J#.NET - Advantages for the Java DeveloperThe Java language has revolutionized the way we program applications for the Internet. Two great ideas make this language so promising:
• Applications written using Java run on multiple different platforms.
• Automatic memory management or garbage collection (GC) comes as a great relief for developers.
Other than these two issues, most of the remaining Java features can be implemented using the majority of other languages. Since its first public release in 1995, the Java language has been maturing and consolidating its position in the market as an increasing number of organizations realize its built-in strengths.
In the beginning, there were efforts to dilute Java's increasing popularity and to prove it to be just like any other language. Various sources attempted to prove that Java applications don't perform alike on all platforms, especially with respect to speed. But Java stood the test of time and emerged even stronger. Ironically, Microsoft stood isolated, even after having produced the world's fastest and best Java compiler and JVM implementation. (Microsoft's Java compiler can compile 10,000 lines of code per second.) Much of the Java API competes directly with Microsoft's API: JDBC with ODBC, JTAPI with TAPI, JDO with ADO, JSP with ASP, Bean with COM, and so on.
Though Java has had huge success, it has also left some problems unattended. Sun initially stated that with Java, "write once run anywhere" is possible; after introducing J2EE, however, Sun admitted that the "one size fits all" plan doesn't work. Java also failed to capture the desktop application market. WhenImage-based Lighting in Lightwave 3D TutorialThe Lightwave 3D renderer is one of the most widely used in Film and Broadcast production because of its quality, workflow, and speed. It can now do image-based lighting due to a number of architecture enhancements in the 6.0 and 6.5 versions. One of these critical new architectures is a full precision rendering pipeline from top to bottom. Another critical ingredient is a global illumination model. Global illumination simulations produce more accurate images of lighting in scenes, by considering more light sources than simple illumination models.
Light sources include actual lights as well as their diffuse reflection from surfaces, their specular reflection, luminous surfaces, surfaces textured with HDR (high dynamic-range) images, volumetrics, and environments. These simulations produce ‘pixel’ values which vary from millions to millionths. Such results require floating point storage to hold both the bright values over 100% (255), and the subtle shading in the dark areas, which have values less than 1/255, and would become black in a 24 bit image. Preserving very high values as well as subtle gradations is important not only for output, but also for image-based lighting methods which require HDR images to reproduce natural lighting environments.

The animated mouse pointers are loaded from .ANI files by the functions from USER32.DLL called LoadCursorIconFromResource and LoadCursor. These functions use an internal function called _LoadCursorIconFromFileMap which, under certain conditions, is prone to a buffer overflow
To understand the vulnerability, a basic knowledge about the .ANI file format is required. The .ANI file starts with a magic value “RIFF”, followed by a DWORD containing the data length, and followed by another magic value “ACON”. The rest of the file is based on chunks. Each chunks starts with a four byte identification word (“anih” for ANI header, “fram” for frames, etc), and a DWORD containing the chunk length. For example, the length of the “anih” ANI header is always 36 bytes long, so the eight bytes of the chunk would be “anihx24 ”.
The internal function responsible for reading the animated pointer from the file is called _LoadCursorIconFromFileMap and is located in the USER32.DLL. The function tries to determine if the file has more than one frame, and if so, it calls another internal function called _LoadAniIcon.

This change in paradigm brings new challenges to people with disabilities. Accessibility advocates must develop solutions rapidly. Semantic Web technologies address some of these requirements, and accessibility innovation may be part of A convergence of the Web 2.0 and Semantic Web.
The term “Web 2.0” describes new characteristics of the Web.
New types of services are made possible by the ability of sites to share or aggregate data, and for users to be part of the authoring process. For users, it is often characterized by much greater interactivity, with users able to influence what is presented to them. Often the content changes or updates frequently, such as in games, flight trackers, stock tickers, etc. In many ways there is a more desktop-like experience, in which Web applications converge with the features of ordinary applications. This is an emergent aspect of the combination of existing technologies supported by the open nature of the architecture of the Web.
Although Web 2.0 applications behave increasingly like desktop applications, they continue to use Web technologies for content transmission, encoding, and presentation. These technologies are used or combined in novel ways that lack the accessibility features that have been built over years into their platform-specific counterparts and are just becoming effectively mainstream in “Web 1.0” content. Web 2.0 thus presents significant risks to accessibility.
Because Web 2.0 is an emergent phenomenon rather than a specific technology orWebstrategy Formulation: Benefiting from Web 2.0 Concepts to Deliver Business ValuesThe growth of internet usage has been increasing tremendously in the past years. Illustratively, Internet World Stats reports that there are approximately 1.25 billion internet users in the world. This is one of the triggers of the emergence of internet businesses nowadays. Most of the successful internet companies tend to develop and nurture a web community. The increasing importance of business communities confirms that there is a shift in business models from a traditional hierarchical system and competition into more collaboration and social networking, which are considered to be two of the most important web 2.0 concepts.
Web 2.0 is defined as “the philosophy of mutually maximizing collective intelligence and added values for each participant by formalized and dynamic information sharing and creation”. An interesting and currently much highlighted prospect for web 2.0 is to aid organizations to enhance their businesses by sustaining their competitive advantage. Web 2.0 has been successfully adopted by many of the successful internet companies, such as YouTube, Amazon, Wikipedia, and Facebook. They are able to maintain and raise their big web communities by applying web 2.0 concepts in their webstrategy. Therefore, the following research question arises: “how can more traditional organizations benefit from web 2.0 concepts?”. This article investigates this research question regarding the formulation of webstrategy benefiting from web 2.0 on any type of organization.

No one knows how many other mashups live behind corporate firewalls, but, chances are, the number is large. The mashups in this chapter were chosen to show the variety of the world of mashups. Some of them are proofs-of-concept, others are works-in-progress, and others are experiments. Others are actual, live products or marketing tools. Mashups often provide visualization of information, and, frequently, that visualization is in the form of interactive maps. The release of the Google maps API was a major factor in the interest in mashups, in large part because so much information lends itself to mapping. As you will see in later chapters of this book, new technologies grouped together as Web 2.0 and AJAX are the building blocks of mashups. In conjunction with APIs such as Google mapping, eBay, Yahoo!, Flickr, and others, you will soon be able to build your own mashups like the ones shown in this chapter.
AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML)
AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a term first used by Jesse James Garrett in 2005. AJAX is generally considered to include JavaScript, XML, XHTML, DOM, and XMLHttpRequest, all of which are technologies developed in the 1990s, some of them in conjunction with Microsoft’s Remote Scripting project. Despite this plethora of technologies, the principle is quite simple: a Web page can retrieve and display data without having to refresh or reload the entire page.
