What is a good rmi book?

can someone please recommned a good rmi book, i know some things about rmi, having taken an advanced os class at college, so i'm familiar with stubs, and rpc, but know little about how to program with rmi. something for beginners, with examples, not all hello world programs.
Thank you.

I am reading �Java RMI� by William Grosso (O�Reilly 2002). I recommend it. I especially like his emphasis on design principles. I wish there were more code to study. I also appreciate explanations on details that are presented as notes and boxes. It�s a very enjoyable book to read, a nice presentation.
My introduction to RMI was chapter 5 (79 pages) of Core Java Volume II by Cay Horstmann (Sun MicroSystems Press 2002). I also recommend this. He has lots of examples and very helpful explanations and insights. I vaguely remember having to set up a Tomcat Web Server for one of the examples.
There are actually two O�Reilly RMI books. The other one is �Java Distributed Computing� by Jim Fairley (1998). I have seen it in bookstores, but I have not read it.
�Java Network Programming� by Elliot Rusty Harold (O�Reilly 2000) suggests �Java Distributed Computing� as further reading in his chapter 18 on RMI. This chapter is short, but as is the entire book, without peer in clarity of explanations. I must admit I only dip into this chapter when I am curious, I haven�t read all of it. But I really like the section Under the Hood.
(Also, somewhere on these forums recently, a person was asking about serialization. One of the replies recommended the 40 page chapter on serialization in Java RMI by Grosso.)

What is a good java book

I am new to java. I had a class on it and the book we used in there was cumbersome and unorganized at best. I am wondering what other people have found are good books to help you get better at java. I need something that I can find answers to basic questions and also more advanced ones. If possible I'm looking for one that can also work like a reference book where if I need to know something specific that I can find that pretty quickly too.
Is there such a thing out there? Or am I looking for the impossible? Please help... anyone?

Core Java Fundamentals - ISBN - 0130471771
Core Java Advanced features - ISBN - 0130927384
These assume you know another object orientated language.
The best refrence is the java documentation available at java.sun.com or it can be downloaded.

What is a good practical book to buy for Tuxedo

Hi everyone
i need to know what would be the most practical book to buy for the Tuxedo. it
doesn't have to be a manual but something thats practical.
Thanks very much
mario

I'm not worried about it at all. I might not ever use Tuxedo again.
The software will surely be maintained and updated, but Mario was asking about books.

Even if it sticks to TUX 6.x, all the basic concepts are clearly
explained and
still valid to date.
Actually it deserves an update (BEA?).

What's a good book for getting started?

I've been doing web design in HTML and ColdFusion for almost 3 years. It's clear that ColdFusion is on it's way out and I need to learn J2EE/Java/JSP etc. I have a few questions:
Java is a term I've heard associated with C++ and other types of programming as well as Web design. Are the Java/C++ Java and the Web Java basically the same type of language? Is the Web Java and JavaScript the same thing? I'm very confused!
What is a good book for getting these types of questions answered and getting started in J2EE/Java/JSP? There are quite a few variations of script languages out there and I want to make sure I learn the right stuff, ie the stuff that employers are going to be needing.
Thanks!

Here is a free online version of a good book:
http://pdf.coreservlets.com/Core-Servlets-and-JSP.pdf
Print it off or read from the screen. Otherwise, there are several good Java books out there. What I would do is go to the bookstore and thumb through a few books. Depending on what type of book you want (example based or theory) find the books that you think would satisfy your learning style. Write down the names and authors, go home and buy them used online at Amazon for tremendous discounts. This way you can buy several versus just one.

Whats a good JAVA book?

What do you think is a good Java book for someone who has a little expericne with java? I have experience in COBOL and a little touch of C, and Visual Basic? Any suggestions?
Thanks
Justin

I would suggest Java: an Introduction to Computer Science and Programming by Walter Savitch. This book assumes that the reader has no programming experience and it's aimed at students. I realize that you do have experience with COBOL, but I would recommend this one over the Core Java series to start out. Core Java volumes 1 and 2 are not good as an introduction for someone coming from a non-object oriented language. They would be a lot better for someone migrating from C++. They frequently refer to C++ and VB in their examples. They are excellent books, but better as a reference than an initial learning source.

Book on digital B&W? What makes a good B/W image?

I want to purchase a book on digital B/W photography. Ideally, it would contain information about how to take the quality of color images that are best edited into B/W. I would like information on how much contrast to look for when shooting, exposure pointers, and how to edit to B/W using Elements ( have PSE7). I need pretty basic information, not super technical information that I wouldn't understand! And, here's a basic question, "What makes a good B&W photograph?" Can you recommend a good online site or forum for B/W?

