wishlist (AmazonWishList): member (Book-1): has Review: text: The Wonderful Thing Is: It's the Only One rating: 10 has Review: text: Great Book on Information Retrieval rating: 10 has Review: text: Good introduction to searching/indexing in data. rating: 8 Description: Of all the tasks programmers are asked to perform, storing, compressing, and retrieving information are some of the most challenging--and critical to many applications. <I>Managing Gigabytes: Compressing and Indexing Documents and Images</I> is a treasure trove of theory, practical illustration, and general discussion in this fascinating technical subject.<p> Ian Witten, Alistair Moffat, and Timothy Bell have updated their original work with this even more impressive second edition. This version adds recent techniques such as block-sorting, new indexing techniques, new lossless compression strategies, and many other elements to the mix. In short, this work is a comprehensive summary of text and image compression, indexing, and querying techniques. The history of relevant algorithm development is woven well with a practical discussion of challenges, pitfalls, and specific solutions.<p> This title is a textbook-style exposition on the topic, with its information organized very clearly into topics such as compression, indexing, and so forth. In addition to diagrams and example text transformations, the authors use "pseudo-code" to present algorithms in a language-independent manner wherever possible. They also supplement the reading with <I>mg</I>--their own implementation of the techniques. The mg C language source code is freely available on the Web. <p> Alone, this book is an impressive collection of information. Nevertheless, the authors list numerous titles for further reading in selected topics. Whether you're in the midst of application development and need solutions fast or are merely curious about how top-notch information management is done, this hardcover is an excellent investment. <I>--Stephen W. Plain</I><p> <B>Topics covered</B>: Text compression models, including Huffman, LZW, and their variants; trends in information management; index creation and compression; image compression; performance issues; and overall system implementation. maker (Person): Timothy C.

Down in the street little eddies of wind were whirling dust and torn paper into spirals, and though the sun was shining and the sky a harsh blue, there seemed to be no color in anything except the posters that were plastered everywhere."<p> The year is 1984; the scene is London, largest population center of Airstrip One.<p> Airstrip One is part of the vast political entity Oceania, which is eternally at war with one of two other vast entities, Eurasia and Eastasia. At any moment, depending upon current alignments, all existing records show either that Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia and allied with Eastasia, or that it has always been at war with Eastasia and allied with Eurasia. Winston Smith knows this, because his work at the Ministry of Truth involves the constant "correction" of such records. "'Who controls the past,' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'"<p> In a grim city and a terrifying country, where Big Brother is always Watching You and the Thought Police can practically read your mind, Winston is a man in grave danger for the simple reason that his memory still functions. He knows the Party's official image of the world is a fluid fiction. He knows the Party controls the people by feeding them lies and narrowing their imaginations through a process of bewilderment and brutalization that alienates each individual from his fellows and deprives him of every liberating human pursuit from reasoned inquiry to sexual passion. Drawn into a forbidden love affair, Winston finds the courage to join a secret revolutionary organization called The Brotherhood, dedicated to the destruction of the Party. Together with his beloved Julia, he hazards his life in a deadly match against the powers that be.<p> <I>Newspeak</I>, <I>doublethink</I>, <I>thoughtcrime</I>--in <I>1984</I>, George Orwell created a whole vocabulary of words concerning totalitarian control that have since passed into our common vocabulary. More importantly, he has portrayed a chillingly credible dystopia. In our deeply anxious world, the seeds of unthinking conformity are everywhere in evidence; and Big Brother is always looking for his chance. <I>--Daniel Hintzsche</I> maker (Person): George Orwell depiction (Image): http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0451524934.