Dear Reader,

I don't know if you've explored the Courses link on the O'Reilly website
navigation bar, but there's some interesting stuff in there. One gem that
I recently discovered is the "Dear Trish" column that runs monthly. Tricia
Mills Gray is the Senior Development Manager of the O'Reilly Learning
Center, where she publishes business content as it relates to technology.

In her latest column, Trish tackles this question from Simone: should I
consider online classes to help break into the IT field, or is a CS degree
necessary? Even though Tricia is a manager for the O'Reilly Learning
Center, her advice is balanced and useful. As you might guess, she's a big
fan of online certification programs -- but her reason why is compelling.

http://oreillylearning.com/deartrish/

Trish's column is well-written, informative, and provides food for thought
for those interested in adding skills to their IT resumes, or as in
Simone's case, breaking into the field. You might want to take a look at
what she has to say.

Until next week,

-Derrick

Email Protocols: Where Do We Go Now?
Having established that email has a complicated history, tends to drive
people crazy, has had entire books written about keeping it under control,
and is broken beyond all repair for some people, let's try to work out
what we can do -- practically speaking -- to make using it less of a
hassle. Giles Turnbull explores our state of email and provides a few
glimmers of where we may be headed.

Visualizing Database Information with Tableau
Although there are several tools available to help users efficiently and
easily create pivot tables or cross-tabulations, being able to visualize
the cross-tabulations in real time is much more useful. Ben Lorica and the
O'Reilly Research team recently tried a visual analysis and reporting tool
called Tableau. It worked well for them; might it work in your data
warehouse?

Eclipse RCP: A Platform for Building Platforms
Where do you start when building a Java desktop application? All Java
gives you by default is public static void main (String[]); it's up to you

commonly-needed widgets, a standardized component model, pervasive
extensibility, and more. Wayne Beaton has an introduction to get you up to

LINUX NEWS FROM O'REILLY NETWORK

The Latest from http://www.linuxdevcenter.com and http://ONLamp.com

Think you can improve Solaris? Do It.

=================================================================

Hello, readers. Your editor is in a hotel room in Birmingham, England
right now. The UK is lovely, but the same words mean different things;
fries are chips, chips are crisps, and if you want to find an elevator
look for a lift. The same goes for the Linux newsletter: it's about all
things free and open source software. Here's what the O'Reilly Network
said about all of that this past week.

Managing a database full of information can be a lot of work, especially
if trends and statistics are important. The O'Reilly Research department
faces that every day. Exploring the data effectively can save a lot of
time and energy. O'Reilly's Ben Lorica recently reviewed the Tableau
visual analysis and reporting tools; these allow you to generate pivot
tables and cross-tabulations from your database. Ben's opinion? Favorable!

http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/databases/2006/08/24/tableau_review.html

A nice, quiet, small BSD box makes a wonderful Internet device--especially
a low-power, low-noise box in the corner. Yet the FreeBSD handbook's
section on using IPFW for firewalling can be a little dense. This week,
Dennis Olvany has provided the framework for a working, usable firewall
for you to customize and explore:

http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2006/08/24/ipfw-for-firewalls.html

One of Apple's biggest draws is the iTunes software. One of the biggest
untapped benefits of Mac OS X is that it's scriptable. Should you have to
learn AppleScript to do useful things, however? Of course not! Matthew
Russell demonstrates how to unify and synchronize iTunes libraries across
machines and platforms by using Python:

http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2006/08/22/synchronize-itunes-libraries.html

In this week's "Distributing the Future" podcast, Tim O'Reilly talks to
Brian Behlendorf about lessons from Apache and CollabNet, and Danese
Cooper discusses open source at Microsoft with Bill Hilf:

http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/network/2006/08/21/distributing-the-future.html

In weblogs this week, Sam Griffith, Jr. ponders the best personality
traits of developers:

http://www.oreillynet.com/onjava/blog/2006/08/re_best_personality_traits_of.html

Brad Fuller revealed the name of the device for the OLPC project:

http://www.oreillynet.com/linux/blog/2006/08/post_1.html

Jason Cole introduced himself and his desire to talk about open source
in education:

http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2006/08/new_onlamp_poster_1.html

Curtis Poe asked people to stop using Perl 3 and its techniques:

http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2006/08/please_stop_using_perl_3.html