There are many ways to convert color to B&W. Newer versions of PSE have the Smart Brush which will do the trick (I don't know if PSE7 has it, I'm only on PSE2). For other methods, refer to past forum topic http://forums.adobe.com/message/2698012 where I give some examples in msg#4. As to your question about what makes a good B&W, my only answer is that it is a matter of taste. In some cases a harsh contrast looks better, in other cases a soft looks better. There is no one "correct" answer.
You might also want to search this forum for "convert black white" for many more tips and methods.

Newbie to unix / what are some good books

Hello Unix world, i'm very new to the world of Unix. Just got a sunblade (with solaris 10), and i'm in the process of putting it on a x86 machine also.
What are some good books out there for someone like me? I took linux 101 in college, but thats about it. I''m looking for a book(s)
to take me from the position that i'm currently in (equivalent to my mom on windows), and put in into a position where i will be able to take a few Certifications(solaris 10).

On hands experience is always good, when it comes to books i'ld recommend any O'Reilly book, like their "UNIX in a nutshell", even if i haven't read it myself i suppose its good :-)
I guess i could look around, drop me an email at abrante (at) gmail(dot)com if you want some more ideas about sun specific books.
Cheers,

What is reflection good for?

i heard people use reflection with rmi, but what it is good for?
if i use reflection to figure out what methods etc a class has, how do i know what they do?

Oh cool, you just gave me an idea!
Storing bean class names in a db and upon retrieval of any name, a single utility can construct an entire GUI editor panel for any variety of java bean conforming to the Java Bean specifications. This way, if ever I want to add a new Panel to an application for a new module or set of features, all I would hypothetically have to do is create the bean and add the name to the db and load up my app without even having to create the new GUI interface for editing it.
thanks!
Oh and one other additional thing reflection is good for, is interfacing with XML config files using the attribute names as identifiers for locating the setters (E.g., Spring Framework) as well as a bunch of other related XML things.
Your imagination is your only limit. I would excercise caution in where and how you use it though. Usually best to use in initialization routines rather than runtime functions or during exhaustive processes.

What is a good bitrate for my video (mp4 website embed)?

I'm trying to encode some music videos with PE to embed on my website as mp4 (streaming with jw player).
How do I figure out a bit rate for maximum quality yet no buffering delays. I should probably assume some of my viewers will have relatively slow 1mb dsl connections.
From what I understand, these are good settings:
share>computer: Quicktime/.mov
Video Tab
*Video Codec: H.264
*Quality: 100
*Field Type: Progressive
*Pixel Aspect Ratio: square
*Set Bitrate: checked
Audio Tab
*Audio Code: AAC
*Output Channels: Stereo
*Frequency: 44kHz
My video dimensions are either 560x315 or 600x334.
I saw in another thread that 8000kbps bitrate is good for a 720p youtube encode, though that obviously makes a huge file for website streaming. Been trying to figure it out, but very confused. Thanks for any suggestions!

These output settings should give you excellent results on most oline video sites.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/623549?tstart=0
However, if you're outputting video for a web site, here's what I recommend in my book:
Share/Computer/MOV (this will produce an MP4):
Video:
Video Codec:H.264
Quality: 65%
Frame Rate: 15fps
Field Type: Progressive
Limit Data Rate to 55 kbps
Audio:
Audio Codec: AAC

What are some good, standard, help strategies?

I'm learning JSP, coming from a Cold Fusion background.
The biggest difficulty I've found in learning a new language is learning where to get help. This means:
1) Which book(s) to buy (there's a bazillion of 'em)
2) Where can I get help locally? Is there an IDE that is better for JSP? does any IDE provide in-depth help and docs on JSP? or code samples? Is there a detailed langauage reference I can download and use, or import into my IDE of choice (which is Homesite/Cold Fusion Studio)?
3) Where can I get help online? What are the best web sites to provide answers using tutorials, articles, forums, and/or sample code? I'm sure this site here at Sun has great stuff, but is it 'real-world' information?
I realize there are a ton of books and sites to help. The problem may be that, because there are so many, newbies have a hard time knowing which ones are the best for us. We don't have the time, money, or resources to evaualuate all the books and websites that are avaialable. I think I need a short list of the most popular and common sites and books.
Also, For the above information, I need resources that can provide both newbie information ('cause I'm new to the language), intermediate information for people who have coding experience and catch on quickly, and advanced info for the nitty gritty occasions that inevitably pop up while coding.
I have learned some of the best help strategies for Cold Fusion, but any time I start learning a different language, I struggle to develop a new and efficient help strategy. What are some good suggestions?

Try professional JSP from Wrox Publication - a good book, but you will have to sit and read it, patiently - there is no shortcut to anything.

What are the good ways to send a big file( 20MB-100MB) file to my friend?

what are the good ways to send a big file( 20MB-100MB) file to my friend?
Thanks in advance

if this is with the internet, iChat is probly your best bet,
but if you just want a transfer,
plug a firewire into both of your computers, shutdown one of them, hold "T" and press the power button, the restarted computer should pop up as an external drive on the second computer.

