About this product: Have you ever wanted to learn text messaging lingo so you could decipher what your kids were text messaging to each other or have you ever wanted to become an expert in text messaging so you could send someone a quick message? Either way, this book is for you. This book will demystify the art of text messaging.
AYTMTB, because I care. IMHO, this book will be for the young and old alike. Cell phones and messaging shorthand is a thing of the future that everyone will be able to use. Need to send a short message to someone, but don’t want to interrupt him or her at work or school? Send them a text message from your cell phone.
AYTMTB= And you're telling me this because IMHO= In my humble opinion BTW= By the way
What would you do if you received a text message that read: LTNS, PCML8r! H&K. How would you answer back or could you? Text messages are generally limited to 160 characters so people started devising quick and efficient ways to send messages. Voila, text messaging shorthand. BTW, the message above reads; Long time no see, please call me later! Hugs and kisses. We hope you enjoy learning text messaging as much as we enjoyed writing this book.
About this product: "First, get your cell phone & open it." Just about any electronically challenged reader can keep up with these simple instructions. E-Z TEXT MESSAGING leads us gently through the skills of communicating in writing on our cell phones. You don't have to be a grandparent to appreciate this little book. I text my kids every day, but I still learned a lot from Valli Marti's step-by-step intro to the hidden wonders of the cell phone's keypad, her lessons on the coded language of texting, and her links to more information. Serve en español, también. Extra benefit: large type! I'm keeping it in mind for Mothers Day, Fathers Day, and Christmas stocking stuffers.
About this product: "Other books claim to present the complete Web services platform architecture, but this is the first one I've seen that really does. The authors have been intimately involved in the creation of the architecture. Who better to write this book?" --Anne Thomas Manes, Vice President and Research Director, Burton Group "This is a very important book, providing a lot of technical detail and background that very few (if any) other books will be able to provide. The list of authors includes some of the top experts in the various specifications covered, and they have done an excellent job explaining the background motivation for and pertinent details of each specification. The benefit of their perspectives and collective expertise alone make the book worth reading." --Eric Newcomer, CTO, IONA Technologies "Most Web services books barely cover the basics, but this book informs practitioners of the "real-world" Web services aspects that they need to know to build real applications. The authors are well-known technical leaders in the Web services community and they helped write the Web services specifications covered in this book.Anyone who wants to do serious Web services development should read this book. " --Steve Vinoski, Chief Engineer, Product Innovation, IONA Technologies "There aren't many books that are as ambitious as this one is. The most notable distinguishing factor of this book is that the authors have tried to pair down the specifications for the user and rather than focusing on competing specifications, they focus on complementary ones. Nearly every chapter provides a business justification and need for each feature discussed in the Web services stack. I would recommend this book to developers, integrators, and architects." --Daniel Edgar, Systems Architect, Portland General Electric "Rarely does a project arrive with such a list of qualified and talented authors. The subject matter is timely and significant to the industry." --Eric Newcomer, author of Understanding SOA with Web Services and Understanding Web Services and Chief Technology officer, IONA The Insider's Guide to Building Breakthrough Services with Today'sNew Web Services Platform Using today's new Web services platform, you can build services that are secure, reliable, efficient at handling transactions, and well suited to your evolving service-oriented architecture. What's more, you can do all that without compromising the simplicity or interoperability that made Web services so attractive. Now, for the first time, the experts who helped define and architect this platform show you exactly how to make the most of it.

About this product: LEARN TO USE JAVA MESSAGING SOFTWARE IN YOUR DISTRIBUTED APPLICATIONS!
As software becomes more complex, and the Web is leveraged further, the need for messaging software continues to grow. Virtually all software written today requires at least one form of internal, and even external, communication. Java Messaging explores the various methods of intra-process and inter-process messaging for Java software, such as JavaBean events, JMS, JAX-RPC, JAXM, SOAP, and Web Services. Programmers will learn the basics of these APIs, as well as how, when, and why to use each one, including how to use them in combination, such as combining SOAP with JMS over a WAN. The book begins by walking the reader through simple intra-process communication using JavaBean events. A set of classes is constructed that extend JavaBean events beyond one JVM, transparently using JMS. The messaging paradigms of JMS are explained thoroughly, including in-depth discussions on the theory and mechanics of message queues. Design patterns and helper classes are also explored, which ultimately combine to form a generic messaging framework that helps programmers avoid common pitfalls. This framework, explained throughout the book, provides for the seamless integration of JMS with SOAP Web Services that is required to build distributed applications. Starting from the first chapter, a comprehensive sample application (an online stock trading system) is built using the framework and messaging paradigms discussed in the book. By the end of the book, programmers will not only understand the various messaging paradigms, but they will also understand how to architect complex distributed applications that use them together – with a framework that provides a running start.
