    Abstract: As the culminating volume in the DCP3 series, volume 9 will provide an overview of DCP3 findings and methods, a summary of messages and substantive lessons to be taken from DCP3, and a further discussion of cross-cutting and synthesizing topics across the first eight volumes. The introductory chapters (1-3) in this volume take as their starting point the elements of the Essential Packages presented in the overview chapters of each volume. First, the chapter on intersectoral policy priorities for health includes fiscal and intersectoral policies and assembles a subset of the population policies and applies strict criteria for a low-income setting in order to propose a "highest-priority" essential package. Second, the chapter on packages of care and delivery platforms for universal health coverage (UHC) includes health sector interventions, primarily clinical and public health services, and uses the same approach to propose a highest priority package of interventions and policies that meet similar criteria, provides cost estimates, and describes a pathway to UHC

    Abstract: After a growth slowdown that lasted six years (including a contraction of 1.3 percent last year), the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region is finally expected to resume positive growth in 2017, with market analysts forecasting real GDP growth of 1.2 percent for 2017 and 2.3 percent for 2018. The recovery, particularly in South America, will be led by a strong rebound in Argentina, which is expected to grow by 2.8 percent in 2017 and 3.0 percent in 2018, and Brazil, which is expected to resume positive growth as well, expanding by 0.7 percent in 2017 and 2.3 in 2018, after contracting for two consecutive years. The usual external drivers of growth (particularly commodity prices, and growth in China and U.S.) are expected to remain relatively neutral, which points to the need for the region to reinforce its own sources of growth (e.g., structural reforms, investment in infrastructure, and further international trade both within and outside the region). Unfortunately, the region finds itself in a weak fiscal situation with 28 out of 32 countries with an overall fiscal deficit, which implies that a gradual but sustained fiscal consolidation will be needed in the years ahead.The report's main focus (Chapter 2) is on the monetary policy dilemma faced by countries in LAC. When a typical commodity-exporter country in LAC is hit by, say, a negative terms of trade shock, real GDP falls, the currency depreciates, and inflation increases. The Central Bank faces the dilemma of (i) increasing policy rates to defend the currency/fight inflation, but at the cost of aggravating the recession or (ii) reducing the policy rate, thus stimulating output, but encouraging further depreciation and inflation. Traditionally, LAC countries have chosen the first option and have thus pursued procyclical monetary policy (i.e., increasing policy rates in bad times). Recently, however, many countries have been able to switch and become countercyclical (i.e., reducing policy rates in bad times), which enables them to prop up the economy in recessionary times (which is particularly important when lack of fiscal space precludes countercyclical fiscal policy)

    Abstract: China is aging at an unprecedented rate. Improvements in life expectancy and the consequences of the decades-old family planning policy have led to a rapid increase in the elderly population. According to the United Nations World Population Prospects, the proportion of older people age 65 and over will increase by about one-fourth by 2030, and the elderly will account for about one quarter of the total population by 2050. Population aging will not only pose challenges for elder care but also have an impact on the economy and all aspects of society (World Bank, 2016a).The government is aware of the need to develop an efficient and sustainable approach to aged care. To this end, the General Office of the State Council issued the 12th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Aged Care Services in China and the Development Plan for a System of Social Services for the Aged (2011-2015). It is now in the process of formulating the 13th Five-Year National Plan on Aging, which will further elaborate and finalize the reform roadmap for 2016 to 2020. The Plan is expected to be finalized and launched by June 2016. The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) helped draft these plans and is now leading the development of policy measures for the provision of social services for the elderly. This volume has been prepared to support the translation of the broad ideas on aged care provision expressed in the 12th and 13th Five-Year Plans and other government plans into reality and to help the government tackle the challenges described above. It strives to identify a policy framework that fits the Chinese context and can be put in place gradually. Specifically, it aims to provide an up-to-date understanding of the evolving aged care landscape in China; review international experiences in long-term care provision, financing, and quality assurance and assess their relevance to China's current situation; discuss implications of current developments and trends for the future of aged care in China; and propose policy options based on available evidence and best practices

    Abstract: The growing economic fissures in the societies of Europe and Central Asia between generations, between insiders and outsiders in the labor market, between rural and urban communities, and between the super-rich and everyone else, are threatening the sustainability of the social contract. The institutions that helped achieving a remarkable degree of equity and prosperity over the course of several decades now face considerable difficulties in coping with the challenges presented by these emerging forms of inequality. Public surveys reveal rising concerns over inequality of opportunity, while electoral results show a marked shift to populist parties that offer radical solutions to voters dissatisfied with the status quo.There is no single solution to relieve these tensions, and attempts to address them will vary considerably across the region. However, this publication proposes three broad policy principles: (1) promote labor market flexibility while maintaining protection for all types of labor contracts; (2) seek universality in the provision of social assistance, social insurance, and basic quality services; and (3) expand the tax base by complementing progressive labor-income taxation with taxation of capital. These principles could guide the rethinking of the social contract and fulfil European citizens' aspirations for growth and equity

