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 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 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 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.

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.

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....

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 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!

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.

Needed: Book(s) recommendations for beginner, needing to come up to speed for complexity quickly

Hello all,
I've been kind of thrown into the need to learn LV quickly. I've gone through the LV 101 videos, and got a decent start....but need to learn more in-depth quickly. I'm looking maybe for a book on amazon, that will get me as a noob started quickly...but also, something needed beyond just the basics of trying to explain the concept of the front panel and block diagram screens....
I'm needing to get into learning how to wire up things like even structures...being able to allow the user to right click an object on the screen, present a drop down menu, and change the object based on their selection. I've posted here before looking how to do multi-colored indicators..and starting to get a grip on some of that, but still not yet...
I'm looking at an example of an older version of the app I'm trying to create and improve on...and see how they were changing a boolean indicator (they used a round one, but was flat unlike the LED shaped ones)..but they were able to change the colors of the text and control with three different background and text combinations both when it was clicked, and programatically when a trigger was pressed...etc.
I'm seeing a structure they used called a "property node" and using colors under that to change it, it appears....I need to learn to understand that....but the application I have is a bit complex for me to track and figure out everything as it flows....
I thought I'd seen a recommendation for a book on this forum called: Labview for Everyone...but that is dated 2006...would this be too old since I'm working with LabView 2011?
Anyway, I'm looking through all the stuff in the NI site's Knowledgebase....but think getting a quality book that is a bit structured taking me from basics to more complex things would be the best way for me to learn and organize my thoughts.
I've programmed (awhile back) with Delphi for Object Pascal...and some java with Eclipse. But with Delphi, I have worked with an IDE...putting object on a screen, and then setting and programming properties...but LV is a bit different, and I'm just not familiar with all the objects available to me..and the graphical programming rather than writing code in there to handle things..is a bit new to me.
Anyway, hoping ya'll can give me some good book recommendations...and any links to web info greatly appreciated too.
Thank you in advance!!

cayenne,
without giving any special suggestion, i want to point out:
Even "out dated" books can give you valuable information since the programming paradigm of LabVIEW (dataflow) is still valid.
Ok, we have to admit that information on certain elements as well as esp. performance might not be true because of the changes LV had undergone over the years (e.g. compiler changes in LV 2009/2010).
Adding to this, i urge you not only to look for technical expertise but also on "how do i approach a development task". I find this link a helpful source for this.
hope this helps,
Norbert
Thank you for the reply. I'm looking at the link and it looks informative.
I went ahead and bought the book LabView for everyone. One thing however, I read in one review, that the book is light on the topic of event driven vi''s......which is something I'm definitiely needing information on....simple examples would be even better.
Any links or book recommendations on this particular topic?
Thank you,

Which O/S upgrade is recommended for a MAC Book Pro17 with Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz

Which O/S upgrade is recommended for a MAC Book Pro17 with Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz
I am using os x 10.4.11.
Do I need to upgrade to 10.5.xx? Will this platform suport 10.6.xx? If 10.6 will work do I need to install 10.5 first?
Thanks...

Hi. Your computer can be upgraded to either Leopard 10.5 or Snow Leopard 10.6. 10.6 will be much easier to find and will be less expensive. Leopard is not required prior to upgrading to Snow Leopard.

Hello , I want to ask some question about ipads \ How powerful is the iPad? How useful is it for reading books, newspaper or magazines or for surfing the web? Can you identify any shortcomings of the device? please help me :(

Hello ,
I want to ask some question about ipads \
How powerful is the iPad?
How useful is it for reading books, newspaper or magazines or for surfing the web?
Can you identify any shortcomings of the device?
please help me

it's less powerful than your average computer. THink of it like a netbook but with a better processor.
It'll do fine for surfing (although if you browse a lot of flash based sites you will need to get a third party browser since safari doesn't accommodate it)
You may do OK on reading books, papers or magazines, especially if they have apps, but the ipad's screen is backlit, so it doesn't work well outdoors and you may need to fiddle with the brightness so that you don't get eye strain (it's just like doing too much reading from a computer screen)
I would say the biggest short comings are data transfer. Apple's preferred work flow is that everything is done via iTunes or the internet....well people dont' always have 100% reliable always on internet access so you can find yourself in a situation where you can't get things on/off the iPad.
By and large, it's a good device for day to day stuff, but is not a computer replacement.

Hi...
If you are referring to iBooks on iOS based devices, no, they cannot be read on the Mac OS X. Two different operating systems.

Looking for book recommendations and version comparisons

My company is switching to WLS 10.0 (from a non-WebLogic server), and I would like to find a book on the subject. Ideally, but not necessarily, it would cover J2EE as well. I have been looking around a bit, and most of the books cover previous versions, so I am a little concerned about how relevant they are. For example, there is an O'Reilly Press book that sounds excellent, but it is based on v8.1. (And the J2ee stuff might be out of date as well.) Is that still a worthwhile book? What about a 9.2 book? Or a 10.3 book?
If there are any particularly good places to start in the vast pile of information at oracle.com, I would like to know that as well. Thanks all.

I compiled an a more recent review of WebLogic books as of end 2011 here:
