Ergodic Theory: with a view towards Number Theory (Graduate Texts in Mathematics Vol.259, 2010)


Manfred Einsiedler, Thomas Ward, "Ergodic Theory: with a view towards Number Theory"
Springer | 2010 | ISBN: 0857290207 | 467 pages | PDF | 3,7 MB

AspectJ in Action, Second Edition Enterprise AOP with Spring Applications (Manning Publications)


Aspectj in Action: Enterprise AOP with Spring Applications By Ramnivas Laddad, Rod Johnson
Publisher: Manning Publications 2010 | 568 Pages | ISBN: 1933988053 | PDF | 13 MB

To allow the creation of truly modular software, OOP has evolved into aspect-oriented programming. AspectJ is a mature AOP implementation for Java, now integrated with Spring.
AspectJ in Action, Second Edition is a fully updated, major revision of Ramnivas Laddad's best-selling first edition. It's a hands-on guide for Java developers. After introducing the core principles of AOP, it shows you how to create reusable solutions using AspectJ 6 and Spring 3. You'll master key features including annotation-based syntax, load-time weaver, annotation-based crosscutting, and Spring-AspectJ integration. Building on familiar technologies such as JDBC, Hibernate, JPA, Spring Security, Spring MVC, and Swing, you'll apply AOP to common problems encountered in enterprise applications.
This book requires no previous experience in AOP and AspectJ, but it assumes you're familiar with OOP, Java, and the basics of Spring.
"Clear, concisely worded, well-organized ... a pleasure to read."

-From the Foreword by Rod Johnson, Creator of the Spring Framework
"This book teaches you how to think in aspects. It is essential reading for both beginners who know nothing about AOP and experts who think they know it all."

Andrew Eisenberg, AspectJ Development Tools Project Committer
"Ramnivas showcases how to get the best out of AspectJ and Spring."

-Andy Clement, AspectJ Project Lead
"One of the best Java books in years."

-Andrew Rhine, Software Engineer, eSecLending
"By far the best reference for Spring AOP and AspectJ."

-Paul Benedict, Software Engineer, Argus Health Systems
"Ramnivas expertly demystifies the awesome power of aspect-oriented programming."

-Craig Walls, author of Spring in Action.

AspectJ in Action Practical Aspect-Oriented Programming (Manning Publications)

Aspectj in Action: Enterprise AOP with Spring Applications By Ramnivas Laddad, Rod Johnson
Publisher: Manning Publications 2003 | 512 Pages | ISBN: 1930110936  | PDF | 4.36 MB
A software system is the realization of a set of concerns. One of the central premises of object-oriented programming is that each concern should be implemented as a separate module. However, there are certain system-wide concerns, such as logging, security, performance, and so forth, that often need to be addressed in many, if not all of the modules. Consequently, the code to handle these system-wide concerns may be mixed in with the core logic of a huge number of modules, resulting in lower productivity, poor quality, and systems that are hard to evolve.

Algorithms of the Intelligent Web (Manning Publications)

 

Algorithms of the Intelligent Web, by   Haralambos Marmanis and Dmitry Babenko
Manning Publications | May, 2009 | ISBN: 1933988665 | 368 pages | 5.53 MB

 
Web 2.0 applications are best known for providing a rich user experience, but the parts you can't see are just as important—and impressive. Many Web 2.0 applications use powerful techniques to process information intelligently and offer features based on patterns and relationships in the data that couldn't be discovered manually. Successful examples of these Algorithms of the Intelligent Web include household names like Google Ad Sense, Netflix, and Amazon. These applications use the internet as a platform that not only gathers data at an ever-increasing pace but also systematically transforms the raw data into actionable information.
Algorithms of the Intelligent Web is an example-driven blueprint for creating applications that collect, analyze, and act on the massive quantities of data users leave in their wake as they use the web. You'll learn how to build Amazon- and Netflix-style recommendation engines, and how the same techniques apply to people matches on social-networking sites. See how click-trace analysis can result in smarter ad rotations. With a plethora of examples and extensive detail, this book shows you how to build Web 2.0 applications that are as smart as your users.
