Product Description

From the authors of the bestselling Hack Proofing Your Network!

OPEC, Amazon, Yahoo! and E-bay: If these large, well-established and security-conscious web sites have problems, how can anyone be safe? How can any programmer expect to develop web applications that are secure?

Hack Proofing Your Web Applications is the only book specifically written for application developers and webmasters who write programs that are used on web sites. It covers Java applications, XML, ColdFusion, and other database applications. Most hacking books focus on catching the hackers once they've entered the site; this one shows programmers how to design tight code that will deter hackers from the word go.

Comes with up-to-the-minute web based support and a CD-ROM containing source codes and sample testing programs
Unique approach: Unlike most hacking books this one is written for the application developer to help them build less vulnerable programs

Hack Proofing Your Web Applications Review

I'm working on a presentation on Web Application Security, and I
picked up this text as a reference. What a mistake! The text is
vague, poorly formatted and rife with errors.Just one example:
p. 131 shows a sample CGI script for submitting comments to
FreeBSD.org. First of all, the screenshot references a page that
doesn't exist, tarnishing FreeBSD for no good reason. Secondly, the
Perl CGI script doesn't set PATH, doesn't use taint, and doesn't check
exit values. Third, the form uses a hidden field for the submit
address -- making it a juicy spam tool since the user could simply
replace "mcross@freebsd.org" with any address she chooses. And I
could go on and on with just that one script.Other
gripes:
p. 465, "SSL makes the man-in-the-middle attack fail".
Wrong. ...How about this: The authors refer to Perl as the
"Practical Extraction and Reporting Language." (p. 151, p. 223) Are
they trying to impress newbies? SSL & PKI: only 20 pages of 565
are devoted to SSL & PKI, and those are mostly screen shots of Windows
MMC. I'm not picking nits here, just citing examples that
particularly irk me while flipping through it. The author seems to
have little to say about Securing Web Applications, so he rambles on
with useless background and repeats himself often. This might be
useful had it been edited down to 100 pages.I recommend Garfinkel
and Spafford's 'Web Security, Privacy & Commerce,' however Forristal
does minimally discuss ASP, which Garfinkel and Spafford neglect.
Also, Forristal has some interesting ideas for code review.

Improving School Attendance

Product Description

Although pupil disaffection has been a major concern to professionals, policy makers and researchers for quite some time, recent professional books in the area tend to focus on behaviour and exclusion from schools. Despite considerable government funding in both LEA's and schools- to promote new measures to improve school attendance, non-attendance at school is a relatively neglected topic as far as serious researched-based literature is concerned. This book will be the first in several years concerned with non-attendance.
Previously unpublished research material in the book will provide a multi-disciplinary evaluation of practice at LEA, whole school and individual levels.

Improving School Attendance Review

Very good reference on improving school attendance. Case studies and sample attendance policy included. Motivating students to go to school regularly and punctually is not enough; children's education is a collaboration of school, parents/carers, local community and government. The book emphasised on student monitoring through letters,phone calls or home visits.

Product Description

Information appliances and other interactive products "beyond the desktop" present user interface design challenges that are only beginning to be understood. In this one-of-a-kind book, interaction designers examine the issues they confronted in their projects: Microsoft Windows CE, a vehicle navigation system, interactive children's toys, and more. You'll enjoy reading their engaging and sometimes surprising stories, but more importantly you'll gain insights that will benefit your own design and development work.

* Begins with an interview in which design expert Don Norman details his vision of "making technology invisible."
* Includes an eight-page, full-color insert containing screen shots, product diagrams, and other illustrations.
* Presents inside accounts of information appliance success stories including:
* An interview with Rob Haitani, lead interaction designer of the original PalmPilot
* The design and evaluation methodologies behind Nokia's mobile phones
* The high-level information appliance design considerations emphasized by Sun Microsystems
* Essential reading for interaction designers, human factors engineers, usability specialists, software engineers and project managers working in all of these areas.

Information Appliances and Beyond: Interaction Design for Consumer Products (Interactive Technologies) Review

Well written and interesting to read, Information Appliances & Beyond is the lone book (at least that I've come across) that helps product designers create Information Appliances. The Interview with the creator of the Palm Pilot is excellent, as are the examples of the Nokia 7110 mobile phone, and the i-opener. Highly recommended to anyone with an interest in the future of consumer computing.

Product Description

"When Japan finally opened her doors to the outside world in the mid-19th century, there emerged one of the most skillful, exquisite, and remarkable art forms ever developed by any country: that of Japanese lacquer. Today, it is startling to discover that what we now consider as avante-garde in modern art - such as abstraction, impressionism, and collage - had already been perfected by Japanese lacquer artists over 300 years ago."

These words from the introduction to this unusual and splendidly illustrated book give the reader a fore-taste of the pleasures that await him or her in its pages. They are, in effect, an invitation to enter a fascinating world of color, design, and masterly craftsmanship: the hardly less than unique world of Japanese miniature lacquer art. No previous book in English has explored this world so thoroughly or presented such an abundance of valuable information about it.

The book is designed both for the novice in Japanese lacquer art and for the advanced collector who specializes in such delightful forms of that art as the inro and the netsuke. For readers who desire a general acquaintance with the subject, there are absorbing chapters on the history of Japanese lacquer, on miniature lacquer forms and on the subject matter of lacquer art. For the collector, there is not only highly technical information on lacquer manufacture and techniques but also a comprehensive chapter on netsuke. Three other features of the book make it an invaluable one for collectors: the biographical listing of more than 900 miniature- lacquer artists, the genealogies of the outstanding lacquer schools, and the reproductions of 59 signatures of representative artists.

This book is generously supplied with 256 illustrations, of which 76 are in color. All important miniature lacquer forms are represented. In addition, there is a well-selected and useful bibliography.

Inro and Other Miniature Forms of Japanese Lacquer Art Review

Excellent book, There are only few about inro (in English) and this one among the best three : by M.Jahss, J.Hutt and R.Bushell

Interactive Curves and Surfaces: A Multimedia Tutorial on CAGD (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Computer Graphics) Review

For those without a strong mathematical background, the software presented here can be useful in developing a good qualitative understanding of curves and surfaces. The interactive nature of the software lets you develop an intuition about such ideas as the parametric curve and surface, basis functions and Bezier curves.

Some readers will take to this much more easily than a conventional text. The coverage of the common ideas for constructing such items, in computer graphics can be very useful in dealing with more advanced graphics packages that assume this prior knowledge.
