Download Rapidshare Book Designing for Networked Communications

“Designing for Networked Communications: Strategies and Development explains how to plan, use, and understand the products and the dynamic social processes and tasks some of the most vital innovations in the knowledge society depend upon social as well as technological. Focusing on various forms of design, implementation and integration of computer mediated communication, this book bridges the academic fields of computer science and communication studies. Designing for Networked Communications: Strategies and Development uses an interdisciplinary approach, and presents results from recent and important research in a variety of forms for networked communications. A constructive and critical view of the interplay between the new electronic and the more conventional modes of communication are utilized, while studies of organizational work practices demonstrate that the use of new technologies and media is best understood and integrated into work practices. In this process of merging, both are remodelled and rearranged while being adapted to the practices and activities for which they were designed.”

Download Rapidshare Book Windows Communication Foundation Unleashed

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is a new Microsoft technology for allowing software to communicate. Superseding earlier technologies, such as COM/DCOM, .NET Remoting, ASP.NET Web Services, and the Web Services Enhancements for .NET, WCF provides a single solution that is designed to always be the best way to exchange data among software entities. It also provides the infrastructure for developing the next generation of Web services, with support for the WS-* family of specifications, and a new serialization system for enhanced performance. For information technology professionals, WCF supplies an impressive array of administration tools that enterprises and software vendors can use to reduce the cost of ownership of their solutions without writing a single line of code. Most important, WCF finally delivers on the long-postponed promise of model-driven software development with the new software factory approach, by which one can iteratively design solutions in a modeling language and generate executables from lower-level class libraries.

Windows Communication Foundation Unleashed is designed to be the best resource for and architects working with WCF. The book guides readers toward a conceptual understanding of all the facilities of WCF and provides step-by-step guides to applying the technology to practical problems.

Introduces you to WCF and then takes you deep inside the technology
Gives you nearly 100 best practices for programming with WCF
Provides detailed coverage on how to version services that you will not find anywhere else
Delves into using WCF together with Windows Workflow Foundation and Windows CardSpace
Provides detailed coverage of the new high-performance data contract serializer for .NET
Walks you through how to do secure, reliable, transacted messaging, and how to understand the options available
Introduces you to federated, claims-based security, and shows you how to incorporate SAML and WS-Trust security token services into your architecture
Provides step-by-step instructions for how to customize every aspect of WCF
Shows you how to add your own behaviors, communication channels, message encoders, and transports
Gives you options for implementing publish/subscribe solutions
Walks you through how to do peer-to-peer communications with WCF

As evangelists at Microsoft for WCF, Craig McMurtry, Marc Mercuri, Nigel Watling, and Matt Winkler are uniquely positioned to write this book. They had access to the product as it was being built and to the development team itself. Their work with enterprises and outside software vendors has given them insight into how others see the software, how they want to apply it, and the challenges they face in doing so.

Download Rapidshare Book Introduction to Mobile Communications

The traditionally separate Fixed, Mobile, and Internet sectors are now converging into a single sector with implications for both technology and business. With so much happening, and so many options available, it is increasingly essential for telecommunication professionals to have a clear view of where the industry is heading. This book provides a solid foundation on which to develop a modern view of telecommunications. It explores the core requirements of telecommunications, from markets to technology, primarily from the mobile standpoint. It examines how mobile communications is evolving to meet the changing needs of the customer, and how technology is changing to meet those needs. http://rapidshare.com/files/39404826/Auerbach.Introduction.to.Mobile.Communications.Apr.2

Download Perspectives on Multimedia

The uses of multimedia are rapidly increasing. Its power to present information in ways not previously possible and its integration of resources, allow for the creation of rich learning environments. Perspectives on Multimedia: Communication, Media and Information Technology provides a critical examination of the latest multimedia developments and approaches, such as Interface Technology and QoS architectures.

Topics covered include:
The key concepts intrinsic to digital forms of multimedia: integration, interactivity, hypermedia, immersion, narrativity and hybridity.
The development of Information Technology (IT) usage in society and in the business community.
How modern IT enables private companies and public organisations to support business operations, create new business opportunities, and to promote more proactive service management.
Multimedia from a computer science perspective and how computer science provides the technical foundation for the computer software and hardware that drives the information age.

Gives a broad range of perspectives on key issues for interactive multimedia in organisations and industry today. This book will be of interest to practitioners involved in multimedia development in an organisation, management consultants giving professional advice on digital solutions and information technology matters to their customer organisations and academics focusing on business and technical aspects of multimedia frameworks.

Download Rapidshare Book Graphically Speaking

It’s all too often that designers leave a meeting with clients feeling as if they’ve been speaking an entirely different language. Graphically Speaking solves such communication problems by breaking down client-designer dialogue into something both parties can understand. It visually “defines” more than 30 of the most common words that clients use to describe what they want in a design. Vague, possibly confusing terms–words like “elegant” or “powerful” or “warm”–are made specific as they relate to actual design style.

Entries provide visual reference materials including color combinations, fonts and final designs, so that terms are defined both literally and visually. Because of the structure of the book, it’s really three “must-have” books in one–a client communication guide, a designer reference and an inspiring collection of top design projects.
