Subject: [Bielefeld-pm] letztes Treffen
Message-ID: <17981.1131203247@www86.gmx.net>

Hallo,

ich möchte mich nochmal für meine kurzfristige Absage entschuldigen. Ich war
am Samsatg vor unserem aus dem Urlaub zurückgekommen, und hatte mir einen am
letzen Abend ausgebrochenen Infekt mitgebracht. Damit lag ich am Wochenende
mit 39 Grad Fieber im Bett und am Montag war ich genug damit beschäftigt,
zum Arzt zu gehen und meine Krankschreibung zur Firma zu bringen, mir ist
unser Treffen erst am Dienstag Nachmittag eingefallen, weswegen ich dann
kurzerhand Jürgen angerufen hab.

Ich hatte eine Mittelohrentzündung und musste das erste Mal seit langem mal
wieder Antibiotika schlucken. Damit lag ich eine Woche flach, die letzte
Woche war Arbeit pur (klar nach 3 Urlaubs- und einer Krankheitswoche ist
viel zu tun).

Deshalb melde ich mich erst jetzt...


@Mario: Dein Buch ist da, wenn Du zum nächsten Treffen kommst, bringe ich es
mit, oder brauchst Du es eher?

Gruß Christian.

***The Real Problem with Textbooks: A SafariU Editorial 
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) reports that textbook prices
rose 186 percent from 1986 to 2004--twice the rate of inflation. This
populist revolt is getting lots of press, but the problem with textbooks
is deeper and more fundamental than high prices: expensive textbooks are
relics of the pre-internet world. O'Reilly CIO CJ Rayhill explicates and
highlights O'Reilly's web-based co-publishing tool:
SafariU.

***EuroOSCON--Doctorow on Europe's Coming Broadcast Flag 
In Cory Doctorow's closing keynote at O'Reilly's first-ever European
Open Source Convention, he stated, "Right now we find ourselves in the
midst of a global attack on free software. A global attack that is
supposed to uphold copyright, but that has no nexus with what copyright
actually does." At the heart of this attack, asserts Cory, is the DRM
and certain American entertainment companies' push for a Broadcast Flag
in Europe. Daniel Steinberg reports on Cory's
keynote.

***What Is Ruby on Rails?
Ruby on Rails is an impressive web development framework that will soon
reach version 1.0. While there's a lot of buzz, it can sometimes be
difficult to discern the steak beneath the sizzle. Curt Hibbs walks
through the features and pieces of Ruby on Rails to show how it fits
together and where its big benefits come from.

Mac

***An Introduction to Artificial Intelligence 
Have you ever thought about using an iSight to take and classify images,
such as those of a user sitting at the iMac? We have. And while we're
working on that tutorial, we thought it might be a good idea to first
publish a background piece on artificial
intelligence.
http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2005/10/21/artificial-intelligence.html


***TextEdit's Default Format: RTF...Why? 
Rich Text Format (.rtf) is the default choice for Mac OS X's TextEdit.
Have you ever wondered why? Giles Turnbull takes a look at the RTF spec
and discusses its strengths and shortcomings...and possibly uncovers
why Apple chose it as the default for text processing.

***Security Myths: The Perimeter Is Everything 
Is the perimeter the be-all and end-all of network defense? Mitch
Tulloch, author of Windows Server Hacks, takes a look at whether it's
time to kill the myth that perimeter defense is
everything.

***C#: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow: An Interview with Anders
Hejlsberg, Part 1 
Anders Hejlsberg, in charge of the ongoing development of the C#
programming language for Microsoft, talks about the past, present, and
future of C#. Among other topics, he covers the implementation of C#

query is
implemented.

Java
---------------------
***Moving Past Java: An Interview with Bruce Tate
WebServicesSummit.com recently interviewed Bruce Tate about the future
of Java and web development. Bruce discusses scalable enterprise

solutions for web development, while questioning whether Java is still a
technology for the masses. Bruce is the author of the newly released
"Beyond Java."

***Diagnostic Tests with Ant 
Determining what's gone wrong with your software--source or binary--in a
remote location is no simple task. Before taking a call and walking the
user through error-prone troubleshooting, why not collect information
about the user's system and the application files? Koen Vervloesem shows
how you can do this with Ant.

Digital Media

***Canon 5D: First Impressions
The first thing that's noticeable about the EOS 5D is that it is a
full-frame camera. I took a shot out of my hotel window with an EF 24-70
L zoom lens "So that's where my wide-angle has
been hiding all these years." James Duncan Davidson reports on the Canon
5D after his first assignment with it.

