PHP/MySQL TutorialOpen source has brought a lot more than Linux to the computing world. It has also given us PHP and MySQL. According to Graeme, PHP and MySQL are the world's best combination for creating data-driven sites. In the first installment of this three- lesson tutorial, our Kiwi guide covers everything you need to know to begin developing database hubs. He gives instructions for installation on both Unix and Windows, and then goes on to show some simple scripts that will insert information into a database and display that data on a Web page.
Lesson 2 covers more PHP/MySQL goodies than you could probably imagine. Graeme starts by showing while loops, then talks about the ever-useful if-else statement. But this information alone means little if you don't continue and see how PHP can be used with HTML forms. By the time you've polished off this lesson, you'll be able to add, edit, and remove information from your database. In Lesson 3, Graeme shows some of the secrets that will turn your simple data-driven site into a useful application. As he covers validation, he'll show how to prevent users from leaving key form fields blank and how to make sure numeric files don't contain letters. He'll also teach you how PHP handles includes and functions. Plus you'll see how these two features, when deployed together, can make the coder's life much easier. Graeme winds it all up with some tearful parting words and a bit of advice for the aspiring PHP/MySQL coder.
Download pdfHow to Connect Technology and Passion in the Service of LearningThe digital age has vastly expanded people's access to all sorts of information and resources, including educational materials. The Internet has also fostered a new culture of sharing, one in which content is freely contributed and distributed with few restrictions. Indeed, the latest evolution of the Internet, Web 2.0, is creating a new kind of participatory medium that is ideal for encouraging multiple types of learning.
Web 2.0 has blurred the line between producers and consumers of content and has shifted attention from access to information toward access to other people. New kinds of online resources — social-networking sites, blogs, wikis, and virtual communities — have allowed people with common interests to meet, share ideas, and collaborate in innovative ways.
Two of those ways involve social learning, based on the premise that our understanding of content is socially constructed, through conversations about that content and through interactions around problems or actions. The focus is not so much on what we learn as on how we learn. In addition, social learning concerns not only "learning about" the subject matter but also "learning to be" full participants in the field. That involves acquiring the practices and norms of established practitioners in that field or acculturating into a community of practice, such as an open-source community, where you are required to assimilate the sensibilities and ways of seeing the world embodied within that community. That culture of sharing and participation usually starts with the students themselves, as we see vividly in the complex, multiplayer gameAMBIENT OCCLUSION IN MAYA8 and PHOTOSHOPThis tutorial covers the basics of how to setup and bake ambient occlusion maps in Maya8. The process is similar for previous versions of Maya only the menu names will be different. As with most things in Maya there are probably many different ways to do this but this method works well for me and is reasonably quick to setup.
1. SETTING UP THE SHADER NETWORK
- First open the hypershade window and from the Maya nodes list MMB drag a Surface Shader node into the work area
- Now click on the "Create Maya Nodes" button at the top of the nodes list and change it to MentalRay nodes.
- Then under the textures tab MMB drag an 'mib_amb_occlusion' node onto the work area
- Now connect the 'OutValue' of the Occlusion node to the 'OutColor' of the surface shader. This is the default connection between these 2 nodes so you can do this by simply holding down Ctrl and MMB dragging the occlusion node over the shader node.
2. SETTING UP YOUR SCENE
- In order to get good results from Ambient Occlusion the scene environment must be white. To do this open the Outliner window and select the Persp camera. In the attribute editor under the Environment tab slide the Background Color to 100% white
- Now open the Render Globals window and select MentalRay as your renderer and Production as the quality preset. Now change the multi-pixel filter to "Lanczos".
(this will automatically change your Quality preset to 'Custom' like in the picture)

• An easy-to-use integrated development environment (IDE)
• A suite of .NET interoperable object-oriented programming languages, including C#
• A Common Language Infrastructure (CLI), which enables .NET language interoperability
Objectivity/.NET for C# is a .NET programming interface for Objectivity/DB.
In response to growing market interest in the Microsoft .NET framework, Objectivity, Inc. has developed Objectivity/.NET for C#, which can be used to store and manipulate .NET/C# objects in an Objectivity/DB database. Objectivity/.NET for C# is high-performing and fully interoperable. Consistent with Objectivity, Inc.’s reputation for database storage solution excellence, Objectivity/.NET for C# is a high-performing and fully interoperable .NET database:
• It eliminates the mapping layer between C# and traditional data bases, which improves performance and reduces development effort.
• It uses the C++/CLI managed interface which is directly linked with the multi-language Objectivity/DB kernel. This enables such Objectivity/DB supported languages as, C#, C++, Java, Smalltalk, and Objectivity/SQL++, to all share the same underlying persistent objects in the Objectivity/DB federated database. The advantage of linking the new C++/CLI interface with the Objectivity/DB kernel is that the performance is much better than with message-based alternatives.
• It provides automatic C# code generation for persistent class definitions using the ooddlx tool; Objectivity/Assist can be used as a visual interface to create and generate the persistent defini tions themselves.
• It includes a managed library of Objectivity/DB access methods that can be invoked from C# (or any .NET language).Scalability of the Microsoft Cluster ServiceAn important argument for the introduction of software managed clusters is that of scale: By constructing the cluster out of commodity compute elements, one can, by simply adding new elements, improve the reliability of the overall system in terms of performance and in availability. The limits to how far such a cluster can be scaled seems to be dependent on the scalability of its management software, which in its core has a collection of distributed algorithms to guarantee the correct operation of the cluster. The complexity of these algorithms makes them a vulnerable component of the system in terms of their impact on the overall scalability of the system.
This paper examines two of the distributed components of the Microsoft Cluster Service that are most likely to have an impact on its scalability: the membership and the global update managers. The first sections of the paper will provide some general background on these distributed services and scalability issues. After that the algorithms used to implement these service are described in detail and an analysis of their impact on scalability is given. The scalability analysis is based on an off-line analysis of the algorithms as well as the results of on-line experiments on a cluster with a, in MSCS terms, large number of nodes.