    Abstract: La strategie de la Banque mondiale pour l'avenir de l'Afrique reconnait l'importance centrale de l'industrialisation de l'Afrique subsaharienne et la creation d'emplois productifs pour les Africains, industrialisation et creation d'emplois qui sont de longue date la preoccupation des leaders et dirigeants politiques africains. Ce livre s'efforce de traiter ces questions. Si le recent redressement de la croissance de l'economie africaine est encourageant, pour que cette croissance soit durable, elle doit s'accompagner d'une transformation structurelle et creer des emplois productifs pour la population. Pour de nombreux pays africains, cette transformation implique le passage de nombreuses personnes actives des secteurs agricole et informel a productivite faible a des activites plus productives. L'industrie legere peut offrir une solution viable a l'Afrique subsaharienne, etant donne la competitivite potentielle de celle-ci qui repose sur la faiblesse de ses couts salariaux et sa richesse en ressources naturelles susceptibles de constituer les matieres premieres necessaires aux industries. Au moyen de cinq outils d'analyses et sources de donnees, ce livre etudie les obstacles contraignants dans chacun des cinq secteurs d'activite qu'il couvre : le vetement, les articles en cuir, les produits metalliques, les produits agroindustriels et les articles en bois. L'Ethiopie est utilisee comme exemple, le Vietnam comme pays de comparaison et la Chine comme reference, tandis que des apercus sont donnes sur la Tanzanie et la Zambie afin d'en tirer des enseignements pour l'ensemble de l'Afrique subsaharienne. Le texte recommande un programme de politiques ciblees dans le but d'exploiter l'avantage comparatif latent de l'Afrique dans certaines industries legeres, en particulier les articles en cuir, le vetement et les produits agricoles transformes

    Abstract: This World Bank Study provides a basic diagnostic of residential piped water coverage and affordability in Uganda and its relationship with poverty using a series of nationally representative household surveys for the period 2002-13. The study fi rst analyzes trends in piped water coverage using both administrative and survey data. Demand-side and supply-side factors reducing the take-up of piped water service by households in areas where the service is available are estimated. The study also documents the extent to which piped water coverage enables households to shift time use away from domestic tasks toward market work, and the benefi cial effect that this may have on poverty. The targeting performance to the poor of water subsidies is estimated and results obtained for Uganda are compared with estimates for other countries. Finally, the study analyzes issues related to affordability-including the impact of the tariff increase of 2012 on household consumption, poverty, and piped water affordability-as well as the cost for households to connect to the piped water network

    Abstract: "Back to School: Pathways for Reengagement of Out-of-School Youth in Education" focuses on a social and global problem--200 million adolescents and youth are out of school, live in adverse life circumstances, and face multiple disadvantages. It analyzes the available evidence for what works, how, and why for reengaging and retaining these young people in education. The study further explores for whom and in what contexts the identified interventions can be effective, considering variations in both individual and contextual characteristics of the targeted youth. The synthesized findings from this review are used to build a broad theory of change which can guide efforts of policy and programming for designing contextualized interventions for education reengagement

    Abstract: Despite global economic volatility, growth in developing East Asia and Pacific (EAP) was resilientduring 2018, and in the first quarter of 2019. The growth outlook for developing EAP is expected tosoften in 2019, as China's economic expansion continues to moderate. Downside risks remain,including expected moderated global demand, continued trade tensions, the risk of a faster-thanexpectedfinancial tightening in developed economies, the risk of weaker-than-expected growth inChina, and continued financial market volatility. Also, or in combination, these risks could weigh on the region's growth prospects in the short-to-medium term. To manage global and regionalheadwinds, developing EAP economies should reduce short-term vulnerabilities and enhance buffers,redouble their commitment to an open, rules-based international trade and investment framework,including through deeper regional economic integration, and deepen structural reforms. Theintensification of risks underscores the need to continue to enhance economic security by investingin human capital and strengthen social assistance

    Abstract: Robert B. Zoellick, President of the World Bank, discussed Kuwait's vision of employing trade to link their economy to wider opportunities, deeper development, and greater growth. He urged the Arab leaders to support a Vulnerability Fund to assist developing countries that cannot afford bailouts and deficits. It should address three critical needs: safety net programs; infrastructure investment; and small- and medium-sized enterprises. He stressed that job creation is a long-standing challenge for the region. He believes the Arab World can play a bigger role at the global level to advance development partnerships and South-South cooperation and to fight climate change

