Data warehousing is being transformed by the web. Most major companies are upgrading or building new data warehouses to capture customer data from their websites. Ralph Kimball led the charge with his landmark book, The Data Webhouse Toolkit. In that book, Kimball provides a blueprint that covers all of the basic elements of the Webhouse, but he doesn't get into the practical details of how to build one. Developers need these technical details if they are going to put Kimball's blueprint into action. That's what Mark Sweiger and his co-authors provides in this new book. The word 'clickstream' refers to the series of clicks entered by a customer as he or she navigates a Website. A Web-enabled warehouse needs to track each of these clicks to get a meaningful picture of who the customer is and what products and services he or she may want to buy. The authors show how to capture this information in a data warehouse so that it can be used for better customer support and decision-making. 1

Also included are numerousbest practices for the most effective way to accomplish a given task. Beginning with database design theory, this book guides you through developing SQL Server databases, developing data connections, administering SQL Server and keeping your databases performing at their peak with a section on performance tuning and optimization.Coveragefor XML integration, Web services, and learning to work with the CLR are important new sections in this expanded edition. 2
Parallel processing technology in the next generation of Database Management Systems (DBMSs) make it possible to meet challenging new requirements. Database technology is rapidly expanding new application areas brings unique challenges such as increased functionality and efficient handling of very large heterogeneous databases. Abdelguerfi and Wong present the latest techniques in parallel relational databases illustrating high-performance achievements in parallel database systems. The text is st5ructured according to the overall architecture of a parallel database system presenting various techniques that may be adopted to the design of parallel database software and hardware execution environments. These techniques can directly or indirectly lead to high-performance parallel database implementation. The book's main focus follows the authors' engineering model:A survey of parallel query optimization techniques for requests involving multi-way joinsA new technique for a join operation that can be adopted 4
Business managers use information from data warehouses to make critical business decisions; they need to be able to rely on the accuracy of this information. Unfortunately, they often can't. A recent Meta Group/DCI survey of data warehouse managers and developers found that the most significant issue facing them was data quality. But building in and maintaining data quality is no easy task. The main reason: most data warehouses are built on top of older legacy databases that often contain outdated, inaccurate, and inconsistent data. Data warehouse developers need to clean up old data before it gets to the data warehouse, make sure new data is accurate and timely, and get rid of obsolete and unused data. This book provides the solutions data warehouse practitioners are looking for. Written by the leading expert on database and data warehouse quality, this book provides an authoritative and complete guide to the best methods and tools for ensuring business managers get the accurate and timely information they n 5
Ralph Kimball invented a data warehousing technique called "dimensional modeling" and popularized it in his first Wiley book, The Data Warehouse Toolkit. Since this book was first published in 1996, dimensional modeling has become the most widely accepted technique for data warehouse design. Over the past 5 years, Kimball has improved on his earlier techniques and created many new ones. In this second edition, he will provide a comprehensive collection of all of these techniques, from basic to advanced. 14

The book is divided into three parts, each centered around a separate case application. The first shows best methods for building a relatively simple Access application using thedeveloper's own data. The next section shows how to build a distributed application serving multiple clients and types of data. The chapters in this section cover each step in the applicaiton lifecycle--from gathering application requirements from clients to migratingdata from legacy systems to the new Access database system. The last section of the book shows how to build Access applications thatwork with other Office applications, inlcud 17
Industry experts raved about The Data Model Resource Book, because it provides a simple, cost-effective way to design generic databases for business functions like marketing, sales, inventory control, billing, and human resources. This saves companies thousands of dollars they would have to spend creating such data models from scratch.Because these data models are generic, readers must still tailor them to the specific requirements of their own businesses. The Data Model Resource Book Volume 2 shows them how to do this, for industries that include: Financial Services Insurance Retail Health Care Universities Telecom For each industry, the authors identify which generic models from the first book can be used directly "as is" and which need to be further customized. They then show how to customize these models. In addition, the authors present new data models and data warehouse designs serving the unique needs of that industry. In combination with Volume 1, The Data Model Resource Book Volume 2 p 22
Access 2003 VBA Programmer's Reference provides comprehensive coverage of the use of VBA for building Access applications. The typical reader would be expected to have some experience with VBA programming and have read at least an introductory tutorial, such as Beginning Access 2003 VBA.

