Summary: Good resource for messaging systems administrators
Be it inane e-mails with topics such as “retention bobble cicada emanuel,” attempts to pitch 21st century snake oil, or incessant pleas to refinance your mortgage or find a date online, we’ve all received our share of spam. And as antispam software develops, mass marketers get ever more crafty in defeating these programs. Spam is truly overwhelming today’s workplaces, and systems administrators are in dire need of effective solutions.
One place to turn is Slamming Spam, a systems administrator’s and messaging administrator’s guide to reducing spam. With its hands-on, high-level approach for detecting, managing, and eliminating spam, the book is not for beginners. Readers are expected to be comfortable with UNIX and Windows system administration and be familiar with core concepts of messaging and messaging protocols.
Thankfully, the authors don’t delay in providing helpful information. By chapter two, the book is already in the solutions phase of how to harden a system against spam. Besides covering SpamAssassin, a popular open-source antispam tool, the book shows how to protect messaging systems, such as Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Domino, and messaging clients including Outlook Express and Mozilla Messenger.
Alternative solutions to junk e-mail are provided as well, including Sender Policy Framework (which identifies spoofed mail) and DSPAM (an open-source statistics-based spam filter), as well as commercial solutions. Whitelists and blacklists, DNS black-hole services, header checking, and other antispam niceties are explained as well. The result is a book that will help any organization substantially reduce its spam intake.

Book Description:
XML is bringing together some fairly disparate groups into a new cultural clash: document developers trying to understand what a transaction is, database analysts getting upset because the relational model doesn’t fit anymore, and web designers having to deal with schemata and rule based transformations. The key to rising above the confusion is to understand the different semantic structures that lie beneath the standards of XML, and how to model the semantics to achieve the goals of the organization.
A pure architecture of XML doesn’t exist yet, and it may never exist as the underlying technologies are so diverse. Still, the key to understanding how to build the new web infrastructure for electronic business lies in understanding the landscape of these new standards.
If your background is in document processing, this book will show how you can use conceptual modeling to model business scenarios consisting of business objects, relationships, processes, and transactions in a document-centric way. Database designers will learn if XML is subject to relational normalization and how this fits in with the hierarchical structure of XML documents. Web designers will discover that XML puts them into a position to automatically generate visually pleasing web pages and rich multimedia shows from otherwise dry product catalogues by using XSLT and other transformation tools. Business architects will see how XML can help them to define applications that can be quickly adapted the ever changing requirements of the market.

Book Description:
Cross-platform development is a kind of holy grail, and Trolltech’s Qt toolkit may well be the most promising solution yet to this development challenge. Qt is widely used for the development of GUI applications as well as console tools and servers, and it’s especially appealing to programmers who need to write cross-platform applications to run on Linux/Unix, Mac, and Windows machines without having to rewrite for each platform.
The Book of Qt 4 offers an in-depth explanation of Qt 4 that goes beyond the common focus on C++ programming. Author Daniel Molkentin uses practical examples to explain features like the signal/slot concept and the event system, as he guides you through developing applications with and without Qt’s graphical GUI builder, Qt Designer. And as a core KDE developer, Molkentin’s head is full of real-world problems and solutions that he peppers liberally throughout The Book of Qt 4, making it a resource that you’ll consult time and again.
You’ll find coverage of:
# Tools for creating dialogs
# GUI design with the Qt Designer
# Widget layout and dialog construction
# Data visualization using Qt’s model/view concept
# The QtSql module and the graphics library Arthur
# File handling, XML, processes, and network connections
# Databases and threading
# Event handling and using drag and drop
# Internationalization and debugging
As well as lots of useful hints on how to use Qt’s datatypes, containers, and algorithms and how to develop user-friendly applications.
Whether you’re already a Qt developer or you’re just considering Qt for cross-platform development, you’ll find The Book of Qt 4 to be indispensable

Book Description:
The first comprehensive book on software test and analysis
You can’t “test quality into” a software product, but neither can you build a quality software product without test and analysis. Software test and analysis is increasingly recognized, in research and in industrial practice, as a core challenge in software engineering and computer science. Software Testing and Analysis: Process, Principles, and Techniques is the first book to present a range of complementary software test and analysis techniques in an integrated, coherent fashion. It covers a full spectrum of topics from basic principles and underlying theory to organizational and process issues in real-world application. The emphasis throughout is on selecting a complementary set of practical techniques to achieve an acceptable level of quality at an acceptable cost.
Highlights of the book include
* Interplay among technical and non-technical issues in crafting an approach to software quality, with chapters devoted to planning and monitoring the software quality process.
* A selection of practical techniques ranging from inspection to automated program and design analyses to unit, integration, system, and regression testing, with technical material set in the context of real-world problems and constraints in software development.
* A coherent view of the state of the art and practice, with technical and organizational approaches to push the state of practice toward the state of the art.
Throughout, the text covers techniques that are suitable for near-term application, with sufficient technical background to help you know how and when to apply them. Exercises reinforce the instruction and ensure that you master each topic before proceeding.
By incorporating software testing and analysis techniques into modern practice, Software Testing and Analysis: Process, Principles, and Techniques provides both students and professionals with realistic strategies for reliable and cost-effective software development.

* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0470848499
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780470848494
* Binding: Paperback
Book Description:
The purpose of large-scale software architecture is to capture and describe practical representations to make development teams more effective.
In this book the authors show how to utilise software architecture as a tool to guide the development instead of capturing the architectural details after all the design decisions have been made.
* Offers a concise description of UML usage for large-scale architecture
* Discusses software architecture and design principles
* Technology and vendor independent
Download Description:
“Software architecture is critical to the success of software development projects. Unfortunately, many projects are unsuccessful in their attempts to leverage architecture-based development, especially large-scale projects. Lost in a myriad of possible UML diagrams, project teams often resort to ineffective ad-hoc techniques. The purpose of this book is to enable software architects, their managers, and other development team members to become more effective in directing the course of large-scale software development projects. Written by two experienced architects that have worked in the trenches on many projects, this book provides practical advice for all software teams about developing and capturing critical software architectural concerns. Leveraging the recent IEEE standard on software architecture and using UML compatible with versions 1.4 and 2.0 this book describes a series of viewpoints for capturing the software architecture and related concerns. These viewpoints convey essential information to users, stakeholders and other members of the development team. Large-Scale Software Architecture covers: a series of UML based viewpoints for capturing software architecture and related concerns useful techniques for development of software architectures the roles and responsibilities of the software architect and the architecture team traps and pitfalls of architecture development utilization of reusable and off-the-shelf software frameworks and components Whether managing, designing, developing or architecting large and complex systems, you will better understand how the software architecture can be captured and represented using this book.”

Summary: Out of date, out of synch
Besides being out of date, even for internal software dev groups, the contents of this book are plain out of synch with practices in any SW development environment.
The author wanders through people, process and technology with no clear purpose as far as I can tell, and the technology section is so outdated that it comes across as quaint.
Even the people and process sections are weak. Use the P-CMM to handle people issues, and pick any number of process approaches, from agile methods and extreme programming at one end, to the CMM at the other.
