The most widely used build tool for Java projects, Ant is cross-platform, extensible, simple, and fast. It scales from small personal projects to large, multi-team J2EE projects. And, most important, it’s easy to learn.

Java Development with Ant systematically explores what Ant can do, and how to apply it to your project. Whether you are new to Ant, or an experienced user, this book will show you powerful and creative uses for Ant. The book emphasizes basic concepts you need to know to effectively use Ant starting with Ant’s XML-driven build process. It leads you step-by-step through everything you need to know to compile, test, package and deploy an application. It then guides you through the maze of more complex situations common in larger projects such as enterprise Java applications and Web Services. With this book you will gain access to a powerful tool to automatically build, test and deploy your Java software, no matter how simple or complex it might be.

Data Mining With SQL Server 2005 With Source Code

File Size: 6.31 MB | Pages: 483 | Format: PDF | RS Link |

This book is an invaluable companion to SQL Server 2005 Data Mining. The authors explain the basic principles of each algorithm and visualization tool, and provide many hands-on examples. I am certain that many database developers, database administrators, IT professionals, and students of data mining will benefit from this book.

Data mining is about analyzing data and finding hidden patterns using automatic or semiautomatic means. During the past decade, large volumes of data have been accumulated and stored in databases. Much of this data comes from business software, such as financial applications, Enterprise Resource Management (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), and Web logs. The result of this data collection is that organizations have become data-rich and knowledge-poor. The collections of data have become so vast and are increasing so rapidly in size that the practical use of these stores of data has become limited. The main purpose of data mining is to extract patterns from the data at hand, increase its intrinsic value and transfer the data to knowledge.

Concealed inside your data warehouse and data marts is a wealth of valuable information just waiting to be discovered. All you need are the right tools to extract that information and put it to use. Serving as your expert guide, this book shows you how to create and implement data mining applications that will find the hidden patterns from your historical datasets. The authors explore the core concepts of data mining as well as the latest trends. They then reveal the best practices in the field, utilizing the innovative features of SQL Server 2005 so that you can begin building your own successful data mining projects.

Book Description:
FreeBSD and OpenBSD are increasingly gaining traction in educational institutions, non-profits, and corporations worldwide because they provide significant security advantages over Linux. Although a lot can be said for the robustness, clean organization, and stability of the BSD operating systems, security is one of the main reasons system administrators use these two platforms. There are plenty of books to help you get a FreeBSD or OpenBSD system off the ground, and all of them touch on security to some extent, usually dedicating a chapter to the subject. But, as security is commonly named as the key concern for today’s system administrators, a single chapter on the subject can’t provide the depth of information you need to keep your systems secure. FreeBSD and OpenBSD are rife with security “building blocks” that you can put to use, and Mastering FreeBSD and OpenBSD Security shows you how. Both operating systems have kernel options and filesystem features that go well beyond traditional Unix permissions and controls. This power and flexibility is valuable, but the colossal range of possibilities need to be tackled one step at a time. This book walks you through the installation of a hardened operating system, the installation and configuration of critical services, and ongoing maintenance of your FreeBSD and OpenBSD systems. Using an application-specific approach that builds on your existing knowledge, the book provides sound technical information on FreeBSD and Open-BSD security with plenty of real-world examples to help you configure and deploy a secure system. By imparting a solid technical foundation as well as practical know-how, it enables administrators to push their server’s security to the next level. Even administrators in other environments–like Linux and Solaris–can find useful paradigms to emulate. Written by security professionals with two decades of operating system experience, Mastering FreeBSD and OpenBSD Security features broad and deep explanations of how how to secure your most critical systems. Where other books on BSD systems help you achieve functionality, this book will help you more thoroughly secure your deployments.

The Book of PF: A No-Nonsense Guide to the OpenBSD Firewall
By Peter Hansteen

* Publisher:   No Starch Press
* Number Of Pages:   184
* Publication Date:   2008-01-11
* ISBN-10 / ASIN:   1593271654

* Binding:   Paperback

Book Description:

OpenBSD’s stateful packet filter, PF, offers an amazing feature set and support across the major BSD platforms. Like most firewall software though, unlocking PF’s full potential takes a good teacher. Peter N.M. Hansteen’s PF website and conference tutorials have helped thousands of users build the networks they need using PF. The Book of PF is the product of Hansteen’s knowledge and experience, teaching good practices as well as bare facts and software options. Throughout the book, Hansteen emphasizes the importance of staying in control by having a written network specification, using macros to make rule sets more readable, and performing rigid testing when loading in new rules.

Today’s system administrators face increasing challenges in the quest for network quality, and The Book of PF can help by demystifying the tools of modern *BSD network defense. But, perhaps more importantly, because we know you like to tinker, The Book of PF tackles a broad range of topics that will stimulate your mind and pad your resume, including how to:

* Create rule sets for all kinds of network traffic, whether it is crossing a simple home LAN, hiding behind NAT, traversing DMZs, or spanning bridges
* Use PF to create a wireless access point, and lock it down tight with authpf and special access restrictions
* Maximize availability by using redirection rules for load balancing and CARP for failover
* Use tables for proactive defense against would-be attackers and spammers
* Set up queues and traffic shaping with ALTQ, so your network stays responsive
* Master your logs with monitoring and visualization, because you can never be too paranoid

The Book of PF is written for BSD enthusiasts and network admins at any level of expertise. With more and more services placing high demands on bandwidth and increasing hostility coming from the Internet at-large, you can never be too skilled with PF.
