Wann haben Sie das letzte Mal ein Buch gelesen, das Sie nicht mehr aus der Hand legen konnten? Ein Buch, das auf jeder einzelnen Seite eine neue �berraschung bot? Bei einem spannenden Krimi oder der Biographie einer au�ergew�hnlichen Pers�nlichkeit schl�gt man sich ja gern die N�chte um die Ohren. Aber bei einem Fachbuch? Einem Fachbuch zum Thema "Entwurfsmuster"? Erich Gamma, ein wichtiger Kopf in der "Gang of Four", die die Entwurfsmuster-Bewegung aus der Taufe hob, hat ein solches Buch gefunden: "Ich habe das Buch gestern bekommen und fing an zu lesen - und konnte nicht mehr aufh�ren. Das Lesen macht Spass, aber dennoch wird fast alles behandelt und die Autoren bringen die Sache auf den Punkt. Ich bin wirklich beeindruckt." - Erich Gamma, IBM Distinguished Engineer, and Ko-Autor der "Design Patterns" (Kommentar zur engl. Originalausgabe) Wenn Sie sich f�r Entwurfsmuster interessieren, dann sollten Sie dieses Lesevergn�gen nicht auslassen: es handelt sich um unsere Neuerscheinung "Entwurfsmuster von Kopf bis Fu�", die es nun endlich auch auf deutsch gibt!

Auflage 2006, ISBN 3-89721-421-0 672 Seiten, EUR 48.00 Jetzt endlich in deutscher Sprache! Dieses Buch hat seit Erscheinen f�r Furore gesorgt. Mit dem einzigartigen Head First-Buchkonzept ist es den Autoren gelungen, das schwierige Thema "Entwurfsmuster" witzig, leicht verst�ndlich und dennoch gr�ndlich darzustellen.

Sicherheit im Internet, 2. Auflage ====================================== Krzysztof Janowicz 2. Auflage 2006 ISBN 3-89721-425-3 352 Seiten, inkl. CD-ROM, EUR 24.00 Einige Angriffe aus dem Web lassen sich bekannterma�en schon dadurch vereiteln, dass man darauf verzichtet, zwielichtige Mail-Attachments zu �ffnen. Andere hingegen sind komplexer und nur mit Hilfe von Virenscannern und Firewalls in den Griff zu bekommen. Der beste Schutz vor Viren, W�rmern, Phishing und Dialern aber besteht darin, mit einem gesunden Sicherheitsbewusstsein das Web zu nutzen und die entsprechenden Sicherheitstools effektiv zum Einsatz zu bringen. Hier setzt unser Buch "Sicherheit im Internet" an und bespricht die g�ngigen Internet-Dienste unter Sicherheitsaspekten. Neben Hintergrundwissen gibt es jede Menge Hinweise zur Konfiguration der meistgenutzten Mail-Clients und Browser sowie ein Erste-Hilfe-Paket f�r den Notfall. Aus dem Inhalt: - Surfen, E-Mail, Instant Messaging - Online-Banking und E-Commerce - Technisches Hintergrundwissen - Phishing, Trojaner und andere Angriffe aus dem Web - Erste-Hilfe nach einem Angriff Ein Probekapitel des Buches finden Sie hier: http://www.oreilly.de/catalog/sii2ger/chapter/ Kapitel 9: Anonymit�t (PDF-Format) 3.

CD-ROM, EUR 29.00 Die etablierte Musikindustrie ist bereits seit Jahren im Umbruch, aber auch f�r noch unbekannte Musiker und Labels �ffnen das Internet und neue Technologien v�llig neue M�glichkeiten: Ohne gro�en Aufwand k�nnen sie ihre Musik jetzt selbst vertreiben und einem weltweiten Publikum bekannt machen. Netlabel-Experte Moritz Sauer zeigt in diesem Buch, wie dies erreicht wird. Zu den behandelten Themen geh�ren die Aufbereitung von Audiodateien f�r das Web, Konzeption und Layout der Website, Einsatz eines Redaktionssystems wie Wordpress, Newsletter und andere Mittel zur Promotion im Web (z.B. Guerilla-Marketing). Die im Buch entwickelten HTML- und Photoshop-Musterdateien stehen auf der beiliegenden CD frei zur Verf�gung. Sie k�nnen damit auch ohne Profikenntnisse anspruchsvolle Musik-Websites entwickeln. Die CD enth�lt au�erdem zahlreiche freie Programme zur Bearbeitung von Audiodateien und zur Website-Entwicklung.

In the U.S., if it's the government doing the wiretapping, it's technically simple. At the O'Reilly Emerging Telephony Conference Jack Herrington, author of "Podcasting Hacks" interviewed Electronic Frontier Foundation Chairman of the Board Brad Templeton about the technical, social, and political aspects of wiretapping. At the end there's a nice juicy hint about upcoming action >from the EFF with regards to the recent NSA wiretapping case. http://www.oreillynet.com/future --Marsee ================================================================ O'Reilly 1005 Gravenstein Highway North Sebastopol, CA 95472 http://ug.oreilly.com/ http://www.oreilly.com ================================================================
