"This [book] provides tutorial on the operating systems concept and the UNIX environment. It covers the necessary topics for any UNIX user to function independently and perform most of the everyday, routine tasks. It also provides a firm foundation for exploring more advanced topics. Commands from the Linux operating system and its Bourne Again shell are also included"--Back cover.
This text explains how to integrate Tex - the original version of LaTeX - with other commercially available software and hardware, solve user-problems and set-up software links using LaTex for Internet communication.
To build today's highly distributed, networked applications and services, you need deep mastery of sockets and other key networking APIs. One book delivers comprehensive, start-to-finish guidance for building robust, high-performance networked systems in any environment: UNIX Network Programming, Volume 1, Third Edition.
A true text/tutorial-rather than an operating system manual or UNIX reference-this volume covers the necessary topics for the UNIX user to function independently and perform most of the everyday, routine tasks, and develops a firm foundation for exploring more advanced topics. To ensure that students develop a solid understanding-and appreciation-of where UNIX fits into to the operating system mix, it covers operating system concepts in general before focusing on UNIX and the UNIX environment. *NEW - Coverage of several new commands - e.g., tar and FTP commands. *Textbook format, rather than a technical/reference or a self-learning manual, guides students step-by-step through the material, assuming no previous knowledge of the subject. *Coverage presented in clear, concise, visually-supported segments, enhances readability and comprehension and offers a ready reference at the computer. *UNIX screen simulations, offers visual representations of topics under discussion. *Step-by-step practice examples - Throughout each chapter, helps students practice commands with confidence and better understand the complexities of the system. *In-chapter pedagogy - Opens chapters with fundamental
UNIX Unbounded: A Beginning Approach is ideal for introductory courses in the UNIX operating system. It is also serves as a suitable introduction to UNIX for professionals. Using clear-cut examples, this tutorial introduces readers to the UNIX operating system, including its historical development, major versions, and important features. It covers the topics necessary for users to function independently and handle routine tasks, giving readers a foundation for exploring more advanced UNIX topics.
Easing students through a complete survey of the C programming language, this consistently paced text begins with an introduction to the language at a level that is understandable by non-C programmers, progresses to intermediate level coverage, then finishes off with more complex concepts, with each topic building upon what precedes it. Current, accurate, and rich with example programs and diagrams, it uses a general purpose approach that gives students the freedom to apply the C programming to a variety of environments, providing a solid foundation in the language that will enable them to move on to more advanced/ reference type books with confidence.* Accessible to non-C/C++ programmers. * Assumes only computer skills - no programming skills. * A focus on pure C and C++ language concepts and syntax - Not on programming design techniques, program development methodologies, specific business or science applications, or any specific compilers or development environments. * Provides students with a solid C or C++ foundation - so they can apply C/C++ programming to a variety of environments, and can move on to more advanced/reference type books and compiler help facilities with ease
In The Book Unbound, scholars and editors examine how best to use new technological tools and new methodologies with artefacts of medieval literature and culture. Taking into consideration English, French, Anglo-Norman, and Latin texts from several periods, the contributors examine and re-evaluate traditional approaches to and conclusions about medieval books and the cultural texts they contain - literary, dramatic, legal, historical, and musical. The essays range from detailed examinations of specific codices to broader theoretical discussions on past and present editorial practices, from the benefits and disadvantages of digital editions versus print editions to the importance of including 'extratextual' material such as variant texts, illustrations, intertexts, and other information about a work's cultural contexts, history, and use. The Book Unbound presents important contributions to the discussions surrounding the editing of medieval texts, including the use of digital technology with historical and literary documents, while offering practical ideas on editing print and hypertext. The collection will be invaluable to historians, literary scholars, and editors.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th Asian Computing Science Conference, ASIAN 2002, held in Hanoi, Vietnam in December 2002. The 17 revised full papers presented together with two invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from 30 submissions. The conference was devoted to Internet computing and modeling, grid computing, peer-to-peer systems, and cluster computing. Among the issues addressed are scalable infrastructure for global data grids, distributed checkpointing, list coloring, parallel debugging, combinatorial optimization, video on demand servers, caching, grid environments, network enabled servers, multicast communication, dynamic resource allocation, traffic engineering, path-vector protocols, Web-based Internet broadcasting, Web-based middleware, and subscription-based Internet services.
