    You want to learn HTML so you can finally create those web pages you've always wanted, so you can communicate more effectively with friends, family, fans, and fanatic customers. You also want to do it right so you can actually maintain and expand your web pages over time so they work in all browsers and mobile devices. Oh, and if you've never heard of CSS, that's okay--we won't tell anyone you're still partying like it's 1999--but if you're going to create web pages in the 21st century then you'll want to know and understand CSS. Learn the real secrets of creating web pages, and why everything your boss told you about HTML tables is probably wrong (and what to do instead). Most importantly, hold your own with your co-worker (and impress cocktail party guests) when he casually mentions how his HTML is now strict, and his CSS is in an external style sheet. With Head First HTML, you'll avoid the embarrassment of thinking web-safe colors still matter, and the foolishness of slipping a font tag into your pages. Best of all, you'll learn HTML and CSS in a way that won't put you to sleep. If you've read a Head First book, you know what to expect: a visually-rich format designed for the way your brain works. Using the latest research in neurobiology, cognitive science, and learning theory, this book will load HTML and CSS into your brain in a way that sticks. So what are you waiting for? Leave those other dusty books behind and come join us in Webville. Your tour is about to begin.

    Whether it's a data format like JSON, a network protocol like SMTP, a server configuration file for Apache, a PostScript/PDF file, or a simple spreadsheet macro language--ANTLR v4 and this book will demystify the process. ANTLR v4 has been rewritten from scratch to make it easier than ever to build parsers and the language applications built on top. This completely rewritten new edition of the bestselling Definitive ANTLR Reference shows you how to take advantage of these new features. Build your own languages with ANTLR v4, using ANTLR's new advanced parsing technology. In this book, you'll learn how ANTLR automatically builds a data structure representing the input (parse tree) and generates code that can walk the tree (visitor). You can use that combination to implement data readers, language interpreters, and translators. You'll start by learning how to identify grammar patterns in language reference manuals and then slowly start building increasingly complex grammars. Next, you'll build applications based upon those grammars by walking the automatically generated parse trees. Then you'll tackle some nasty language problems by parsing files containing more than one language (such as XML, Java, and Javadoc). You'll also see how to take absolute control over parsing by embedding Java actions into the grammar. You'll learn directly from well-known parsing expert Terence Parr, the ANTLR creator and project lead. You'll master ANTLR grammar construction and learn how to build language tools using the built-in parse tree visitor mechanism. The book teaches using real-world examples and shows you how to use ANTLR to build such things as a data file reader, a JSON to XML translator, an R parser, and a Java class->interface extractor. This book is your ticket to becoming a parsing guru!What You Need: ANTLR 4.0 and above. Java development tools. Ant build system optional (needed for building ANTLR from source)

    In a monumental verdict, a jury recently awarded Apple $1.05 billion dollars in damages, determining that Samsung copied the technology used on the iPhone and iPad. Christian Louboutin did not make out as well in its case against Yves St. Laurent. Despite having applied for a trademark for their brand-defining red-soled shoes, the court found that Louboutin could not impede the creativity of other designers and granted Yves St. Laurent the right to copy the well-known fashion statement. From smart phones to high heels, song lyrics to Spider-Man, possessing copyrights, patents and trademarks is the first line of self-defense, as well as highly lucrative. In INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY: Money and Power in a New Era (Thomson Reuters, September 2012) attorney Alexandre Montagu explores the pitfalls of being caught unaware of Intellectual Property law. Montagu’s clients include Fortune 500 companies and his practice encompasses a broad variety of industries such as culinary, financial services, entertainment, publishing, and cosmetics. “Whether it’s the trade secrets of a hedge fund’s algorithms, the copyrights or patents underlying the smart phone, the trademarks that protect well-known brands, intellectual property bastes the modern economy,” he says. Through fascinating anecdotes and compelling court cases, Montagu brings home just how important legal literacy can be for your business—think how different social media would be if the Winklevoss brothers had a written agreement with Mark Zuckerburg.INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY fascinates with cases pulled from the evening news. Montagu provides inside access to The Da Vinci Code lawsuit when an author sued publisher Random House for stealing his previously published plot for the best-selling novel. Montagu explains why the case was dismissed, even though there are blatant similarities between the two books. Compelling stories and legal insight make this book essential for songwriters, CEOs, Web designers, inventors, restaurateurs, and anyone who’s ever signed a legal document without reading all of the fine print.

