Grid.Database.Design

Grid Database Design investigates the origin, background, and components of this new computing model। It presents new concepts and analyzes pre-existing ideas in the context of Grid, educating organizations as to how Grid can increase computing power and strengthen operations. Divided into three sections, the volume begins by laying the groundwork, defining the concepts that led to the model’s emergence. The second section explains what is entailed in building a Grid, focusing on security, hardware, and the forces driving growth. The final section explores details of databases in a Grid environment, illustrating how the Grid environment will shape database evolution.

PHPUnit.Pocket.Guide

Smart web developers will tell you that the sooner you detect your code mistakes, the quicker you can fix them, and the less the project will cost in the long run. Well, the most efficient way to detect your mistakes in PHP is with PHPUnit, an open source framework that automates unit testing by running a battery of tests as you go. The benefits of PHPUnit are significant:

a reduction in the effort required to frequently test code
fewer overall defects
added confidence in your code
improved relations with your open source teammates

The only problem with this popular testing tool was its lack of documentation-until now, that is. For this, O’Reilly went right to the source, as Sebastian Bergmann, the author of PHPUnit Pocket Guide, also happens to be PHPUnit’s creator. This little book brings together hard-to-remember information, syntax, and rules for working with PHPUnit. It also delivers the insight and sage advice that can only come from the technology’s creator. Coverage of testing under agile methodologies and Extreme Programming (XP) is also included.

The latest in O’Reilly’s series of handy Pocket Guides, this quick-reference book puts all the answers are right at your fingertips. It’s an invaluable companion for anyone interested in testing the PHP code they write for web applications.

Essential.PHP.Security

Being highly flexible in building dynamic, database-driven web applications makes the PHP programming language one of the most popular web development tools in use today. It also works beautifully with other open source tools, such as the MySQL database and the Apache web server. However, as more web sites are developed in PHP, they become targets for malicious attackers, and developers need to prepare for the attacks.
Security is an issue that demands attention, given the growing frequency of attacks on web sites. Essential PHP Security explains the most common types of attacks and how to write code that isn’t susceptible to them. By examining specific attacks and the techniques used to protect against them, you will have a deeper understanding and appreciation of the safeguards you are about to learn in this book.

In the much-needed (and highly-requested) Essential PHP Security, each chapter covers an aspect of a web application (such as form processing, database programming, session management, and authentication). Chapters describe potential attacks with examples and then explain techniques to help you prevent those attacks.

Topics covered include:

Preventing cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities
Protecting against SQL injection attacks
Complicating session hijacking attempts

You are in good hands with author Chris Shiflett, an internationally-recognized expert in the field of PHP security. Shiflett is also the founder and President of Brain Bulb, a PHP consultancy that offers a variety of services to clients around the world.

Pro.JavaScript.Techniques

Pro JavaScript Techniques is the ultimate JavaScript book for the modern web developer. It provides everything you need to know about modern JavaScript, and shows what JavaScript can do for your web sites. This book doesn’t waste any time looking at things you already know, like basic syntax and structures.

Expert web developer and author John Resig concentrates on fundamental, vital topics–what modern JavaScripting is (and isn’t), the current state of browser support, and pitfalls to be wary of. The book is organized into four sections:

Modern JavaScript development–using JavaScript the object-oriented way, creating reusable code, plus testing and debugging
DOM scripting–updating content and styles, plus events, and effect and event libraries
Ajax–how Ajax works, overcoming problems, and using libraries to speed up development of Ajax applications
The future of JavaScript–looking at cutting edge topics like JSON, HTML 5, and more
All concepts are backed up by real-world examples and case studies, and John provides numerous reusable functions and classes to save you time in your development. There are also up-to-date reference appendixes for the DOM, events, browser support (including IE7), and frameworks–so you can look up specific details quickly and easily.

Advanced.PHP.Programming

Over the past three years PHP has evolved from being a niche language used to add dynamic functionality to small sites to a powerful tool making strong inroads into large-scale, business-critical Web systems.

The rapid maturation of PHP has created a skeptical population of users from more traditional “enterprise” languages who question the readiness and ability of PHP to scale, as well as a large population of PHP developers without formal computer science backgrounds who have learned through the hands-on experimentation while developing small and midsize applications in PHP.

While there are many books on learning PHP and developing small applications with it, there is a serious lack of information on “scaling” PHP for large-scale, business-critical systems. Schlossnagle’s Advanced PHP Programming fills that void, demonstrating that PHP is ready for enterprise Web applications by showing the reader how to develop PHP-based applications for maximum performance, stability, and extensibility.
