The purpose of The Electrical Engineering Handbook, 3rd Edition is to provide a ready reference for the
practicing engineer in industry, government, and academia, as well as aid students of engineering. The third
edition has a new look and comprises six volumes including:
Circuits, Signals, and Speech and Image Processing...
Amazon Web Services is an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platform in the Cloud, which businesses can take advantage of as their needs demand. The Amazon Cloud provides the enterprise with the flexibility to choose whichever solution is required to solve specific problems, ultimately reducing costs by only paying for what you use.
Scriptin’ with JavaScript and Ajax is the third in a series of books
aimed at introducing designers and programmers to the process
of developing browser-based interfaces. The first, Stylin’ with CSS,

In my position at IBM, I regularly brief executives, managers, and computer
professionals on data mining and neural network technology. In my briefings,
I cover the fundamentals of data mining and neural networks, and I
also discuss specific applications relevant to the customers' businesses.
Since time is usually limited, my goal...
This book provides a foundation in digital design for students in computer
engineering, electrical engineering and computer science courses. It deals
with digital design as an activity in a larger systems design context. Instead
of focusing on gate-level design and aspects of digital design that have
diminishing relevance in a...
In the last decade there has been a growing interest in the research and software
industry communities toward techniques, methods and tools that allow one to manage
system performance concerns in the software developer domain. Poor performance
can often be the cause of software project failure, and the need to address
performance...
Mention the word audit to IT professionals and you will probably see their eyes glaze over as
they imagine frightening visions of auditors with pointy tails, pitchforks, and checklists run
ning around and pointing out all of the things they have done wrong to their manager. The
purpose of a security audit is not to place blame or pick...
It has been my experience as a .Net trainer and lead programmer that most people do not have trouble
picking up the syntax of the language. What perplexes and frustrates many people are the higher-level
concepts of object-oriented programming methodology and design. To compound the problem, most
introductory programming books and...
On March 10, 1876, Alexander Graham Bell made the first successful telephone call. As
with many things, the test was purely accidental. Graham spilled acid on his leg, and
Watson, his assistant, heard his call for help through the telephone. So, what has changed
over the last 129 years? It would be easier to discuss what hasn’t...
Communities have built collections of information in a collaborative manner for
centuries. Around 250 years ago, more than 140 people wrote l’Encyclopedie in 28
volumes with 70,000 articles. More recently, Wikipedia has demonstrated how
collaborative efforts can be a powerful method of building a massive data storage. It
is...
Numerous textbooks address software testing in a structured development environment.
By “structured” is meant a well-defined development cycle in which discretely
defined steps provide measurable outputs at each step. It is assumed that
software testing activities are based on clearly defined requirements and software...
Why should a Java developer learn about functional programming (FP)? After all, hasn’t
functional programming been safely hidden in academia for decades? Isn’t objectoriented
programming (OOP) all we really need? This book explains why functional
programming has become an important tool for the challenges of our time and how...
