The New School of Information Security

Addison Wesley, 2008

“It is about time that a book like The New School came along.

The Craft of System Security

Addison Wesley, 2007

"I believe The Craft of System Security is one of the best software security books on the market today. It has not only breadth, but depth, covering topics ranging from cryptography, networking, and operating systems--to the Web, computer-human interaction, and how...

Virtual Honeypots: From Botnet Tracking to Intrusion Detection

Addison Wesley, 2007

Honeypots have demonstrated immense value in Internet security, but physical honeypot deployment can be prohibitively complex, time-consuming, and expensive. Now, there’s a breakthrough solution. Virtual honeypots share many attributes of traditional honeypots, but you can run thousands of them on a single system-making them easier and...

GPU Gems 3

Addison Wesley, 2007

It has been only three years since the first GPU Gems book was introduced, and some areas of real-time graphics have truly become ultrarealistic. Chapter 14, "Advanced Techniques for Realistic Real-Time Skin Rendering," illustrates this evolution beautifully, describing a skin...

Mac OS X Leopard Phrasebook (Developer's Library)

Addison Wesley, 2007

When then-Apple-CEO Gil Amelio announced in 1997 that the company had bought NeXT and that Steve Jobs, Apple's erstwhile founder and visionary, would be returning, many die-hard Macintosh fans were horrified. Apple was not in good shape at the time, and the purchase of NeXT almost certainly meant that the beloved but creaky old Mac OS would be...

Ajax Security

java(TM).rmi: The Remote Method Invocation Guide

Addison Wesley, 2001

Before the Java language was available, distributed systems engineering was greatly concerned with the problem of heterogeneity—the differences between CPUs, OSes, languages, and data formats. The challenge was to create architectureneutral formats and protocols which could be adapted to any architecture without burdening the programmer. RPC...

As both a Netscape engineer and later as the development...

Rubyisms in Rails, Digital Shortcut

Addison Wesley, 2007

This is not a programming guide. Yes, there is code, but this digital shortcut is not about coding. Rather, this is really a short about design, about philosophy, and about appreciating beauty. This short looks at the way in which the grace of Ruby informs the design of Rails.

This is a surprisingly...

The Art of Computer Programming. Vol 1: Fundamental Algorithms. 2nd Printing.

Addison Wesley, 1969

Fundamental Algorithms begins with mathematical preliminaries. The first section offers a good grounding in a variety of useful mathematical tools: proof techniques, combinatorics, and elementary number theory. Knuth then details the MIX processor, a virtual machine architecture that serves as the programming target for subsequent...
