AJAX book recommendation

I have been a Java developer since 1995 and am very experienced in writing rich client applications.
I would like to learn how to write rich Internet applications using AJAX and am looking for book recommendations, preferably using Java EE for the server side.
Thanks.

I think if you google Learning AJAX or AJAX tutorial, you will also discover very good books on the language and lots of suggestion with regards to book on the topic.

Book recommendation for Content Networking?

Hi,
Is there any books outhere on cisco CSS, GSS for a good readup?
I know there's a whole lot of docs fr univercd, but was wondering if there are actually books on these products?
Thanks.

Thank you for your book recommendation. This sounds like an excellent book for learning Flash. From the description on Amazon, the emphasis of this book is on learning Flash with just a little information about ActionScript 3. Perhaps there is enough ActionScript 3 information in this book to get a good foundation with ActionScript, to learn the terminology and syntax?

Book Recommendation for Fathers Day?

I'm waiting for Illustrator CS4 Wow! to come out here in the UK as my next book purchase and I already have a couple of basic manual replacement books which I am steadily ploughing through. I wonder if anyone could suggest a couple of titles I could give to my kids to distract them from the inevitible cheap aftershave alternative?
I would like either a book that discusses more intermediate issues in Illy rather than the kind of very basic manual replacement books or if you're up for it, suggest a couple of illustration techniques that might be useful and help with my drawing. I realised pretty quickly that a) Photoshop isn't good at taking your photos, b) Dreamweaver isn't that good at writing your code and c) Illustrator isn't up to drawing your drawings - Maybe a clickable "Inspiration Panel" should be a feature request?
So either any recommendations for drawing techniques that would be useful for digital art and/or recommendations for interemediate level Illustrator techniques?
Many thanks
Martin

Thanks for the suggestion but that's one of the books I already have
and think it's one of the best Adobe Software help books I have out of
all of them. It's really well written and covers a lot of material in
a practical way. The other Illustrator book I have is by Deke
McClelland which I find to be more like a reference manual than Mordy
Golding's.

Book recommendation for newbie

I know the basics of Flash CS4, and would like to extend my knowledge by learning about ActionScript 3. My background is in graphic design (not math, not programming). Can anyone help with a book recommendation that would get me started with the basics of ActionScript 3?

AJAX & APEX Book Recommendation

Hi Everybody,
I am interested in picking up some AJAX reading material for those special days at the office when APEX's rapid development characteristics leave some free time in the afternoons. Does anybody have any AJAX recommendations that apply really well for an ApEx developer?
Thanks!
-Rudy

Rudy,
You've probably noticed (by the resounding lack of responses) that there are no books specifically on integrating these subjects. The Apex docs cover everything you'll need for Apex and the W3C schools site http://www.w3schools.com/ajax/default.asp covers Ajax. Also you can search the forum for Ajax and find some excellent examples of integrating both.
Keep Smiling,

Acrobat 9 Pro Book Recommendations wanted

We will soon be install CS4 which comes with Acrobat 9 Pro.
I am look for recommendation of book(s) which would be a useful resource for learning the features of Acrobat 9 Pro.
Thanks

Something to play with:
Acrobat provides "Edge shadow removal"
(the dark edge produced when what is scanned is not flush between platen and cover of scanner.
Try a setting of "Aggressive".
In Acrobat 8 - File > Create PDF > From Scanner
In the Acrobat Scan dialog, Document pane - click the Options button for 'Optimization'.
This brings up the dialog that contains settings for Filtering.
Alternatively, click Document > Optimize Scanned PDF
The associated dialog provides for user configuration of Filtering settings.
Similar approach for Acrobat 9.
However, for File > Create PDF > From Scanner click on "Configure Presets".
The Document > Optimize Scanned PDF for Acrobat 9 is similar to Acrobat 8.
Be well...

Graphic Design Style book recommendations

Are there any Graphics Design Style books for non-graphics designers you can recommend. I'm converting from MS Publisher to Pages 08 the concert programs I produce for our local classical guitar society concerts and I would like to make the program more appealing. All recommendations will be welcomed.
Ed S.

Ellen Lupton's Design it Yourself is a great overview of things to get started,
http://www.amazon.com/D-I-Y-Design-Yourself-Handbooks/dp/1568985525
Thinking with Type is an excellent way to get a better understanding of how things work. It's great for a someone who's just getting their feet wet, but is quite thorough.

And there are many BOOKS. Too many ...
I ask you to recommend your favourite books about SQL Server.
Your recommendations should help all of us to buy those books which are helpful ...
Kind regards, Rudi

Hi Rudolf,
Do you focus only on SQL server, not including Windows Server Failover Cluster and SAP? If yes, I recommend you to ask in MSDN -> Database Engine.
Because this is a SAP on SQL forum, I will talk a little bit about WSFC and SAP. Here is my MATERIAL list. Hope this helps.
PS: These are very useful for troubleshooting and performance optimization. Regarding to reviews, there are so many people wrote in Amazon in great detail. I will skip it.
1. Search "Failover Cluster" from MS TechEd 2008~2014
2. Search "SQL Server Performance/Query/execution plan/AlwaysOn" from MS TechEd 2008~2014
3. A book "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 administrator’s companion"
3.5 Troushooting Sql Server ( Troubleshooting SQL Server: A Guide for the Accidental DBA )
4. A material from SAP course "BC 490: ABAP Performance & Tuning"
5. CD 262: Tune Your Custom ABAP Code.
6. Performance Do’s and Don’ts – ABAP: http://service.sap.com/performance

Java Web Service Book Recommendation

Hello,
my company is converting our old HP database system to Oracle database/server. I am looking for some books that can help me get familiar with Java Web Services. I want to use the latest Java.
If anyone owns/knows a good book to recommend is very appreciated. Also, I would like to get a book regarding security in Java Web Service.
Thank you.