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg thumbnail: Identifier: 0451524934 Title: 1984 page: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0451524934/webservices-20?dev-t=D151B5UYK93CM2%26camp=2025%26link_code=xm2 member (Book-1): has Review: text: You will be surprised of how much you don't know about HTTP rating: 10 has Review: text: Nicely written but technical guide of web technology rating: 10 has Review: text: The only book of its kind! rating: 10 maker (Person): Brian Totty maker (Person): David Gourley depiction (Image): http://images.amazon.com/images/P/1565925092.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg thumbnail: Identifier: 1565925092 Title: HTTP: The Definitive Guide page: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1565925092/webservices-20?dev-t=D151B5UYK93CM2%26camp=2025%26link_code=xm2 member (Book-1): has Review: text: Good Perspectives on Tough Topics rating: 8 has Review: text: Exceeded my expectations! rating: 10 maker (Person): Clay Rehm maker (Person): Larissa Moss maker (Person): David Marco maker (Person): Chuck Kelley maker (Person): Jill Dyché maker (Person): Sean Ivoghli maker (Person): Douglas Hackney maker (Person): Jill Dyche maker (Person): Joyce Bischoff maker (Person): Sid Adelman depiction (Image): http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0201760339.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg thumbnail: Identifier: 0201760339 Title: Impossible Data Warehouse Situations: Solutions from the Experts page: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201760339/webservices-20?dev-t=D151B5UYK93CM2%26camp=2025%26link_code=xm2 member (Book-1): has Review: text: Inmon vs. Kimball???? rating: 4 has Review: text: Good Intro to Concepts and Benefits - Light on Tech rating: 6 has Review: text: Dwh at the beginning rating: 8 maker (Person): W.

In his mid-30s, Coupland writes about what it means to grow up and the realization that he is not young anymore. Essays include observations on parents his age at Grateful Dead concerts who seem intent on preserving a youthful reckless and carefree lifestyle at the expense of their children, to the "gristled leather bachelors" and "straw-permed sex androids from Planet 1971," to mourning his own sense of youthfulness as he revisits old haunts in his native Vancouver. maker (Person): Douglas Coupland depiction (Image): http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0060987219.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg thumbnail: Identifier: 0060987219 Title: Polaroids from the Dead page: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0060987219/webservices-20?dev-t=D151B5UYK93CM2%26camp=2025%26link_code=xm2 member (Book-1): has Review: text: From the Mouth of Sir Tim rating: 8 has Review: text: Could there be a better history of the web rating: 10 has Review: text: Great read for technologists and non-technologists alike! rating: 8 Description: If you can read this review (and voice your opinion about his book on Amazon.com), you have Tim Berners-Lee to thank. When you've read his no-nonsense account of how he invented the World Wide Web, you'll want to thank him again, for the sheer coolness of his ideas. One day in 1980, Berners-Lee, an Oxford-trained computer consultant, got a random thought: "Suppose all the information stored on computers everywhere were linked?" So he created a system to give every "page" on a computer a standard address (now called a URL, or Universal Resource Locator), accessible via the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), formatted with the HyperText Markup Language (HTML), and visible with the first browser, which did the trick of linking us all up.<p> He may be the most self-effacing genius of the computer age, and his egalitarian mind is evident in the names he rejected for his invention: "I thought of Mine of Information, or MOI, but <I>moi</I> in French means 'me,' and that was too egocentric.... The Information Mine (TIM) was even more egocentric!" Also, a mine is a passive repository; the Web is something that grows inexorably from everyone's contributions. Berners-Lee fully credits the colorful characters who helped him get the bobsled of progress going--one colleague times his haircuts to match the solstices--but he's stubbornly independent-minded. His quest is to make the Web "a place where the whim of a human being and the reasoning of a machine coexist in an ideal, powerful mixture."<p> Hard-core tech types may wish Berners-Lee had gone into deeper detail about the road ahead: the "boon and threat" of XML, free vs. commercial software, VRML 3-D imaging, and such. But he wants everyone in on the debate, so he wrote a brisk book that virtually anyone can understand. <I>--Tim Appelo</I> maker (Person): Tim Berners-Lee depiction (Image): http://images.amazon.com/images/P/006251587X.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg thumbnail: Identifier: 006251587X Title: Weaving the Web: The Original Design and Ultimate Destiny of the World Wide Web page: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/006251587X/webservices-20?dev-t=D151B5UYK93CM2%26camp=2025%26link_code=xm2 member (Book-1): has Review: text: Not so practical rating: 8 has Review: text: Verbose rating: 6 has Review: text: Good, but.... rating: 6 maker (Person): Shelley Powers depiction (Image): http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0596002637.