SOA Security in Action (Paperback)

SOA is one of the latest technologies enterprises are using to tame
their software costs - in development, deployment, and management. SOA
makes integration easy, helping enterprises not only better utilize
their existing investments in applications and infrastructure, but also
open up new business opportunities. However, one of the big stumbling
blocks in executing SOA is security. This book addresses Security in SOA
with detailed examples illustrating the theory, industry standards and
best practices. It is true that security is important in any system. SOA
brings in additional security concerns as well rising out of the very
openness that makes it attractive. If we apply security principles
blindly, we shut ourselves of the benefits of SOA. Therefore, we need to
understand which security models and techniques are right for SOA. This
book provides such an understanding. Usually, security is seen as an
esoteric topic that is better left to experts. While it is true that
security requires expert attention, everybody, including software
developers, designers, architects, IT administrators and managers need
to do tasks that require very good understanding of security topics.
Fortunately, traditional security techniques have been around long
enough for people to understand and apply them in practice. This,
however, is not the case with SOA Security. Anyone seeking to implement
SOA Security is today forced to dig through a maze of inter-dependent
specifications and API docs that assume a lot of prior experience on the
part of readers. Getting started on a project is hence proving to be a
huge challenge to practitioners. This book seeks to change that. It
provides bottom-up understanding of security techniques appropriate for
use in SOA without assuming any prior familiarity with security topics
on the part of the reader. Unlike most other books about SOA that merely
describe the standards, this book helps you get started immediately by
walking you through sample code that illustrates how real life problems
can be solved using the techniques and best practices described in
standards. Whereas standards discuss all possible variations of each
security technique, this book focusses on the 20% of variations that are
used 80% of the time. This keeps the material covered in the book simple
as well as self-sufficient for all readers except the most advanced.

Google Web Toolkit Solutions: More Cool & Useful Stuff (Paperback)

Cutting-Edge GWT: Advanced Recipes for Java Developers

Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is an open source Java development framework
for building Ajax-enabled web applications. Instead of the hodgepodge of
technologies that developers typically use for Ajax-JavaScript, HTML,
CSS, and XMLHttpRequest-GWT lets developers implement rich client
applications with pure Java, using familiar idioms from the AWT, Swing,
and SWT. GWT goes beyond most Ajax frameworks by making it easy to build
desktop-like applications that run in the ubiquitous browser, where the
richness of the user interface is limited only by the developer's
imagination.

This book focuses on the more advanced aspects of GWT that you need to
implement real-world applications with rich user interfaces but without
the heavy lifting of JavaScript and other Ajax-related technologies.
Each solution in this practical, hands-on book is more than a recipe.
The sample programs are carefully explained in detail to help you
quickly master advanced GWT techniques, such as implementing
drag-and-drop, integrating JavaScript libraries, and using advanced
event handling methodologies.

Solutions covered include:

- Building custom GWT widgets, including both high-level composites
and low-level components
- Implementing a viewport class that includes iPhone-style automated
scrolling
- Integrating web services with GWT applications
- Incorporating the Script.aculo.us JavaScript framework into GWT
applications
- Combining Hibernate and GWT to implement database-backed web
applications
- Extending the GWT PopupPanel class to implement a draggable and
resizable window
- Creating a drag-and-drop module, complete with drag sources and drop
targets
- Deploying GWT applications to an external server
- Dynamically resizing flex tables
- Using GWT widgets in legacy applications developed with other
frameworks, such as Struts and JavaServer Faces

Complete Sample Code Available at www.coolandusefulgwt.com

All of the code used in this book has been tested, both in hosted and
web modes, and in an external version of Tomcat (version 5.5.17), under
Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. For Windows and Linux, we used 1.4.60, and

Open Source Fuzzing Tools (Paperback)

A "fuzzer" is a program that attempts to discover security
vulnerabilities by sending random data to an application. If that
application crashes, then it has deffects to correct. Security
professionals and web developers can use fuzzing for software
testing--checking their own programs for problems--before hackers do it!

Open Source Fuzzing Tools is the first book to market that covers the
subject of black box testing using fuzzing techniques. Fuzzing has been
around fow a while, but is making a transition from hacker home-grown
tool to commercial-grade quality assurance product. Using fuzzing,
developers can find and eliminate buffer overflows and other software
vulnerabilities during the development process and before release.

* Fuzzing is a fast-growing field with increasing commercial interest (7
vendors unveiled fuzzing products last year).
* Vendors today are looking for solutions to the ever increasing threat
of vulnerabilities. Fuzzing looks for these vulnerabilities
automatically, before they are known, and eliminates them before
release.
* Software developers face an incresing demand to produce secure
applications---and they are looking for any information to help them do
that.

completely understanding the material and code presented in this book.
This book contains information that is useful to consultants who perform
incident response and computer forensics, specifically as those
activities pertain to MS Windows systems (Windows 2000, XP, 2003, and
some Vista). My hope is that not only will consultants (such as myself)
find this material valuable, but so will system administrators, law
enforcement officers, and students in undergraduate and graduate
programs focusing on computer forensics.

* Perl is the third most commonly used programming language in the world
* Helps security professionals in updating settings on a remote server
several cities away, collecting data for a report to management, and
more
* The companion Web site for the book contains dozens of scripts the

Design Patterns in Ruby (Addison-Wesley Professional Ruby Series)

Praise for Design Patterns in Ruby

"Design Patterns in Ruby documents smart ways to resolve many problems
that Ruby developers commonly encounter. Russ Olsen has done a great job
of selecting classic patterns and augmenting these with newer patterns
that have special relevance for Ruby. He clearly explains each idea,
making a wealth of experience available to Ruby developers for their own
daily work."