    Abstract: In the first half of 2009, Indonesia's economy has established a solid recovery from late last year. Quarterly growth has accelerated since the start of 2009, after stalling in the final quarter of 2008, although the year-on-year growth rate has continued to slow, recording 4.0 per cent in the year to Q2. This trend of a gradual recovery is projected to continue into 2011. Indonesia's recovery coincides with an improved external environment. Q2 gross domestic product (GDP) outcomes across its major export destinations were better than expected and most trading partner's exited recession by mid-year. International prices of many of Indonesia's exports have recovered much of their late 2008 falls. These developments have supported Indonesia's economy, with exports recovering faster than imports. Domestic consumption continued to contribute strongly to growth in the second quarter. In the first quarter, large amounts of spending by campaign teams for the parliamentary election lifted private consumption. Indonesia's financial markets have continued to strengthen through Q2, generally by more than markets elsewhere in the region. The rupiah has continued to appreciate against the weakening USD, although at a slowing rate, and stabilized around 10,000 per USD by early September. The stock market also performed strongly in Q2, rising over 20 per cent from late May to early September. By mid-June, yields on sovereign rupiah bonds had returned to early 2008 levels, while the spread on Indonesian government USD bonds had the global emerging market average. From late June to September, local currency bond yields have remained broadly stable, while spreads on USD bonds have fallen another percentage point. These improved market conditions have allowed the government to continue financing its budget through the bond market, accessing funds for longer terms and at lower yields

    Series Statement: Speeches of World Bank Presidents
    Abstract: Robert B. Zoellick, President of the World Bank, recalled a moment in John Maynard Keynes life when he called for deeds that restore the public trust that governments are up to the challenge of the current crisis. What started in 2007 as a financial crisis quickly spiraled into an economic crisis, with estimates for 2009 for the first contraction of the global economy since World War II and the largest decline of trade in 80 years. Developing countries are being battered in successive waves as private capital flows slump sharply. These events could next become a social and human crisis, with political implications. Zoellick reviewed the difficulties for each region of the world. Unlike the 1930s, however, central banks have stepped in with creative solutions to keep credit flowing. But the challenge ahead requires a spirit of innovation backed by action. The World Bank Group's Board is considering a new proposal: the launch of a USD 50 billion Global Trade Liquidity Program. Zoellick called for the member of the G-20 to make multilateralism work and to empower the WTO, the IMF, and the World Bank Group to monitor national policies. Bringing sunlight to national decision-making would contribute to transparency, accountability, and consistency across national policies. It is time to institutionalize "early warning" systems to protect the poor from cuts in social programs during times of economic crisis. Modern multilateralism will require that rising economic powers have a larger say in how institutions such as the World Bank and the IMF are run

    Abstract: Robert B. Zoellick, President of the World Bank, addressed the following issues: seeds of crisis; the changing context; responsible globalization; the current role of the World Bank Group; the role of the World Bank Group in a new post-crisis World; and the reform agenda. He pointed to four aspects of Group's future role: development finance; delivering knowledge products; the global public goods agenda (such as climate change and communicable diseases); and unforeseen future crises. Reform efforts include: 1) improving development effectiveness with a focus on results, decentralization, gender, investment lending reform, and human resources; 2) promoting accountability and good governance, and 3) increasing cost efficiency. He noted the completion of recent enhancements to the voice and representation of developing and transition countries in the Bank Group. Bretton Woods is being overhauled before our eyes

    Abstract: Everything you must know to optimize your search ads, increase your profits, and help customers find exactly what they're searching for • The truth about the search tax • The truth about competitive and network click fraud • The truth about testing and expansion The Truth About Pay-Per-Click Search Advertising is a valuable resource for Internet marketers at both the tactical and strategic level regardless of company size. While PPC search engine advertising in Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, and other engines looks easy, competing successfully against competitors in a real-time auction for consumer's attention, clicks and dollars is no simple task. There are two kinds of PPC search marketers at the top of the paid placement results: brilliant marketers and irrational clueless amateurs. This book is designed to make sure that the reader becomes one of the brilliant marketers and learns how outmaneuver the competition. This book arms the reader with proven tactics and strategies that ensure success. This book provides concrete, easy-to-grasp concepts, strategies, and tactics designed for both the hands-on search marketer as well as the supervisor focused on strategy. However, a basic understanding of some key search marketing and Internet marketing fundamentals will be helpful, though not essential, to the reader. To empower readers of all levels, the book contains a basic glossary of often-used terms (CPC, CPM, MaxBid, SERP) to ensure accessibility to all readers. Conversely, even the most seasoned paid search marketing professional will learn a great deal from this book. To win in today's SEM PPC auctions and to continue to thrive, marketers need to figure out how to allocate budgets effectively and efficiently. The future of their business may depend on a good understanding of paid search and auction-based keyword-targeted media.