    Now, seven families will fight for control of the new data driven financial infrastructure. For the first time ever, live the untold story behind the people whose job it is to move money, weapons and gold through the international markets.How will they build and secure a system that not only thrives amongst FATF and CFATF recommendations, but also prospers in today's globally regulated banking environment? In this vivid tale of money laundering and South Asia outsourcing, you'll get a moment in time glimpse into the influential families and banking empires that keep money, weapons and power flowing between sovereign nations and the black markets they serve.During the mid-1980's, proceeds from the Latin American drug trade and Soviet-Afghan war flowed into these banks at a rate of over six hundred million dollars per month and with little global regulation, the families grew in wealth and political power, quickly adding billions in cash and real estate to their already vast portfolios.By the late 1980's, these families were faced with a digital landscape that would change everything. The data revolution was taking hold and the old ways would no longer keep them in power or safe. This work has been published from a recorded audio book narrative as told by K. Stern.

    In one case, I went as far as a two and a half year fight in Federal court. But the bulk of my time has been wasted sending DMCA notices to sites that take down one infringement only to put up another. After years of frustration I had given up even trying, but when copyright infringements began appearing above my own pages in Google search following their 2011 Panda update, fighting infringements took on a new urgency. In this guide, I describe the tools and techniques that finally had an impact on the hundreds of thousands on infringements on my work indexed by Google and the other search engines. The main weapon in this fight is Google's new DMCA Dashboard, a must-use first stop for anybody fighting online copyright infringement. I describe how to efficiently use DMCA Dashboard to clean up Google search results, and when it's important to deal directly with website owners.One person filing DMCA complaints and cease and desist orders won't have any impact on the business model of copyright infringement. But if tens of thousands of authors and publishers start standing up for their rights and explaining to readers how copyright infringements are damaging their ability to continue creating new works, it will have an impact. I am a pro-Internet author. I have been publishing online since 1995, I publish eBooks without DRM, and I give away large amounts of my work on my website. And I sincerely believe that if we fail to stop the culture of copyright infringement, the Internet of the future will contain nothing but opinions, product reviews and propaganda. Copyright protection is what allows authors and publishers to earn a living. If we don't stand up for our rights, we will lose them.

    The library, however, is not self-explanatory. To make full use of its components-and to benefit from their power-you need a resource that does far more than list the classes and their functions. The C++ Standard Library: A Tutorial and Reference, Second Edition, describes this library as now incorporated into the new ANSI/ISO C++ language standard (C++11). The book provides comprehensive documentation of each library component, including an introduction to its purpose and design; clearly written explanations of complex concepts; the practical programming details needed for effective use; traps and pitfalls; the exact signature and definition of the most important classes and functions; and numerous examples of working code. The book focuses in particular on the Standard Template Library (STL), examining containers, iterators, function objects, and STL algorithms. The book covers all the new C++11 library components, includingConcurrency Fractional arithmetic Clocks and timers Tuples New STL containers New STL algorithms New smart pointers New locale facets Random numbers and distributions Type traits and utilities Regular expressions The book also examines the new C++ programming style and its effect on the standard library, including lambdas, range-based for loops, move semantics, and variadic templates. An accompanying Web site, including source code, can be found at www.cppstdlib.com.

     There are basically two types of iPhone books out there: (1) The -tell-me-all-about-it- kind, which includes in-depth discussions on everything from wireless network protocols to advanced compression codes. (2) Then there's this book, which instead is a -show-me-how-to-do-it- book that skips all the confusing techno-jargon and just tells you, in plain, simple English, exactly how to use the iPhone features you want to use most. The iPhone Book is from Scott Kelby, the award-winning author of the smash bestseller, The iPod Book. Scott takes that same highly acclaimed, casual, straight-to-the-point concept and layout and brings it to learning Apple's amazing iPhone. Scott teams up once again with gadget guru and leading iPhone authority Terry White to put together a book that is an awful lot like the iPhone itself-simple to use and fun to learn. The book's layout is brilliant, with each page covering just one single topic, so finding the information you need is quick and easy, with a large full-color photo on each page so you can see exactly how it works. The first edition of this book was named Best Computer Book of 2007 and, since then, Scott and Terry have added even more tips and tricks, and made it even easier by focusing on just the most useful and most requested iPhone 4S, 4, and 3GS features (without all the techno-babble), so you can start really using your iPhone today!
