Managed DirectX 9 Kick Start: Graphics and Game Programming

Managed DirectX was released with the latest version of the core DirectX libraries in DirectX9. It enables developers using the new .NET languages (i.e. C#, VB.NET, etc.) to develop rich multimedia applications with DirectX. Unfortunately the Managed DirectX runtime was released without adequate documentation, and developers are having a hard time figuring out the best way to write managed applications. This book covers how to use the Managed DirectX objects, how they differ from the core DirectX libraries, and how to create these rich multimedia applications in C#. It also covers in depth graphics techniques and the new high-level shader language shipping with DirectX9.

This book assumes that the reader is already minimally competent in Object-Oriented Software Development and has some experience of implementation using C++ or Java. (If you are reading this preface with a view to starting to learn Software Development, and Java, from scratch, you should be reading the preface of my Java: An Object First Approach book instead.) This book is intended to allow readers with this minimal competence to obtain an initial competence in the skills involved in using the Java Abstract Windowing Toolkit (AWT) to develop applets and applications which have a Graphical User Interface (GUI).

Gas Turbines: A Handbook of Air, Land and Sea Applications

No other current publication offers the professional engineer or technician the wealth of useful guidance on nearly every aspect of gas turbine design, installation, operation, maintenance and repair as this book does. Gas Turbines makes the job of any engineer involved in the design, selection, operation and maintenance of most nearly any type of gas turbine more efficient and more successful.
The book offers the reader a "big picture" view of how to make the right decisions when planning what type of gas turbine to use for a particular application, taking into consideration not only operational requirements but long-term life-cycle costs in upkeep and repair and future usage.

Concise overviews of all important theoretical bases in thermodynamics and fluid dynamics upon which gas turbine engines depend are presented. The author is an experienced industry consultant, with experience at such leading manufacturers of gas turbines as GE and Rolls Royce and relates how factors affect proper design, correct selection and specifications, and long-term successful operation for the application in question.

The book offers professional engineers hard-to-find manufacturer's data with extensive interpretation and explanation :
• Overview of major components, with a brief history of theory and development
• Important maintenance-related chapters
• Unique offering of manufacturer's specifications and performance criteria and future trends
• One-of-a-kind guidance on the economics and business management of turbine selection, as well as on installation and instrumentation/calibration

Applications Interface Programming Using Multiple Languages: A Windows Programmer's Guide

Applications Interface Programming Using Multiple Languages: A Windows Programmer's Guide
Prentice Hall | ISBN: 0131003135 | 2003 | CHM | 864 pages | 13.16 MB

This book addresses the need for interfaces, or bridges, between the multiple popular programming languages. With the development of the advanced computer controls and applications, the single programming language sometimes has a limitation for today's complicated projects. Programmers will frequently be working with multiple programming languages at a time and, currently, do not have a "bridge" language to tie things together. They spend countless work hours either converting code or working simultaneously on 2 (or more) different languages at once. To solve this problem and to utilize the advantages of multiple languages, an interface is needed to set a bridge between the different languages. The programming languages covered in this book include: C/C++ and Visual C++ 6.0, Visual Basic 6.0, Java 1.2 and 1.3, Perl, LabView, LabWindows/CVI and Measurement Studio, Matlab, Matlab C/C++ Math library, Matlab compiler and Matlab Graphic library, and SmallTalk. Practical and hands-on programming examples are provided with each project in the book. All program examples, which are stored in the attached CD-ROM, have been tested, debugged and applied in the actual projects. Readers can easily select the examples to suit their special needs.

Oracle DBA SQL Quick Reference

Robert Cordingley, Oracle DBA SQL Quick Reference
Prentice Hall | ISBN: 0131403036 | 2003 | CHM | 560 pages | 4.54 MB

Most Oracle DBAs spend the majority of their time each day doing pretty much the same things they do every other day, which is great, since they don't have any problem remembering the syntax and commands they want to use. But for the rest of their time, they're doing something they may only do once every few months - and that's the time they need help. Not from a huge instructional manual, or awkward online documentation - they have plenty of both and will use them when they need to. What DBA's really need is a simple, small, single volume quick reference that will remind them of the syntax and options of a command they rarely use, or give them a quick reminder of the available views and tables that make up a DBAs life.

Ajax in Oracle JDeveloper

Deepak Vohra,"Ajax in Oracle JDeveloper"
Springer (4-2008) | PDF | 224 pages | ISBN:3540775951 | 18.7Mb

Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) is a web technique used to transfer data between a browser and server asynchronously without posting the web page to the server. "Asynchronously" implies that the processing of the web page continues while the Ajax request is sent to the server and a response is received from the server. The web page, or section(s) of the web page, is refreshed with the Ajax response without reposting the web page. Ajax has the following advantages over non-Ajax web applications.
- Reduced response time and reduced server load, as the complete web page is not reposted.
- Reduced bandwidth of web applications as only data is transferred and the HTML format is applied in the browser.
- Separation of data, format and style.
The book covers web search and RSS Feed with Ajax as well as form validation with Ajax frameworks for Java, JSP, JSF, and PHP. It discusses using Ajax in Oracle JDeveloper and is IDE based. JDeveloper has the following advantages over Eclipse IDE.
- JDeveloper 11g provides an integrated JavaScript Editor for Ajax/Web development.
- It also provides a PHP extension.
- JDeveloper has a built-in support for JSF and for JDBC.

Sage Publications Ltd | 2008 | ISBN: 1412908590, 1412908582 | 208 pages | PDF | 1 MB

This book is an introduction and guide to the dramatic changes that have occurred in the provision of public services over the last two decades. The authors combine theoretical perspectives with a global range of case studies from Europe, North America, and other areas to explain why, how, and with what success liberal democracies have reformed the service role of the state.

Reviews 'A broad-ranging and highly intelligent account of key recent developments internationally which skillfully updates the public management and governance literatures' - Ewan Ferlie, Royal Holloway
'Public management has been radically changed and reformed... this book gives students a fine introduction to these changes and to the theories dealing with them' - Jørgen Grønnegaard Christensen, University of Aarhus

An introduction and guide to the dramatic changes that have occurred in the provision of public services over the last two decades, this book combines theoretical perspectives with a range of case studies from Europe, North America and further afield to explain why, how and with what success liberal democracies have reformed the service role of the state.

The book pays close attention to four major dimensions of this transition:

" External challenges and opportunties: globalisation and EU integration

" Reducing the role of the state: Liberalisation, privatisation, regulation and competition policy

" Improving the role of the state: New Public Management, e-Government and beyond

" Managing the New Public Sector: organisations, strategy and leadership

This text is designed for undergraduate courses in public governance, but it also addresses the core components of MPA programmes - the parameters, tools, principles and theories of public sector reform.
