Free Download | Random Walks and Diffusions on Graphs and Databases: An Introduction

Most networks and databases that humans have to deal with contain large, albeit finite number of units. Their structure, for maintaining functional consistency of the components, is essentially not random and calls for a precise quantitative description of relations between nodes (or data units) and all network components. This book is an introduction, for both graduate students and newcomers to the field, to the theory of graphs and random walks on such graphs. 

The methods based on random walks and diffusions for exploring the structure of finite connected graphs and databases are reviewed (Markov chain analysis). 

This provides the necessary basis for consistently discussing a number of applications such diverse as electric resistance networks, estimation of land prices, urban planning, linguistic databases, music, and gene expression regulatory networks.

Free Download | Thinking in Java (4th Edition) | Bruce Eckel


Perfect for migrating to Java from a fellow object-oriented language (such as C++), the second edition of Thinking in Java continues the earlier version's thoughtful approach to learning Java inside and out, while also bringing it up to speed with some of the latest in Java 2 features. This massive tutorial covers many of the nooks and crannies of the language, which is of great value in the programming world. The most prominent feature of the book is its diligent and extremely thorough treatment of the Java language, with special attention to object design. (For instance, 10 pages of sample code show all of the available operators.) Some of the best thinking about objects is in this book, including when to use composition over inheritance.

Free Download | Enterprise JavaBeans | Richard Monson-Haefel


Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) is a major new technology for server-side application development in Java. It offers a component architecture for developing distributed, multitiered enterprise applications. This model allows you to build complex, mission-critical systems using simple snap-together pieces that model individual business objects and processes. EJB greatly simplifies the process of development by automatically taking care of system issues like object persistence and transaction management.


This book provides a thorough introduction to EJB for the enterprise software developer. It shows you how to develop enterprise Beans to model your business objects and processes. It also shows you how to develop client applications that use the Beans to perform useful work. One powerful advantage of the EJB architecture is that it allows you to partition work appropriately between different parts of the system: the database provides persistence, your Beans model various business entities and the interactions between them, and your client application provides a user interface, but incorporates minimal business logic. The end result is a highly flexible system built from components that can easily be reused, and that can be changed to suit your needs without upsetting other parts of the system. Enterprise JavaBeans teaches you how to take advantage of the flexibility and simplicity that this powerful new architecture provides.

I'm using my reading glasses to read the book, but it's not easy to read for long periods of time as I can with other books that have larger print. This book would be so much better if the font was one or two sizes larger. I can read the print but the size is too small which makes it fatiguing to read for long periods of time. I think a font that is too small also reduces the reading comprehension.

Free Download | Special Edition Using StarOffice

Best book for a real achievement in personal computing. This book is an in-depth reference to the StarOffice functionality. The book is huge, fine print; and still the book does not touch on the new database capability of Adabas. The StarBasic programming section is particularly instructive. The book's programming tutorial nicely complements the SO Online Help system and the SO SDK downloadable from the internet. For old hacks, like me, this material (and Linux) is the best of times for computing.

Special Edition Using StarOffice provides the information beginning to intermediate users need to created, edit, and publish effective documents using Linux's freeware office suite. Learn the ins and outs of the word processor, the spreadsheet, the presentation software. Also, see how to take advantage of Linux' native networkability for workgroup editing, Intranet document sharing and Web publishing.



I'm a technical writer who writes regular book reviews about computer and programming books. I can say without a doubt that this is one of the nicest, most user-friendly app guides that I've seen. It's a hefty book with lots of screen shots, and they cover a lot of material here, including a lot on installation for linux. They present a lot of materials in boxes and give "tips," and the great index makes me confident that I can find anything I want in seconds. Unlike most user guides for office apps, this book describes pretty thoroughly the limitations in star office (such as the fact that its database is not relational). I bought this book in late 1999, and undoubtedly other books have been published on star office, and more will be published as star office gains mindshare.

