The COM and CORBA technologies are often pitted against each other, viewed simply as competing architectures for creating distributed solutions. While the most significant difference between COM and CORBA is their support for different operating system platforms, software developers must realize that each technology has its own strengths that clearly differentiate it from the other. In COM and CORBA(r) Side by Side, Jason Pritchard objectively describes when and how developers should use both technologies--together or separately--to maximize the success of their designs. This book helps softwa... View More...

What if you could someday put the manufacturing power of an automobile plant on your desktop? It may sound far-fetched-but then, thirty years ago, the notion of personal computers in every home sounded like science fiction. According to Neil Gershenfeld, the renowned MIT scientist and inventor, the next big thing is personal fabrication -the ability to design and produce your own products, in your own home, with a machine that combines consumer electronics with industrial tools. Personal fabricators (PF's) are about to revolutionize the world just as personal computers did a generation ago. PF... View More...
This is a manual on upgrading and repairing a PC. It illustrates the dynamics of making a system perform actively with the installation of sound cards, adding more memory to hard drives, the use of modems, and advanced storage systems. View More...
In software creation requirements and analysis is the process of defining a system. Teams that have an unclear idea of the business problems a system has to address have to repair the system later. This guide shows how to avoid such a pitfall. View More...
The first start-to-finish, step-by-step guide to modeling and designing SOA. Using Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), enterprises can deliver high-value business services more rapidly and effectively, and gain unprecedented flexibility and value from existing IT infrastructure. SOA has earned the support of virtually every major software provider, and some 75% of enterprises surveyed are now investing in SOA technology and expertise. In Service-Oriented Architecture: Concepts, Technology, and Design, the author of 2004's best-selling SOA book presents the first end-to-end-tutorial for modeli... View More...
Long a standard practice in traditional manufacturing, the concept of product lines is relatively new to the software industry. A software product line is a family of systems that share a common set of core technical assets, with preplanned extensions and variations to address the needs of specific customers or market segments. Software organizations of all types and sizes are discovering that when skillfully implemented, a product line strategy can yield enormous gains in productivity, quality, and time-to-market. Software Product Lines is the culmination of an intensive investigation, u... View More...
As the authoritative guide to JCL, this work has been revised and updated to reflect the recent changes in this dynamic field. Continuing the fine tradition of its predecessors, this book explains the MVS operating system and provides readers with the information they need to use it. Major changes have been incorporated, including: the changes caused by the introduction of MVS/ESA; a new chapter on SMS (System Management Subsystem) which is an optional system to manage disk data sets; a chapter on IBM's TSO/REXX which is now SAA's standard procedural language; expanded coverage of VSAM; and a ...
