Betreff: Newsletter from O\'Reilly UG Program, October 1

Hi there,

Thanks to everyone who requested a copy of slide:ology last month. Send
me a link to your slide presentation that uses Nancy's suggestions and
I'll share them in a future newsletter and blog about them on
oreilly.com. And just in case you want to see more from Nancy, here's 
a recent webcast http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/e/1095.

Has an O'Reilly book, conference, or course helped you or someone you
know? Did you keep a job, get a better job, or change direction
entirely? We want to hear about it. Please ask around at your next 
meeting and see if anyone wants to share their story with us by sending 
me an email.

With Adobe's recent announcement of CS4, O'Reilly's been busy working
with our authors to keep you up-to-date. Soon we'll have new versions of
our One-on-One and Missing Manual series and we're adding a few
new books such as "Photoshop CS4 The Missing Manual," "The Photoshop 
CS4 Companion for Photographers," and "Photoshop CS4 Channels & Masks
One-on-One." Read this blog post for the full scoop.
http://fyi.oreilly.com/2008/09/oreilly-announces-8-new-cs4-ti.html

And Deke McClelland has a new video called "Photoshop CS4: Buy or Die"
http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/2008/09/23/dekepod-buy-or-die.html
CS4 fliers are available for your group too. Do you need some?

I'm looking for people to read our new "Head First Statistics" and "Head
First Physics." These books are designed to be used as a supplement
study guide for the College Board's Advanced Placement exams. Do you
know students, teachers, parents, or anyone that might be interested in
looking over a copy?

Travel update: I'll be attending Austin Maker Faire October 18 and 19
in Texas, Professional Developers Conference October 27-30 in Los
Angeles, and Adobe Max November 16-19 in San Francisco. Are you going to
any of these events? Please let me know and we can try and meet up.

We've also got a new community page on O'Reilly at
http://community.oreilly.com/ Look for our "O'Reilly Spoken Here"
posters you can print yourself, read our featured review (maybe it's
yours), or see what's new in our blogs.

Web Designers feel comfortable with complex digital imaging software

to work with JavaScript to add interactivity and custom usability

this session, author Christopher Schmitt (CSS Cookbook, Releasing CSS)
covers how JavaScript frameworks like jQuery can save time, hair loss
and still add the cool.

iPhone Forensics 101: Bypassing the iPhone Passcode Video
Recently, Jonathan Zdziarski, author of the just-released "iPhone
Forensics," delivered a much-talked about presentation on bypassing the
iPhone 3G passcode, in which he revealed some little known "security"
issues pertaining to that device. Most notable was the fact that the
iPhone captures and stores screenshots of any place you visit on the web
(using your iPhone, of course). The recording is now ready for viewing.

Work on Stuff That Matters--Tim O'Reilly @ Web 2.0
Tim O'Reilly, founder of O'Reilly Media, didn't mince words as he
addressed the crowd at Web 2.0 Expo in New York City. As CNET reported,
he said: "You have to conclude, if you look at the focus of a lot of
what you call 'Web 2.0,' the relentless focus on advertising-based
consumer models, lightweight applications, we may be living in somewhat
of a bubble, and I'm not talking about an investment bubble. (It's) a
reality bubble." Indeed, in the wake of Wall Street's tumble and anxiety
all around, Tim is asking people to think about what they would do
differently and to "work on stuff that matters."

University's Computer Science Department says he is seeing more interest

hedge fund majors."

527 Seiten, 43.00 EUR

"Head First Ajax" gives you an up-to-date perspective
that lets you see exactly what you can do -- and has
been done - with Ajax. Using the unique and highly

Ajax components - including the JavaScript event model,
DOM, XML, JSON, and more - as it progresses.

716 Seiten, 34.00 EUR

Wouldn't it be great if there were a statistics book
that made histograms, probability distributions, and
chi square analysis more enjoyable than going to the
dentist? Head First Statistics brings this typically
dry subject to life, teaching statistics through engaging,
interactive, and thought-provoking material, full of
puzzles, stories, quizzes, visual aids, and real-world
examples. This book satisfies the requirements for passing
the College Board's Advanced Placement (AP) Statistics Exam.

With iPhone use increasing in business networks, IT
and security professionals face a serious challenge:

necessary to conduct complete and highly specialized
forensic analysis of the iPhone, iPhone 3G, and iPod Touch.

Pogue is back with a thoroughly updated edition of iPhone:

screen iPod, and best-ever mobile Web browser, the new
affordable iPhone is packed with possibilities. But
without an objective guide like this one, you'll never
unlock all it can do for you. Each custom designed page

296 Seiten, 43.00 EUR

What can you do when database performance doesn't meet
expectations? This book offers methods for refactoring
(or changing) SQL code to improve performance without
altering a database application's purpose -- and helps
you do it on a shoestring budget. This isn't a rehash of
theory, but a tested set of options for making code
modifications to dramatically improve the way your
applications function.

with the mechanics of simulating button pushes and keystrokes,
and builds up to writing clear code, organizing tests, and
beyond.
