Accessibility is about making websites accessible to those with aural, visual, or physical disabilities, or rather, constructing websites that don't exclude these people from accessing the content or services...
Embedding multimedia capabilities in aMIDlet is the next step in the evolution of MIDlets. Sun recognized early that audio and video are the future and introduced the Mobile Media API (MMAPI) via Java Specification Requests (JSR) 135 (http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=135).

It is with great satisfaction that I introduce you to Stephen’s excellent new book, Pro Visual C++/CLI and the .NET 2.0 Platform, the first detailed treatment of what has been standardized under ECMA as C++/CLI. Of course, any text, no matter how excellent, is itself incomplete, like a three-walled room.

Languages like C#, VB .NET, and Delphi include built-in support for events, and these events become very powerful when they connect the objects and components of a system. Events make it possible for such parts to interact without any coupling. And the resulting parts can be developed and tested individually--which keeps the code clean and...
The Oracle E-Business Suite is like a machine that requires constant maintenance and fine-tuning. With experience comes the knowledge of how to tweak the parts and use the tools to make it run properly. Even for the experienced administrator, Oracle Applications is complicated to administer—let’s be honest, at times...
The Java Persistence API has been a long time in coming, some might even say overdue. The arrival of an enterprise Java persistence standard based on a “POJO” development model fills a gap in the platform that has needed to be filled for a long time. The previous attempt missed the mark and advocated EJB entity beans that...
Expert .NET 2.0 IL Assember drills down into the internal structures and operations of the .NET common language runtime and teaches you how to master the IL assembly language, ILAsm. (The rule of thumb is that if the runtime can do it, ILAsm must be able to express it.) This book is ideal if you're a compiler and tool developer, a...
Ajax is fast becoming the buzzword in web development for 2006. It’s also becoming a de facto standard for developing user-centric web applications.
