Dear Reader,

O'Reilly Media has just launched a new site for serious photographers:
Inside Aperture.

http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/aperture/

This destination focuses on digital workflow using Aperture, Apple's
professional photo-management application. We currently have a half-dozen
top bloggers who specialize in different areas of photography. Each shares
his insights and discoveries via a steady stream of postings that you can
read on the home page or subscribe to via RSS. Other site features include
podcasts with Apple experts and pro shooters, articles, news, and tutorials.

Regardless if you're a heavy Aperture user or someone thinking about
updating your post-production workflow, this site has much for you. And if
you want to contribute, just use the email link at the top of the web page
to contact us.

Digital photography is rapidly evolving. Inside Aperture will help you
stay ahead of the curve.

Until next time,

-Derrick

Hash Crash Course
Most explanations of hashes use the metaphor of a dictionary. Most
real-world code uses hashes for far different purposes. Simon Cozens

searching, set operations, and dispatching.

Scaling Enterprise Java on 64-bit Multi-Core X86-Based Servers
Today's enterprise server--indeed, the environment--isn't what it was when
Java was born. Slow networked machines have been replaced by fast, 64-bit
multi-core servers that can house all your tiers in one box or even
virtualize servers within the server. This has a significant effect on the
design and deployment of your Java enterprise application, and Michael
Yuan and Dave Jaffe show you how to get the most out of your hardware.
