Flash 8: Projects for Learning Animation and Interactivity

2007-12-19T01:14:00.002-08:00

Flash 8: Projects for Learning Animation and Interactivity

Macromedia flash is fast becoming the Web's most widely used platform for creating rich media with animation and motion graphics, but mastering Flash isn't easy. Most entry-level books teach through simple examples that concentrate on either animation or scripting, but rarely both together. To get the most from Flash 8, you not only need to be proficient in programming/interface design, you need the creativity for story telling and the artistic insights to design fluid animation.

Flash 8: Projects for Learning Animation and Interactivity teaches Flash design rather than simply Flash itself. With a standalone series of walkthroughs and tutorials for Flash beginners coming from a graphics field, this book teaches Flash in the context of real-world projects. Rather than learn a Flash tool for the sake of it, you learn which areas of Flash are important, and which are less used, simply by seeing how typical content is actually created. And rather than a text-heavy approach, this graphically rich book leads you through hands-on examples by illustration.

to design and scripting. This helps you understand design intent-the why of the process-rather than just learning the interfaces and the how of it all. Along the way, you'll create Flash content that includes traditional animation techniques (as seen in full-length animated features), and ActionScript-based interactive animation, such as Each project in the book starts with goals and broad sketches before moving custom web site interface designs. You also learn how to combine both traditional animation techniques and ActionScript to create feature-rich Flash assets from the ground up.

Co-authored by educational developers with years of experience creating compelling content, interfaces, and applications, Flash 8: Projects for Learning Animation and Interactivity offers a content-driven approach that is also inspiration-driven. You learn because you're accomplishing something tangible, not because you think you need to know how a tool works.

If you want to understand how various features of Flash come together to create a final end design, this book provides you with both the insight and the know-how.

How to Cheat at Windows System Administration Using Command-Line Scripts

Lead Author: Pawan K. Bhardwaj
Language: English
File Type: PDF

Book Overview:
This book is designed to help you learn the power of Windows command shell. There was a time in the history of computers when there was no graphical user interface (GUI), and every small and big task was performed using the commands and batch files. With every new version of Windows, Microsoft is trying to ease administrators' job by adding more and more layers of GUI or configuration wizards (dialog boxes). Although these "wizards" are interactive and make the administrator's job easier, they are not always the most convenient and efficient way to accomplish the everyday administration tasks. This is where this book is helpful.

RSA Security's Official Guide to Cryptography

2007-12-19T01:11:00.001-08:00

RSA Security's Official Guide to Cryptography

By Steve Burnett and Stephen Paine; published by Osborne/McGraw-Hill's RSA Press, 877/RSA-4900 (phone); www.rsapress.com (Web); 419 pages plus a CD-ROM; $59.99.

In old nautical maps, cartographers would sometimes write "Beyond here there be dragons" at the edge of the known world. Those warnings were enough to scare off many a navigator. Of the few who disregarded them, some perished and others found great riches. In a sense, the same is true of this book, though it deals with the arcane world of cryptography, not cartography. The first five chapters represent the safe world, a concise yet understandable overview of cryptography. Beyond this beginning though, there be, if not monsters, certainly monstrous challenges. But readers who stick with the text will find some richly rewarding knowledge.

After studying the book's first portion, a careful reader will be able to explain symmetric ciphers, public-key cryptography, message digests, digital signatures, and key distribution problems in general terms. He or she will be on the way to more intelligent decisions regarding encryption purchases.

The authors don't shy away from discussing the criteria necessary to judge cryptographic products. They observe, importantly, that good cryptography requires public testing and feedback. Proprietary or "secret" algorithms should be shunned, they maintain, because they will be discovered and broken.

Chapters six through ten begin with a technical discussion of public-key infrastructure that concentrates on the formatting of public-key certificates and the different trust models used to implement them. What's missing from this discussion is criticism of PKI technology. PKI's security often depends on how well the certifying authority checks the identity of the party being granted the certificate. What happens if the authority is not rigorous in its investigation?

