Both Java and .NET use the idea of a "virtual machine," or VM. And while VMs are useful for some purposes, they undermine the security of your source code, because creation can be reversed, or decompiled. Which makes this one-of-a-kind book extremely useful: you must understand decompilation, to properly protect your intellectual property.

SQL Server 2000 is the leading relational database in the Windows market. The increased manageability of SQL Server 2000 has also increased its popularity--anyone, not just database administrators, can use a SQL Server database.

This book recognizes that aspiring database administrators need more than just a basic knowledge of the available features in order to be considered "a safe pair of hands" for the database and the mission-critical data that is stored in it. Aspiring database administrators can benefit from the direction and advice of an expert mentor who not only understands...

While Apple provides a modicum of documentation for developers just starting with WebObjects, more-skilled WebObjects developers typically learn from each other or via trial and error.

Written by two expert WebObjects developers, Charles Hill and Sacha Mallais, this book features working, world-tested solutions for difficult problems. Endorsed by Global Village, "Practical WebObjects" includes many topics not covered anywhere else, including localization,...

Nearly every non-trivial application requires data persistence, and for an application of any significant size and scope, persistence is typically achieved using a database. If you're building or maintaining any significant application and are using MySQL, this book is for you. For open source and other types of projects, the MySQL database is a very popular choice: it's free, fast, robust, and scalable, and it runs on all of the major platforms, allowing maximum use of available hardware resources. But it's easy to disregard MySQL's speed and other advantages if your database design is...

Announcing a new book from Apress and the OakTable Network:

Oracle Insights: Tales of the Oak Table presents 11 world-renowned industry specialists proffering their own highly experienced views, input, and insights on Oracle--where it's been, where it's going, how (and how not) to use it successfully, the software and techniques that theyve introduced to help people achieve their goals, and some frightening tales of what can happen when fundamental design principles are ignored.

The collaborating authors have solved many of the worst Oracle performance problems...

* One of the very few resources that is specific to the Oracle database, rather than being database generic.

* Written by a recognized expert, who has based the book on his extensive experience administering and performance-tuning PeopleSoft systems.

*Explains Oracle programming using both C# and VB.NET languages; provides a one-stop reference for VS.NET developers working with Oracle.

*Excellent resource for J2EE programmers in environments considering moving to a .NET environment (and retaining the Oracle database).