Three words: Amazon.com user reviews. They've never let me down yet.
Note that the online documentation is absolutely not bad at all and the internet is riddled with examples; I managed to figure it all out without the help of a book.
JAX-WS: https://metro.java.net/discover/
JAX-RS: https://jersey.java.net/nonav/documentation/latest/index.html
Of course these are only the reference implementations. Many people choose to use Apache Axis 2 in stead of Metro for example, which has its own (rich) documentation, user base and forums.

Need to have a webpage for my book, recommendations on where?

My book has been very recently put up on iTunes...looking for information on webpages.
Any recommendations on where to setup a webpage?

Okay, I will do my best to explain a little more...although the information you have given is helpful.
I am looking for a place to setup a webpage...I have never had a webpage and I am learning about how to go about the process. Is it necessary to have a domain? Or can I do everything I need to with a free webpage like through Yahoo?
thank you for any help you can give...

E-business suite book recommendations

Hi, I used oracle Apps 10.7 about 8 years ago (and can remember very little). I have only been doing core development DBA work since. I am interested in doing a bit of a tech refresh with 11.5+/12 and also RAC, I would appreciate any recommendations for books that will expedite the refresh and explain things clearly without too much "fluff".
Many Thanks.

I would suggest you start with Oracle Apps Documentation.

Beginner in need of book recommendation

I'm a beginner to CS3 Flash and in need of book or tutorial
recommendations. I have the Flash "Classroom in a Book" and it's
been somewhat helpful. However, a lot of what I want to do, is
import parts of a collage print from CS3 photoshop and animate
them. I am having problems with importing layers from Photoshop and
animating these layers in Flash. Are there any books or tutorials
that go into more detail on this aspect of flash? The other book
that I'm thinking about is Peachpit's Adobe Flash CS3 Professional
Hands-On Training. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Lou

of the text is in jpeg form, which means search engines are limited
to the page titles. Is there a way to keep the layout but make the
text searchable by the engines? Does the question make sense? Any
help would be greatly appreciated.
Ty
Yes, the question makes perfect sense.
Fireworks is a graphics program. The HTML that Fireworks
produces is intended for prototypes - quick examples you can show
people to see if you're on the right track with a design. The
Fireworks HTML is not robust enough to use for a production site.
What you want to do is use either a program that's designed for
creating robust HTML (such as Dreamweaver) or learn to write HTML
by hand in a text editor. It isn't really that hard.
What you have now is a mess. It would be impossible to
maintain. Just looking at your file info%20links.HTML is a
nightmare. It doesn't need to look like that...and it shouldn't.
(Also, naming conventions. That %20 is what happens to spaces in
your file name. It's better to remove spaces or use hyphens
instead. Underscores are okay, but they tend to get lost if a file
name is also a link and becomes underlined. Use lowercase for file
extensions.)
Even if you have Dreamweaver or another Web authoring
program, you really ought to learn what it is you're doing. Check
out
this
earlier thread for some recommendations.
Good luck!

Photoshop Elements 7 tutorial book recommendation

Hi - I'm looking for a recommendation for a practical, how-to book for Photoshop Elements 7. I am new to the software and have purchased a book which is pretty good but it's still too much like a technical manual. Two books by Avi Muchnick, "When Pancakes Go Bad: Optical Delusions with Adobe Photoshop" and "I've Got a Human in My Throat: MORE Optical Delusions with Adobe Photoshop" teach how to use the software in a practical fashion using fun projects - not just telling me what each function does as most technical manuals do. The sample images are also included so that the user can work along with the book making it a truly a hands-on experience which is what I want. I'm told that most of what is in these books applies to PE7. I have two questions:
1. If anyone has used either of these books, how well did you think they related to PE7?
2. What other book would someone recommend as a good hands-on PE7 tutorial? I do not have a very fast internet connection so, for now, I would prefer to learn using a book with software if possible. However, I know there is a wealth of good on-line tutorials out there so any recommendations for those would also be appreciated.
Thanks!

I have used "How to Cheat in Photoshop Elements 7" and found it interesting.
But you can find lot of stuff online specific to your requirement.... Usually I prefer to read PSE blogs or online tutorials whenever I have any specific requirement in terms of Editing....

Java Book - Recommendations Needed.

Recommendations for a good BEGINNERS book please.

If you're completely new to programming then I'd suggest checking out some of the older books on first principles that they'll have available in your college library.
This kind of foundation will massively reduce the learning curve for any language.
Then hit the 2nd hand bookstores and find an earlier edition of one of the books mentioned above. All the marketing crap claiming that a new edition is completely updated is irrelevant to your needs. The core language has changed very little in about 6 years, (since the abortion that was the 1.0 event model was justifiably taken out behind the chemical sheds and shot), so anything 1.1 and onwards will suffice as long as you can get access to the errata pages on the web.
Of course, the best approach is simply to use the free resources on this and other sites because the programming manuals aren't overly useful to students entering the field for the first time. I say this because you'll probably be looking at two types of task:
1) Practical programming (probably so simplistic that you'll be able to solve with reference to the API docs)
2) Theoretical stuff (Better to look to academic books, trade journals, etc.)