Remaining chapters cover network implementations, as well as application-layer software, such as SET for commercial transactions and S/MIME for secure e-mail. Most of the material goes beyond the job description of the typical security manager, but the information is valuable for those with a need for in-depth analysis. Unfortunately for the general practitioner, there are no checklists to help institute secure cryptographic applications. The concepts presented do not coalesce into a detailed action plan.

Surprisingly, given the number of technical terms used, the book lacks a glossary. An accompanying CD-ROM contains many technical articles on cryptography, which are fine resources for cryptographers but forbidding to security generalists.

Again, the security generalist may prefer to stay within the first few chapters--his or her own recognizable world. Braver readers and specialists will generally be rewarded if they venture on from there.

Publisher: AUERBACH
ISBN-10: 0849315484
ISBN-13: 978-0849315480

Entity-relationship (E-R) diagrams are time-tested models for database development well-known for their usefulness in mapping out clear database designs. Also commonly known is how difficult it is to master them. With this comprehensive guide, database designers and developers can quickly learn all the ins and outs of E-R diagramming to become expert database designers. Because E-R diagrams are so fundamental to database design, this book is also an indispensable text for teaching computer science students the basics of database development. Database Design Using Entity-Relationship Diagrams clarifies E-R diagramming by defining it in terms of requirements (end user requests) and specifications (designer feedback to those requests). The book explains how open communication between designers and end users is critical to developing usable, easy-to-understand E-R diagrams that model both requirements and specifications. The authors explain, in an intuitive, informal manner, how to develop an E-R diagram, how to map it to a database, and how the resulting database can be tested. This definitive guide is a basic component for any database course, and is also an invaluable reference that database professionals can use throughout their careers. introbul Features

Stealing the Network: How to Own the Box

2007-12-19T01:08:00.001-08:00

Stealing the Network: How to Own the Box

Stealing The Network: How to Own the Box, a compendium of tales written by well-known hackers, is a perfect summer read. The stories are fictional. The technology and techniques described are very real.

A warning: Those who believe in the theory of "security through obscurity" -- keeping information on hacking techniques under wraps so that fewer people might exploit them -- probably will be infuriated by this book.

Each chapter details not only the methods used to hack and counterattack, but also explains the thought processes hackers use to carry out assaults on computer systems and people.

The result is a fascinating look at the tedious and occasionally brilliant mental discipline of hacking. But it is a book that wanders close to what some might consider the ethical edge. Some security experts said that even though Stealing the Network is legal, it isn't right to provide detailed information on hacking to anyone who is willing to spend $50 on the book.

"We take a rather dim view of teaching folks about hacking," said Chris Wraight, a technology consultant at security firm Sophos. "To us, this serves no practical end; if anything, it greatly facilitates the real apprentice hackers out there in terms of speeding their learning curve."

"There are many ways to teach security professionals how to defend their systems without resorting to teaching them how to hack in the first place," Wraight said. "In addition, companies hiring an 'ex-hacker' to help them better defend their networks is analogous to the proverbial fox guarding the chicken coop. We feel these folks are not to be trusted."

Stealing the Network's editor Jon Babcock argued that the book will benefit more than harm.

"You need to know your enemy if you want to protect yourself from them, and getting to know that enemy from a variety of viewpoints is what this book is all about," Babcock said.

"I agree that there is a line that should not be crossed when it comes to publishing or otherwise releasing potentially damaging material to the general public," Babcock added. "I think we came close to that line more than a few times in this book, but we never actually crossed it."

Ken Pfeil, author of one of the social engineering chapters in Stealing the Network, explained why he opted to go into detail in his story.

"The scenarios we describe in this book can and will happen to someone, if they haven't already. My main objective was to get people thinking," Pfeil, chief security officer for corporate consulting firm Capital IQ, said.

"By understanding some of the mentalities and motives behind the deed, we can avoid a lot of these situations in the first place," Pfeil said. "When you obscure the truth about security to the point where you're no longer proactive, you're playing into the underground's hands. They love complacency."

Stealing's 10 chapters include an outstanding analysis of the ins and outs of computer-worm tracking and defense by security consultants Ryan Russell and Tim Mullen (aka Thor).

Independent security consultant Mark Burnett provides a detailed description on the art of what he calls social reverse-engineering -- using people's own moral ambiguities to encourage them to hack into their own networks.