The authors provides real-world code examples to demonstrate each programming topic, including: Using the Access Object Model Using VBA with ADO VBA Execution and Error Handling Creating Database Objects with VBA Using VBA to Create and Enhance Forms and Reports Using VBA with APIs and Other Office Applications Using VBA with SQL Creating Secure VBA Code Using the Windows Registry Using ADE Tools Introductory chapters provide a very brief overview of VBA and highlight what's new in Access 2003. The companion Website provides updates to the book and links to useful resources. 26
The development of corporate database systems is complex, time-consuming, and expensive, causing developers to look for ways to cut costs. Len Silverston found a way to do this by identifying core data models that most companies share, standardizing them, and making them available to all. This book makes a core set of relational data models available at an affordable price. The CD-ROM, sold separately, provides all of the models in the book in electronic format, allowing companies to immediately begin to customize these models for their own environments. This Volume 1 of a 2-volume set allows both books to sell as an integrated set of powerful template models for data analysis and designers. 33
This book shows developers how to build database applications using the complete range of functions of the latest release of ADO.NET 2.0, scheduled to ship in mid-2005. This release will be designed to work seamlessly with both theVisual Studio 2005 Development Environment and SQL Server 2005. The book will becode-intensive, with lots of sample code along with recommended best practices for using thetechnology. (For example, when someone should use a DataSet instead of a DataReader or a T/Sql Stored Procedure instead ofa CLR Stored Procedure.) The authors will focus on using ADO with the SQL Server database; however, they will also provide coverage of both Oracle and MySQL. 39
A SQL language tutorial for those with little or no prior SQL experience. It will take the reader through the basics of the language, right up to some more advanced topics. It's very much a practical, hands on book and aims to keep the reader involved at all times. The book focuses on the SQL standard, so coverage of various vendors' products is not needed. At the level of a Beginner book, we won't be getting into arcane SQL-dialect differences from vendor to vendor. Like all Wrox Beginning books, it is loaded with detailed examples and code, and each chapter ends with practice exercises the reader can challenge themselves with before looking at the sample solutions appendix to measure their grasp of the topic. 42
The Data WarehouseETL Toolkitshows data warehouse developers how to effectively manage theETL (Extract, Transform, Load) phase of the data warehouse development lifecycle. The authors show developers the best methods for extracting data from scattered sources throughout the enterprise,removing obsolete, redundant, and innaccurate data, transforming the remaining data into correctly formatted data structures, and then physically loading them into the data warehouse. This book provides complete coverage of proven, time-saving ETL techniques. It begins with a quick overview of ETL fundamentals and the role of the ETL development team. It then quickly moves into an overview of the ETL data structures, both relational and dimensional. The authors show how to build useful dimensional stuctures, providing practical examples of beginning through advanced techniques. The authors also show how to manage back-room ETL operations, ensure data quality--a key objective of successful ETL projects--and support 43

Companies have invested in building data warehouses to capture vast amounts of customer information. The payoff comes with "mining" or getting access to the data within this information gold mine to make better business decisions. Readers and reviewers loved Berry and Linoff's first book, Data Mining Techniques, because the authors so clearly illustrate practical techniques with real benefits for improved marketing and sales. Mastering Data Mining takes off from there--assuming readers know the basic techniques covered in the first book, the authors focus on how to best apply these techniques to real business cases. They start with simple applications and work up to the most powerful and sophisticated examples over the course of about 20 cases. (Ralph Kimball used this same approach in his highly successful Data Warehouse Toolkit). As with their first book, Mastering Data Mining is sufficiently technical for database analysts, but is accessible to technically savvy business and marketing managers. It should a 54

