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?

Book recommendation for the intermediate level

Hi,
I've just completed a collage java module which did a very good grounding in the basics, applets & awt. It also gave very short intros to threads & networking(sockets) but not much. I would like to follow this up with some more study on my own.
What book would you recommend (intermediate level)for more advanced topics like networking, GUI development, beans etc
thanks
Willie

You can also try the free tutorials at
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/views/java/tutorials.jsp
They range from very basic up, are free, and mostly have been very good.

Routing Protocol recommendation for MPLS Network

I am in the process of building a 14 site MPLS network for voice and data traffic. The vendor installing the network has configured RIPv2 as the routing protocol. I am considering switching this over to EIGRP. Can anyone explain to me why this would be better or should I just stay with RIP.
Thanks

Hi Chip,
Its not very clear whether you are implementing a MPLS network or implementing a Network over MPLS for an end user with 14 sites.
1) If MPLS network then other IGP variants than OSPF and ISIS best avoided. Now if the choice is between ISIS and OSPF then my personal recommendation would be OSPF. And this decision is purely driven by Operational Considerations rather than any technical advantages. Since at the end of the day what matters is how easy it is to implement add delete or troubleshoot the network.
2)If for End User then it would not be right to recommend EIGRP or RIP or OSPF without knowing the current size & topology of each of these 14 sites, as well as the desired expansion plans. But if these 14 sites are the only sites and are all standalone branch sites connecting over MPLS VPN then RIP,EIGRP or OSPF can be implemented as per your and customer comfort.
HTH-Cheers,
Swaroop

Recommendations for XenServer network configuration on B200M2

We are just starting a XenApp / XenDesktop / VDI project at our company. I'm very familiar with VMware as that is the hypervisor we primarily use on UCS. I'll be using XenServer for this project though as the licensing comes with the Citrix licensing. Does anybody have a recommended configuration for the nics in a XenServer running on UCS B200M2's. The adapters in the B200M2's are the M81KR's so I was going to setup them up similar to how I setup and ESXi server.
That would be the following:
Management network (this would use the same native vlan that I use for the management network of my ESXi hosts)
1 nic on fabric A that doesn't failover for the management network (bonded with nic listed below)
1 nic on fabric B that doesn't failover for the management network (bonded with nic listed above)
XenMotion (this would use the same native vlan that I use for VMotion in VMware)
1 nic on fabric B that can failover to fabric A
Guest / VM Network (this I would use vlan tagging to add the appropriate networks for my desktops)
1 nic on fabric A that doesn't failover for guest / vm network connectivity (bonded with nic listed below)
1 nic on fabric B that doesn't failover for guest / vm network connectivity (bonded with nic listed above)
Could somebody offere some suggestions / recommendations on how they have setup there XenServers in UCS for VDI / XenDesktop?

Hey Russ, I have deployed XenServer on UCS a lot and here is our standard config that has worked for my customers.
2 vNICs for management, 1 on Fabric A and 1 on Fabric B
2 vNICs for VM traffic, 1 on Fabric A and 1 on Fabric B
If using IP storage then 2 additional vNIC for that, 1 on Fabric A and 1 on Fabric B
2 vHBAs for FC SAN, 1 on Fabric A and 1 on Fabric B
Make sure you have a BIOS policy that disables all of the Intel C-States

Book Recommendation for Building Swing Applications

I'm looking for recommendations on books for building swing applications from the ground up.
I'm not a strong GUI developer. 95% of my experience has been strictly on back end development in many other languages. What little GUI experience I have has been with C++ (years ago) and most recently with HTML.
I know what I want to develop, and even have the GUI design for my application drawn out. I just need a good book that can walk me through developing the interface in Java.
I already have several books on Java. But, I find them somewhat limiting because they don't help me build the app from the ground up.
Yes, I've tried the online book on the Sun site, "The Jfc Swing Tutorial: Guide to Constructing Gui's".
Please offer some recommendations and reasons on why you like the book.
Thanks.

A few comments to that ....
the first thing is understanding the LayoutManagers, that are available.
I will give you a short guideline where they are usefull:
FlowLayout - usefull for JLabel-JTextField combinations or several JButtons
BorderLayout - usefull for the structure of basic containers
CardLayout - usefull for every area of the screen, where you want to appear different panels
GridLayout - usefull for a group of same-sized components laid out in a grid
GridBagLayout - usefull for a group of components, that have different sizes, very flexible
JTabbedPane - a special container, that is similar to CardLayout but with visible tabs to switch panels
Normally you can say "I want that group at the bottom of the frame, that other group at its left side, that toolbar at its top" - if you can say so - that shouts for BorderLayout. If you can say "in this area I want to use several panels" that means CardLayout or a JTabbedPane.
You see, if you have an idea, what the LayoutManagers do, you know exactly which area needs what Layout - so you have a guideline, which LayoutManager to use in that panel.
To make an example:
You want 3 buttons centered at the bottom of a frame - this 3 buttoms should be of that size, that is needed by the button texts. So, what to do:
1. create a JPanel with FlowLayout
2. create the buttons and add it to that JPanel
3. create another JPanel with BorderLayout
4. add that first JPanel to the second JPanel at BorderLayout.CENTER
5. add this Panel to the ContentPane of the frame at BorderLayout.SOUTH
that is a simple panel in panel construct - placing 3 buttons centered at the bottom of the frame. You have to play with that different LayoutManagers a little bit - the way you stick one panel in another changes the look of the GUI - if you know, how it changes (by playing with the examples of the tutorial), you will have that "from the ground"-experience, you are looking for - believe me.