***Hacking Your Car: How to Get Clean Audio and Video Signals into 
  Your Car 
In the living room, red, white, and yellow RCA jacks are the universal
standard for input. Wouldn't it be nice if car manufacturers did the
same and put these jacks in your car? Damien Stolarz thinks so, and
shows you how to hack your ride to get a clean audio and video signal
into your car. Damien is the author of "Car PC Hacks."

MAKE

***iPod Boxes into Art
There are millions and millions of iPods out there, but what happens to
all the empty boxes? The packaging is pretty nice, and at this point, as
iconic as the iPod itself. So in Maker spirit, here is a photo diary of
HOW TO turn an empty iPod into a little robot-looking guy. Made with
just the packaging materials, hot glue, and paint, it could be a fun
project for
kids.

***Kid-Tested Haunted House Tricks
Eric Wilhelm's Halloween Haunted House Controller project in Make 03
explained how to build a multi-relay controller board that synchronizes
lights, sounds, and other effects with soundtracks playing through
Winamp on a laptop. This article describes some of the scare scenarios
that Eric has staged using this controller, plus some other kid-tested
tricks from haunted houses he's built.

ISBN 3-89721-416-4
446 Seiten, EUR 34.00

"Linux Praxishandbuch" macht den Leser mit den grundsätzlichen
Konzepten von Linux vertraut und vermittelt ihm gleichzeitig
konkretes Wissen, um Linux sowohl auf dem PC wie im Netzwerk
mit allen modernen Anforderungen wie DSL sowie in Zusammenarbeit
mit anderen Betriebssystemen betreiben zu können. Schritt für
Schritt wird der Leser in die Linux-Welt eingeführt.

3. Einführung in die bash-Shell
================================
Cameron Newham
Deutsche Übersetzung von Dinu C. Gherman
1. Auflage September 2005
ISBN 3-89721-424-5
368 Seiten, EUR 34.00

Die "Bourne Again Shell" der Free Software Foundation
ist die Shell für Linux und Mac OS X und auch für andere
Unix-Systeme frei verfügbar. Mit diesem Buch erfahren Sie,
wie Sie zum einen die umfangreichen Befehlszeilen-Features
der bash nutzen, z.B. die History, die Befehlsergänzung und
vieles mehr, und wie Sie zum  anderen Shell-Skripte
schreiben -- etwas, was jeder echte Unixer können sollte!

Das Lob für die englischen Vorgänger-Auflagen war immens.
Nun gibt es diesen Klassiker auch auf deutsch.
Die aktuelle Auflage behandelt bash 3.0, ist aber auch auf
die älteren Versionen anwendbar. Das Buch richtet sich an
bash-Anfänger, wird jedoch selbst erfahreneren Unixern noch
das ein oder andere Aha-Erlebnis bescheren.

Dieter Thalmayr

ISBN 3-89721-395-8
790 Seiten, inkl. SuSE 9.3 auf DVD, EUR 33.00

"Wo ist denn bloß mein Laufwerk C:?"
"Hilfe, gibt es hier einen Dateimanager?"
"Das sieht ja alles so anders aus!"

Wenn erfahrene Windows-Anwender auf Linux umsteigen, ist die
alte Souveränität schnell dahin. Allzu fremd sieht die neue
Umgebung aus, zu verschieden sind die Konzepte hinter dem
Dateisystem, der Benutzerverwaltung, dem Einbinden von Hardware
und vielem mehr. Dabei muss der Umstieg auf Linux heutzutage
keine Angst mehr einflößen. Dieter Thalmayr nimmt in
Umsatteln auf Linux den Umsteiger an die Hand und mit auf
eine sichere Tour durch eine neue, faszinierende Welt.
Er zeigt die Entsprechungen von Programmen und Arbeitsabläufen,
vermittelt Hintergrundwissen und warnt vor Missverständnissen
und Fallstricken.

Ken Bluttman

ISBN 3-89721-431-8
374 Seiten, EUR 32.00

Microsoft Access ist ein überaus leistungsfähiges Datenbankprodukt,
mit dem nur wenige andere Produkte mithalten können. Aber es ist
auch eine komplexe Applikation, zu der viele respekteinflößende
und langatmige Dokumentationen angeboten werden.