    Abstract: Voice over IP Security Security best practices derived from deep analysis of the latest VoIP network threats Patrick Park VoIP security issues are becoming increasingly serious because voice networks and services cannot be protected from recent intelligent attacks and fraud by traditional systems such as firewalls and NAT alone. After analyzing threats and recent patterns of attacks and fraud, consideration needs to be given to the redesign of secure VoIP architectures with advanced protocols and intelligent products, such as Session Border Controller (SBC). Another type of security issue is how to implement lawful interception within complicated service architectures according to government requirements. Voice over IP Security focuses on the analysis of current and future threats, the evaluation of security products, the methodologies of protection, and best practices for architecture design and service deployment. This book not only covers technology concepts and issues, but also provides detailed design solutions featuring current products and protocols so that you can deploy a secure VoIP service in the real world with confidence. Voice over IP Security gives you everything you need to understand the latest security threats and design solutions to protect your VoIP network from fraud and security incidents. Patrick Park has been working on product design, network architecture design, testing, and consulting for more than 10 years. Currently Patrick works for Cisco® as a VoIP test engineer focusing on security and interoperability testing of rich media collaboration gateways. Before Patrick joined Cisco, he worked for Covad Communications as a VoIP security engineer focusing on the design and deployment of secure network architectures and lawful interception (CALEA). Patrick graduated from the Pusan National University in South Korea, where he majored in computer engineering. Understand the current and emerging threats to VoIP networks Learn about the security profiles of VoIP protocols, including SIP, H.323, and MGCP Evaluate well-known cryptographic algorithms such as DES, 3DES, AES, RAS, digital signature (DSA), and hash function (MD5, SHA, HMAC) Analyze and simulate threats with negative testing tools Secure VoIP services with SIP and other supplementary protocols Eliminate security issues on the VoIP network border by deploying an SBC Configure enterprise devices, including firewalls, Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Cisco Unified...

    Abstract: Design Patterns bieten Lösungsmuster für häufig auftretende Entwurfsaufgaben in der Software-Entwicklung, aber sie gelten als schwer verständlich und als sehr theoretisch. Dieses Buch wird Sie davon überzeugen, dass Design Patterns für den Programmieralltag überaus nützlich sind und durchaus praxisnah und verständlich vermittelt werden können. PHP Design Patterns zeigt Ihnen, wie Sie Software mit Entwurfmustern so konzipieren, dass sie modernen Standards entspricht, zukunftssicher ist und sich problemlos erweitern lässt, wenn sich die Anforderungen ändern. Design Patterns für die Praxis: Stephan Schmidt erläutert zunächst einige allgemeine Regeln des guten Software-Designs, um dann alle klassischen Design Patterns detailliert vorzustellen und anhand von Praxisbeispielen Schritt für Schritt zu implementieren. Für die 2. Auflage seines Bestsellers hat er alle Neuerungen der PHP-Version 5.3 berücksichtigt und außerdem den Design-Patterns-Katalog noch einmal deutlich erweitert. Enterprise-Patterns - Fokus auf Webanwendungen: Da PHP häufig für Webanwendungen eingesetzt wird, liegt hier einer der Schwerpunkte dieses Buchs: Der Autor zeigt, wie Websites anhand des Schichtenmodells sinnvoll aufgebaut werden und in welcher Form hier Enterprise-Patterns zum Einsatz kommen. Behandelt werden in diesem Zusammenhang auch Propel und die Template-Engine patTemplate . Crashkurs zur Programmierung mit PHP 5.3: Falls Sie noch nicht mit allen objektorientierten Features von PHP 5 oder den Neuerungen der Version 5.3 vertraut sind, bietet Ihnen dieses Buch vorab einen Crashkurs, der Ihnen Sprachkonstrukte wie Interzeptoren, Exceptions und die Standard PHP Library sowie Namespaces und Closures erläutert.