Book Recommendation for PE 5

Could someone recommend a good "working" book for PE5 - the book that comes with the PE5 software doesn't really provide step by step information on how to do many basic things.

Depends exactly what you want to do with the program You could do a lot worse than get the "Missing Manual" - excellent book and the author hangs out here helping people for free.

Book recommendation for database applications

I'm a LabView newbie. My primary work will be file and data manipulation using the database connectivity toolset. Are there any books available to help with database applications?
Thanks

Hello Paul,
I cannot offer much recommendation on books about development of database
applications from the database end (though user ratings through places like
Amazon have usually treated me right). If you are interested in
learning more about how the Database Toolkit for LabVIEW can be used, the Database Connectivity Toolkit
Manual is a great (and comprehensive) resource.
Hope this helps!

Seeking book recommendation for DBA best practices

Good afternoon,
I've been reading a lot of documentation on Oracle and learning quite a number of commands and different ways of doing things. The problem is knowing the commands is one thing, creating the context where they are appropriate/best is another.
I am looking for a book where the authors share their experience as to "how to do it right" as far as database configuration, backups and all the "details" that are involved in setting up a sound, reliable, robust, manageable and productive environment. A book where the authors would present the "why" do it this way and not the other would be great.
Effectively, I want to gain "experience" vicariously ;)
Thank you for your help,
John.

Hi John,
I am sure that you would like the Scaling book. Reason for that is the snippet of information that you have mentioned about your past work, the book goes into great detail of internals. As I said internals and you do research a lot, bookmark this site http://www.ixora.com.au (Steve Adams) and also get his book,
http://www.amazon.com/Oracle8i-Internal-Services-Latches-Memory/dp/156592598X
Fair warning that lots of stuff has undergone many changes since the book is written and Steve doesn't update the site also now but still, both are a very valuable resource to get into the deep of (some) things and get more clarity.
I am too small to say anything about Jonathan, all I can say that he is just great! His book Practical Oracle 8i is really very good and also, you should bookmark his blog and site, http://jonathanlewis.wordpress.com and www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk. I would strongly suggest to read the co-operative FAQ from his website, http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/faq/ind_faq.html
Yes, its not correct to attribute something as a best practice given the fact that rarely, two environments would be essentially same. That's why I don't like to call anything as a best practice because when I say that in my sessions, it spreads a message that it must be done but actually the answer (mostly) is may (or may not) be . I suggest to know more about Oracle db's work, know what it can do, what are the tools it provides and then use them all wisely :) . Not sure how much I am correct :) .
Regards
Aman....

Need a product recommendation for small network

Hello All!
I just started a small computer and network consulting company (in addition to my "day job"). I work for a huge company with several hundred sites, all Cisco networking of course. I am also setting up a small network and computer consulting company to do on the side and will be dealing with small companies and helping them with their network needs. Anyway, I am looking for a entry level Cisco product because my Linksys just isn't going to cut it any more. I want to set up 3 servers and I currently have 5 static IP's from Comcast. I want something that would operate like a PIX515 firewall but that would obviously be overkill for what I am doing. I want the capability to set up port forwarding to the inside from my 5 external IP's. Wi-Fi isn't critical but would be a "nice to have" if it didn't cost too much more. What would be a good product for my needs? I want a NICE CISCO product but not an EXPENSIVE one, either. I am also interested in certification and possibly becoming a VAR soon. Any pointers would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
--GREG--

I would steer clear of the 500 express. Since you seem to be new to cisco products, I would use the opportunity and buy what most of your potential customers already have. Get yourself a pix/asa and a 2900 series switch as first poster suggested. If you are interested in certifications, you will need to learn the command line interface. The 500 express will do you no good as it is all gui. This is only my opinion of course. Oh, and did I see not expensive and cisco in the same sentence. :)

Portal 8.1 book recommendations ( for reading)

Hi I have recenly purchased a Portal 7.0 book which to be honest was not much use
for Potral 8.1 development. Are there any 8.1 books out there?

We are experiencing the same problem and are working on it currently. It seems the cache does not want to flush, not sure why. Will check back here later..

Book recommendation for Leopard 10.5.2?

Does anyone know if there is a "How to . . . " book on the market now for Leopard that INCLUDES the 10.5.2 update?
Thanks,
Art

With the exception of changes to Stacks (pretty minor), I don't think Leopard changed very much functionally with the release of 10.5.2.
I like David Pogue's Mac books.

Any recommendations for free network scanning software?

I'm trying to find some software that will allow me to capture the IP and machine names of both Macs and Windows machines. I have about 40 computers at my work and I find that I don't have my list with me all the time of who's IP is for who. If the software could include printers too, that would be great. Free is always good.
Thanks!

This one works for me...
