Java has always been an excellent language for working with objects. But Java’s text manipulation mechanisms have always been limited, compared to languages like AWK and Perl. On the flip side, a new regular expressions package in Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE) brings hope to the Java text mechanisms. This package provides you everything necessary to use regular expressions—all packaged in a simplified object-oriented framework...

"Project Management" is the team approach to programming. There are many programs out there that purport to help a development team manage a project – but most of them aren’t very good. World-renowned software guru Joel Spolsky’s company, FogCreek Software, has created a tool called FogBUGZ that incorporates all of Joel’s insight into what works and what doesn’t work in project management.

This book looks at network security in a new and refreshing way. It guides readers step-by-step through the "stack" -- the seven layers of a network. Each chapter focuses on one layer of the stack along with the attacks, vulnerabilities, and exploits that can be found at that layer. The book even includes a chapter on the mythical eighth layer: The people layer.

I have been teaching extension classes through the University of California, Berkeley, since 1993. My students have ranged from expert to beginning Windows programmers.

With all books there is a “target” audience, and although the distinction between those suited and unsuited to this title is somewhat nebulous, I feel confident in advocating that readers wanting to learn more about DirectX and sensible user interface design, and who have a solid comprehension of Microsoft Visual C++, as well as a basic grasp of general COM principles, are likely to receive most of the benefits this title offers.
