[OT] Book Review: A Software Engineering Approach to Labview

I ordered "A Software Engineering Approach to Labview" by Jon Conway and Steve Watts from Borders and it came in over the weekend. I went in to pick it up and was surprised at how awful the images of the VI's were. Most were blurry and unreadable. After briefly reading through it I decided to pick it up anyway since it seemed to contain some solid advise. However, when the cashier told me it was $82, I said take it back. The book is paperback, has fairly small number of pages, unreadable VI's, and over $80! I've purchased so many Microsoft-related books over the years for half the price and twice the quality, this just was unacceptable. I would be willing to purchase a pdf version (if it existed), as long as the images were clear. I was hoping to contact either of the authors, but neither seem to have a web site or email that I could track down. Does anyone know if they have a web site?
Thanks

I've just received the book.
I got it as a birthday present for my millionth birthday!
I see that the diagrams are mostly absolutely terrible (from the image
reproduction point of view). They're so bad that they simply
could have left most of them out. Still, the book looks like
it'll be an intersting read. After a first glance, I'm amazed of
how many of the ideas I'm already familiar with.....

How do I send my book reviews to the newspaper from Mac to Microsoft Word?

I've been asked to send my book reviews to the newspaper in Microsoft Word. How do I do that with an AppleBook Air?

compose the review in word (this is not included, you need to purchase it if you do not already have it) then attach it in an email to the newspaper.

I am writing a book review in iBooks

Using my ipad2 I read a book, gave it five stars, then entered the text for a book review. How do I submit the review. I moved the keyboard expecting to see a submit button. There is no oblivious way to submit my review. I need some help here. Thanks in advance. I am stuck.

FYI: You may terminate a specific app by just quickly double clicking the home button (this action displays the apps currently running at the bottom of the screen that you have control over), then select the app you want to terminate in this case iBooks by holding your finger on the app icon until you see the red dot with the minus, then simply touch the red dot and the job terminates cleanly without having to reboot the system.

Installed WD My Book 1TB drive software, it killed my internet access

MacBook Pro 15" 2.4 GHz with Leopard 10.5.1.
I installed the "My Book RAID Manager" software included with the WD My Book Premium Edition II 1 TB dual drive system.
Upon reboot, I can connect to my wireless router, but I can access no internet sites. This worked fine before.
I can connect via afp:// to another computer on my network, though.
when i opened terminal, i was getting the message that the following file was corrupt:
/var/db/dyld/dyldshared_cacheppc
i did some research and was able to to fix that with the command updatedyld_sharedcache -force, but my internet is not working.
any ideas how to fix this?

Would you "Solve" this question please ?

Book Review Name

How do I change the name that shows up in iBooks when I write a book review?

The instructions concerned CDs; the DVDs work in a similar way:
However, from your follow-up i get the sense that you want to "rip" the DVD in order to view it away from your computer, for example on your iPod, iPad or other mobile device. There are ways to achieve this but the main concern has to do with the status of the DVD. If it is a commercial DVD (educational or otherwise notwithstanding) it is probably copyright protected, which means that it is illegal to rip the files since the encryption code to protect is there to prevent piracy. I am not about to impugn your intentions by imputing nefarious goals to you, but the Digital Rights Management concept is instituted to protect the intellectual property of the copyright owner. You are allowed to make an archival copy for safekeeping; it would be better to ask among your tech-savvy friends for the method since it is contrary to the Terms of Use to suborn illegal actions here.

I have a mac book running leopard software, 10.5.8 how can I get my computor up to date as loin requires minimum 10.6.6

I have a mac book running leopard software, 10.5.8 how can I get my computor up to date as lion requires minimum 10.6.6.

You can upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.5 should run under10.6. See this list for compatibility with 10.6: http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/ You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any Power PC applications http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/
To upgrade your iLife and iWork. If you only want iPhoto or other single apps from iLife '11 you can get them from the App Store after you've upgraded to 10.6.6. iPhoto, iMovie or Garage Band for $15 each and Pages, Keynote or Numbers from iWork '09 for $20 each.
You can order a Snow Leopard 10.6 install disk for $29 as long as you have at least 1gb of RAM and 5gb of free space on your hard drive. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
Once you are at 10.6.8 you can buy Lion for $29 from the App Store if you have at least a model 2,1 MacBook. Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly. As for programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

I may have missed something, but I don't believe there are links directly to a specific review, only to the book overall.