Free Download | Beginning J2EE 1.4: From Novice to Professional


The Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) is an extremely powerful platform for developing enterprise-level Java-based applications for primarily the server. In order to harness that power, you need to know how to properly use the API in the J2EE platform. In this book, Weaver, Mukhar, and Crume give you an overview of how the pieces of the J2EE platform work together and complement each other.

This book is aimed at programmers who have learned the basics of Java from, for example, Beginning Java 1.4: From Novice to Professional, and are now ready to learn how to use Java in the real world, with J2EE. But, J2EE is a big spec, and the target audience is not interested in Enterprise JavaBeans and other advanced specs within J2EE. In fact, 75% of J2EE applications are built using only JavaServer Pages and Servlets (two of the simpler technologies to learn in J2EE), so these are the areas that the audience is particularly interested in.


This book goes further than just showing you how to code a JSP or an EJB: This book explains when and where to use these APIs, their strengths and weaknesses, and best practices for using them.

Free Download | J2EE | Jérôme Molière

Sans être aussi critique que les autres commentaires laissés sur ce livre, je peux reconnaitre qu'ils ont voulus tout mettre dans un seul livre (la technologie J2EE est tellement vaste qu'il faudrait un livre par concept !). A la lecture, on a l'impression d'avoir un catalogue entre les mains néanmoins, quand on a déjà développé en J2EE, certains noms ne nous sont pas inconnus et on se rattache très facilement avec son expérience et les explications du livre.

Tout le long du livre, on suit par étape l'élaboration d'un site commercial complexe. L'exemple élaboré est très bien choisi car il aborde quasiment tout du J2EE et présente ainsi une architecture très fiable et très proche de ce qu'il se fait dans le monde professionnel. Les explications me paraissent assez claires même si parfois un petit tour sur la toile pour approfondir certains aspects ne sont pas de refus.

Free Download | Explorations in Quantum Computing


As miniaturization in our modern worl deepens, and nanotechnology and its machines becomemore prevalent in the real world, the need to consider using quantum mechanical concepts to perform various tasks in computation increases. Such talks include: the teleporting of information, breaking heretofore "unbreakalbe" codes, communicating with messages that betray eavesdropping, and the generation of random munbers. To date, there has been no book written which applies quantum physics to the basic operations of a computer. This one does, thus presenting us with the ideal vehicle for explaining the complexities of quantum mechanics to students, researchers and computer engineers, alike, as they prepare to design and create the computing and information delivery systems of the future.

Free Download | PHP in Action: Objects, Design, Agility


Most books, I've read are written by full-time authors, rather than contractors (i.e. practitioners) ... and it shows ... in the "hello world", foo-bar examples ... for lack of immagination. This author has, clearly, been developing websites - for years; it's so evident throughout. Moreover, the author is VERY well read and aware of the latest development theories, practices, principles and design patterns. He writes with the wisdom of someone who has lived through long wars of website development and, more importantly to the reader, has found most practical ways to weave current design theory into guidelines for getting things done with PHP.

Free Download | Python standard library | Fredrik Lundh


Python is a modular language that imports most useful operations from the standard library (basic support modules; operating system interfaces; network protocols; file formats; data conversions; threads and processes; and data storage). You can't really program in Python without using it. In this book, author Fredrik Lundh, creator of the Python Imaging Library (PIL), delivers tested, accurate documentation of all the modules in the Python Standard Library, along with over 300 annotated example scripts using the modules. "Python Standard Library" renders this valuable information in a clean, easy-to-read format, yet doesn't talk down to readers. This accurate and complete reference documentation is for the Python programmer who wants the facts and little else.

Free Download | Next-Generation Web Frameworks in Python | Liza Daly


This Short Cut is meant to be a complete and high-level overview of the three most prominent "next-generation" frameworks. I provide code samples throughout as concrete examples, not as application how-tos. Each of these frameworks comes with excellent tutorial-level documentation that walks novices through the process of creating a simple application, if that is what you need. I expect that readers are familiar with basic Python syntax, database design, and general web development practices. I hope that if there are any unfamiliar concepts, the ample links I provide will suffice.