The primary audienceis database developers; secondary markets incude database administrators (DBAs) and business analysts. The book begins with an overview of SQL Server query operations and tools used with Transact-SQL. (The authors will cover both the 2000 and 2005 releases of SQL Server query tools and the query editor.) After a quick review of basic query language commands and syntax, the author quickly moves to show how to design and build applications of increasing complexity.He covers such importanttasks as: Full text indexing Optimizing query performance Programming techniques using views and stored procedures Application design and security considerations. The companionwebsite provides all of the code examples from the book, which programmers 56
MDX Solutions is both a tutorial and a reference guide to the MDX query language. It shows data warehouse developers what they need to know to build effective multidimensional data warehouses.

Data warehouses used to be the domain of Fortune 500 businesses because they were so expensive to build and maintain - often in the multi-million dollar range. Hardware costs have dropped so dramatically that it is now possible for a small organization to set up a serious data warehouse or data mart for less than $50,000. Microsoft failed when it first entered this market in the late 1990s because its product didn't provide the kind of capabilities demanded by data warehouse professionals. With Yukon, Microsoft is now completely revamping its database product, SQL Server, and adding a host of new tools that will provide a powerful, full featured data warehouse toolset perfectly suited for smaller organizations. This toolset includes the Microsoft SQL Server Database and its business intelligence tools, including Microsoft Analysis Services. With its release of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 in Q2 of 2005, Microsoft is expected to capture more than 50% of the market for small to mid-sized data warehouses. 100
This book provides an introduction to data mining. Data mining means different things to different people. To computer scientists it means machine learning and algorithm design; to statisticians it means model development; to management information scientists it means data warehousing. The field of data mining lies at the confluence of statistical analysis, machine learning and business intelligence. However, nearly all the books published so far have been restricted solely to a single one of these areas, usually either machine learning or business intelligence. This book will benefit students, instructors, researchers, and managers, by introducing them to all three streams of knowledge that comprise data mining. 103

Programmers, scientists, and engineers are always in need of newer techniques and algorithms to manipulate and interpret images. During the last several years, advances in computer hardware and software have allowed for algorithms that help these people to do relatively sophisticated image processing without an extensive background in mathematics. An example of this kind of image processing is a CAT scan. A machine takes a "picture" of the brain, which is transmitted to a computer as bits of data. The computer then reassembles these bits of data into a true image of the brain. These techinques are also being used by animators to bring characters to life in movies and games. 33

