Abstract

This book is a concise guide to getting started with Hadoop and getting the most out of your Hadoop clusters. My early experiences with Hadoop were wonderful and stressful. While Hadoop supplied the tools to scale applications, it lacked documentation on how to use the framework effectively. This book provides that information. It enables you to rapidly and pa- lessly get up to speed with Hadoop. This is the book I wish was available to me when I started using Hadoop. Who This Book Is For This book has three primary audiences: developers who are relatively new to Hadoop or MapReduce and must scale their applications using Hadoop; system administrators who must deploy and manage the Hadoop clusters; and application designers looking for a detailed understanding of what Hadoop will do for them. Hadoop experts will learn some new details and gain insights to add to their expertise. How This Book Is Structured This book provides step-by-step instructions and examples that will take you from just beg- ning to use Hadoop to running complex applications on large clusters of machines. Here's a brief rundown of the book's contents: Chapter 1, Getting Started with Hadoop Core: This chapter introduces Hadoop Core and MapReduce applications. It then walks you through getting the software, installing it on your computer, and running the basic examples.

Abstract

W elcome to Beginning XSLT 2.0, a comprehensive introduction to the Extensible Stylesheet Language: Transformations 2.0. This book introduces you to transforming XML with XSLT 2.0, helping you to create tailored presentations for all the information you have accessible as XML. I wrote this book, like Beginning XSLT, based on my own experience as an XSLT user, but also based on my familiarity, from training people in XSLT, with the practical and conceptual hurdles that newcomers often face. My aim is to provide a step-by-step, how-to manual for the kind of the real-world transformation problems that you will come across. Who This Book Is For This book is primarily for newcomers to XML and XSLT. It's particularly aimed towards web developers who have some knowledge of HTML, CSS, and a smattering of JavaScript; but none of these are essential, and the techniques you learn in this book can just as easily be applied to transforming between XML-based markup languages as to web pages. Seasoned users of XSLT 1.0 will learn about the new datatypes, expressions, and functions of XPath 2.0 and the new facilities in XSLT that make tasks such as text processing, grouping, and creating multiple documents much easier. Although much will look familiar, there are also some fundamental changes in the XPath data model and the XSLT processing model that may take you by surprise.

Abstract

C# 2005 changed the .NET 2.0 landscape. To name just a few improvements, C# now supports generics, partial types and nullable types when youre coding. And the framework boasts improved speed, data access, security, and scalability. This book has been written to help you assimilate all this new information and realize its potential to make your coding life easier. It will keep you ahead of the curve. To make it easy for you to access this information, the book has been loosely grouped into five sections: 1. Introducing C# 2005 and the .NET 2.0 Platform explains the mechanics of .NET programming and the philosophy that lies behind it 2. The C# Programming Language outlines everything you need to know to start using C# 2005 quickly and efficiently. Object lifetimes, exception handling, genericsits all here 3. Programming with .NET Assemblies deals with one of the most important aspects of .NET programming: reusing code. This book shows you how to capture your code in reuseable external assemblies that you can call upon throughout your applications 4. Programming with the .NET Libraries guides you through them. Of course youre not expected to write every function yourself. The .NET Framework provides a vast array of .NET Libraries containing functionality that allows you to do everything from opening a file-stream to rendering graphical data to the screen 5. Web Applications and XML Web Services concludes the book by taking you away from console-based C# applications and investigating the myriad possibilities that become available when you blend C# 2005 with ASP.NET 2.0 to launch your applications onto the Internet

Abstract

It's hard to believe now, but there was a time when writing jokes about multi-dispatch inheritance in dynamically typed languages simply wasn't the glamorous, highly paid profession that it is today. Before Slashdot, before User Friendly and the Joy of Tech, before Futurama, before Old Man Murray, before Dilbert, and before 1001 Surefire Gags about C++ That Will Wow Your Klingon Wedding Guests,  funny for geeks was a criminally underserved market sector. Biro-drawn cartoon strips were the typical fare, all called something like Just Byting Around! or Giga-giggles! These would run for a few months in Practical Computing or PC Handholder or some such ma- zine. After recycling gags revolving around hard drives and floppy disk entendres, these wretched specimens died for lack of inspiration and, I would hope, some vestigial sense of shame. And then there was, thank God, Verity Stob. I remember the first time I read the Stob column. It was 1988, and I was hiding in a fluorescent-lit dungeon in the heart of my university, strumming futilely through the lower-rent academic journals and controlled-circulation tech mags. The first few lines some throwaway comment about Lisp, I think had my snorts echoing across the library.