    Abstract: Surveys show that people in corporations receive an average of 175 messages per day. Topping the list is e-mail, surpassing voice mail, faxes, and telephone messages as the most frequent type of message received. While e-mail is the biggest communication tool for business use, its remote nature-which eliminates tone of voice and body language-presents a huge potential for misunderstanding and misinterpretation. Many people find themselves dealing with dozens of e-mails every day whose impact has been lost in cyberspace and, as a result, frequently miss the mark. E-mail In An Instant helps readers to gain mastery over their electronic mail box and be more effective at getting their messages across with style and impact as well as managing and responding to the messages they receive. The book shows everyone from corporate executives to stay-at-home moms how to improve their e-mail efficiency by: * Accelerating your workday by knowing what to send and what not to * Assessing your e-mail writing style * Adopting time management for your mailbox * Learning to separate the trivial from the important * Learning how to say no, e-mail style * Writing business e-mails for other cultures Karen Leland is a partner in Sterling Consulting Group and co-author of the best-selling book Customer Service for Dummies and Watercooler Wisdom: How Smart People Prosper in the Face of Conflict, Pressure and Change.

    Abstract: As data centers grow in size and complexity, enterprises are adopting server virtualization technologies such as VMware, VMotion, NIC teaming, and server clustering to achieve increased efficiency of resources and to ensure business resilience. However, these technologies often involve significant expense and challenges to deal with complex multisite interconnections and to maintain the high availability of network resources and applications. Interconnecting Data Centers Using VPLS presents Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) based solutions that provide high-speed, low-latency network and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) isolation between data centers resulting in significant cost savings and a highly resilient virtualized network. The design guidance, configuration examples, and best practices presented in this book have been validated under the Cisco Validated Design (CVD) System Assurance program to facilitate faster, more reliable and more predictable deployments. The presented solutions include detailed information about issues that relate to large Layer 2 bridging domains and offer guidance for extending VLANs over Layer 3 networks using VPLS technology. Implementing this breakthrough Data Center Interconnect (DCI) strategy will evolve your network to support current server virtualization techniques and to provide a solid foundation for emerging approaches. The book takes you from the legacy deployment models for DCI, problems associated with extending Layer 2 networks, through VPN technologies, to various MST-, EEM-, and GRE-based deployment models and beyond. Although this book is intended to be read cover-to-cover, it is designed to be flexible and allow you to easily move between chapters to develop the solution most compatible with your requirements. Describes a variety of deployment models to effectively transport Layer 2 information, allowing your virtualization solution to operate effectively Explains benefits and trade-offs of various solutions for you to choose the solution most compatible with your network requirements to ensure business resilience Provides detailed design guidance and configuration examples that follow Cisco best practice recommendations tested within the CVD This book is part of the Networking Technology Series from Cisco Press®, which offers networking professionals valuable information for constructing efficient networks, understanding new technologies, and building successful careers.

Regardless of skill level, most people have something they dislike about Windows, and they often have a whole laundry list of Windows gripes. "Why can't Windows do this rather than that?"

    Abstract: Einführungen in MySQL gibt es viele. Wer aber größere MySQL-Server betreut, die verlässlich laufen müssen, egal was Programmierer oder Benutzer auf sie loslassen, der braucht weiter reichende Informationen. In High Performance MySQL beschreiben sechs anerkannte Experten mit langjähriger Erfahrung auf großen Systemen alle Stellschrauben, an denen MySQL-Admins drehen können, um Sicherheit, Performance, Datenintegrität und Robustheit zu erhöhen. Von Profis für Profis Hier geht es nicht um kleine Webauftritte mit Datenbankanbindung! Lernen Sie stattdessen fortgeschrittene Techniken kennen, mit denen Sie MySQLs Potenzial voll ausreizen können -- um große, skalierbare Systeme zu entwerfen, zu optimieren und zu sichern. Behandelt werden Benchmarking, Indizes, Storage-Engines, Replikationen, Lastverteilung und Hochverfügbarkeit, Backups, Sicherheit... und zu jedem Aspekt die richtigen Werkzeuge, mit denen sich Ihre Ziele am besten realisieren lassen. Praxiserprobt muss es sein Der eine ist MySQL-Guru bei Yahoo!, der andere Angestellter Nr. 25 bei MySQL AB und dort nacheinander für das MySQL-Manual, die Trainingskurse und die Entwicklung des Supports zuständig, wieder ein anderer war bei MySQL AB im High-Performance-Team - die Autoren dieses Buchs wissen, wovon sie sprechen. Graue Theorie finden Sie woanders, hier geht es um bewährte Techniken aus der Praxis. Ein Klassiker wird runderneuert Die erste Auflage von "High Performance MySQL" wurde hoch gelobt und hat schon unzähligen Lesern wertvolle Dienste geleistet. Nun war es an der Zeit, dieses anerkannte Handbuch einmal komplett zu aktualisieren, um nützliches Referenzmaterial zu erweitern, neue Features der Versionen MySQL 5.0 und 5.1 zu ergänzen und zahlreiche Themen wie die Optimierung der Storage-Engine InnoDB zu vertiefen. "Im Meer der MySQL-Literatur findet man so viel konzentriertes Know-how, das deutlich über Selbstverständlichkeiten hinausgeht, nicht allzu häufig." Linux-Magazin , November 2008, zur engl. Originalausgabe