Your editor likewise republished Rich Bowen's opinion that ancient
software should just go away:

http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2006/08/please_let_your_zombie_softwar.html

... then ranted about designing a language to prevent average developers
from making mistakes:

http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2006/08/language_design_for_9to5_cogs.html

... and found an interesting post about MySQL moving unmaintained storage
engines into plug-ins:

http://www.oreillynet.com/databases/blog/2006/08/from_storage_engine_to_plugin.html

Andy Oram explored the efficacy of using mailing lists for documentation assistance:

http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2006/08/doityourself_documentation_res.html
http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2006/08/doityourself_documentation_res_1.html
http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2006/08/doityourself_documentation_res_2.html

Ann Barcomb summarized the Perl 6 activity for the past week:

http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2006/08/weekly_perl_6_mailing_list_sum.html

Andy Lester announced a Chicago Perl hackathon in November:

http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2006/08/announcing_the_chicago_perl_ha.html

Ming Chow praised a new release of Lego Mindstorms RCX firmware:

http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2006/08/lejos_30_release_candidate_ava.html

Jeremy Jones tried to return a faulty Dell battery:

http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2006/08/my_dell_battery_experience.html
http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2006/08/us_postal_service_and_dell_bat.html

Chris Josephes suggested a technique for scheduling Perl scripts outside
of cron:

http://www.oreillynet.com/sysadmin/blog/2006/08/scheduling_perl_scripts_outsid.html

Anton Chuvakin posted a security tip of the week on log rotation:

http://www.oreillynet.com/sysadmin/blog/2006/08/antons_security_tip_of_the_wee.html

Tom Adelstein lamented the Microsofting of Linux administrative tools:

http://www.oreillynet.com/sysadmin/blog/2006/08/fedora_directory_server_anothe.html

Pat Eyler reviewed RubyConf*MI, a regional Ruby conference:

http://www.oreillynet.com/ruby/blog/2006/08/rubyconfmi_in_review.html

That's all for this week. It's 2:25 a.m. in your editor's time zone, which
is precisely where he isn't. Tune in next Tuesday to see if he has shifted
west by eight hours successfully.

Probably not,

Dear Reader,

Welcome to another issue of XML.com.

This week Lindsey Simon describes XSLDataGrid, an approach to dynamic
display of tabular data using XSLT and Ajax. It's about time someone
started weaving class XML techniques, like XSLT, into Web 2.0 fabrics. I'm
excited to see XSLT and Ajax combined together, especially in a datagrid
widget. Having usable datagrid widgets makes web interfaces even more
useful, particularly when dealing with large, tabular data sources.

==================================================================

Greetings...

Your editor is probably a bit of an odd duck in the Java world for being
more of a desktop developer than a server-side programmer. Oh sure, I've
worked with most of the EE API and written more quick-and-dirty,
HTML-emitting raw servlets than I'd care to admit, but most of what I code
ends up in a desktop window. And it's interesting to note the difference
between the carefully managed environment of application servers to that
of the desktop application. Whether you're writing servlets or some other
kind of server-side code (JSPs, EJBs, Struts actions, Spring, and so on),
you can generally rely on a fairly well-defined application life-cycle,
and the handling of many environmental issues, from threading off separate
requests to inversion-of-control schemes to let the container make
decisions the web app need not be responsible for. But back on the
desktop, what do we have? It's not like AWT or Swing provides an
"Application" class to extend, or a framework to provide consistent
services needed by applications. Instead, you get started from "public
static void main (String[])" and then it's off to the races with whatever
you can pull together from the various Java SE APIs. If that seems
somewhat aimless or potentially anarchic, you might be in need of a
genuine application platform. And this week, we look at one well-known
and well-tested option.

