Eloquent Ruby - PDF

Book Description
It's easy to write correct Ruby code, but to gain the fluency needed to write great Ruby code, you must go beyond syntax and absorb the "Ruby way" of thinking and problem solving. In Eloquent Ruby, Russ Olsen helps you write Ruby like true Rubyists do–so you can leverage its immense, surprising power.

Olsen  draws on years of experience internalizing the Ruby culture and  teaching Ruby to other programmers. He guides you to the "Ah Ha!"  moments when it suddenly becomes clear why Ruby works the way it does,  and how you can take advantage of this language's elegance and  expressiveness.

Eloquent Ruby starts  small, answering tactical questions focused on a single statement,  method, test, or bug. You'll learn how to write code that actually looks  like Ruby (not Java or C#); why Ruby has so many control structures;  how to use strings, expressions, and symbols; and what dynamic typing is  really good for.

Next,  the book addresses bigger questions related to building methods and  classes. You'll discover why Ruby classes contain so many tiny methods,  when to use operator overloading, and when to avoid it. Olsen explains  how to write Ruby code that writes its own code–and why you'll want to.  He concludes with powerful project-level features and techniques ranging  from gems to Domain Specific Languages.

A part of the renowned Addison-Wesley Professional Ruby Series, Eloquent Ruby will help you "put on your Ruby-colored glasses" and get results that make you a true believer.

Review
"R>Eloquent Ruby is like programming in Ruby itself: fun,  surprisingly deep, and you'll find yourself wishing it was always done  this way. Wherever you are in your Ruby experience from novice to Rails  developer, this book is a must read."–Ethan Roberts – Owner, Monkey Mind LLC

"Eloquent Ruby lives  up to its name. It's a smooth introduction to Ruby that's both well  organized and enjoyable to read, as it covers all the essential topics  in the right order. This is the book I wish I'd learned Ruby from."
–James Kebinger – Senior Software Engineer, PatientsLikeMe – www.monkeyatlarge.com

"Ruby's  syntactic and logical aesthetics represent the pinnacle for elegance  and beauty in the ALGOL family of programming languages. Eloquent Ruby is the perfect book to highlight this masterful language and Russ's blend of wit and wisdom is certain to entertain and inform."
–Michael Fogus – Contributor to the Clojure programming language and author of The Joy of Clojure

Programming Microsoft ASP.NET 4 - PDF

Book Description
Get the definitive guide to programming with ASP.NET 4 technologies. Led by Web development expert Dino Esposito, you'll gain the essential architectural insights combined with in-depth technical reference that can take you—and your solutions—to the next level.

Completely reengineered for ASP.NET 4—this definitive guide  deftly illuminates the core architecture and programming features of  ASP.NET 4 in a single, pragmatic volume. Web development expert Dino  Esposito provides essential, architectural-level guidance, along with  the in-depth technical insights designed to take you—and your  solutions—to the next level. The book covers Dynamic Data, AJAX,  Microsoft Silverlight®, ASP.NET MVC, Web forms, LINQ, and security  strategies—and features extensive code samples in Microsoft Visual C#®  2010.

Who Should Read This Book?
This is not a book for novice developers and doesn't provide a step-by-step guide on how to design and code Web pages. So the book is not appropriate if you have only a faint idea about ASP.NET and expect the book to get you started with it quickly and effectively. Once you have grabbed hold of ASP.NET basic tasks and features and need to consolidate them, you enter the realm of this book.

You won't find screen shots here illustrating Microsoft Visual Studio wizards, nor any mention of options to select or unselect to get a certain behavior from your code. Of course, this doesn't mean that I hate Visual Studio or that I'm not recommending Visual Studio for developing ASP.NET applications. Visual Studio is a great tool to use to write ASP.NET applications but, judged from an ASP.NET perspective, it is only a tool. This book, instead, is all about the ASP.NET core technology.

I do recommend this book to developers who have knowledge of the basic steps required to build simple ASP.NET pages and easily manage the fundamentals of Web development. This book is not a collection of recipes for cooking good (or just functional) ASP.NET code. This book begins where recipes end. It explains to you the how-it-works, what-you-can-do, and why-you-should-or-should-not aspects of ASP.NET. Beginners need not apply, even though this book is a useful and persistent reference to keep on the desk.

IP Address Management Principles and Practice - pdf

Book Description
This book will be the first covering the subject of IP address  management (IPAM). The practice of IPAM includes the application of  network management disciplines to IP address space and associated  network services, namely DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) and  DNS (Domain Name System). The consequence of inaccurately configuring  DHCP is that end users may not be able to obtain IP addresses to access  the network. Without proper DNS configuration, usability of the network  will greatly suffer as the name-to-address lookup process may fail.  Imagine having to navigate to a website or send an email or an instant  message by IP address instead of by name! It's equally important that  these DHCP and DNS configurations be based on a common IP address plan,  which maps out the IP address hierarchy, subnets, address pools, and  domains.IPAM applies management disciplines to these core  services, including configuration, change control, auditing, reporting  and so on, and they are necessary given the absolute requirement for  properly managing IP space and DHCP and DNS servers. The linkages among  an IP address plan, DHCP server configuration and DNS server  configuration are inseparable; a change of an IP address will affect DNS  information and perhaps DHCP as well. These functions provide the  foundation for today's converged services IP networks, so they need to  be managed using a rigorous approach.

Today, there is no single book that covers the management of these linkages and services they provide; IP Address Management Principles and Practice will fill that gap. While several books are available for leading  vendors' DHCP and DNS services implementations, few exist for IP address  planning, and none exist that unifies these three topics.

Perl 5 is a popular, powerful, and robust programming language.  With  countless satisfied developers, tens of thousands of freely available  libraries, and continual improvements to the language and its ecosystem,  modern Perl development can be easy, reliable, and fun.  To take  advantage of the full power of Perl 5–to become a true expert, capable  of solving any problem put before you–you must understand the language.     Modern Perl explains Perl 5 from theory to implementation, including  Perl 5.12.

Perl 1.0 came out in 1987.  In the decades since then, The language has gone from a simple tool for system administration somewhere between shell scripting and C programming (Perl 1) to a powerful, general purpose language steeped in a rich heritage (Perl 5) and a consistent, coherent, rethinking of programming intended to last for at least another 25 years (Perl 6).

Even so, most Perl 5 programs in the world take far too little advantage of the language.  You can write Perl 5 programs as if they were Perl 4 programs (or Perl 3 or 2 or 1), but programs written to take advantage of everything amazing the worldwide Perl 5 community has invented, polished, and discovered are shorter, faster, more powerful, and easier to maintain than their alternatives.

Modern Perl is one way to describe how experienced and effective Perl 5 programmers work.  They use language idioms.  They take advantage of the CPAN.  They're recognizably Perlish, and they show good taste and craftsmanship and a full understanding of Perl.

You can learn this too, whether you've dabbled with Perl for a decade or someone just handed you this book and said "Fix this code by Friday."
