Ja, ein neuer, Juergen hat ihn mitgebracht. So waren wir dann wieder zu dritt. Aus meinen Versuchen ist leider nichts geworden :-( Es gab mal wieder ein bisschen (viel) off-topic talk, und dann haben wir noch gemeinsam die Perl6-Essentials durchgeblaettert und einige lustige Neuerungen gefunden. Das Perl-Debugger-Buechlein ging an mich weiter, ich habe es im Bus schon angesehen, und hoffe bald einen Review zu schreiben, damit O'Reilly auch gluecklich wird. Treffen um 20 Uhr fand der Rest auch ok, insofern ist die Aenderung wohl ok. Ansonsten gab es noch die Anregung, dass wir vielleicht mal Handynummern (falls vorhanden, habe keins) austauschen, so dass man frueher absagen kann. Aber wir haben uns ganz gut beschaeftigen koennen. Ich packe heute abend mal einen Bericht auf die Seite. Es waere vielleicht besser, auf die Dauer auf deinen Server umzuziehn, und fuer jedes Treffen eine eigene Seite zu haben. Ausserdem haette O'Reilly es ja auch ganz gerne, wenn die Reviews in einem regelkmaessigen mailing/webseite etc. erschienen. Koennen wir ja naechstesmal besprechen.

It's a tightly focused book that examines all aspects of Eclipse: the menus, preferences, views, perspectives, editors, team, and debugging methods, and how they're used every day by thousands of developers. Eclipse covers hundreds of techniques, from the most basic Java development to creating your own plugin editors for the Eclipse environment.

This effort is called WarDriving. In order to successfully WarDrive there are hardware and software tools required. This book covers those tools, along with cost estimates and recommendations. Since there are hundreds of possible configurations that can be used for WarDriving, some of the most popular are presented to help readers decide what to buy for their own WarDriving setup. Many of the tools that a WarDriver uses are the same tools that could be used by an attacker to gain unauthorized access to a wireless network. Since this is not the goal of a WarDriver, the methodology that users can use to ethically WarDrive is presented. In addition, complete coverage of WarDriving applications, such as NetStumbler, MiniStumbler, and Kismet, are covered. http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/1931836035/ ================================================ Upcoming Events ================================================ ***For more events, please see: http://events.oreilly.com/ ***Matthew Gast ("802.11 Wireless Networks: The Definitive Guide" & "Network Printing") Networld+Interop--May 9-14 Matthew presents his LAN Access Security--Wireless and Wired class for the Interop Labs this year in Las Vegas, NV.