Strip away the syntax-highlighting, incrementally compiling details from
the Eclipse IDE, and at its core, you'll find a platform, the Eclipse Rich
Client Platform to be precise, that could be reused for a wide variety of
applications. In the feature article "Eclipse RCP: A Platform for
Building Platforms," Wayne Beaton says "...although it is actually an
inappropriate use of the term, Eclipse RCP can be considered middleware
for building rich-client applications. It provides the infrastructure that
your application needs, which allows developers to focus on core
application functionality, not the plumbing. Don't reinvent the wheel: use
Eclipse RCP."

http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2006/08/23/eclipse-rich-client-platform.html

Clusters distribute work among their nodes, and the round-robin strategy
is a popular and simple way to allocate work to each node. No wonder it's
the default in WebLogic. But it's not always the right choice, as
Francesco Marchioni points out: "a round-robin scheme is simple and
predictable. However, this strategy does not react according to the
varying loads on the servers. For example, if one server in the cluster is
under heavy load, it still will continue to participate in the
round-robining scheme, like the other members in the cluster, so work may
pile up on this server." In the dev2dev article "Creating Custom
Load-Balancing Schemes Using MBeans," Francesco shows a strategy for
tracking and managing your resources, and using that to allocate tasks
more efficiently.

http://dev2dev.bea.com/pub/a/2006/07/custom-load-balancing.html

In this week's feature article from java.net, Brian Agnew takes a look at
"Java Object Querying Using JXPath:" "JXPath is a little-known component
of the Apache Commons library that simplifies querying of sets of Java
objects by using an XPath-based syntax. This article demonstrates how to
use JXPath to replace complex Java code with simple expression-based
queries, and how to make use of this in practical scenarios such as JSPs,
templates (such as Velocity), and monitoring/management applications."

Got a PC that takes a week and a day to boot up? Most likely it's filled
with programs that start at boot up--programs you don't need. Mitch
Tulloch shows you all the secrets of how to ferret out and remove these
time- and resource-wasters.

Microsoft Offers the Peace Pipe to Firefox
Microsoft has invited Firefox developers to attend the Windows Vista
Readiness ISV Lab in December, to help make sure that Firefox and the
Thunderbird email clients work properly under Vista. Read why I think this
is good news not only for Firefox users, but for Microsoft as well.
http://www.oreillynet.com/windows/blog/2006/08/microsoft_offers_the_peace_pip.html

Putting Lawyers to Good Use
Lawyers are easy targets for humor, and Mitch Tulloch recently poked fun
at the legal camp of both Google and Microsoft. But it looks like
Microsoft is putting its lawyers to good use targeting cyber-squatters
and typo-squatters.

Change in Detecting Next Version of Internet Explorer Mobile
According to the IEMobile Team blog, the next version of Internet Explorer
Mobile for Windows Mobile will have a different user-agent string. Todd
Ogasawara has details.

Dear Reader,

I was just reading the new Craft blog (from the makers of Make Magazine)
and was amazed by all of the projects there that I would have never
conceived of. For example, in one post, I'm looking at pictures of wedding
dresses made out of toilet paper, glue, and tape. You'd think these would
be ghastly creations, but they are actually quite elegant. Although I
think these would be strictly for summer weddings.

Another post features mixed media collage artist Michelle Caplan and her
art. These are visually compelling works that bring together different
types of media to create powerful imagery. And then there are bags made
from recycled skateboards. Who would have ever thought to do this?

Site editor Natalie Zee and her crew over at the Craft blog (soon to be
followed by Craft Magazine) have their fingers in just about everything
that can be glued or taped together. If you have such interests, or know
someone who does, then take a look for yourself. I think you too will
be amazed.

Until next week,

Unify and Synchronize Your iTunes Libraries
Last June, David Miller published an article that explained how to
synchronize playlists on iTunes. Today, Matthew Russell extends this idea
by investigating and presenting three different ways to synchronize the
actual contents of your iTunes music libraries when they are scattered
across multiple machines. Then in the second half of the article, Matthew
lays the foundation for a custom Python script that you can extend across
multiple platforms and in various other ways.

George Jardine Discusses the Adobe Lightroom Adventure
George Jardine, pro shooter and Adobe Lightroom Evangelist, was part of
the Lightroom Adventure team that traveled to Iceland during the summer of
2006. In this interview by fellow Adventurer Derrick Story, George talks
about working with other world class photographers on location and the
development of Adobe Lightroom... and how the two forces came together in
Iceland.

Understanding Newlines
Munging text is familiar to agile language programmers. It's very
straightforward, right? Text comes in, text changes, and text goes out.
Yet in a multi-OS world with networks, internationalization, and character
sets, is text really that simple? Xavier Noria delves into how computers
handle text to explain the newline problem and how to work with it in
agile languages.