"Access Tipps & Techniken" geht vollkommen anders an das Thema heran:
Das Buch orientiert sich an den konkreten Aufgabenstellungen von
Access-Nutzern und vermittelt nützliche, seriöse und intelligente
Techniken, die sich Access-Anwender schnell aneignen können.
Ein klares Plus ist dabei die Präsentation der 100 Lösungen, Tipps
und Tricks in mundgerechten Happen. Mit diesem Buch gelingt es leicht,
Access-Grundkenntnisse auszubauen, neue Features zu entdecken und
damit deutlich mehr aus dem Programm herauszuholen.

Phil Windley
First Edition 2005
ISBN 0-596-00878-3
254 pages, EUR 34.00

Network-based, automated services have changed the way businesses

Lorrie Faith Cranor & Simson Garfinkel
First Edition 2005
ISBN 0-596-00827-9

There is increasing agreement that we need to design secure computer
systems that people can actually use, but less agreement about how
to reach this goal. Destined to be the classic reference in this
emerging field, Security & Usability collects 34 groundbreaking
essays from leading security and human-computer interaction (HCI)
researchers on authentication, privacy and anonymity, secure systems,
commercialization, and much more. It is expected to start an avalanche
of discussion, new ideas, and further advances in this important field.

***What Is Web 2.0
Defining just what Web 2.0 means still engenders much disagreement. Some
decry it as a meaningless marketing buzzword, while others have accepted
it as the new conventional wisdom. Tim O'Reilly attempts to clarify just
what we mean by Web 2.0, digging into the implications of viewing the
web as a platform, which applications fall squarely under its purview,
and which do
not.
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2005/09/30/what-is-web-20.html


***Beta Broadcast 002: Data for Web 2.0

Web, NAVTEQ's Robert Denaro discusses why NAVTEQ drives so many miles

online mapping applications, Phil Torrone is already hacking the iPod

***Perlcast Interviews Jesse Vincent, author of "RT Essentials"
http://perlcast.com/2005/09/29/interview-with-jesse-vincent/


***What Is Free Software?
Today, free software is a large body of high-quality code on which much
of the internet depends for critical functions. But free software is
much more than a collection of programs. Karl Fogel examines free
software under three different lights: as a political movement, as a
programming methodology, and as a business model. Karl is the author of
"Producing Open Source Software."
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/09/29/what-is-free-software.html


****Installing Debian 
Debian GNU/Linux is a powerful and popular community-developed Linux
distribution--and the basis for several other useful and usable
distributions. With the recent release of Debian Sarge, it's better than
ever. Edd Dumbill, Debian developer and GNU/Linux advocate, walks
through a typical installation.
http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2005/09/29/installing_debian.html


***Backward Compatibility? We've Heard of It
PHP 5's release has sparked a PR disaster for the popular open source
programming language because of some significant backwards
compatibility
issues.
http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2005/09/15/backward-compatibility-weve-heard-of-it/


***Using FreeBSD's ACLs 
The standard Unix permissions scheme works fine if you have simple
needs, but juggling groups and users can grow unwieldy very quickly.
FreeBSD's Access Control Lists give you more control over who can access
files and directories. Dru Lavigne explains how to enable, understand,
and use them appropriately.

of Fink, with some info about how it compares to DarwinPorts, another
package management system for Mac OS X.

works, its improved support in areas like state management and tracing
and debugging, and important new features in version 2.0. Wei-Meng is
the author of "ASP.NET: A Developer's Notebook."
http://www.ondotnet.com/pub/a/dotnet/2005/09/19/what-is-asp-net.html

Running Windows using administrator credentials can be hazardous to the
health of your machine. Mitch Tulloch, author of "Windows Server Hacks,"
shows you how you can help solve the problem by using Windows Explorer
while running alternate
credentials.
http://www.windowsdevcenter.com/pub/a/windows/2005/09/20/using-windows-explorer-with-alternate-credentials.html


***What Is C#?
Jesse Liberty reveals this little-understood secret: C# is really one of
two "coatings" of MSIL, the Microsoft Intermediate Language (the second
is Visual Basic 2005). Both C# and VB 2005 produce MSIL, and it is MSIL
that runs on the .NET platform. Jesse provides an overview of the C#
language and how it works within the .NET platform, and concludes with
resources for coding in C#. Jesse is the author of "Programming C#, 4th
Edition."

