Mastering Perl

Publisher: O’Reilly Media, Inc.
Language: english
ISBN: 0596527241
Paperback: 342 pages
Data: July 16, 2007
Format: PDF

This is the third in O’Reilly’s series of landmark Perl tutorials, which started with Learning Perl, the bestselling introduction that taught you the basics of Perl syntax, and Intermediate Perl, which taught you how to create re-usable Perl software. Mastering Perl pulls everything together to show you how to bend Perl to your will. It convey’s Perl’s special models and programming idioms.

This book isn’t a collection of clever tricks, but a way of thinking about Perl programming so you can integrate the real-life problems of debugging, maintenance, configuration, and other tasks you encounter as a working programmer.

The book explains how to:
* Use advanced regular expressions, including global matches, lookarounds, readable regexes, and regex debugging
* Avoid common programing problems with secure programming techniques
* Profile and benchmark Perl to find out where to focus your improvements
* Wrangle Perl code to make it more presentable and readable
* See how Perl keeps track of package variables and how you can use that for some powerful tricks
* Define subroutines on the fly and turn the tables on normal procedural programming.
* Modify and jury rig modules to fix code without editing the original source
* Let your users configure your programs without touching the code
* Learn how you can detect errors Perl doesn’t report, and how to tell users about them
* Let your Perl program talk back to you by using Log4perl
* Store data for later use in another program, a later run of the same program, or to send them over a network
* Write programs as modules to get the benefit of Perl’s distribution and testing tools

Appendices include “brian’s Guide to Solving Any Perl Problem” to improve your troubleshooting skills, as well as suggested reading to continue your Perl education. Mastering Perl starts you on your path to becoming the person with the answers, and, failing that, the person who knows how to find the answers or discover the problem.

Security in Distributed, Grid, Mobile, and Pervasive Computing

Publisher: AUERBACH
Language: english
ISBN: 0849379210
Paperback: 440 pages
Data: April 17, 2007
Format: PDF

Despite recent dramatic advances in computer security regarding the proliferation of services and applications, security threats are still major impediments in the deployment of these services. Paying serious attention to these issues, Security in Distributed, Grid, Mobile, and Pervasive Computing focuses on the increasing demand to guarantee privacy, integrity, and availability of resources in networks and distributed systems. A rich and useful presentation of strategies for security issues, the book covers each computing area in separate sections. It first reviews security issues and challenges in content distribution networks, describes key agreement protocols based on the Diffie-Hellman key exchange and key management protocols for complex distributed systems like the Internet, and discusses securing design patterns for distributed systems. The next section focuses on security in mobile computing and wireless networks, covering wireless authentication methods, secure data aggregation, and anonymous routing protocol. After a section on grid computing security, the book presents an overview of security solutions for pervasive healthcare systems and surveys wireless sensor network security. With more and more vital information stored on computers, security professionals need to know how to combat threats and complications. Offering strategies to tackle these issues, this book provides essential security information for researchers, practitioners, educators, and graduate students in the field.

Lonely Planet Farsi (Persian) Phrasebook

Yavar Dehghani: Lonely Planet Farsi (Persian) Phrasebook
2001 | Pages: 253 | ISBN: 9780864425812 | PDF | 26 MB

From mystics to museums, barbers to bazaars, and art to archaeology, jump into the event with this phrasebook. Includes an extensive food section, transliterations throughout for easy pronunciation, a concise grammar section geared toward immediate and practical use, insider tips on culture and social etiquette, and a comprehensive two-way dictionary.
Yavar Dehghani was born in Iran. After completing a Bachelor degree in speech pathology and an MA in linguistics, he taught at universities in Tehran and Tabriz while writing several books on speech disorders and related areas. He has also translated several books from English into Persian.

Yavar completed a PhD in linguistics in Melbourne, and has published his thesis, A Grammar of Azari Including Comparisons with Persians (published by Lincom Europa). He’s currently lecturing at universities in Tehran.

amazon.com review:
Although this is a mini-sized paperback that could easily fit into your shirt pocket, it’s remarkably useful.

Each page typically has three columns: the leftmost is the English, the middle is the Farsi in romanized letters, and the right column is the Farsi in Arabic script. But it’s not merely a phrasebook: there are paragraphs scattered throughout to relieve the monotony.

For example, there are many, many notes on culture and linguistic usage. Considering how much information this book contains, it’s astonishing it’s so small. If the pages were made bigger, it could conceivably serve serve as a freshman-level text!

Really after studying from this I was impressed by how handy I became in Farsi, although in all honesty this is likely ascribable neither to my perspicacity nor the boon of this volume, but simply to the fact that Farsi is Indo-European, and so much of its grammar and sensibilities are readily apprehended by a Westerner.

But this book was a major help. When I reflect on how little it cost me versus how much use I got out of it, Lonely Planet’s “Farsi Phrasebook” may have been one of the most profitable purchases of my life.
