By using IBM Rational ClearCase, development teams can dramatically improve their productivity and responsiveness throughout the entire software lifecycle. Now, there's an easy-to-use ClearCase deployment guide for every team member: project managers, analysts, developers, and software customers.

The authors are developers of network and web server software for IBM. They specifically target performance issues related to C++ programming. The primary topics of discussion are constructors & destructors, virtual functions, return value optimization, temporary objects, inlining, memory managers, and reference counting. Learn how to create efficient constructor functions. Learn how to avoid the costly construction of temporary objects. The authors promote "lazy evaluation" and nail "useless computations" and "obsolete code." Algorithm and data structure discussions are referred to other standard references, however there is coverage of the STL structures (insertion, deletion, traversal, and find operations). An additional bonus is the excellent coverage of multithreading issues.

This unified treatment of curve and surface design concepts is the Fourth Edition of the popular text, Curves and Surfaces for Computer-Aided Geometric Design, Third Edition (Academic Press, 1992). Assuming only a background in calculus and basic linear algebra, this revised and updated classic is highly accessible and should be of interest to a wide audience; from computer graphics hobbyists to software developers for CAD/CAM systems. The author's informal style makes this book very reader-friendly, and the IBM disk included in the back of the book will allow the user to gain first-hand experience with the concepts as they are explained. This book focuses on Bezier and B-spline methods for curves, rational Bezier and B-spline curves, geometric continuity, spline interpolation, and Coons methods. In this Fourth Edition, the content has been thoroughly revised and updated to include a new chapter on recursive subdivision, new material on nonrectangular topology, surface faceting, stereo lithography, and new sections on triangulations and scattered data interpolants. The disk provided in the back of the book has also been updated to include all of the data sets and the C code used in the book.

After walking through the installation of the WebSphere portal server on Windows 2000, Linux, Solaris, and AIX, this guide for offers ideas for establishing a portal site's unique look and feel, introduces the portlet API, and more.

Fundamentally, computers just deal with numbers. They store letters and other characters by assigning a number for each one. There are hundreds of different encoding systems for mapping characters to numbers, but Unicode promises a single mapping. Unicode enables a single software product or website to be targeted across multiple platforms, languages and countries without re-engineering. It's no wonder that industry giants like Apple, Hewlett-Packard, IBM andMicrosoft have all adopted Unicode.

Internet сейчас очень распространен во многих странах. Из задач для серьезных людей работа с компьютерными сетями переходит в категорию самых обычных дел, вроде просмотра телевизора. Internet имеет необычно высокое освещение в печати, сейчас идут даже исследования новой "Internet-культуры". Конечно, работа с сетями была доступна давно. Соединение компьютеров, чтобы формировать локальные сети, было общей практикой даже в маленьких организациях. Но действительно широкое распространение сети получили с появлением Internet. Создание хоста Internet с поддержкой почты и новостей, предоставляющего dialup-доступ, стало относительно простым, а появление ISDN только ускорило процесс. Сейчас развиваются еще две технологии скоростного доступа DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) и Cable Modem. Разговор о компьютерных сетях часто означает обсуждение системы Unix. Конечно, Unix не единственная операционная система с сетевыми возможностями, и она не будет оставаться лидером навсегда, но сейчас она безусловный лидер. Что делает Unix особенно интересной частным пользователям, так это активность по созданию свободных систем на ее основе для PC, например 386BSD, FreeBSD и Linux. Linux свободно распространяемый аналог Unix для персональных компьютеров. Она в настоящее время выполняется на ряде машин, включая Intel, системы на базе Motorola 680x0 (например, Commodore Amiga и Apple Macintosh), Sun SPARC, Ultra-SPARC, Compaq Alpha, MIPS, PowerPC (новое поколение Apple Macintosh) и даже на системах StrongARM (rebel.com Netwinder и 3Com Palm). Linux была перенесена и на ряд не слишком распространенных платформ, например, Fujitsu AP-1000 и IBM System 390. Но этот процесс не закончен. Идут работы по переносу данной системы на другие архитектуры. Linux была разработана большой группой добровольцев через Internet. Проект был начат в 1990 году студентом колледжа в Финляндии Линусом Торвальдсом (Linus Torvalds). На сегодняшний день Linux представляет собой полнофункциональный клон Unix. Много аппаратных средств поддерживаются, и Linux содержит полную реализацию TCP/IP-стека для работы с сетями, включая SLIP, PPP, firewall, полную поддержку IPX. ОС Linux распространяется по лицензии GNU General Public License. Эта лицензия позволяет любому желающему распространять или переделывать программное обеспечение (бесплатно или для прибыли) пока все модификации и дистрибутивы также свободно распространяются. Термин "free software" (свободное программное обеспечение) относится к свободной модификации программ, а не к их бесплатности. Как раз наоборот, на таком программном обеспечении немало фирм зарабатывают хорошие деньги.

If you are unfamiliar with how standards are developed, the history of the Rexx Standard may give some insight. The idea of a standard was first promoted by Linda Green, the IBM representative to the SHARE organization at the time. There was enthusiasm for the idea at the very first Rexx Symposium, which allowed Linda to make a case to the authorities, who allowed Linda to convene the first meeting. This was attended by several of the parties with a producer or user interest in Rexx and they "bootstrapped" themselves to being a committee by suggesting Brian Marks as chairman, a choice subsequently endorsed by the Information Technology Industry Council which administers this class of standard.
