This book can be presented in two different ways. Firstly, it introduces a particular methodology to build adaptive Web sites and secondly, it presents the main concepts behind Web mining and then applying them to adaptive Web sites. In this case, Adaptive Web Sites is the case study to exemplify the tools introduced in the text. The authors start by introducing the Web and motivating the need for adaptive Web sites. The second chapter introduces the main concepts behind a Web site: its operation, its associated data and structure, user sessions, etc. Chapter three explains the Web mining process and the tools to analyze Web data, mainly focused in machine learning. The fourth chapter looks at how to store and manage data. Chapter five looks at the three main and different mining tasks: content, links and usage. The following chapter covers Web personalization; a crucial topic if we want to adapt our site to specific groups of people. Chapter seven shows how to use information extraction techniques to find user behavior patterns. The subsequent chapter explains how to acquire and maintain knowledge extracted from the previous phase. Finally, chapter nine contains the case study where all the previous concepts are applied to present a framework to build adaptive Web sites. In other words, the authors have taken care of writing a self-contained book for people that want to learn and apply personalization and adaptation in Web sites. This is commendable considering the large and increasing bibliography in these and related topics. The writing is easy to follow and although the coverage is not exhaustive, the main concepts and topics are all covered.

Adobe AIR - это кросс-платформенная исполнительная среда для развертывания приложений Flash и Flex в качестве настольных или работающих в смешанном сетевом/автономном режиме. Поскольку они устанавливаются и выполняются локально, то имеют доступ к локальной файловой системе, что дает им преимущества над веб-приложениями. Приложения AIR могут при необходимости работать автономно, а когда появляется доступ к сети - в сетевом режиме.Авторы знакомят с важными функциями AIR API, а затем показывают, как на практике создаются приложения AIR. Подробно описывается, как создавать и настраивать системные окна, а также обмениваться данными с файлами локальной файловой системы или с базой данных. Благодаря тому что несколько мелких примеров объединены в один крупный проект, разрабатываемый на протяжении нескольких глав, читатель гтлавно осваивает основы и учится применять их для создания приложений в новом стиле «непостоянного подключения к сети». Уделено внимание тому, как AIR подключается к веб-сервисам и как связывает воедино Flex и JavaScript.Руководство по AIR написано для разработчиков, знакомых с Flash и/или Flex и стремящихся перейти от броузерных приложений к настольным. Книга хорошо иллюстрирована и содержит массу исходного кода, доступного для загрузки из сети Интернет.

С помощью Adobe Photoshop 5.5 вы сможете создать яркий запоминающийся образ и с одинаковой легкостью адаптировать дизайн к помещению его на сайт или к печати. Вместо адской смеси различных программ, необходимых для создания комплексного веб-дизайна, вы теперь можете обратиться к одному первоклассному продукту. Полиграфист, профессионально работающий с допечатными процессами, Веб-мастер или Веб-креатор - все найдут в Photoshop 5.5 набор инструментов для создания лучшего решения в своей области.

A Web server is the server software behind the World Wide Web. It listens for requests from a client, such as a browser like Netscape or Microsoft's Internet Explorer. When it gets one, it processes that request and returns some data. This data usually takes the form of a formatted page with text and graphics. The browser then renders this data to the best of its ability and presents it to the user. Web servers are in concept very simple programs. They await for requests and fulfill them when received.

Cisco Network Design Solutions for Small-Medium Businesses focuses on the vital networking solutions for small-medium business (SMB) environments: IP Telephony, wireless, security, unified messaging, routing/switching infrastructure, customer contact platforms, and more. Deploying a networking solution is a process that has varying approaches. The one-minute, do-it-yourself, plug-and-play, or drive-through approaches are valid under certain limited conditions. A more robust approach is based on a blueprint resulting from a design process that precedes the deployment. The latter approach considers the available technologies, incorporates the business strategy, defines the user requirements, and subjects the final design to the SMB's budgetary process to create a matching solution that scales and performs in support of the business mission. This book describes and recommends the latter approach when deploying the networking solutions that are explored within its pages.
