> ***Adding System Calls
> Kernel programming sometimes feels like a dark art where application
> programmers should never venture, but sometimes it's the right way to
> solve a problem. (Oh, and it's also very interesting.) One of the easiest
> places to start is by adding a new system call to a kernel. Kevin Lo
> explains how and why, with the OpenBSD kernel.

> Java
> ---------------------
> ***XML Parsing in a Producer-Consumer Model
> Decent APIs such as SAX have made XML parsing much easier than in the old
> DOM and pre-DOM days. That doesn't mean it's completely natural, though,
> in all circumstances. Throw XML parsing into a multithreaded application
> and things can get weird quickly. That's where a different approach can
> help. Prabu Arumugam demonstrates the producer-consumer model, which can
> allow multithreaded XML processing.

> ***SearchAssist: A Portable Search Engine in Java
> While server-side Java solves many problems, it's not always available.
> Besides, there's more to a good UI than HTML can provide. Sometimes an
> applet can fit the bill. Ashwin Jayaprakash demonstrates a search engine
> applet designed for portability and power.

> ***.NET Serialization, Part 1
> Many a time, you may need to persist the value of an object to secondary
> storage. For example, you may wish to save the values of a couple of
> Point objects, representing the positioning of an item on screen, to
> secondary storage. The act of "flattening" an object into a serial
> form is known as serialization. Wei-Meng Lee discusses serialization
> as supported in the .NET framework--Binary and SOAP serialization.
> http://www.ondotnet.com/pub/a/dotnet/2003/10/13/serializationpt1.html
>
>
> ***Understanding Reflection, Part 1
> Sometimes it is useful to be able to examine information about the
> objects in your applications. In this article, Nick Harrison starts you
> out with the basics of reflection.

> Many photographers like to peek at their digital photos before uploading