What's a good external keyboard for MBP

Given that the MBP keyboard is so inadequate and Apple is seemingly too stubborn to give us a good one, an external keyboard is mandatory. However, I'm not sure what's good in the Apple world. There is, of course, the Apple keyboards and I'm going to take a look, but there are also some from Logitech and others. Does anyone have any suggestions on good ones? I purchased the iHome IH-K236LS, but just looking at it and feeling it and seeing that it requires a power cord is not making me feel like it's a good purchase. Plus the mouse feels incredibly cheap. Like something from a kids toy. And it requires two of the three USB ports (but does add two on the keyboard). Anyway, I'm thinking I'd better check into other possibilities, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

People have such different views of what makes a "good" keyboard, GTGeek, that it is almost impossible to make suggestions without getting a better idea of what your requirements are.
I grew up using manual typrewiters (Olivetti Lettera 32's etc), migrated to IBM and Brother electrics, and then nearly 30 years of different computer and data terminal keyboards.
In the early years, perhaps not surprisingly, the closer a computer got to approximating that of an IBM golfball the happier I was. Few computer keyboards seemed to have the "feel" or travel that I was used to. Despite this i gradually found I adapted to almost all of them.
I still have many of my older computers and I often get a bit of a shock when I use them these days! My favourite in days gone by on a portable was on the NEC8021a, but today when I use it the keys seem too sculpted and to have too much travel (both features I once really liked about it!)
The keyboards on modern MBPs , of course, are at the opposite extreme - flat keys and little travel. The same goes for Apple's own current external keyboards. I now use them all the time, but if you don't like the keyboard on a current MBP I doubt you will want to yourself. The feel is very similar.
The older white Apple Bluetooth keyboards had more travel , and more sculpting and a nice feeling of "solidity", but can only be found second hand these days.
I personally like the Apple Pro wired keyboards in days gone by, but, as with the white bluetooth they are now history.
I have two Logitech wireless and and a Microsoft USB keyboard tucked away in the draw (together with just about every keyboard Apple have ever made) . The Logitech and MS ones feel very "plasticky" compared to Apple offerings, but, as I said, I have simply adapted to the latter over time. You might find them fine if that is what you are used to.
On Mac notebooks my favourites in the past were those on the PB1400, the PB 12 and the earlier models of the MBP, but I've adapted to the current MBP ones now as well.
All of which adds up to the fact that the only way to decide something like this is to test them yourself, and, perhaps, to be prepared for a period of adjustment whatever you get before you can really judge it. Familiarity breeds contempt, they say, but in the case of keyboards it has always seemed quite the opposite to me. What you have been using most in recent times always seems to be the best after a while!
Cheers

What's a good level to record voiceover?

Hi,
I'm completely new to audio production, and need to record a voiceover. I've got my mic hooked up, and am getting a level of some sort. What I'm wondering is, what's a good level? I mean, I understand that the closer to 0 dB I can get, the better the quality of the sound. But, in practical terms, as one's voice fluctuates, what "general" level should I shoot for? How much level is too little?
It seems that subtle movements of my head in relation to the microphone, or a little extra "energy", and I get clipped. Can anyone offer any suggestions/advice?
Thanks,
Vic

Hi Vixter101,
To add a limiter to the selected track click on the 'i' button on bottom right of GB.
The Info Pane opens. Here you can add/Edit the effects on the Real Instrument Track. You should find the 'AUPeakLimiter' is what you are looking for.
If you need extra help post here again. There are some useful videos by Apple.

I personally recommend the macprovideo guys for video tutorials. The Garageband 08 and 09 tutorials are comprehensive and easy to follow.

What's a good file recovery program for a MacBook Pro running IS 10.7.5?

Hey gang - I ordered a miniStack 4TB external hard drive from OWC a few months ago during a long overseas trip. I finally unwrapped it and started dumping data to the drive from the 1TB drives (also from OWC) I used via my MacBook Pro. I connected the 4TB to the laptop with FW800.
I came back from the gym (gone about two hours) and saw a "the drive wasn't disconnected properly..." window. There was a clicking noise coming from the drive, which means mechanical failure.
I went into Disk Utility and the drive is there but it's grayed out. I changed cables to USB 3.0. Unplugged the drive. Shut down the laptop. Then went through the start up and nadda.
So before I run off a disk repair place in town and spend $1000, what's a good hard drive recovery program to use to pull the data? I only dumped 1.5TBs until the 4TB and have other drives to dump that data too if I need to.
Thanks.
Cheers,
Bill.

General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service, such as Data Recovery by DriveSavers, which is very expensive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
