free ebook and tutorial - AJAX and Connection Manager


















As far as web interface design techniques are concerned, AJAX is definitely the way to go. So what JavaScript library worth its salt these days wouldn't want to include a component dedicated to this extremely useful and versatile method of client/server communication?
The Connection Manager utility is by no means the smallest, most light-weight component included with the YUI, but it's certainly not the largest either, yet it packs so much functionality into just 12Kb (for the–min version).

free ebook and tutorial - Oracle Spatial Object Reader/Writer


















The Oracle Spatial Reader/Writer module provides the Feature Manipulation Engine (FME) with the ability to read and write geometric, raster and attribute data stored using Oracle Spatial. This module communicates directly with Oracle Spatial for maximum throughput. Both the relational and object-relational models of Oracle Spatial are supported by FME: the object-relational model is discussed here and the relational model is discussed in a separate chapter – Oracle Spatial Relational Reader/Writer on page 1679. The object-relational model is often referred to as simply the object model, to prevent confusion with the pure relational model.

free ebook and template - PHP Pdf Creation


















This class is designed to provide a non-module, non-commercial alternative to dynamically creating pdf documents from within PHP. Obviously this will not be quite as quick as the module alternatives, but it is surprisingly fast, this demonstration page is almost a worst case due to the large number of fonts which are displayed. There are a number of features which can be within a Pdf document that it is not at the moment possible to use with this class, but I feel that it is useful enough to be released. This document describes the possible useful calls to the class, the readme.php file (which will create this pdf) should be sufficient as an introduction. Note that this document was generated using the demo script 'readme.php' which came with this package.

free ebook and tutorial - Smarty, the compiling PHP template engine


















It is undoubtedly one of the most asked questions on the PHP mailing lists : how do I make my PHP scripts independent of the layout ? While PHP is billed as "HTML embedded scripting language", after writing a couple of projects that mixed PHP and HTML freely one comes up with the idea that separation of form and content is a Good Thing[TM]. Inaddition, in many companies the roles of layout designer and programmer are separate. Consequently, the search for a templating solution ensues.
In our company for example, the development of an application goes on as follows : After there quirements docs are done, the interface designer makes mockups of the interface and gives them to the programmer. The programmer implements business Logic in PHP and uses interface mockups to create skelet on templates. The project is then handed off to the HTML designer / webpage layout person who brings the templates up to their full glory. The project may go back and forth between programming /HTML a couple of times. Thus, its important to have good template support be cause programmers don’t want anything to do with HTML and don’t want HTML designers mucking around with PHP code. Designers need support for config files, dynamic blocks and other interface issues, but they don’t want to have to deal with intricacies of the PHP programming language

free ebook and tutorial-PHP Integration with object relational DBMS


















The definition and properties of an API between Amos II and PHP are the main topic soft his report. Amos II (Active Mediator Object System)is an extensible functional multidatabase system[1]. Functional queries, expressed in AmosQL, can be executed by one database or over a federation of distributed databases. AmosQL is a query language similar to the OOparts of SQL-99. Further more Amos II can be set up as a stand alone main-memory object-relational DBMS.
Two kinds of interfaces are offered between Amos II and the programming languages C[5] or Java[6], the call in interface and the call out interface. To call Amos II from an application the call in interface can be used. Establishing connections, sending queries and dealing with result sets are tasks of this interface. Contrary the call out interface is able to call external functions from C or Java. Once known to Amos II, these external functions can be used in AmosQL queries. The call in and call out interfaces permit the development of wrappers. Wrappers are small program modules that can access external data, for example XML documents, relational databases, webforms, MIDI files and web browsers.

free ebook and tutorial - JavaScript Scripting Guide for QuickTime


JavaScript can interact with QuickTime invarious ways. You can use JavaScript in a browser to detect Whether QuickTime is installed, you can use JavaScript to create the tags used to embed QuickTime content in a webpage, and you can use JavaScript to query and control the QuickTime plug-indirectly. This document describes client-side scripting using JavaScript and QuickTime browser plug-ins. All QuickTime browser plug-ins expose the exact same interfaces to JavaScript, whether the plug-in Is an Active Xcontrol, a Cocoa plug-in, or a Netscape-styleplug-in, allowing the same script to operate identically for Internet Explorer, Safari, FireFox, Mozilla, and other browsers that support plug-in scripting. Browsers that support the W3CsDOM Level 3 specification can receive DOM events from QuickTime, allowing movie events to trigger JavaScript functions without having to set timers or poll QuickTime for status events

free ebook and tutorial - A Taxonomy of JavaScript Redirection Spam


Redirection spam presents a web page with false content to a crawler for indexing, but automatically redirects the browser to a different web page. Redirection is usually immediate (on page load) but may also be triggered by a timer or a harmless user event such as a mouse move. JavaScript redirection is the most notorious of redirection techniques and is hard to detect as many of the prevalent crawlers are script-agnostic. In this paper, we study common JavaScript redirection spam techniques on the web. Our findings indicate that obfuscation techniques are very prevalent among JavaScript redirection spam pages. These obfuscation techniques limit the effectiveness of static analysis and static feature based systems. Based on our findings, we recommend a robust counter measure using a light weight JavaScript parser and engine

If you've read other JavaScript books, you may have had to slog through pages and pages about functions, methods, operands, and so on, before ever learning how to write even the simplest script. As you get into JavaScript, you'll need to understand those concept sand more, but you can start spiffing up your web pages just by diving into JavaScript. That ís what this chapter is about. By the time you've finished, you'll know two handy scripts, one to add descriptive comments to the status bar, and the other to use the time to serve custom pages. More importantly, you’ll understand why the scripts do what they do, and you’ll be ready to wade a little more deeply into JavaScript.