Virus Defense For Dummies fills a void. There are no virus protection books available that address the end user. Most books currently available speak only to the IT professional. End users need information on how to harden their own PCs and home networks. This book explains what viruses are, how they work, what the major anti-virus software packages are and how to install them and secure and install updates. It will also instruct them in safer computing habits. 40
Although not well known, Microsoft Windows has the best security of any popular operating system in the world today. What Windows has is poor default security. There are specific steps any professional can take to significantly increase the security of Microsoft Windows. Unfortunately, most books and the news media keep reinforcing the failed, traditional recommendations of firewalls, antivirus scanners, and end user education. Those defenses have failed and will always fail. The reason why the traditional advice fails is that most defenses and courses concentrate on defending PCsagainst the motivated hacker, when 99% of the attacks (and 100% of the popular attacks) are caused by malicious viruses, worms, and trojans. Defending against these mobile threats calls for specific tasks that when implemented, defeat most threats, no matter the brand of firewall or virus scanner youve purchased. Better, yet, most of the good defenses are free, included with Windows (just not implemented correctly). Based on this pr 41
This book describes how to fit information security into the long-term business vision for an enterprise, by incorporating information security into a general enterprise strategic planning framework, and by defining information security as best practice management of information assets (data and systems for managing data). 55
The book can best be described as a handbook and guide for conducting computer investigations in a corporate setting, with a focus on the most prevalent operating system (Windows). The book is supplemented with sidebar/callout topics of current interest with greater depth, and actual case studies. The organization is broken into 3 sections as follows (all page counts reflect single spacing and include screenshots): SECTION 1 COMPUTER FORENSIC BASICS The first section is a brief on the emerging field of computer forensics, what it takes to become a forensic analyst, and the basics for whats needed in a corporate forensics setting. SECTION 2 WINDOWS BASICS FOR THE FORENSIC EXAMINER The Windows operating system family is comprised of several complex pieces of software. This section focuses specifically on the makeup of Windows from a forensic perspective, and details those components which will be analyzed in later chapters. SECTION 3- WINDOWS FORENSICS Leveraging the contents of sections 1 and 2, thi 55
Computer forensics is a broad field that encompasses such disciplines as network intrusion detection; computer media analysis for criminal, fraud, and counterintelligence investigations; evidence seizure and crime scene analysis; high-level system security design and maintenance; and more. Recent technological developments have catapulted computer forensics outside the realm of Cold War spy movies into the world of modern corporate crime and counterterrorism investigations. In addition, the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act has compelled companies to expand their internal controls efforts. As a result, computer forensics is the fastest growing segment in both the IT and law enforcement industries. 61
Each chapter features one principal crime story. Based on extensive interviews, the authors tells a series of stories that capture the personality, value system, and family history of the criminals and hackers, which they interweave with the narrative of watching the criminals at work, practicing their deceptions on the innocent and the unwary corporations. For each story that involves criminal acts by a person who has not been caught and prosecuted, the authors go to great lengths to make the persons identity absolutely unknown and untraceable. Given the sensitive nature of the crimes that are described, it is almost a certainty that the FBI, Secret Service, and other law enforcement agencies would want to attempt to learn the names of those whose stories and exploits are told in the book making the book an even greater lure to that audience segment. A key feature of this book, lifted from positive reader comments on Art of Deception, are the antidote narrative to the criminals stories provided by Kevin 75
The book contains approximately 900 entries. Depending on their importance and complexity, entries range from a brief mention to 1,000 words in length. Each entry has a listing of further readings. A Preface, Timeline on critical hacking and technology improvement events, and an Appendix on How Do Hackers Break Into Computers? plus a Resource Guide are also included. The book is about 180,000 words in length and can be easily updated as needed. A sample entry follows: Camping Out (general term): Camping out is a cracking technique that involves waiting for a vulnerability to come along so that can be exploited by the cracker. For example, a cracker can scan all the equipment and services exposed to the Internet, such as recording all the banners, and look for vulnerabilities. The cracker then camps out, waiting for a 0-day exploit to be posted to various placesat which point he or she launches the attack against the target and gets entry into the system before the hole can be patched.

Document Design is defined as the study and practice of creating functional texts--both visually and verbally--that work for readers. In other words, creating texts that people can actual read and use! Functional Texts are the work-a-day documents/manuals that instruct and inform us. These types of texts can range from the manuals that show us how to set our alarm clock to the NY Times to advertisements that warn us of drug abuse. Readers have to interact with each of these texts. Schriver is the premier research authority on how readers react from both well and poorly designed text. 1

UML (Unified Modeling Language) is a graphical modeling language used to specify, visualize, construct, and document applications and software systems, which are implemented with components and object-oriented programming languages, such as Java, C++, and Visual Basic. UML incorporates the object-oriented community's consensus on core modeling concepts and provides a standard way for developers to communicate the details of system design and development. In addition to object-oriented modeling of applications, UML is also used for business-process modeling, data modeling, and XML modeling. Models for software systems are as important as having a blueprint for a large building or an outline for a book. Good models enhance communication among project teams and assure architectural soundness. The more complex the software system, the more important it is to have models that accurately describe the system and can be understood by everyone. UML helps provide this via a standard for graphical diagrams. The Object 1

