Google Web Toolkit

Author: Bram Smeets

"As modern web application developers, most of us have witnessed the recent Web 2.0 hype. Building more interactive applications while leveraging the power of the Web has proven to be nontrivial. Developing these rich Internet applications (RIAs) requires us to learn JavaScript and cope with browser differences. Luckilyfor us, Google has provided a framework that eases our livesGoogle Web Toolkit (GWT)." "The aim of this book is to introduce GWT and explain why we think it's the best solution for Java' developers who need to build RIAs. In this book, you'll learn to build rich, user-friendly web applications using this popular Javabased Ajax web framework." "This book starts by providing an introduction to RIAs and how GWT fits in with some of the other available solutions. All the key aspects of GWT are tackled pragmatically, as you're using them to build a real-world sample application. Because this book is targeted at Java developers who have no prior knowledge of GWT, we focus on the things we feel are most important to know in order to start effectively using GWT-the stuff that really matters when developing GWT applications." We wrote this book to spread the news that it's possible to build better applications without having to abandon our favorite language, Java. And although GWT is very well documented, we feel that this book provides the introduction that will help Java developers get up to speed quickiy with this amazing technology.

Parallel Computer Architecture or Web Content Management with Documentum

Parallel Computer Architecture: A Hardware/Software Approach

Author: David Culler

The most exciting development in parallel computer architecture is the convergence of traditionally disparate approaches on a common machine structure. This book explains the forces behind this convergence of shared-memory, message-passing, data parallel, and data-driven computing architectures. It then examines the design issues that are critical to all parallel architecture across the full range of modern design, covering data access, communication performance, coordination of cooperative work, and correct implementation of useful semantics. It not only describes the hardware and software techniques for addressing each of these issues but also explores how these techniques interact in the same system. Examining architecture from an application-driven perspective, it provides comprehensive discussions of parallel programming for high performance and of workload-driven evaluation, based on understanding hardware-software interactions.

Features:

• synthesizes a decade of research and development for practicing engineers, graduate students, and researchers in parallel computer architecture, system software, and applications development
  
  
• presents in-depth application case studies from computer graphics, computational science and engineering, and data mining to demonstrate sound quantitative evaluation of design trade-offs
  
  
• describes the process of programming for performance, including both the architecture-independent and architecture-dependent aspects, with examples and case-studies
  
  
• illustrates bus-based and network-based parallel systems with case studies of more than a dozen important commercial designs
