Ruby by Example: Concepts and Code


Publisher: No Starch Press
Author: Kevin Baird
ISBN: 1593271484
Release Date: 08 June 2007

eBook Description

There may be no better way to learn how to program than by dissecting real, representative examples written in your language of choice. Ruby by Example analyzes a series of Ruby scripts, examining how the code works, explaining the concepts it illustrates, and showing how to modify it to suit your needs. Baird’s examples demonstrate key features of the language (such as inheritance, encapsulation, higher-order functions, and recursion), while simultaneously solving difficult problems (such as validating XML, creating a bilingual program, and creating command-line interfaces). Each chapter builds upon the previous, and each key concept is highlighted in the margin to make it easier for you to navigate the book.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Use the interactive Ruby shell (irb) to learn key features of the language
  • Extend Ruby using RubyGems, the Ruby package manager
  • Create numerical utilities, as well as utilities that process and analyze HTML/XML
  • Implement purely functional and metaprogramming techniques to save time and effort
  • Optimize, profile, and test your code to make sure that it not only does its job, but does it well
  • Create web applications using Rails

Ruby is the fastest growing programming language today, and for good reason: Its elegant syntax and readable code make for prolific and happy programmers. But it can be difficult to understand and implement without a little help. Ruby by Example shows you how to take advantage of Ruby as you explore Ruby’s fundamental concepts in action.

IP Quality of Service (Cisco Networking Fundamentals)


Publisher: Cisco Press
Author: Srinivas Vegesna
ISBN: 1578701163
Release Date: 23 January 2001

eBook Description

The complete resource for understanding and deploying IP quality of service for Cisco networks

Learn to deliver and deploy IP QoS and MPLS-based traffic engineering by understanding:

  • QoS fundamentals and the need for IP QoS
  • The Differentiated Services QoS architecture and its enabling QoS functionality
  • The Integrated Services QoS model and its enabling QoS functions
  • ATM, Frame Relay, and IEEE 802.1p/802.1Q QoS technologies and how they work with IP QoS
  • MPLS and MPLS VPN QoS and how they work with IP QoS
  • MPLS traffic engineering
  • Routing policies, general IP QoS functions, and other miscellaneous QoS information

Quality-of-service (QoS) technologies provide networks with greater reliability in delivering applications, as well as control over access, delay, loss, content quality, and bandwidth. IP QoS functions are crucial in today’s scalable IP networks. These networks are designed to deliver reliable and differentiated Internet services by enabling network operators to control network resources and use. Network planners, designers, and engineers need a thorough understanding of QoS concepts and features to enable their networks to run at maximum efficiency and to deliver the new generation of time-critical multimedia and voice applications.

IP Quality of Service serves as an essential resource and design guide for anyone planning to deploy QoS services in Cisco networks. Author Srinivas Vegesna provides complete coverage of Cisco IP QoS features and functions, including case studies and configuration examples. The emphasis is on real-world application-going beyond conceptual explanations to teach actual deployment.

IP Quality of Service is written for internetworking professionals who are responsible for designing and maintaining IP services for corporate intranets and for service provider network infrastructures. If you are a network engineer, architect, manager, planner, or operator who has a rudimentary knowledge of QoS technologies, this book will provide you with practical insights on what you need to consider when designing and implementing various degrees of QoS in the network. Because incorporating some measure of QoS is an integral part of any network design process, IP Quality of Service applies to all IP networks-corporate intranets, service provider networks, and the Internet.

New Trends in Software Methodologies, Tools and Techniques (Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Applications)


Publisher: IOS Press
Author: M. Mejri
ISBN: 1586035568
Release Date: 01 September 2005

eBook Description
Software is the essential enabler for the new economy and science. It creates new markets and new directions for a more reliable, flexible, and robust society. It empowers the exploration of our world in ever more depth. However, software often falls short behind our expectations. Current software methodologies, tools, and techniques remain expensive and not yet reliable for a highly changeable and evolutionary market. Many approaches have been proven only as case-by-case oriented methods. This book presents a number of new trends and theories in the direction in which we believe software science and engineering may develop to transform the role of software and science in tomorrow’s information society. This book is an attempt to capture the essence of a new state of art in software science and its supporting technology. The book also aims at identifying the challenges such a technology has to master. One example that is challenged is Lyee methodology as a new Japanese emerged software methodology that has been patented in several countries in Europe, Asia, and America. But it is still in its early stage of emerging as a new software style. This series will also contribute to elaborate on such new trends and related academic research studies and development.

The chapters begin with the basics of creating drawings, using commands, and specifying coordinates. Finkelstein builds on this these chapters to cover more complex 2D and 3D drawing techniques, including using layers, creating dimensions, 3D coordinates, solids, and rendering. Finally, the book discusses advanced topics such as customization of commands and toolbars, and programming AutoCAD using AutoLISP and VBA. A CD-ROM contains before and after drawings for each tutorial. All of these real-world drawings have been collected from AutoCAD professionals.