—Steve Metsker, Managing Consultant with Dominion Digital, Inc.

"This book provides a great demonstration of the key 'Gang of Four'
design patterns without resorting to overly technical explanations.
Written in a precise, yet almost informal style, this book covers enough
ground that even those without prior exposure to design patterns will
soon feel confident applying them using Ruby. Olsen has done a great job
to make a book about a classically 'dry' subject into such an engaging
and even occasionally humorous read."

—Peter Cooper

"This book renewed my interest in understanding patterns after a decade
of good intentions. Russ picked the most useful patterns for Ruby and
introduced them in a straightforward and logical manner, going beyond
the GoF's patterns. This book has improved my use of Ruby, and
encouraged me to blow off the dust covering the GoF book."

—Mike Stok

"Design Patterns in Ruby is a great way for programmers from statically
typed objectoriented languages to learn how design patterns appear in a
more dynamic, flexible language like Ruby."

—Rob Sanheim, Ruby Ninja, Relevance Most design pattern books are based
on C++ and Java. But Ruby is different—and the language's unique
qualities make design patterns easier to implement and use. In this
book, Russ Olsen demonstrates how to combine Ruby's power and elegance
with patterns, and write more sophisticated, effective software with far
fewer lines of code. After reviewing the history, concepts, and goals of
design patterns, Olsen offers a quick tour of the Ruby language—enough
to allow any experienced software developer to immediately utilize
patterns with Ruby. The book especially calls attention to Ruby features
that simplify the use of patterns, including dynamic typing, code
closures, and "mixins" for easier code reuse. Fourteen of the classic
"Gang of Four" patterns are considered from the Ruby point of view,
explaining what problems each pattern solves, discussing whether
traditional implementations make sense in the Ruby environment, and
introducing Ruby-specific improvements. You'll discover opportunities to
implement patterns in just one or two lines of code, instead of the
endlessly repeated boilerplate that conventional languages often
require. Design Patterns in Ruby also identifies innovative new patterns
that have emerged from the Ruby community. These include ways to create
custom objects with metaprogramming, as well as the ambitious
Rails-based "Convention Over Configuration" pattern, designed to help
integrate entire applications and frameworks. Engaging, practical, and
accessible, Design Patterns in Ruby will help you build better software
while making your Ruby programming experience more rewarding.

Implementation Patterns (Addison-Wesley Signature) (Paperback)

"Kent is a master at creating code that communicates well, is easy to
understand, and is a pleasure to read. Every chapter of this book
contains excellent explanations and insights into the smaller but
important decisions we continuously have to make when creating quality
code and classes."

-Erich Gamma, IBM Distinguished Engineer

"Many teams have a master developer who makes a rapid stream of good
decisions all day long. Their code is easy to understand, quick to
modify, and feels safe and comfortable to work with. If you ask how they
thought to write something the way they did, they always have a good
reason. This book will help you become the master developer on your
team. The breadth and depth of topics will engage veteran programmers,
who will pick up new tricks and improve on old habits, while the clarity
makes it accessible to even novice developers.
"
-Russ Rufer, Silicon Valley Patterns Group

"Many people don't realize how readable code can be and how valuable
that readability is. Kent has taught me so much, I'm glad this book
gives everyone the chance to learn from him."

-Martin Fowler, chief scientist, ThoughtWorks

"Code should be worth reading, not just by the compiler, but by humans.
Kent Beck distilled his experience into a cohesive collection of
implementation patterns. These nuggets of advice will make your code
truly worth reading."

-Gregor Hohpe, author of Enterprise Integration Patterns

"In this book Kent Beck shows how writing clear and readable code
follows from the application of simple principles. Implementation
Patterns will help developers write intention revealing code that is
both easy to understand and flexible towards future extensions. A must
read for developers who are serious about their code."

-Sven Gorts

"Implementation Patterns bridges the gap between design and coding. Beck
introduces a new way of thinking about programming by basing his
discussion on values and principles."

-Diomidis Spinellis, author of Code Reading and Code Quality

Software Expert Kent Beck Presents a Catalog of Patterns Infinitely
Useful for Everyday Programming

Great code doesn't just function: it clearly and consistently
communicates your intentions, allowing other programmers to understand
your code, rely on it, and modify it with confidence. But great code
doesn't just happen. It is the outcome of hundreds of small but critical
decisions programmers make every single day. Now, legendary software
innovator Kent Beck-known worldwide for creating Extreme Programming and
pioneering software patterns and test-driven development-focuses on
these critical decisions, unearthing powerful "implementation patterns"
for writing programs that are simpler, clearer, better organized, and
more cost effective.

Beck collects 77 patterns for handling everyday programming tasks and
writing more readable code. This new collection of patterns addresses
many aspects of development, including class, state, behavior, method,
collections, frameworks, and more. He uses diagrams, stories, examples,
and essays to engage the reader as he illuminates the patterns. You'll
find proven solutions for handling everything from naming variables to
checking exceptions.

This book covers:

- The value of communicating through code and the philosophy behind
patterns
- How and when to create classes, and how classes encode logic
- Best practices for storing and retrieving state
- Behavior: patterns for representing logic, including alternative
paths
- Writing, naming, and decomposing methods
- Choosing and using collections
- Implementation pattern variations for use in building frameworks
Implementation Patterns will help programmers at all experience levels,
especially those who have benefited from software patterns or agile
methods. It will also be an indispensable resource for development teams
seeking to work together more efficiently and build more maintainable
software. No other programming book will touch your day-to-day work more
often.