Callisto, a bundle of optional plugins for Eclipse, now comes with a

=================================================================

Greetings, from the piping-hot, late-August Linux newsletter. This weekly
mailing follows a similar pattern, trying to find some weather-related wit
and segue into an explanation of blah blah software blah blah technology
that many of you probably skip over anyway, even if it contains surprising
words such as the Latin recidere. That's OK. Here's the relevant news
from O'Reilly Network this week.

One of the fundamental units of the Unix philosophy is the file, and what
could be simpler? Except: consider different character encodings,
different platform conventions, and suddenly making a simple text file
look like a collection of arbitrary-length lines is anything but simple.
If portability matters to you, you need to know more about how files work.
Xavier Noria walks through foundational information in "Understanding
Newlines" to demonstrate the details of how computers actually store
character information:

<http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2006/08/17/understanding-newlines.html>

Recommendation services are impressively useful (when they work) and
intriguingly difficult to automate effectively. It's no secret that
applying them to artistic matters can bring you plenty of new suggestions
you might really enjoy. Digital media writer Brad Fuller spent some time
with the Pandora web radio team to understand how their music
recommendation service works:

<http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/2006/08/17/inside-pandora-web-radio.html>

In this week's Distributing the Future podcast, editor Chuck Toporek
discusses Google Code with Brian Fitzpatrick and editor Andy Oram talks
about Linux Certification testing with James Stanger:

<http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/network/2006/08/14/distributing-the-future.html>

In weblogs this week, Andy Oram covered LinuxWorld Expo 2006 in an introduction:

<http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2006/08/linuxworld_2006_opens_as_compa.html>

... and a wrap-up of interesting companies and services:

<http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2006/08/linuxworld_expo_2006_wrapup_fr.html>

Justin Troutman introduced himself to talk about cryptography:

<http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2006/08/cryptographer_from_carolina_st.html>

Curtis Poe suggested that the cost of fixing bugs included good will and morale:

<http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2006/08/why_expensive_bugs_are_cheap_t.html>

... then reviewed the Jifty web framework by completing its tutorial:

<http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2006/08/hey_thats_pretty_jifty_er_nift.html>

Jeremy Jones pondered Guido van Rossum's Pythonic blessing of the Django
web framework:

<http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2006/08/guido_blesses_django_django_an.html>

... and praised the new Linux desktop playthings of Xgl and compiz:

<http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2006/08/xgl_and_compiz_are_almost_usab.html>

Your author noted the new Perl development release--5.9.4:

<http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2006/08/perl_594_released.html>

Sam Griffith posted some opinions about Mac OS X Leopard using ZFS:

<http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2006/08/proof_that_os_x_leopard_will_u.html>

Dejan Bosanac found useful thoughts on the open source Java roadmap from
actual implementors of actual open source Java implementations:

<http://www.oreillynet.com/onjava/blog/2006/08/java_opensource_roadmap.html>

Caitlyn Martin reported on a suspicious security alert from the Iranian
president's weblog:

<http://www.oreillynet.com/linux/blog/2006/08/ahmadenijad_blog_contains_a_li.html>

Juliet Kemp unentangled SSH/X11 forwarding and shared her findings:

<http://www.oreillynet.com/linux/blog/2006/08/problems_forwarding_x_over_ssh.html>

M. David Peterson passed on the IronPython RC2 release announcement:

<http://www.oreillynet.com/windows/blog/2006/08/msironpython_the_second_relase.html>

Tom Adelstein complained about the lack of available, diligent Linux
system administrators:

<http://www.oreillynet.com/sysadmin/blog/2006/08/lack_of_linux_system_admins_hu.html>

pat eyler praised the new Ruby profiling tools:

<http://www.oreillynet.com/ruby/blog/2006/08/profiling_ruby_code_with_rubyp.html>

... and interviewed the organizers of a regional Ruby conference. Start
your own!:

<http://www.oreillynet.com/ruby/blog/2006/08/interviewing_the_team_behind_r.html>

Gregory Brown shared his experiences with Google's Summer of Code program:

<http://www.oreillynet.com/ruby/blog/2006/08/a_summer_of_code.html>

That's all for this week. Tune in next week for a very special Linux

which one!