A thorough revision to the Visual Studio 2005 All-In-One Desk Reference For Dummies makes this the ideal book for new programmers or Java programmers looking to get up and running with Visual Studio. The book will be a comprehensive, value-priced reference for the entire Visual Studio 2005. Microsofts catch-phrase for Visual Studio 2005 is personal productivity. The goal of personal productivity is to allow the developer to work at a higher level of abstraction. The goal of this book is to show the reader how to build applications using these productivity features of VS. As a result, language syntax and programming constructs are de-emphasized in favor of showing the user how to let VS generate the code. This book takes a layered approach similar to how most applications are architected. When developing a new application, developers often divide up the work for the user interface, service layer (data access), and domain classes (coding). Whether there is one developer playing all three roles 6
The 3rd edition, like the first two editions begins with a broad overview of the technology and then focuses on specific facets of the various specifications for the reader. This book teaches you all you need to know about XML what it is, how it works, what technologies surround it, and how it can best be used in a variety of situations, from simple data transfer to using XML in your web pages. It builds on the strengths of the first and second editions, and provides new material to reflect the changes in the XML landscapenotably RSS and SVG. 8
What it is: XML stands for Extensible Markup Language, a meta-markup language that provides a format for describing structured data. Although XML is sometimes referred to as the new language of the Web, it's not a single predefined markup language, like HTML. Rather, XML is a language designed to supplement other languages and to allow designing your own markup. XML is often used for B2B interchanges because companies can agree on a set of tags for passing information back and forth with cost savings and improved efficiency. XML enables independent computer systems to exchange, interpret, and act on data, even if those systems run on different hardware and are programmed in different languages. 8
PHP 5 For Dummies, written in the For Dummies friendly, easy-to-understand style, shows those who build Web sites and programmers how to use the popular PHP Open Source scripting language. It covers PHP 5, the latest major release of PHP. The book explains how to acquire and install PHP; PHP's features that make it a useful scripting language; and how to use PHP for three of the most common applications: interactive Web site creation, database storage, and the common operating system tasks (e.g., accessing files in PHP scripts; using operating system commands; and using FTP and email from a PHP script) associated with a general purpose scripting language. 11
Interviews for software programmers and developers differ from interviews for other types of position in that they consist largely or entirely of coding problems, theory, and brain teasers instead of questions about education, work habits, and experience. There are many books on the latter but none on the former. Thus there's no good way for an applicant to prepare for interviews or to interpret the signals she sends prospective employers by the way she conducts herself during the test. Programmers need to meet challenges of the software interview every time they apply for a job; rarely if ever is someone hired on the basis of having done similar work elsewhere. The software demographic changes jobs with frequency, and understands that remuneration offered for a given position depends in part on how well they acquit themselves when confronted with a poser. 11
SQL stands for Structured Query Language. It is the common database language underlying all major database servers including Microsoft SQL Server, DB2, Oracle, and others. The SQL specification is controlled by the vendor-neutral ANSI organization, not any one vendor. The ANSI/ISO SQL 3 specification (also known as SQL 99) was approved in 1999 but the new features of this specification are only now being incorporated into new versions of database products. SQL 99 should be unchanged for at least another 5 years given the history of previous SQL specifications. 11
What the Book Covers: The first two chapters of the book reviews the basics of web applications and their protocols, especially authentication aspects, as a launching pad for understanding the inherent security vulnerabilities, covered later in the book. Immediately after this coverage, The author gets right down to basics of information security, covering vulnerability analysis, attack simulation, and results analysis, focusing the reader on the outcomes aspects needed for successful pen testing. The author schools the reader on how to present findings to internal and external critical stakeholders, and then moves on to remediation or hardening of the code and applications, rather than the servers (often covered in other books). Real World Web Solutions: The culmination is Chapter 9, the build out of a personal pen testing lab, replete with a baseline list of products, with installation guidance: Linux Fedora VMWare Apache MySQL PHP Perl JBoss OpenLDAP OpenSSL OpenSSH 12

