| Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment
W. Richard Stevens
Addison-Wesley, June 1992 (First Edition), 744 pages, ISBN 0-201-56317-7 If you are an experienced C programmer with a working knowledge of UNIX, you cannot afford to be without this up-to-date tutorial on the system call interface and the most important functions found in the ANSI C library. Rich Stevens describes more than 200 system calls and functions; since he believes the best way to learn code is to read code, a brief example accompanies each description.
Building upon information presented in the first 15 chapters, the author offers chapter-long examples teaching you how to create a database library, a PostScript printer driver, a modem dialer, and a program that runs other programs under a pseudo terminal. To make your analysis and understanding of this code even easier, and to allow you to modify it, all of the code in the book is available via UUNET.
A 20-page appendix provides detailed function prototypes for all the UNIX, POSIX, and ANSI C functions that are described in the book, and lists the page on which each prototype function is described in detail. Additional tables throughout the text and a thorough index make Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment an invaluable reference tool that all UNIX programmers - beginners to experts - will want on their bookshelves.

 | Beginning ASP Databases
John Kauffman, David Buser, Thearon Willis, Kevin Spencer
Wrox Press, Inc., June 1999, 800 pages, English, ISBN 1861002726 Synopsis
Microsoft created Active Server Pages (ASP) to sew together a group of technologies for creating modern web sites, which can intelligently interact with the user at the front end and with servers and datastores at the back end. Among these technologies is ActiveX Data Objects (ADO), which allows easy, powerful and robust control of technologies that access datastores. This book explains the theory and practice of using ADO with ASP by presenting numerous examples, exercises, lists of common errors and quizzes. The emphasis is on the authors' proven teaching techniques and the presentation of the most commonly used features of ADO in ASP. If you read each chapter and do the exercises you will have a portfolio of several dozen data-intensive web pages of increasing complexity—a fine return on your investment.
From the Publisher
The publication is well suited to the following groups Readers of Beginning Active Server Pages 2.0 who want to make the next logical step and connect web sites to datastores. Programmers from the database community who now want to implement their solutions with a Web interface. These folks have plenty of experience with database programming, but want to translate that knowledge into ADO solutions in ASP pages.
Web designers with an education in graphics design or word processing and some sense of programming. These people can benefit from the book by learning how to take their visually appealing sites and give them the business power of database connectivity. AUTHORBIO:John Kauffman is a research scientist turned freelance consultant - dividing his time evenly between teaching, writing and programming, primarily in the areas of Visual Basic, Word macros, Access and Access Programming, and ASP. AUTHORBIO: Kevin Spencer started programming in C in the early '90's before moving on to Microsoft Visual FoxPro and Access. As Internet Database Connectivity technologies began to emerge from Microsoft he recognised the potential and learned them aswell. This programming background led to the creation of "Site Design by TAKempis," a company which specializes in Internet Database application programming with ASP/ADO. Kevin was made an MVP in 1997 and now combines his work commitments with authorial duties including articles about Microsoft FrontPage and ASP/ADO for several online magazines, including Wrox's ASP Today.

It also provides indepth coverage of template creation, exception handling, pointers and optimization techniques. The focus of the book is on ANSI C++ and so is compiler independent. C++ For Real Programmers is a revision of Secrets of the C++ Masters and includes a new appendix comparing C++ with Java.
The book comes with a 3.5" disk for Windows with source code.

 | MySQL and Java Developer's Guide
Mark Matthews, Jim Cole, Joseph D. Gradecki
Wiley, Februrary 2003, 432 pages, English, ISBN 0-471-26923-9 The first comprehensive guide to MySQL for Java developers
With more than three million users, MySQL is the most popular open source database server in the world. It is the most popular database server for Linux and also runs on Windows, Macintosh, FreeBSD, and many flavors of UNIX. Most developers have built MySQL applications using programming languages like C, PHP, and Perl, but three years ago the author of this book, Mark Matthews, created MM.MySQL, the Java driver for MySQL. Since then, MySQL AB has shown their support for Java developers by hiring Mark, adopting his driver, and re-releasing it as Connector/J. Now, Mark Matthews and team explain everything you need to build database applications with MySQL and Java.
This book is a complete and authoritative tutorial and reference on MySQL for Java and takes a hands-on, code-intensive approach so you can learn how to build sophisticated Web database applications. Matthews begins by reviewing the fundamentals of MySQL 3.x and 4.x, followed by:
- Details of how to use JDBC with MySQL for Java application, servlet, JSP, and EJB development
- Several sample database applications, including an Address and Fingerprint * Management system that uses servlets, and an Advanced Account Management system that uses EJBs
- MySQL and JDBC tuning techniques
- MySQL administration advice
- JDBC API reference specific to MySQL and Connector/J

 | PHP Black Book
Peter Moulding
Coriolis, October 2001, 880 pages, English & translations, ISBN 1588800539 The book on PHP. Speaking with just a little bias, this is the book to buy if you have any web or programming experience and want to learn PHP. Get the PHP Black Book now.
For people starting at the beginning, a book on HTML is step one toward setting up a web site. The next requirement is some knowledge of images with perhaps a little image editing experience. From there, proceed to an all in one book with chapters on browsers, web servers, Apache in particular and written for the operating system you use.
Once you have the concepts and have created a static HTML based web page, it is time to use PHP. The PHP Black Book assumes some programming experience although the language does not matter. PHP is easy to relate to Visual Basic, C and parts of Perl. I found moving from Visual Basic to PHP easier than moving from one version of Visual Basic to another.
The PHP Black Book includes enough information to use SQL and databases like MySQL. Most of the database examples use MySQL. There are chapters on International Web sites, server to server communications, XML, and all the important areas of Web site programming.

This visual, task-based guide gets users up and running with the basics of PHP, starting with basic syntax, testing scripts, working with variables, creating Web applications, and more. Throughout the book, sample scripts and projects show the reader just what they need to know, and a companion Web site offers every script available for downloading.
From the Critics
Designed for developers, this guide and reference covers the key concepts of PHP and explains the features of PHP version 4.04. Beginning with a basic overview, it moves on to cover syntax, testing scripts, working with variables, and creating Web applications. Along the way, sample scripts and projects illustrate major points. Ullman is a PHP programmer and Web designer. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) -BookNews
