what role their company should play in an innovation network, what capabilities they need to create, and how they need to prepare their organization for this significant shift in the innovation approach. This book offers a practical and detailed roadmap for planning and implementing an externally-focused innovation strategy.
