 It is not enough for Web application developers to be proficient in just one platform. As platforms grow and evolve, and as new ones arise, developers must be able to transfer their proficiency across platforms in order to build complex Web applications effectively. This book helps developers understand the underlying core technologies so that they can learn new APIs and application frameworks more quickly. Web Application Architecture provides an in-depth examination of the basic concepts and general principles associated with Web application development, using examples that illustrate specific technologies. This conceptual knowledge is critical when building and deploying complex systems that are scaleable, extensible, maintainable and reusable. The book explains the underlying protocols and languages that support Web application development, and delineates the best practices associated with building robust applications. It describes mechanisms for providing Web access to heterogeneous data sources including relational databases and multimedia. The new edition includes brand new and fully updated chapters on: *Internet protocols - from TCP/IP to HTTP and beyond *software components - servers, browsers, proxies and agents *the dynamic web - how web applications present dynamic data *markup languages – HTML, XML and CSS *tools, libraries and frameworks - AJAX, Struts, and Ruby on Rails *search technologies – underlying principles, application design, and SEO *future directions and emerging technologies – XML Query, RDF, and the Semantic Web Ideally suited for course usage and self-study, this practical, engaging textbook is essential reading for students, programmers and system architects and designers alike. It provides a comprehensive, timely overview of modern web technology.

 Applied Naval Architecture is intended for undergraduate students of many of the disciplines in maritime affairs, including marine engineering, marine transportation, nautical science, shipbuilding or ship production (shipyard apprentice schools), marine electrical engineering, meteorology, and oceanography. It could be used as an introduction to naval architecture for technical personnel of all types already employed in shipyards, and for licensed officers as a general reference and as preparation for license upgrading examinations. In short, its purpose is to describe, in some detail, what a naval architect does, and how he or she does it, to all students and practitioners involved in the business of merchant ships and shipping, except for professional naval architects themselves. That is not to say that students preparing for a degree in naval architecture would not find the book useful as an introduction to their profession, but it is not intended to be a comprehensive treatment of advanced naval architectural theory or design. Although it covers many of the topics included in standard textbooks on stability and trim and ship construction and operation, it does so from the point of view of the naval architect rather than the ship's officer. Theoretical derivations of physical laws and engineering principles are emphasized and while many practical problems are presented and solved, the solutions refer to the basic underlying principles rather than to the use of typical calculation aids and forms used only by ships' officers. As a result the book should appeal to a broader audience -- engineers as well as deck officers, for example. In breadth and depth of coverage it is roughlycomparable to Gillmer and Johnson's Introduction to Naval Architecture, but merchant, rather than naval, ship practice and problems are emphasized.

 “This is an excellent textbook and useful for school leaders. It addresses the current needs and includes problem solving techniques effectively.” —Margaret R. Dolan, University of Missouri, St. Louis “Excellent! I see a prospective or new principal benefiting greatly from the reading and use of this text.” —Paulette P. Harris, Augusta State University “This is overall an excellent resource — a much needed tool to place in the hands of educators and practitioners alike, to assist in the teaching and conducting of educational facilities planning, design, construction, and management.” —David R. Streifling, Adventist International Institute of Advanced Studies “This is an excellent book.” —Flora Ida Ortiz, University of California, Riverside This book includes a thorough conceptual framework, with descriptions and 'how to' applications of educational facilities’ planning, design, and research. Each chapter provides a special 'reality-based' contribution to the educational facilities planning and design process. Ideas are conveyed through comprehensive descriptions, illustrations, summaries, and extended activities developed to increase understanding and emphasize the relevance of school planning and design in a regulated, political climate. The reader is guided to visualize a broader context for educational planning and design, where design principles are categorized according to building organization, educational level, shared school and community resources, and site design and outdoor spaces. Features: A model for developing educational learning environments, framed by highlights of the educational facility planning and design process, provides a conceptual framework that integrates multiple perspectives (Ch.3). Planning and programming design activities are linked to school construction and related capital outlay activities to illustrate the importance of collaboration between the educational organization and community (Chs. 5, 6, & 7). Strong leadership on legal and financial issues in developing educational facilities is discussed as an essential element of school success (Chs. 10 & 11). Applications of the various tools for school planning are emphasized in Part VIII. Determining space needs, and conducting a student population analysis in a spreadsheet format, and a 10-step model for strategic planning are highlighted (Chs. 16, 17, & 18).