Software testing is a critical stage in software development used to ensure that a program meets required specifications, and does not contain errors in programming code. As with all stages of software development, in testing there are many traps you can fall into, thereby missing errors. Testers need a handbook of tips, tricks, and common pitfalls to help them avoid testing errors without the years of experience, and trial and error it normally takes to do so. James Bach and Cem Kaner, 2 of the world's leading testing experts, deliver the lessons they have learned in their over 30 years of combined testing experience. 45

The power and elegance of generic types have long been acknowledged. Generics allow developers to parameterize data types much like you would parameterize a method. This brings a new dimension of reusability to your types without compromising expressiveness, type-safety, or efficiency. Now .NET generics makes this power available to all .NET developers. By introducing generic concepts directly into the Common Language Runtime (CLR), Microsoft has also created the first language-independent generics implementation. The result is a solution that allows generic types to be leveraged by all the languages of the .NET platform. This book explores all aspects of the .NET generics implementation, covering everything from fundamental generic concepts, to the elements of generic syntax, to a broader view of how and when you might apply generics. It digs into the details associated with creating and consuming your own generic classes, structures, methods, delegates, and interfaces, examining all the nuances associated 55

Whilst there have been a number of books on eXtreme Programming, few have looked in detail at individual practices. Refactoring represents a significant aspect of XP that has still largely to be resolved. These authors do not attempt to cover the same ground as Fowler but look instead at coarse grain refactorings - remoulding system architecture. Software that no longer adequately does what it was originally built to do means that developers are often forced to create workarounds and ugly fixes. Without refactoring, new requirements can't be met, but also when new iterations and versions are released, it can mean a degeneration in the efficiency of the overall system. This book looks at methods of establish design improvements as an important and independent activity during development of software, and will help to ensure that software continues to adapt, improve and remain easy to read and modify without altering its observable behaviour. 162

This book helps programmer's update their skills from writing traditional HTML 3.2 or HTML 4 to writing standards-based web pages using XHTML and CSS. It also introduces them to the increasingly important topic of making web sites accessible. While many programmers have heard of XHTML, they are not aware of the differences between HTML and XHTML (in particular how simple it is to update their skills). After reading just one chapter, a competent HTML author could be writing standards compliant XHTML. CSS rapidly is gaining widespread use as the de facto method of styling documents. With over 90% of web users running version 5+ browsers, authors no longer need write HTML 3.2 which mixes presentational rules with structural markup, and can instead follow the W3Cs aim of separating style from content. Because CSS properties bear a resemblance to the stylistic attributes in HTML 3.2, it is quite easy for an HTML programmer to update their skills and start writing CSS style sheets (and therefore reap the benefi 47
Focusing on reader feedback and changing industry trends, this 3rd edition is a major overhaul addressing a fundamental set of changes in the web page industry since the second edition (which will be 4 years old when the 3rd edition releases). Many approaches and technologies that seemed destined for greatness fell into disfavor as companies shunned new investments and unproven techniques while many older technologies that seemed doomed to obsolescence have been found to have much longer lasting value than once thought. So, this edition addresses not just "how to" and reference material, but also preaches "best practices" as the underlying philosophy explaining to readers which of the alphabet-soup of web page technologies they should rely on. It maintains the comprehensive approach Bibles are known for but with a thorough restructuring of approach to show readers the best, most efficient way to use HTML and which peripheral technologies are worth learning for the long run. 58

Chapter 1: Palettes and Tools. Painting straight lines Photoshops controls over straight lines and angles are not as obvious as they may initially seem to be. In this article Daniel Wade shows you how to make better layer masks and channels using some of Photoshops built-in features. Freeform and straight lines The Lasso tool has been familiar to us since Photoshops inception. Its sibling, the Polygon Lasso, was introduced in Photoshop 4 and, in Photoshop 5, another family member, the Magnetic Lasso Tool, joined the clan. The team at Design Graphics show you how to combine freeform and straight line selections. Automate with Actions Ever needed to quickly find the centre of an image and/or create horizontal and vertical guides that marked the centre of an image? Michael Ninness demonstrates how to construct an Action in Adobe Photoshop that will instantly create the guides for you and align them in one easy step.
