Foundation PHP for Flash shows how to add dynamic content to Flash movies, by using PHP server-side scripting and the MySQL open-source database. Some knowledge of Flash is assumed, but PHP and MySQL are explained from scratch.
The advantage of combining these technologies is that Flash movies can interact with data on the Web server. A simple example, explained in the first chapter, is a user registration form. On the Flash side, ActionScript is the key ingredient that makes this kind of interaction possible. The author begins by showing how to send and receive external data from Flash movies. Next comes an introduction to PHP, from the basics of variables, statements and operators, through to functions, string handling, and regular expressions. There is also a chapter on cookie handling, often a vital part of a Web application. A mailing list example illustrates how to access external files from Flash and PHP. Finally the book introduces MySQL, showing how to get started with a system for serving up dynamic news items. That leaves space for three extensive case studies: online voting, an event planner, and a discussion forum. An appendix covers installation, and offers a brief guide to object-oriented programming.

With its friendly approach and practical examples, this is an excellent book for Flash designers looking to get started with dynamic content. It is not so good for existing PHP developers, as much of the material will already be familiar. Flash and PHP are a great combination, and this title offers plenty of ideas that you can take up in your own projects.

Rapid advances in electronic and optical technology have enabled the implementation of powerful error-control codes, which are now used in almost the entire range of information systems with close to optimal performance.

These codes and decoding methods are required for the detection and correction of the errors and erasures which inevitably occur in digital information during transmission, storage and processing because of noise, interference and other imperfections.
Error-control coding is a complex, novel and unfamiliar area, not yet widely understood and appreciated. This book sets out to provide a clear description of the essentials of the subject, with comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of the most useful codes and their decoding algorithms. A practical engineering and information technology emphasis, as well as relevant background material and fundamental theoretical aspects, provides an in-depth guide to the essentials of Error-Control Coding.

BSCI instructs network administrators of medium-to-large network sites on the use of advanced IP addressing and routing in implementing scalability for Cisco routers connected to LANs and WANs. The goal is to train network administrators to grow a dramatically increased number of routers/sites using these techniques instead of redesigning the network when additional sites or wiring configurations are added.The course contains seven modules and 16 lab exercises. Hands-on lab exercises allow the learner to practice configuration and troubleshooting knowledge and to acquire the skills necessary to configure Cisco routers in customer networks. Upon completing this course, the learner will be able to select and implement the appropriate Cisco IOS services required to build a scalable, routed network.

Hi everybody,

Recently, I received a lot of emails from registered members that you could not receive registration emai. I did some test and everything has run smoothly, till now I still did not detect what is the problem. I guess that, the big number of registered everyday cause some stuck for a few members. So, if you did register and still not get your registration email, please check carefully your bulk/spam email firstly, then use contact form to contact with me. I will support you as soon as possible. Sorry for this inconvenience.

Thank you for your concern.

Best Regards

Effective time management is one of today's most overlooked–yet essential –keys to career growth in business and management. Time Management provides hands-on techniques and tools for making every minute count as it dispels myths that can actually cost instead of save valuable time. It helps managers match the right time-saving tool to each situation, reveals secrets for anticipating instead of reacting, and explains how any manager can eliminate procrastination.

Through case studies and personal studies, you’ll learn:

How to sell yourself
What should you charge?
How to keep clients for life
How to manage budgets
How to hire and fire employees

Your average client can’t determine the difference between a good and a bad website. They can’t really look at your portfolio and say: “This person makes profitable web sites.” Instead, they consider other factors when evaluating you for the job. For example: recommendations from other people, the quality of your brochure, the way you dress or simply your handshake. In the kit, Brendon shows how to make the client very confident that you are the best choice they can make.
