Open Source Licensing
I purchased this book 18 months ago, along with two other references. Since that time, I have learned that when I have a question, this is the book to turn to first. In fact, I haven’t read the others since first buying them.
This week we had a request to license some code under the CPL. Not only does this book cover that license, but it has a chapter interpreting each of the clever sections, and its repercussions.
As both a licensee and licensor, I have yet to come across an issue which this book did not address. It is the single volume you need.
Moving to Linux, Second Edition
you are screwed. Linux has come a long way since I
learned UNIX last decade, before it got (a) GUI. This
might be a great book, but to use it you REALLY need
the accompanying CDROM. Mine didn’t work; the author’s
website tells you to ask the publisher for a replacement.
After a month, I’m still waiting… (There are frequent
complaints about this problem on that website, BTW.)
Hacker Web Exploitation Uncovered
A description and analysis of the vulnerabilities caused by programming errors in Web applications, this book is written from both from the attacker’s and security specialist’s perspective. Covered is detecting, investigating, exploiting, and eliminating vulnerabilities in Web applications as well as errors such as PHP source code injection, SQL injection, and XSS. The most common vulnerabilities in PHP and Perl scripts and methods of exploiting these weaknesses are described, information on writing intersite scripts and secure systems for the hosted sites, creating secure authorization systems, and bypassing authorization. Uncovered is how attackers can benefit from the hosted target and why an apparently normal-working application might be vulnerable.

There is no better path to the successful implementation of a new technology than to follow in the experienced footsteps of an organization that has already been there. The Road to IP Telephony tells you how Cisco Systems successfully moved its own organization to a converged, enterprise-wide network. You will learn the implementation and operational processes, what worked, what didn’t work, and how to develop your own successful methodology. After presenting this topic to hundreds of Cisco customers, including Fortune 500 companies, Stephanie Carhee consistently encountered the same question, “If I decide to move to IP Telephony, where do I begin and what can I do to ensure that I do it right the first time?” Although the needs of every enterprise are different, some things are universal; planning, communication, teamwork, and understanding your user’s requirements are as important as technical expertise. The Road to IP Telephony shares with you everything you need to know about managing your deployment. It starts with where to begin, including what needs to be addressed before you even begin the planning process, to building your project team. Key best practices are also offered to help you set the project’s pace and schedule, get your users on board, identify a migration strategy, develop a services and support strategy, and work toward the final PBX decommission.
“Cisco IT wants to share its implementation experience with Cisco customers and partners to aide in the deployment practices of new Cisco technologies. While conducting our own company-wide cutover, we learned a great deal about what to do and what not to do. This book shares our experiences.”-Brad Boston, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer, Cisco Systems, Inc.
This volume is in the Network Business Series offered by Cisco Press. Books in this series provide IT executives, decision makers, and networking professionals with pertinent information on today’s most important technologies and business strategies.
Java(TM) Native Interface: Programmer’s Guide and Specification
Written for the experienced Java developer, The Java Native Interface documents the latest in native code programming for the Java platform using the Java Native Interface (JNI) with C/C++. Author Sheng Liang built the book around “dos and don’ts,” even specifying within the introduction when you should and when you should not use JNI. Though sometimes densely written, this title certainly conveys a good deal of technical information on using native code with Java.
After a simple JNI “Hello World” code example, this book explores multiple aspects of the JNI API, starting with the use of Java strings and arrays within native code. Liang follows by transitioning into calling Java members and methods in C/C++. Here the author presents caching strategies for improving the performance of native code that interacts with or executes Java programs, including a discussion of local and global references that incorporates global weak references in Java 2.
The book also looks at handling exceptions within C/C++ code, as well as tips for working with Java threads. The author shows how to simplify access to C/C++ code through shared stubs and how to use peer classes to encapsulate native code from within Java. A section on common traps and pitfalls lists some common pitfalls to avoid when working with the JNI. After presenting the JNI specification, the author provides the most immediately useful text in the book–over 100 pages of reference material listing JNI data types and methods.
As a reference and programming guide, The Java Native Interface provides concise and timely technical details on getting Java and C/C++ code to coexist within your projects. –Richard Dragan
