FreeBSD is by far the most popular version of BSD®, the legendary
operating system that has contributed a great deal to every version of
Unix® in use today (including Mac OS® X). Originally a community effort
by the University of California at Berkeley, FreeBSD was aimed at
making Unix a little friendlier and easier to use. By the time other
free operating systems came along, BSD was firmly established and very
reliable. And it continues to be today. For seven years, the FreeBSD
community has relied on Greg Lehey's classic, The Complete FreeBSD,
to guide them through its configuration and administration. The 4th
edition, covering version 5 of FreeBSD, is now available through
O'Reilly Community Press. The Complete FreeBSD is an eminently
practical guidebook that explains not only how to get a computer up and
running with the FreeBSD operating system, but also how to turn it into
a highly functional and secure server that can host large numbers of
users and disks, support remote access, and provide web service, mail
service, and other key parts of the Internet infrastructure. The book
provides in-depth information on installation and updates, back-ups,
printers, RAID, various Internet services, firewalls, the graphical X
Window system, and much more. Author Greg Lehey is a member of the
FreeBSD core team and has been developing, documenting, and advocating
for FreeBSD for nearly ten years. Whether you're an experienced Unix
user or just interested in learning more about this free operating
system and how you can put it to work for you, this do-it-yourself BSD
documentation will provide the information you need. The Complete FreeBSD
is the second release in the O'Reilly Community Press Series. Unlike
classic O'Reilly animal books, which are created to fill an information
void, the Community Press titles provide convenient printed copies of
documentation that is already available online. O'Reilly's role in the
series is limited to providing manufacturing and distribution services
rather than editorial development, so that each Community Press title
reflects the editorial voice and organization of the community that has
created it.
The need for a modern source-code management strategy in the
distributed open-source community is paramount. The benevolent
dictatorship model of open-source maintainers is only quasi-stable, but
it is far better than the other extreme: the chaos of democratic code
development.
The best available compromise is the concurrent versioning system (CVS), which introduces proctored code merging into source code management. CVS is ideally suited for worldwide open-source development, and the world is ready for monographs that address the management issues that Per Cederqvist explicitly avoided in his fine 164-page postscript manual distributed with the CVS tar-ball. What is the role of a maintainer/manager in establishing test protocols for code merges? What minimal functional level of developer communications is necessary for merges to remain stable? Is a maintainer-less release possible?
These questions go largely unanswered in Karl Fogel's new Open Source Development with CVS. Fogel's 300-page book consists of chapters alternating between CVS basics and common code maintenance issues. He includes a few anecdotes from open-source lore and lots of nonspecific commonsense guidelines on team software development.
Fogel is at his best when he is engaging us in thinking about what should and should not be under CVS control. He points out that complex relationships exist between developing code and its dependencies on intimately related applications, such as build tools themselves (gcc, autoconf) or partner applications (e.g., the server's client or the client's server). His brief discussion of strategies is too short to be satisfying.
Frustratingly, this book is chock-full of postmodern self-indulgences, such as his boasting reverence for technological ignorance. The discipline needed by good maintainers is missing here; Fogel's informal prose is often grating, and his copious parenthetical remarks are distracting or bullying (they sure are); one wonders where his editor was. Ultimately, his management arguments boil down to an endorsement for the benevolent dictatorship model--a safe conclusion, but one that seems not to use CVS's merging capability for all it's worth. To the question of how to run a project, he responds, "Well, we're all still trying to figure that out, actually." True, and he isn't there yet, but at least he has the questions right. --Peter Leopold --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.The popular first edition was one of the first books available on development and implementation of open source software using CVS. The second edition explains how CVS affects the architecture and design of applications, and has been enhanced with more value-added material covering strategies, third-party tools, scalability, client access limits, and overall server administration for CVS.

Do you love video games? Ever wondered if you could create one of your
own, with all the bells and whistles? It's not as complicated as you'd
think, and you don't need to be a math whiz or a programming genius to
do it. In fact, everything you need to create your first game,
"Invasion of the Slugwroths," is included in this book and CD-ROM.
