Java Network Programming

In the last 10 years, network programming has stopped being the province of a few specialists and become a core part of every developer’s toolbox. Today, more pro- grams are network aware than aren’t. Besides classic applications like email, web browsers, and Telnet clients, most major applications have some level of networking built in. For example: • Text editors like BBEdit save and o…

IT Architecture FOR Dummies

The enterprise begins when you carefully put the first two computers together, and complexity grows with every step thereafter. Haphazard IT building practices can easily lead to an enterprise network that is poorly planned or composed of random, one-off projects undertaken as standalone goals. An e-mail consolidation project can unexpectedly derail concurrent licensing projects intended to vas…

IPv6 Essentials

The IP version currently used in networks and the Internet is IP version 4 (IPv4). IPv4 was developed in the early ’70s to facilitate communication and information sharing between government researchers and academics in the United States. At the time, the system was closed with a limited number of access points, and consequently the devel‐ opers didn’t envision requirements such as securi…

The Berkeley Socket API (where API stands for Application Programming Interface) is a set of standard functions used for inter-process network communications. Other socket APIs also exist; however, the Berkeley socket is generally regarded as the standard. The Berkeley Socket API was originally introduced in 1983 when 4.2 BSD was released. The API has evolved with very few modifications into a …

A Brief History of Numbers

This book tells the story of the development of the idea of number since the days of the Pythagoreans and up until the turn of the twentieth century. The latter is more or less the time when currently prevailing conceptions about numbers reached their actual state, for all of their complexity (or perhaps we should rather say, for all of their simplicity). This is not the first book to tell a si…

AMERICAN POETRY AFTER MODERNISM

Albert Gelpi’s American Poetry after Modernism is a study of major poets of the postwar period from Robert Lowell and Adrienne Rich through the Language poets. He argues that what distinguishes American poetry from the British tradition is, paradoxically, the lack of a tradition; as a result, each poet has to ask fundamental questions about the role of the poet and the nature of the medium, h…

Reading Statistics and Research

In the first edition of this book, I claimed that humanity could be divided into three groups: (1) those who conduct their own research studies, (2) those who do not for- mally engage in the research process but nonetheless encounter the results of others’ investigations, and (3) those who are neither “makers” nor “consumers” of research claims. Now, nearly 40 years since I made that …

Hyper-V Security

One of the most difficult tribulations in the entire realm of computing is security. Computers are tools, and just like any tool, they are designed to be used. Unfortunately, not every usage is proper, and not every computer should be accessed by just anyone. A computer really has no way to classify proper usage against improper usage, or differentiate between a valid user and an unauthorized u…

Hardening Cisco Routers

When asking about Information Security (InfoSec), most people immediately think about stolen credit cards, defaced web sites, and teenage hackers with names like B@D@pple. An InfoSec professional might extend the list to items like firewalls, Vir- tual Private Networks (VPN)s, penetration testing, and risk analysis. What is almost never listed is router security—network security, yes, but nev…

Secondary Data Analysis: An Introduction for Psychologists

We have sometimes joked that there is no good reason to collect new data, given the wealth of existing data sets that can be used to answer important research questions. These existing resources are often longitudinal and usually have sample sizes that are larger than most samples typically found in psychological research. Unfortunately, our enthusiasm for the analysis of secondary data sets su…

Hacking Exposed Windows

If you are to believe the U.S. government, Microsoft Corporation controls a monopoly share of the computer operating system market and possibly many other related software markets as well (web browsers, office productivity software, and so on). And despite continued jeers from its adversaries in the media and the marketplace, Microsoft manages to hold on to this “monopoly” year after year, …

Symplectic Methods in Harmonic Analysis and in Mathematical Physics

Harmonic analysis is one of the most active and fastest growing parts of both pure and applied mathematics. It has gone far beyond its primary goal, which was to study the representation of functions or signals as superpositions of trigonometric functions (Fourier series). The interest in harmonic analysis has always been great because of the wealth of its applications, and it plays nowadays a …
