> adds new coverage of JDBC, NIO, Servlets, EJB, and JavaServer Pages.
> Learn how to create a tuning strategy, use profiling tools to
> understand a program's behavior, and avoid performance penalties from
> inefficient code. You'll end up with code that's robust, maintainable,
> and fast.  http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/javapt2/

> new book, and its connection to bioinformatics. Wolfram will give a
> keynote at O'Reilly's 2003 Bioinformatics Technology Conference.

> ***Screen-scraping with WWW::Mechanize
> Screen-scraping is the job of programmatically navigating through a
> usually visual task--like a web site--and then dealing with the result;
> and WWW::Mechanize is the best screen scraper out there for Perl! Chris
> Ball puts the two things together, to ensure that he never misses his
> favourite TV shows again.

> Java

> ***Opening Microsoft File Formats to Java
> Microsoft's file formats were once black arts to developers on
> non-sanctioned platforms. Thanks to Jakarta POI, however, it's possible
> to read and write them from Java. Apache's Andrew C. Oliver and Avik
> Sengupta explain the basics of the project in the first of a series of
> three articles.

> .NET
> ---------------------
> ***Hosting Windows Forms Controls in COM Control
> Containers As wonderful as the new WinForms control model is, if you
> still need to host controls in COM control containers, you are limited
> to exactly one control host that also supports the hosting of WinForms
> controls: Internet Explorer. If you want to host your controls in COM
> containers, Chris Sells shows you how in this article.
> http://www.ondotnet.com/pub/a/dotnet/2003/01/20/winformshosting.html
>
>
> ***Dealing with Group By and Order By in .NET
> In many situations, an ADO.NET developer will want to use the Order By
> and Group By semantic of SQL. This article by Satya Komatineni will
> show you how to do it.
> http://www.ondotnet.com/pub/a/dotnet/2003/01/14/groupbyds.html

> ***802.11g's
> "Extreme" Emergence The 802.11g spec uses a relatively new method of
> encoding bits onto radio waves in such a way as to squeeze up to 54
> Mbps of raw data across a single channel. Apple has embraced this new
> technology in its AirPort Extreme radio cards. Here's how it works.
> http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/wireless/2003/01/23/80211g.html

> ***PHP's PEAR on Mac OS X
> The PHP Extension and Application Repository (PEAR) is an online
> repository of high-quality, peer-reviewed PHP classes that conform to a
> rigorous coding standard. In this article, Jason Perkins shows you how
> to install, configure, and use the PEAR Package Manager on Mac OS X
> 10.2 http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2003/01/21/pear_macosx.html