Author David Conger starts at square one, introducing the tools of the
trade and all the basic concepts for getting started programming with
C++, the language that powers most current commercial games. Plus, he's
put a wealth of top-notch (and free) tools on the CD-ROM, including the
Dev-C++ compiler, linker, and debugger--and his own LlamaWorks2D game
engine. Step-by-step instructions and ample illustrations take you
through game program structure, integrating sound and music into games,
floating-point math, C++ arrays, and much more. Using the sample
programs and the source code to run them, you can follow along as you
learn. Bio: David Conger has been programming professionally for over
23 years. Along with countless custom business applications, he has
written several PC and online games. Conger also worked on graphics
firmware for military aircraft, and taught computer science at the
university level for four years. Conger has written numerous books on
C, C++, and other computer-related topics. He lives in western
Washington State and has also published a collection of Indian folk
tales.The first video game I ever played (at age 13) was Pong. It was a very simple ping-pong simulation. During my teenage years, a few, more advanced games appeared on the market. Most notable were the Atari games such as Missile Command, a nuclear warfare simulator. When I was 19, I went to live for a couple of years in Japan. There I discovered a whole new worldseveral, in fact.
Zend's new PHP 5 Certification Exam represent an excellent tool for
professional PHP developers who want to distinguish themselves in their
field. php|architect's Zend PHP 5 Certification Study Guide, edited and
produced by the publishers of php|architect magazine, provides the most
comprehensive and thorough preparation tool for developers who wish to
take the exam. This book provides complete coverage of every topic that
is part of the exam, including: ? PHP Basics ? Functions ? Arrays ?
Strings and Patterns ? Web Programming ? Object Oriented Programming ?
Database Programming ? Object-oriented Design ? XML and Web Services ?
Security ? Streams and Network Programming ? Differences Between PHP 4
and 5 Written by PHP professionals and Zend Certified PHP 5 Engineers
Davey Shafik and Ben Ramsey, and reviewed by core PHP developer Derick
Rethans, this is the perfect book for every prospective Zend Certified
PHP Engineer candidate!With PHP breaking new ground in the enterprise arena, the establishment of a ratified certification was, some might say, inevitable. However, for me, it couldn’t come soon enough—and I was ecstatic when Zend launched their PHP 4 Certification. With more than 1,500 certified engineers to date, there is no doubt that their endeavour has been a success.
Now, with the introduction of the long-awaited PHP 5 certification, Zend has once again raised the bar for PHP developers everywhere. This examination is much broader, and requires much more than just theoretical knowledge—in order to pass the test, candidates need real-world knowledge in addition to a solid theoretical background.
The effect of the PHP 5 certification, for me, is even more profound than that of the original certification, and I believe that it will become the gold standard for those looking to hire PHP-centric Web Developers. I think that it is apt to consider Zend’s work a job well done, and to applaud those who invest the time and effort needed to become Zend Certified Engineers.

"This book is not just another SQL text. The author's use of simple yet
clear examples to illustrate difficult concepts throughout the text
makes this a perfect book for use in an introductory database systems
class as a supplement or as an introductory reference for the novice
practitioner."- Paul Fortier, University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth
"The book lives up to its title: it is a very practical guide. The authors clearly know their SQL and manage to write about the language in a step-by-step style that progresses smoothly from the simple to the more difficult aspects of the language. The profuse use of examples, each with an accompanying motivation and explanation of the results, lets the reader follow even complex topics without a constant struggle. The authors have even included examples that illustrate common errors programmers make, explaining the right way to perform the task. It doesn't hurt that the sample application is based on something everybody uses every day: food."
- Jim Melton, Oracle Corporation

Brian Noyes' writing style easily captures your attention as he
elaborates on all aspects of data binding in his book. He has a
refreshingly clear and crisp delivery as he starts each chapter with a
simple tour of each topic, and then leads you into practical concerns
for sound practices and extensibility opportunities. Most importantly,
as Brian explains approaches to data-binding architecture, patterns of
usage, the value of data sets, binding controls and the rest, he always
describes how he reaches his recommendations on the topic. This book is
perfect for newcomers to .NET 2.0, but also for those that have some
experience. Anyone who cares about data in their applications (okay,
that should be almost everyone) is guaranteed to learn something new
and useful by reading Brian's book." --Michele Leroux Bustamante,
IDesign chief architect, Microsoft regional director, and MVP"Brian has
saved me a lot of time. I'm writing The Hitchhiker's Guide to Visual
Studio and SQL Server 2005 (7th Edition) and I'm not going to have to
cover data binding nearly as deeply because Brian has done it for me.
