Product Review
"This is the new road map for a new generation of students and specialists dedicated to the field of IT and computer information systems." V. Genin, Ph.D., Professor of Engineering, Stanford University, University of Phoenix
"This book brings
software engineering newbies as well as experts in this area up to date with the latest technologies,
software scalability, and integration issues. It will definitely help us create a bridge between
software engineering and knowledge-based technologies." Professor V. O. Safonov, Ph.D., head of the Laboratory of Java Technology, St. Petersburg University, Russia
"An impressive attempt to re-define
software and knowledge engineering for the "post-dotcom" era!" V. Kaptelinin, Ph.D, Department of Informatics, Umeá University, Sweden
"The book is a brilliant synergy of theory and experience. Filled with fundamental concepts together with innovative and yet very practical approaches to modern
software engineering, it answers the most important questions of today and allows us to look into the future." A. Nozik, General Director, Specialized Engineering, Integration, and Automation Company, SZMA
Book Description
Written by a
software architect and experienced trainer, the book brilliantly integrates theory and practice, going from foundations and concepts to architecture, design, and code examples. Through deep insights into almost all areas of modern CIS and IT, Zhuk provides an entry into the new world of integrated knowledge and
software engineering. Readers will learn the "what's, why's, and how's" on: J2EE, J2ME, .NET, JSAPI, JMS, JMF, SALT, VoiceXML, WAP, 802.11, CDNA, GPRS, CycL, XML, and multiple XML-based technologies including RDF, DAML, SOAP, UDDI, and WDSL. The book turns these abbreviations into understandable concepts and examples. Students, architects, designers, and management benefit from innovative ideas and detailed examples for building multi-dimensional worlds of enterprise applications and creating distributed knowledge marketplace.
Reader Reviews
This book was very solid technically, and a fascinating read. On the development side, it is filled with ideas and examples, some of which showed me completely different approaches to common problems. Conceptually, the book is even richer, not only explaining complex technologies in simple ways, but showing how some seemingly unrelated technological developments from the past few years can fit and work together. Overall, I think the book's most worthwhile aspect is the way it married its overall vision, which anticipates the future of integration and knowledge-driven computing, with very specific design and code examples that I could incorporate into my practice right away. A top book for people who want to stay ahead of the pack in the latest practical developments that will shape information architecture for the future.
