> ***Essential CVS
> Order Number: 4591
> "Essential CVS" shows you how to apply order, using CVS, to the task of
> managing large quantities of documents, code, web site content, and
> more. The book covers basic concepts and usage of CVS, and features a
> comprehensive reference for CVS commands. You'll also find advanced
> information on automation, logging, branching and merging, and
> "watches." With Essential CVS you can have it all: the order that CVS
> brings and the comprehensive documentation you need.
> http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/cvs/
>
> Chapter 2, "CVS Quickstart Guide," is available online:
> http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/cvs/chapter/index.html

> ***Learning Perl Objects, References & Modules
> Order Number: 4788
> "Learning Perl Objects, References & Modules" picks up where "Learning
> Perl" leaves off. The book offers a gentle introduction to the world of
> references, object-oriented programming, and the use of Perl modules.
> Like "Learning Perl," each chapter in "Learning Perl Objects" is
> designed to be small enough to be read in an hour or two, and each ends
> with exercises to practice what you've learned. This book covers
> everything that separates the Perl dabbler from the Perl programmer.
> http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/lrnperlorm/
>
> Chapter 3, "Introduction to References," is available online:
> http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/lrnperlorm/chapter/index.html

>
> ***Java Web Services in a Nutshell
> Order Number: 3994
> "Java Web Services in a Nutshell" is a high-speed tutorial to the
> technologies Sun Microsystems is creating to implement web services
> with Java. This book offers a succinct introduction and a handy
> reference to the Java/XML APIs, more commonly known as the Java Web
> Services Development Pack. Filled with practical information, the book
> provides Java developers with everything they need to know to use J2EE
> APIs for web services, as well as to program with JAX-RPC.
> http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/javawsian/
>
> Chapter 3, "SAAJ," is available online:
> http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/javawsian/chapter/index.html
>
>
> ***Packaged Composite Applications
> Order Number: 5520
> "Packaged Composite Applications" is the result of a systematic search
> through the brain trust of SAP for all of the relevant arguments,
> examples, concepts, and analogies related to Packaged Composite
> Applications (PCAs). The book combines the approach of a
> forward-looking analyst with the perspective of an executive who must
> make things work, without skimping on the relevant technical details.
> Learn about the ideas driving PCAs forward in the marketplace, and the
> problems and solutions that executives and technologists will encounter
> in implementation.  http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/pkgcompaps/
>
>
> ***Linux Security Cookbook
> Order Number: 3919
> "Linux Security Cookbook" is a system saver. It includes real solutions
> to a wide range of targeted problems, such as sending encrypted email
> within Emacs, restricting access to network services at particular
> times of day, firewalling a web server, preventing IP spoofing, setting
> up key-based SSH authentication, and much more. With over 150
> ready-to-use scripts and configuration files, this unique book helps
> administrators secure their systems without having to look up specific
> syntax.  http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/linuxsckbk/
>
> Sample recipes from Chapter 9, "Testing and Monitoring," are available
> online:  http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/linuxsckbk/chapter/index.html

> http://today.java.net/
>
>
> ***A Musician's Take on File Sharing, DRM, and Copyleft Licensing
> Musicans can be a very adaptable community, and many are looking at
> online music and file sharing differently than the companies that often
> contract with them. Miriam Rainsford explores issues of P2P, DRM, and
> copyleft licensing from her musician point of view.
> http://www.openp2p.com/pub/a/p2p/2003/06/10/musician_pov.html

> As web interfaces become ubiquitous, more and more complex back-end

> ***Using Regular Expressions and XML Classes to Parse Your Log Files
> Most systems these days can generate log files to store activity of the
> system. What about when you are asked to transform all that data into
> usuable information? Roy Osherove shows you how to use regular
> expressions and .NET's XML classes to turn your log files into a
> DataSet to allow you to search, sort, or report on your data