His book gets right to the meat of the subject and makes data binding
look easy.I was also pleased to see that the book focuses on the
misunderstood and under-applied Windows Forms architecture. It's a
must-read for anyone trying to make their application more interactive
and to leverage the new Visual Studio 2005 technology. I'm planning to
point my readers to this resource when they need an in-depth treatment
of data binding." --William Vaughn, president, Beta V Corporation"Data
binding has finally come of age in Windows applications. Back in the
Visual Studio 6.0 days, I ignored data binding completely and wrote my
own repetitive code to encapsulate my business logic. With Visual
Studio 2005, we finally have a robust and compelling data-binding
technology. To ignore it today would make you inefficient and put you
behind the curve. Brian delivers a clear and concise discussion of a
core topic of development for Windows today. A combination of an
easy-to-follow conversational yet technical tone, excellent examples,
and solid explanations make this a must-read for any developer writing
for Windows or learning to write for Windows."
Silverlight is a lightweight browser plug–in that frees your code from the traditional confines of the browser.

Beginning Linux Programming, Fourth Edition continues its unique
approach to teaching UNIX programming in a simple and structured way on
the Linux platform. Through the use of detailed and realistic examples,
students learn by doing, and are able to move from being a Linux
beginner to creating custom applications in Linux. The book introduces
fundamental concepts beginning with the basics of writing Unix programs
in C, and including material on basic system calls, file I/O,
interprocess communication (for getting programs to work together), and
shell programming. Parallel to this, the book introduces the toolkits
and libraries for working with user interfaces, from simpler terminal
mode applications to X and GTK+ for graphical user interfaces. Advanced
topics are covered in detail such as processes, pipes, semaphores,
socket programming, using MySQL, writing applications for the GNOME or
the KDE desktop, writing device drivers, POSIX Threads, and kernel
programming for the latest Linux Kernel.
This book is about writing software that makes the most effective use
of the system you're running on -- code that interfaces directly with
the kernel and core system libraries, including the shell, text editor,
compiler, debugger, core utilities, and system daemons. The majority of
both Unix and Linux code is still written at the system level, and
Linux System Programming focuses on everything above the kernel, where
applications such as Apache, bash, cp, vim, Emacs, gcc, gdb, glibc, ls,
mv, and X exist. Written primarily for engineers looking to program
(better) at the low level, this book is an ideal teaching tool for any
programmer. Even with the trend toward high-level development, either
through web software (such as PHP) or managed code (C#), someone still
has to write the PHP interpreter and the C# virtual machine. Linux
System Programming gives you an understanding of core internals that
makes for better code, no matter where it appears in the stack.
Debugging high-level code often requires you to understand the system
calls and kernel behavior of your operating system, too. Key topics
include: An overview of Linux, the kernel, the C library, and the C
compiler Reading from and writing to files, along with other basic file
I/O operations, including how the Linux kernel implements and manages
file I/O Buffer size management, including the Standard I/O library
Advanced I/O interfaces, memory mappings, and optimization techniques
The family of system calls for basic process management Advanced
process management, including real-time processes File and
directories-creating, moving, copying, deleting, and managing them
Memory management -- interfaces for allocating memory, managingthe
memory you have, and optimizing your memory access Signals and their
role on a Unix system, plus basic and advanced signal interfaces Time,
sleeping, and clock management, starting with the basics and continuing
through POSIX clocks and high resolution timers With Linux System
Programming, you will be able to take an in-depth look at Linux from
both a theoretical and an applied perspective as you cover a wide range
of programming topics.