    Abstract: Virtualisierung ist einer der wichtigsten aktuellen IT-Trends und Xen ist einer ihrer populärsten Vertreter - soviel gehört inzwischen schon zum Allgemeinwissen. Auch, dass Virtualisierung Kosten spart, die Flexibilität und Effizienz erhöht und Teil einer wirkungsvollen Sicherheitsstrategie sein kann. Hier erfahren Sie nun alles rund um den praktischen Einsatz der Open Source-Technologie Xen in der Version 3.3, von der Installation über die Konfiguration des Netzwerks bis zu zahlreichen fortgeschritteneren Themen wie Hochverfügbarkeit, Sicherheit oder der Entwicklung eigener Programme zur Systemverwaltung. Wie lassen sich virtuelle Maschinen überwachen? Wie führt man reibungslose Migrationen durch? Wie kann ich die Ressourcen kontrollieren und was mache ich bei kryptischen Fehlermeldungen? Krempeln Sie die Ärmel hoch, hier wird ernsthaft gearbeitet! Reiner, ungestreckter Stoff Mit Vorgeplänkel hält sich der Autor nicht lange auf. Kompakt erläutert er zentrale Konzepte und Begriffe, um sich dann den tatsächlichen und ganz konkreten Aufgaben und Fragen eines SysAdmins zu widmen und substanzielle Informationen und nützliche Hilfestellungen zu bieten. Zu jedem Problem gibt's eine Lösung In O'Reillys bewährter Kochbuch-Struktur greift Hans-Joachim Picht typische Fragestellungen rund um die Virtualisierung mit Xen auf und liefert gleich die passende Lösung. Eine ausführliche Diskussion des Lösungswegs vertieft das Verständnis des Gezeigten und verweist auf Alternativen, Fallstricke oder angrenzende Themen. Durch den modularen Aufbau des Buchs können Sie jederzeit gezielt die Rezepte herauszugreifen, die Sie gerade interessieren. Praxiserfahrung sticht Mit etwas angelesenem Wissen und viel grauer Theorie braucht man einem gestandenen Linux-Administratoren gar nicht erst zu kommen. Was zählt, sind erprobte Techniken, vielfach angewandtes Know-how aus der täglichen Praxis und gerade auch das Wissen um die Dinge, die nicht so einfach funktionieren, wie sie sollten. Hier bekommen Sie die gesammelte Erfahrung eines Profis aus erster Hand.

    Abstract: Spring and OSGi's features are a natural fit; they are orthogonal to each other. The Open Services Gateway initiative (OSGi) is about packaging, deployment, and versioning issues, while Spring is about providing the necessary foundation to wire up Java classes in their most basic form using dependency injection and aspect orientation to fulfill an application's purpose. Pro Spring Dynamic Modules for OSGi™ Service Platforms by Daniel Rubio is the first book to cover OSGi as practically implemented by the world's most popular, agile, and open-source enterprise Java framework, Spring. Covers the ease at which OSGi is used with the Spring Framework in development, packaging, versioning, and deployment. Enterprises are trusting Spring more and more, and this book leverages OSGi in a way that can "complete" the use of Spring in the enterprise, as OSGi is already being trusted and adopted by IBM, BEA, and others. The text discusses how Spring OSGi makes your Spring applications trusted SOA applications.

    Abstract: Today, if you own a Windows computer you need to understand the risks and the potential damage security threats pose. The mere act of turning on an Internet-connected computer can put you, your family, and even your personal finances at risk! This book defines all the threats an average household might face and provides strategies to turn novice and basic users into adept home security experts, making you safer and more secure from cyber criminals. We start off with plain English definitions for security mumbo jumbo, and then we dig in with step-by-step instructions to help you cut your exposure in less than 10 minutes! Finally, we provide steps for more involved security measures that you can do in a weekend. We also take an in-depth look at the security measures Microsoft put in Windows Vista. We also look at how Vista responds to the key threats. It teaches you how to tweak the system and make Microsoft's new security features-like the User Access Control-less annoying and helps you adjust the system to be usable. It shows you how to set up Vista to protect your system from your kids-the biggest security hazard to your computer. • More than 5 million spam emails flood the Internet daily-many with your name on them-we show you how to make yourself invisible to detestable spammers! • Did you know that hackers are snooping around your IP address right now, while you read this? They might already have breached what security you have and could be running amok with your personal data. Stop them dead in their tracks with a few simple steps! • Identity theft is the most popular form of consumer fraud today, and last year thieves stole more than $100 million from people just like you. Put a stop to the madness with the steps provided in this book! • Spyware-nasty little programs that you might not even know you have installed on your PC-could be causing your PC to crash. We show you how to root it out of your system and prevent further infection. Andy Walker is one of North America's top technology journalists and is the author of Que's Absolute Beginner's Guide to Security, Spam, Spyware & Viruses and Microsoft Windows Vista Help Desk. Since 1995, he has written about personal computer technology for dozens of newspapers, magazines, and websites.