Java programmers: if you've ever needed an application to perform a task
at a specific time, automatically, Chuck Cavaness suggests you check out
the Quartz Scheduler. Cavaness looks at this open source job-scheduling
framework, explains where to get it, how it works, and reviews its
feature set.
http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2005/09/28/what-is-quartz.html


***What Is Hibernate?
Hibernate is a free open source Java package that makes it easy to work
with relational databases. James Elliott describes the "enlightened
laziness" that resulted in the development of Hibernate, how it works,
and when it makes good sense to use it in your projects. James is the
author of "Hibernate: A Developer's Notebook."

stock and so they made their own--with a total of eight outlets--for
almost half the price. Here's the simple cheap

***The DAM Book: Digital Asset Management for Photographers
Publisher: O'Reilly
ISBN: 0596100183
In the world of digital photography, Digital Asset Management (DAM)
refers to every part of the process that follows the taking of the
picture, through final output and permanent storage. Anyone who shoots,
scans, or stores digital photographs is practicing some form of DAM, but
most of us are not doing so systematically or efficiently. In "The DAM
Book: Digital Asset Management for Photographers," photographer Peter
Krogh presents a solid plan and practical advice on how to file, find,
protect, and re-use photographs, focusing on best practices for digital

***Control Freaks: Modding and the Clash with Law 
Modders, and the millions more who possess a natural creativity and an
urge to get control over their lives, have, as Andy Oram puts it,
"tumbled head-on into a legal snake pit." Their passion for changing
things has become one of the fastest up-and-coming social trends in the
US, and thus has drawn the litigious eye of large entertainment and
media companies. Andy remains optimistic, however, that modders
themselves can find ways to shift the focus away from modding as a legal
issue, and toward a view of modding as a social and business
issue.

btw. mir war heute ein bischen langweilig, da hab ich mir mal über das problem
mit den logik-rätseln gedanken gemacht. hier ist schon mal ein kleines
programm, welches alle möglichen kombinationen einer zeile/spalte zurück gibt.
meine idee im moment ist, diese nacheinander rekursiv durchzugehen, und
möglichst früh abzubrechen, sobald klar wird, dass ein weg nicht mehr zur
lösung füren kann. dafür entwickle ich im moment einen regex...

---<snip>---
my $dim    = 20;
my @blocks = qw/7 9/;

my @solution = iter( $dim, \@blocks );
print "$_\n" for @solution;

sub iter {
    my $dim      = shift;
    my @blocks   = @{ shift() };
    my $solution = shift || "";
    my $block    = shift @blocks;
    map {
        my $try = $solution . (" " x $_) . ("#" x $block);
        @blocks ? iter( $dim, \@blocks, $try . " " )
            : $try . " " x ( $dim - length $try )
    } 0 .. ( $dim - length($solution) - $block - sum @blocks - @blocks );
}
---<snap>---

1. PHPUnit - kurz & gut
========================
Sebastian Bergmann
1. Auflage Oktober 2005
ISBN 3-89721-515-2
84 Seiten , EUR 8.00

Alle Programmierer machen Fehler - gute Programmierer verwenden Tests, 
um Fehler im Code so früh wie möglich zu entdecken. Für die 
testgetriebene Entwicklung in PHP ist PHPUnit das Open Source-Tool 
der Wahl, und niemand weiß mehr darüber als Sebastian Bergmann, der 
Entwickler von PHPUnit.
In dieser Taschenreferenz versammelt er all die Informationen, die man
bei der praktischen Arbeit mit PHPUnit noch einmal nachschlagen möchte.
Das Buch enthält neben Referenzmaterial zu PHPUnit die wichtigsten
Informationen zum Testen von Programmcode allgemein, zum Prinzip des
Test-First und zum Schreiben und Ausführen von Unit-Tests mit PHPUnit.

Das Buch steht als HTML-Version zum kostenlosen Download auf
http://www.phpunit.de/pocket_guide/index.de.php zur Verfügung.

OpenOffice.org ist eine voll funktionstüchtige Open Source-
Alternative zu Microsofts Office-Paket - und noch dazu kostenlos.
Immer mehr Unternehmen und private Anwender entscheiden sich
für den Umstieg. Das Buch dokumentiert die praktische Arbeit
mit Writer und Calc, mit dem vektororientierten Zeichenprogramm
Draw, dem Präsentationsprogramm Impress sowie dem neuen
Datenbankmodul Base.
Im Mittelpunkt steht nicht die monotone Erläuterung der
verschiedenen Menüs, sondern wie bestimmte Aufgaben des
Office-Alltags zu lösen bzw. Probleme zu vermeiden sind.
Originelle Beispiele und der lockere Stil des Autors
sorgen dafür, dass Ihnen das Einarbeiten in OpenOffice.org
Spaß macht. Sie kommen nicht nur mit den neuen Programmen
zurecht, sondern erfahren auch, wie Sie Ihre Produktivität
im Office-Alltag steigern.