Burnett uses an example of leaving a CD-ROM disk marked "Sales Data" at 15 booths at a technology expo, assuming that those who found the disk wouldn't be able to resist having a look. The disk actually contains a Trojan Horse program that gives a hacker access into the dupe's network.

Joe Grand's chapter documents ways to amuse yourself while you wait for a flight. It is a goose-bump-producing exposé of the state of airport network security. Happily, it's just "fiction." Grand is the founder of the Idea Studio, a development firm, and a former member of hacker think tank L0pht.

Other authors include FX of hacker group Phenoelit, Ido Dubrawsky of Cisco Systems, networking consultant Paul Craig and Dan Kiminsky, senior security consultant with networking firm Avaya.

At 328 pages, Stealing the Network is a summer blockbuster without the nonsense that packs the pages of most warm-weather reads. It's entertaining, but it won't leave your brain gagging on an overdose of fluff.

Computer Networking First Step

Computer Networking First Step

Paperback: 552 pages
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1587201011
ISBN-13: 978-1587201011
Product Dimensions: 8.9 x 7.1 x 1.3 inches

In my opinion, there are way too many non-computer analogies. Odom seems to be writing for readers who are either young children or have never used a computer.

One Example from page 146: "Tale of Two Trunking Protocols: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times... whoops, wrong tale! Once upon a time, no VLAN trunking existed. So, Cisco created..." This should have been written: "Brief Trunking Protocol History: In the mid 1980s there was no VLAN trunking. So, Cisco created..."

Another typical example from page 38: "Now imagine that you brought a new lamp. You plug it in, and the light bulb instantly 'pops,' indicating that the light bulb is broken. You put in a new bulb and it doesn't light up. You decide that the lamp must be broken, so you bring it back to the store and replace it with an identical lamp. When you get it home, the same things happens to this lamp. Finally, you call customer service and explain your problem. Now imagine this response: `Oh, you bought our special `We light up your life' model of lamp. It uses the same kind of power cord you are used to using, but it requires less electrical voltage, saving you money. If you read your instructions for the lamp, you will see that it directs you to get an electrician out to your house to rewire and change the voltage coming out of the sockets you want to use for the lamp. Also, note the disclaimer in the instructions: `If you plug this lamp into a normal wall socket, the extra voltage will fry the lamp, and it will no longer light up your life.' So, go get a new lamp at the store and get your wall socket changed!' If you're like me, you would return to the store to get your money back and buy a lamp made by some other company." Odom actually spent the two prior paragraphs, this one, and the following paragraph to make a simple point, which is simply `There are networking standards'. A full page & a half to say absolutely nothing more than `There are networking standards'.

Odem uses roads, the post office, flintstones characters, etc. analogies at the start of each subject, and co-mingled within the important material. This finally got to me on page 146. Unfortunately I still have another 300+ pages of these distractions left to the end of the book. I will skim the rest of this book because I really want & need a good basic understanding of networking. I just don't need Odom's attempted humor and entertainment. It is distracting and a waste of my limited time.

Odom could seriously cut out half or three fourths of this book and still cover the subject just as well. Or he could put these non-computer analogies it in sidebar boxes (so everyone over the age of 10 can skip it). He should rewrite the whole book. This is exactly the material I wanted to read about, but Odom has made it twice as hard to get at it.

The perspective of this review is: I am an intermediate to advance computer user with a little programming background, but almost no network experience or knowledge. If I was a complete newbie to computers, then I might have given a slightly higher rating. So my main point is that if the material is easy enough for a prior reviewer's (Rich Hill) 2nd grade son (probably age 7 or 8) to understand, then it is probably too easy to be time efficient for an adult with any computer background at all. Therefore the same material could have been covered with a lot fewer pages, in less time, and be more efficient for an intelligent adult.

To be fair, the drawings are well done & mostly helpful, and there is a lot of good material here, so I gave it 2 stars. I honestly believe anyone who has managed to graduate from highschool and ever used a computer is too advanced for this book. If you want to know about computer networking and value your time at all, then Don't Buy This Book. This book will waste your valuable time.