    Abstract: The Definitive Refactoring Guide, Fully Revamped for Ruby With refactoring, programmers can transform even the most chaotic software into well-designed systems that are far easier to evolve and maintain. What's more, they can do it one step at a time, through a series of simple, proven steps. Now, there's an authoritative and extensively updated version of Martin Fowler's classic refactoring book that utilizes Ruby examples and idioms throughout-not code adapted from Java or any other environment. The authors introduce a detailed catalog of more than 70 proven Ruby refactorings, with specific guidance on when to apply each of them, step-by-step instructions for using them, and example code illustrating how they work. Many of the authors' refactorings use powerful Ruby-specific features, and all code samples are available for download. Leveraging Fowler's original concepts, the authors show how to perform refactoring in a controlled, efficient, incremental manner, so you methodically improve your code's structure without introducing new bugs. Whatever your role in writing or maintaining Ruby code, this book will be an indispensable resource. This book will help you • Understand the core principles of refactoring and the reasons for doing it • Recognize "bad smells" in your Ruby code • Rework bad designs into well-designed code, one step at a time • Build tests to make sure your refactorings work properly • Understand the challenges of refactoring and how they can be overcome • Compose methods to package code properly • Move features between objects to place responsibilities where they fit best • Organize data to make it easier to work with • Simplify conditional expressions and make more effective use of polymorphism • Create interfaces that are easier to understand and use • Generalize more effectively • Perform larger refactorings that transform entire software systems and may take months or years • Successfully refactor Ruby on Rails code

    Abstract: OpenGL ® Shading Language, Third Edition, extensively updated for OpenGL 3.1, is the experienced application programmer's guide to writing shaders. Part reference, part tutorial, this book thoroughly explains the shift from fixed-functionality graphics hardware to the new era of programmable graphics hardware and the additions to the OpenGL API that support this programmability. With OpenGL and shaders written in the OpenGL Shading Language, applications can perform better, achieving stunning graphics effects by using the capabilities of both the visual processing unit and the central processing unit. In this book, you will find a detailed introduction to the OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL) and the new OpenGL function calls that support it. The text begins by describing the syntax and semantics of this high-level programming language. Once this foundation has been established, the book explores the creation and manipulation of shaders using new OpenGL function calls. OpenGL ® Shading Language, Third Edition, includes updated descriptions for the language and all the GLSL entry points added though OpenGL 3.1, as well as updated chapters that discuss transformations, lighting, shadows, and surface characteristics. The third edition also features shaders that have been updated to OpenGL Shading Language Version 1.40 and their underlying algorithms, including Traditional OpenGL fixed functionality Stored textures and procedural textures Image-based lighting Lighting with spherical harmonics Ambient occlusion and shadow mapping Volume shadows using deferred lighting Ward's BRDF model The color plate section illustrates the power and sophistication of the OpenGL Shading Language. The API Function Reference at the end of the book is an excellent guide to the API entry points that support the OpenGL Shading Language.

    Abstract: The complete guide to today's hard-to-defend chained attacks: performing them and preventing them Nowadays, it's rare for malicious hackers to rely on just one exploit or tool; instead, they use "chained" exploits that integrate multiple forms of attack to achieve their goals. Chained exploits are far more complex and far more difficult to defend. Few security or hacking books cover them well and most don't cover them at all. Now there's a book that brings together start-to-finish information about today's most widespread chained exploits-both how to perform them and how to prevent them. Chained Exploits demonstrates this advanced hacking attack technique through detailed examples that reflect real-world attack strategies, use today's most common attack tools, and focus on actual high-value targets, including credit card and healthcare data. Relentlessly thorough and realistic, this book covers the full spectrum of attack avenues, from wireless networks to physical access and social engineering. Writing for security, network, and other IT professionals, the authors take you through each attack, one step at a time, and then introduce today's most effective countermeasures- both technical and human. Coverage includes: Constructing convincing new phishing attacks Discovering which sites other Web users are visiting Wreaking havoc on IT security via wireless networks Disrupting competitors' Web sites Performing-and preventing-corporate espionage Destroying secure files Gaining access to private healthcare records Attacking the viewers of social networking pages Creating entirely new exploits and more Andrew Whitaker, Director of Enterprise InfoSec and Networking for Training Camp, has been featured in The Wall Street Journal and BusinessWeek.

