Managing Software Development describes a set of proven processes for establishing an effective Software Program Management Office (SPMO) function in a corporate setting. Every business that has people performing Software Project Management (PM) activities has a need for these processes. In some instances, an organization may already have a PMO chartered with overall responsibility for each project managed in an enterprise. In those cases, this book will either provide validation of their efforts or it will provide some techniques and useful approaches that can be utilized to further improve on their overall implementation of the PMO. In the vast majority of cases in business, however, a PMO is unheard of. Each project managed in the enterprise is unfortunately managed separately from all others (at great cost in both time and money to the enterprise). The book provides a downloadable “drop-in” web site containing every type of template needed to perform the activities described here.

*Pre-built Intranet is ready to deploy in a corporate setting and provides immediate use
*Process Methodology adheres to proven best-practices for software development
Covers C programming, as well as the implementation of data structures and an analysis of advanced data structure problems.

You’re a beginner who wants to design a state-of-the-art family web site. You’ve just started a new job, and you need to learn Dreamweaver fast. Or maybe you’re a professional who’s been using another program but is now switching to Macromedia’s leading web design tool. Learning Dreamweaver 8 gets you up to speed, quickly and efficiently.
Straightforwardly practical, with speed as the by-word, this hands-on guide focuses on the best practices for constructing both interactive and static web sites. While explaining core concepts clearly and thoroughly, so that beginners have a solid conceptural and technical foundation, it cuts through the clutter that might slow down a beginner tackling a subject as vast as web design and a tool as robust as Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver 8 Design and Construction emphasizes learning by doing, with short, task-oriented chapters that demonstrate theory by presenting design solutions and explaining the principles that make them work. Plenty of screen shots, illustrations, and sample layouts accompany rapid prototyping techniques for site production.
Marc Campbell has been building web sites since 1997-for everything from comic book fan communities to state government portals and e-commerce applications. A Macromedia Certified Dreamweaver Developer and beta tester, he has taught web design to students at all levels and has written eight books on the subject.
Sidebars in Dreamweaver 8 Design and Construction allow readers to decide how deeply they want to delve into the subject. “Best Bets” offer bottom-line recommendations for those who want to skip the general discussion, while “Behind the Scenes” sidebars provide more in-depth looks at particular topics for those who want more detail. Absolute beginner or faux debutante, you’ll learn proven procedures for quickly building Dreamweaver sites.
This step-by-step resource takes the fear and mystery out of using
markup languages HTML and XHTML to build Web sites–it will help you
through the process with friendly and familiar terms and techniques.
You’ll cover all the basics, learn to add links, images, and data, and
move on to advanced techniques such as animation, image maps, and
interactivity. Discover the XHTML 1.0 recommendations and the direction
in which Web design is headed with XHMTL 1.1 (XHTML Modularization) and
the XHTML 2.0 working draft. Whatever your goals are, you’ll find what
you need to accomplish them in How to Do Everything with HTML & XHTML.
Self-paced, self-guided instruction is all well and good, but at the end of the day, most people could use a little feedback–especially when they’re ready to build a design portfolio and hit the job market. Not to worry, this book provides actual instructor feedback along with the self-paced, individualized instruction in Photoshop and Illustrator that designers need. Written by the faculty of New York-based, accredited online design school Sessions.edu, the book uses the school’s trademark project-based curriculum to teach essential design concepts with Photoshop and Illustrator. After a brief intro to the world of graphic design, Sessions instructors provide quick “refresher course” chapters on the two programs. Then, armed with Photoshop and Illustrator basics, readers tackle a series of projects that stretch their imagination and creative muscles involving logo design, magazine layouts, illustrations, poster design, digital imaging, book cover design, packaging design, and more. Best of all, readers are encouraged to post their work for expert feedback from Session.edu faculty on “Studio Sessions,” the custom Web site created for this book.
A guide to programming Symbian OS smartphones using OPL (The Open Programming Language): a simple to learn, open-source scripting language, ideal for fast-track development of enterprise applications. This book provides a hands-on development environment for both the experienced and aspiring programmer, demonstrating the ease of use of Symbian OS technologies through the utilization of OPL. OPL has a shallow learning curve which allows bespoke corporate tools to be developed in house by technical staff who aren’t necessarily trained programmers. Rapid Mobile Enterprise Development For Symbian OS provides a clear guide on both how to program, and understanding the structure of the language through a keyword dictionary. Any bespoke OPL application can grow with a company, eventually providing access to more advanced C++ code through OPX extensions. From the home programmer who wants to do more with their phone, to the enterprise developer, Rapid Mobile Enterprise Development For Symbian OS is the ideal starting point for simple, innovative application design using OPL.

Directory technology promises to solve the problem of decentralized information that has arisen with the explosion of distributed computing. Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a set of protocols that has become the Internet standard for accessing information directories. Until now, however, those curious about LDAP had no introductory source to learn how the technology can help them centrally manage information and reduce the cost of computing services.
LDAP Directories Explained provides technical managers and those new to directory services with a fundamental introduction to LDAP. This concise guide examines how the technology works and gives an overview of the most successful directory products in an easy-to-reference format.
Key topics include:
*An overview of LDAP, including how directories differ from databases
*The LDAP namespace, with an overview of DNS, LDAP object structure, and LDAP object naming
*Client LDAP operations, including directory-enabled services and applications, searches, and the LDAP protocol
*LDAP schema, including object classes, attributes, syntaxes, matching rules, and more
*Directory management, including directory integration strategies, metadirectories, security, and more
*LDAP vendors OpenLDAP, Microsoft Active Directory, and Directory Server
*A case study of Stanford University’s directory architecture, which illustrates how integral an LDAP directory can become to a business
If you are an information technology manager, LDAP Directories Explained will provide the technical foundation you need to make sound business decisions about LDAP. If you’re a developer, this straightforward reference will bring you quickly up to speed on LDAP and directories.
Templates are among the most powerful features of C++, but they are too often neglected, misunderstood, and misused. C++ Templates: The Complete Guide provides software architects and engineers with a clear understanding of why, when, and how to use templates to build and maintain cleaner, faster, and smarter software more efficiently.
C++ Templates begins with an insightful tutorial on basic concepts and language features. The remainder of the book serves as a comprehensive reference, focusing first on language details, then on a wide range of coding techniques, and finally on advanced applications for templates. Examples used throughout the book illustrate abstract concepts and demonstrate best practices.
Readers learn
*The exact behaviors of templates
*How to avoid the pitfalls associated with templates
*Idioms and techniques, from the basic to the previously undocumented
*How to reuse source code without threatening performance or safety
*How to increase the efficiency of C++ programs
*How to produce more flexible and maintainable software