Michael Mahrt
1. Auflage Januar 2006
ISBN 3-89721-411-3
(ca.) 336 Seiten, EUR 24.00

In der Version 2.0 besitzt OpenOffice.org mit Base jetzt auch ein
eigenständiges Datenbankmodul. Die verständliche Einführung erklärt
grundlegende Begriffen der Datenbankwelt angefangen bei Tabellen
und Datentypen bis hin zu Bezeichnungen wie Backend oder DBMS.
Im Mittelpunkt des Buches stehen die zentralen Datenbank-Funktionen
wie Abfragen, Berichte, Formulare oder das Design einer neuen Datenbank,
die jeweils Schritt für Schritt anhand von Beispielen vorgestell
werden.
Neben der Arbeit mit den jeweiligen Base-Assistenten beschreibt das Buch
auch, wie man eigenständig z.B. Abfragen erstellt oder Datenbanke
entwirft.
Weitere Themen sind u.a. die Verabreitung von Calc- und Writer-Dateien,
Ansichten oder serverbasierte Datenquellen (MySQL, Adabas von
StarOffice, abstrahierende Treiber wie JDBC).

==============================
Norman Richards & Sam Griffith
Deutsche Übersetzung von Jörg Staudemeyer
1. Auflage Oktober 2005
ISBN 3-89721-436-9, 200 Seiten, EUR 29.00

JBoss hat sich innerhalb kürzester Zeit zu einer echten Alternative zu
proprietären Java-Application-Servern gemausert. Der Server ist schnell,
flexibel und kostenlos zu haben, so dass es nicht überrascht, wenn er
inzwischen über eine Million Mal downgeloaded wurde und immer häufiger
zum Einsatz kommt.

JBoss - Das Entwicklerheft wurde von Entwicklern für Entwickler
geschrieben. Die Autoren, selbst bei der Firma JBoss, bieten
J2EE-Programmierern einen schnellen Einstieg in die Server-Software und
erklären ohne Umschweife und ausufernde Diskussionen, wie man einen
JBoss-Server zum Laufen bringt. Deshalb finden Sie in diesem Buch vor
allem eines: viel Code.

Aus dem Inhalt:

     * JBoss installieren, konfigurieren und überwachen
     * Deployment einer Beispiel-Anwendung auf JBoss
     * Eine MySQL-Datenbank anlegen und mit einer JBoss- Anwendung
       verbinden
     * Sicherheitseinstellungen konfigurieren
     * Protokollierung
     * Ein Datenbankschema verwalten
     * Objekte mappen
     * JBoss managen und ein Anwendung überwachen
     * JBoss im Produktivbetrieb

Hello--

I wanted to pass along the following news:

Daniel Steinberg has been working on podcasting for O'Reilly and he
called to let me know about two ways in which user group members might
want to get involved. First, if you have your own podcast, let us know
about it and we will link to it and feature your shows from time to time
on our podcasting home page (http://www.oreillynet.com/podcasts). Also,
if you have an interesting speaker coming up, you might want to do an
interview and submit it for inclusion in our magazine show "Distributing
the Future" (http://www.oreillynet.com/future). In any case, if you have
interesting ideas for how you might want to contribute to O'Reilly
podcasting, send Daniel an email at daniel at oreilly.com.

Thanks for your help,

Marsee Henon

Lustig, da bin ich schon als kleines Kind mit meiner Mutter in den
Weinbergen herumgelaufen, während mein Vater dort "irgendwas" gemacht hat :)

Gibts den "Hirschen" noch? Grüß auf jeden Fall Oberwolfach schön von mir.

Mache ich. Ich nehme auch meine Kamera mit und mache Fotos.
Für mich ist es das erste Mal, deswegen habe ich dann zugesagt.
Aber ich hätte es schon gerne 4 Wochen früher gewusst, dann hätte ich
zum Beispiel von Bonn aus einfach weiterfahren können.

Hallo an alle,

ich fände das auch sehr schön da die Wahrscheinlichkeit für meine 
Anwesenheit erheblich steigt, ich ziehe nämlich am 2./3.12. von 
Karlsruhe nach Detmold und könnte daher vielleicht am 6.12. zu einem 
netten Nikolausabend kommen.

Liebe Grüße,
Mario