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg thumbnail: Identifier: 0596002637 Title: Practical RDF page: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0596002637/webservices-20?dev-t=D151B5UYK93CM2%26camp=2025%26link_code=xm2 member (Book-1): has Review: text: Trendy, ephemeral trash rating: 2 has Review: text: Great Read rating: 10 has Review: text: thanks professor fussell rating: 10 maker (Person): Douglas Coupland depiction (Image): http://images.amazon.com/images/P/031205436X.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg thumbnail: Identifier: 031205436X Title: Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture page: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/031205436X/webservices-20?dev-t=D151B5UYK93CM2%26camp=2025%26link_code=xm2 member (Book-1): has Review: text: Good, but seriously needs a second edition rating: 6 has Review: text: Comprehensive and insightful rating: 8 has Review: text: A must-read for anyone involved with site design! rating: 10 Description: Creating Web sites is easy. Creating sites that truly meet the needs and expectations of the wide range of online users is quite another story. In <I>Designing Web Usability: The Practice of Simplicity,</I> renowned Web usability guru Jakob Nielsen shares his insightful thoughts on the subject. Packed with annotated examples of actual Web sites, this book sets out many of the design precepts all Web developers should follow.<p> This guide segments discussions of Web usability into page, content, site, and intranet design. This breakdown skillfully isolates for the reader many subtly different challenges that are often mixed together in other discussions. For example, Nielsen addresses the requirements of viewing pages on varying monitor sizes separately from writing concise text for "scanability." Along the way, the author pulls no punches with his opinions, using phrases like "frames: just say no" to immediately make his feelings known. Fortunately, his advise is some of the best you'll find.<p> One of the unique aspects of this title is the use of actual statistics to buttress the author's opinions on various techniques and technologies. He includes survey results on sizes of screens, types of queries submitted to search portals, response times by connection type and more. This book is intended as the first of two volumes--focusing on the "what." The author promises a follow-up title that will show the "hows" and, based on this installation, we can't wait. <I>--Stephen W.

Beware. rating: 2 has Review: text: Interesting but flawed rating: 6 has Review: text: not for the popcorn munching, beer guzzling crowd. rating: 8 Description: <I>Empire</I> is a sweeping book with a big-picture vision. Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri argue that while classical imperialism has largely disappeared, a new empire is emerging in a diffuse blend of technology, economics, and globalization. The book brings together unlikely bedfellows: Hardt, associate professor in Duke University's literature program, and Negri, among other things a writer and inmate at Rebibbia Prison in Rome. <I>Empire</I> aspires to the same scale of grand political philosophy as Locke or Marx or Fukuyama, but whether Hardt and Negri accomplish this daunting task is debatable. It is, however, an exciting book that is especially timely following the emergence of terrorism as a geopolitical force.<p> Hardt and Negri maintain that empire--traditionally understood as military or capitalist might--has embarked upon a new stage of historical development and is now better understood as a complex web of sociopolitical forces. They argue, with a neo-Marxist bent, that "the multitude" will transcend and defeat the new empire on its own terms. The authors address everything from the works of Deleuze to Jefferson's constitutional democracy to the Chiapas revolution in a far-ranging analysis of our contemporary situation. Unfortunately, their penchant for references and academese sometimes renders the prose unwieldy. But if Hardt and Negri's vision of the world materializes, they will undoubtedly be remembered as prophetic. <I>--Eric de Place</I> maker (Person): Antonio Negri maker (Person): Michael Hardt depiction (Image): http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0674006712.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg thumbnail: Identifier: 0674006712 Title: Empire page: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0674006712/webservices-20?dev-t=D151B5UYK93CM2%26camp=2025%26link_code=xm2 member (Book-1): has Review: text: Cute--food is a four letter word.