The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) offers a variety of compilers for different programming languages including C, C++, Java, Fortran, and Ada. The Definitive Guide to GCC, Second Edition has been revised to reflect the changes made in the most recent major GCC release, version 4. Providing in-depth information on GCC's enormous array of features and options, and introducing crucial tools such as autoconf, gprof, and libtool, this book functions as both a guide and reference.
This book goes well beyond a general introduction to GCC and covers key programming techniques such as profiling and optimization that, when used in conjunction with GCCs advanced features, can greatly improve application performance. This second edition will prove to be an invaluable resource, whether youre a student seeking familiarity with this crucial tool or an expert who uses GCC on a daily basis.
According to IDC, over 170,000 new servers were shipped in the first
quarter of 2003. That also means that there were potentially more than
170,000 people like you charged with administering these systems
without the proper knowledge or training to do so. Linux Shell Scripting with Bash
will help you learn to not only get your system up and running quickly
by employing the Bash shell, but it will also show you professional
scripting solutions through the use of structured programming and
standard Linux development tools. The book focuses on the Linux
environment, which the shell relies on to function, and the robust
Linux tool set, making this book ideal for learning shell scripting.
Real-world scripts are included that are readable, extendable and easy
to debug. This book is an asset to any Linux user.
In order to thoroughly understand what makes Linux tick and why it
works so well on a wide variety of systems, you need to delve deep into
the heart of the kernel. The kernel handles all interactions between
the CPU and the external world, and determines which programs will
share processor time, in what order. It manages limited memory so well
that hundreds of processes can share the system efficiently, and
expertly organizes data transfers so that the CPU isn't kept waiting
any longer than necessary for the relatively slow disks. The third edition of "Understanding the Linux Kernel" takes you on a guided tour of the most significant data structures, algorithms, and programming tricks used in the kernel. Probing beyond superficial features, the authors offer valuable insights to people who want to know how things really work inside their machine. Important Intel-specific features are discussed. Relevant segments of code are dissected line by line. But the book covers more than just the functioning of the code; it explains the theoretical underpinnings of why Linux does things the way it does.
The most difficult part of building a server with FreeBSD, the
Unix-like operating system, is arguably software installation and
configuration. Finding the software is easy enough; getting everything
up and running is another thing entirely. The only option for many
people has been to hire a consultant. Building a Server with FreeBSD 7 is for those of us who prefer to build our own server. If you're a small business owner looking for a reliable email server, a curious Windows administrator, or if you just want to put that old computer in the closet to work, you'll learn how to get things up and running quickly. Then, once you have a working system, you can experiment, extend, and customize as you please.
You'll learn how to install FreeBSD, then how to install popular server applications with the ports collection. Each package is treated as an independent module, so you can dip into the book at any point to install just the packages you need, when you need them. The book s modules cover topics like:
- Running common FreeBSD admin commands and tasks
- Managing the FreeBSD ports collection
- Installing third-party apps like Apache, Courier-IMAP, SpamAssassin, CUPS, Cyrus SASL, MediaWiki, and WordPress
- Setting up MySQL, NTP, ISC DHCP, ISC BIND DNS, PHP, OpenLDAP, OpenSSH, OpenSSL, and OpenVPN
Building a Server with FreeBSD 7 will have you up and running fast, with minimum hassle. (Just be sure to send the money you save to the Unemployed Consultant Foundation.)
Though rootkits have a fairly negative image, they can be used for both good and evil. Designing BSD Rootkits
arms you with the knowledge you need to write offensive rootkits, to
defend against malicious ones, and to explore the FreeBSD kernel and
operating system in the process. Organized as a tutorial, Designing BSD Rootkits will teach you the fundamentals of programming and developing rootkits under the FreeBSD operating system. Author Joseph Kong's goal is to make you smarter, not to teach you how to write exploits or launch attacks. You'll learn how to maintain root access long after gaining access to a computer and how to hack FreeBSD.
Kongs liberal use of examples assumes no prior kernel-hacking experience but doesn't water down the information. All code is thoroughly described and analyzed, and each chapter contains at least one real-world application.
Included:
Hack the FreeBSD kernel for yourself!