    Abstract: Enterprise and web applications require full-featured, "Google-quality" search capabilities, but such features are notoriously difficult to implement and maintain. Hibernate Search builds on the Lucene feature set and offers an easyto- implement interface that integrates seamlessly with Hibernate-the leading data persistence solution for Java applications. Hibernate Search in Action introduces both the principles of enterprise search and the implementation details a Java developer will need to use Hibernate Search effectively. This book blends the insights of the Hibernate Search lead developer with the practical techniques required to index and manipulate data, assemble and execute search queries, and create smart filters for better search results. Along the way, the reader masters performance-boosting concepts like using Hibernate Search in a clustered environment and integrating with the features already in your applications. This book assumes you're a competent Java developer with some experience using Hibernate and Lucene.

    Abstract: Ruby in Practice increases your productivity by showing you specific Ruby techniques you can use in your projects. The book offers detailed strategies for using Ruby in a large-scale environment. You'll see concrete examples of integration, messaging, web development, and databases, all presented in a clear Problem/Solution format. This book won't help you push your deadline back, but it will help you get the job done in less time. Above all, Ruby in Practice is a practical book for developers who want an in depth understanding of the Ruby language and its toolset. The book is divided into three major parts. The first part concentrates on issues that developers face both from within their organizations and from their peers. The authors weigh the costs and benefits of using Ruby in enterprise development projects, the over-riding theme being that every developer should always aim to use the right tool for any particular job. The authors then examine the pros and cons of developing with Ruby, and where appropriate, compare Ruby to other languages, both conceptually and in code. The second part discusses techniques for communication and integration of systems. The authors describe how libraries and techniques are used to facilitate messaging, web development and communication automation. They also focus on how the strategies in the first section can be used with these libraries to make development more flexible and efficient. The last part shows how to manage data and integrate with existing data using Ruby. The authors describe techniques for using existing Ruby libraries that either replace popular Java libraries or can interface with existing data in a different way. They go on to show you how strategies covered in the first section can be used to enable Ruby to interact with existing assets or to build new data systems.

    Abstract: There's a great deal of wisdom in a crowd, but how do you listen to a thousand people talking at once? Identifying the wants, needs, and knowledge of internet users can be like listening to a mob. In the Web 2.0 era, leveraging the collective power of user contributions, interactions, and feedback is the key to market dominance. A new category of powerful programming techniques lets you discover the patterns, inter-relationships, and individual profiles-the collective intelligence--locked in the data people leave behind as they surf websites, post blogs, and interact with other users. Collective Intelligence in Action is a hands-on guidebook for implementing collective intelligence concepts using Java. It is the first Java-based book to emphasize the underlying algorithms and technical implementation of vital data gathering and mining techniques like analyzing trends, discovering relationships, and making predictions. It provides a pragmatic approach to personalization by combining content-based analysis with collaborative approaches. This book is for Java developers implementing Collective Intelligence in real, high-use applications. Following a running example in which you harvest and use information from blogs, you learn to develop software that you can embed in your own applications. The code examples are immediately reusable and give the Java developer a working collective intelligence toolkit. Along the way, you work with, a number of APIs and open-source toolkits including text analysis and search using Lucene, web-crawling using Nutch, and applying machine learning algorithms using WEKA and the Java Data Mining (JDM) standard.

    Abstract: There are dozens of Java frameworks out there, but most of them require you to learn special coding techniques and new, often rigid, patterns of development. Wicket is different. As a component-based Web application framework, Wicket lets you build maintainable enterprise-grade web applications using the power of plain old Java objects (POJOs), HTML, Ajax, Spring, Hibernate and Maven. Wicket automatically manages state at the component level, which means no more awkward HTTPSession objects. Its elegant programming model enables you to write rich web applications quickly. Wicket in Action is an authoritative, comprehensive guide for Java developers building Wicket-based Web applications. This book starts with an introduction to Wicket's structure and components, and moves quickly into examples of Wicket at work. Written by two of the project's earliest and most authoritative experts, this book shows you both the "how-to" and the "why" of Wicket. As you move through the book, you'll learn to use and customize Wicket components, how to interact with other technologies like Spring and Hibernate, and how to build rich, Ajax-driven features into your applications.