Abstract

Combining the best features of C, UNIX utilities, and regular expressions, Perl has grown as one of the most powerful and popular scripting languages. The valuable Perl is often used for system administration, text processing and Web programming. It is even being used for more exotic areas, like bioinformatics. Perl is supported by all of the most prominent operating systems, including Windows, Unix, OS/2, Amiga, and others. Pro Perl Debugging steps in to help resolve the dilemma of application testing and debugging one of the biggest time commitments in a programmers daily routine. What this book will do is rescue you from substandard application testing practices. The book commences with several chapters that overview the debuggers basic features, then covers common debugging scenarios. The concluding portion examines debugger customization, alternative debugging utilities, and debugging best practices.

Abstract

Rigor Without the Mortis Many people (especially agilists) associate a high-ceremony software development process with a dead project (i.e., rigor mortis), and this association is not entirely incorrect. Our approach aims to put back the rigor while le- ing out the mortis that is, we can do rigorous analysis and design without killing the project with an excessively high-ceremony approach. The goal of this book is to describe that process in full detail. Agility in theory is about moving ahead at speed, making lots of tiny course corrections as you go. The theory (and it's a good one) is that if you spend months or years producing dry specifications at the start of the project and then set them in concrete,  this doesn't necessarily (and in practice, doesn't) lead to a product that meets the c- tomer's requirements, delivered on time and with an acceptably low defect count. It's likely that the requirements will change over time, so we need to be prepared for that, and it's likely that a lot of the original requirements will turn out to be wrong or new requirements will be discovered after the requi- ments concrete  has set. Agile methods answer this problem in a number of different ways, but the overriding principle is to break things down into smaller chunks and not to go setting anything in concrete (least of all your requirements specs).

Abstract

In the 1990s, Microsoft did the impossible and released a programming tool that let everyone write programs to run on Windows. Author Peter Wright was so excited about that tool, Visual Basic, that he wrote a series of books on it and introduced nearly a quarter of a million people all over the world to programming. Now Microsoft has done it again with the release of the Express tools. With nearly every home now having a computer and most people having access to the Internet, being able to take control of the computer and write your own programs is more useful and exciting than ever. So Wright has decided to do it again. In this book, you'll find everything you need to program your computer by using Visual C# 2005 Express, one of the very latest programming tools from Microsoft. If you have never written computer programs before, Wright will show you how much fun and how easy it can be. Perhaps you are a programmer and just need to get up to speed on .NET for work this book is for you too. Wright took the same approach with this book that he did with the VB titles, and inside you'll find a fast-paced guide to the essentials to get you programming fast. You'll learn the C# language and the tools Visual C# 2005 Express provides. He covers everything from simple console programs to code that talks to the Internet, and even how to write your own database programs. Whatever your reasons for wanting to learn to program with C#, this book will get you where you want to be quickly, and hopefully with a smile on your face. So dive in and change the way you use computers forever.

Abstract

The initial release of the .NET platform (circa 2001) caused quite a stir within the Visual Basic programming community. One the one hand, many die-hard VB 6.0 developers were up in arms at the major differences between VB 6.0 and Visual Basic .NET. Individuals in this group were a bit stunned to see that VB .NET was not in fact VB 7.0  (i.e., the same syntax and programming constructs as VB 6.0 with some new features thrown in for good measure), but something altogether different. The truth of the matter is that VB .NET has little to do with VB 6.0, and might best be regarded as a new language in the BASIC family. This cold hard fact caused some individuals to recoil to such a degree that they coined terms such as VB .NOT  or Visual Fred  to express their displeasures. In fact, there are even web sites (http://vb.mvps.org/vfred/Trust.asp) and petitions dedicated to criticizing Microsoft's decision to abandon VB 6.0 in favor of this new creature termed VB .NET.
