> Microsoft Word documents and their underlying Rich Text Format. Our

> focuses on the "workhorse" codes that programmers can't do without,

> and Chandler, as well as infrastructure you can use to build your own
> applications. This book cuts to the heart of the W3C's often obscure
> specifications, giving you tools to apply RDF successfully in your own
> projects.  http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/pracrdf/?CMP=EMC-79IF02722688

> Safari News
> ================================================
> ***"Go On Safari" Tip of the Week Winner--John Davey, Philadelphia Area 
> Computer Society, Web Design SIG
> "...Safari dovetails very well with your print library. I have a couple
> books that now have second editions. Safari lets me review the new
> editions on the Safari bookshelf for reference when I need them. And of
> course, when looking to buy a book on a subject, Safari lets you search
> the catalogs of several publishers and read as much of each book as you
> need to make a decision."
>
> Your group can also participate in this introductory program just for
> user group members. To "Go on Safari," any of your members who sign up
> for our Safari 14-day free trial can send comments on their
> experiences, or tips and tricks for how they used Safari  (it only
> needs to be 2 sentences long, but it may be longer) to
> safari_talk at oreilly.com.  (Please include your UG name in the email.)
>
> Every week someone will be chosen from the tips or comments submitted
> to receive fun stuff from O'Reilly (T-shirts, book bags, or other
> surprises). If a member of your user group is selected, your group
> receives free gifts, too. Whatever the individual member receives, your
> UG will get one, too, to give away at your next meeting, or use however
> you see fit. Recipients--and their comments--will be announced in the
> User Group Newsletter.

> ***New User Group page and Book Review Guideline section for the O'Reilly 
> UG Program
> We have decided to give the UG page (http://ug.oreilly.com/) a new look
> by updating the graphics section, adding a "User Group Programs and
> Resources" section, and a "Book Review Guidelines and Suggestions"
> section. Writing a review has never been so easy....

> ***Secure Cooking with C and C++ In this first in a three-part series of 
> sample recipes from "Secure
> Programming Cookbook for C and C++," the authors offer nine basic rules
> for proper data validation, which they recommend all programmers
> follow. From their first rule: "Assume all input is guilty until proven
> otherwise" to their last: "The better you understand the data, the
> better you can filter it," the advice presented here will help
> programmers keep unwanted, malicious data out of their applications.

> ***Simplify Your Life with Apache Virtual Hosts
> Not every web site needs its own server or IP address. Apache and HTTP
> 1.1 both allow different sites to share a single box and an IP address.
> Russell Dyer explains how virtual hosts can make your life easier as a
> web developer and a system administrator.
> http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/apache/2003/07/24/vhosts.html

> ***Defending Your Site Against Spam
> To users, unsolicited commercial email is an annoyance. To mail server
> administrators, it's a threat. Dru Nelson recently had his network
> attacked by spammers. He explains the various defenses he considered
> for protecting against future attacks.

> Java
> ---------------------
> ***Why Web Developers Need JavaServer Faces
> Several good frameworks exist to make the Java server programmer's life
> easier. Unfortunately, several hard problems still exist, including
> multiple output-format support and separation of content from
> presentation. In this first Java Q&A column, Chuck Cavaness explains
> why JSF matters.

> ---------------------
> .NET
> ---------------------
> ***StringBuilders Explained
> Visual Basic programmers have long enjoyed ease in string
> manipulations. It is easy to create a string, split it up, concatenate
> multiple strings, etc. However, this seemingly innocent piece of code
> is not the recommended way to perform string manipulations in .NET.
> Wei-Meng Lee shows you how to make sense of the StringBuilder class.

> XML

> ***Why Choose RSS 1.0? Part of RSS 1.0's value is in retaining its roots 
> as primarily a
> metadata specification. A journal publisher explains why they chose RSS
> 1.0 as the basis for distributing RSS feeds of their publications.

> ***Penny-Pinching PowerBook
> Do you need portability for email and word processing, but don't want
> to plunk down a pile of cash for a new Apple laptop? Diehard Mac user
> Michael Norton describes his penny-pinching Odyssey that explored the
> PowerBook 280c and the 1400.