Book review Essbase & Oracle OLAP The guide to Multidimensional Analysis

I won't waste the space here to talk about the book, I'll just tell you it is worth the money for it. For my full review go to
http://glennschwartzbergs-essbase-blog.blogspot.com/2010/01/book-review-oracle-essbase-oracle-olap.html

Prashant, DW environments are generally organized into multiple areas, some of which you've identified:
1. Source systems which provide data for the data warehouse
2. The "data warehouse" itself - a central repository for all the transactions, etc. collected from the source systems. Main function is to STORE all of the data in a clean, consistent manner
3. Possibly multiple datamarts that organize the base DW data into specific subsets that are meaningful to the end users. Can be ROLAP, MOLAP, HOLAP, etc.
Each of these tiers has different goals, which usually means they need separate architectures and/or hardware:
1. Don't put BI systems on top of your OLTP system...if a user writes a run-away query, it can bring down your transaction processing systems.....
2. DW can either be in 3nf or dimensional form, but its main job is to capture the low level transactions and make sure they conform to standards (including data quality, etc.) Users SOMETIMES run queries directly against DW tables, but once the DW starts getting big (i.e. terabytes) you probably don't want users hitting directly against it
3. OLAP datamarts are almost always in dimensional form, but only contain subsets of data from the DW. These are designed to hit very specific business problems, and typically are at a much higher level of detail than the DW.
Hope this helps. DON'T PUT YOUR DW or BI cubes on the OLTP system!!!

Poll - Which Version Control Software Do You Use With LabVIEW?

I wish the forums had a poll feature. I created a poll in the developer community - Which Version Control Software Do You Use With LabVIEW?

You can use a source control provider to share files among multiple users, improve security and quality, and track changes to shared projects. Use LabVIEW with third-party source control providers so you can check out files and track changes from within LabVIEW. See info. here.
Looks suspiciously like someone trying to increase hits on their blog. A coincidence that it was posted the same day as the blog post?

Book Review: A Serious Guide to OOP Design Patterns

I've just finished reviewing a new book: AdvancED ActionSpript 3.0: Design Patterns by Ben Smith, published by Apress as part of the Adobe Learning Library
I liked the book very much and I wanted to share my discovery with those of you who (like me) would like to bring the advantages of Object-Oriented Programming and Design Patterns to your Flash/AS3 application development efforts.
I posted my review (“A Serious Guide to OOP Design Patterns”) on Amazon just the other day. Take a look at my review and browse through Mr. Smith's book—if you're interested.

Every now and then I ask people if they are familiar with the book, Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software. On such occassions, I'm often surprised to hear someone respond, "Yes, I've read it." Having spent close to three years running a study group devoted to understanding the subtleties, combinations and variations of the patterns in this book and others, I am often compelled to ask these individuals if they actually believe that the book can be "read" rather than "studied"? trolling for new members?
three years? c'mon. i love the GoF book, but it's not holy writ. and it hasn't saved object-oriented software development.
sounds like you need to move on to a new topic. go buy another book.

Any suggestions for book review website ?

Hi,
I recently bought a .Mac package and iLife so I have everything I need to set up a basic website.
I am planning to review books on part of this site and have a couple of questions:
1. How do I post thumbnail pictures of the covers of the book which will enlarge when clicked on ?
2. If I want to post a link to Amazon.com, is this possible on a .Mac website or against some sort of business restrictions Apple has ?

To answer question number one this will take some post publish editing of your page code. Look into a script called Lightbox or Greybox. Both are very cool, work with all browsers, and are not to hard to install. To answer question number two you can put affiliate links up but it is against .mac rules. My advice to you would be to look into another hosting service for many reasons. More space, less money, faster service, more reliable service, and so on. 1and1.com is what I use and they have been great. Another popular one is godaddy.com. Hope this helps.

Can't restore address book from Desktop Software 6.0.0.43

To my regret, I had to do a security wipe in order to activate my Blackberry 8830 (World Edition) with my company's BES. (I had used BES in the past with a different company.)
Now, I'm trying to do a custom restore of address book contacts and memos from a backup file ("Blackberry 8830.ipd") using Desktop Software 6.0.0.42
I see that I have 269 address book entries and 2 memos in the restore window, so I assume that the backup file has not been corrupted.
When I click "Restore," I do not get any error messages, but no contacts appear in my Phone Book after I get the successful restore confirmation -- except for the generic Customer Care entry which I had retrieved from my Phone SIM card.
I am aware of Issue DT755153 from http://docs.blackberry.com/en/smartphone_users/deliverables/18351/BlackBerry_Desktop_Software-Releas...
Could a permissions or synch setting on my company's BES be the cause of my address book restore problem? I'm not sure if understand the full implications of DT755153. I am afraid of doing a full restore because I don't want to mess with my BES activation.
Can I manually change/delete a setting in the Service Book that would allow me to complete my restore?
Other Notes:
1) I have checked my address book database size after each restore and it's still 1KB (that 1 record).
2) I have checked for other contacts on my phone SIM card.
3) I have not switched phones or devices.
4) I tried rebooting my phone by pulling out the battery (while it was still on), but still no luck.
I would appreciate any other suggestions. I really need access to my contacts from my backup file!!!
Cheers,
TK

Hey Lenfrancis,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Do you have any other email accounts setup like Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail? If you do, you might need to remove the *email address {SYNC}* service book prior to setting up the synchronization.
