/102-5317297-3006519> 


***IP Telephony: You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet
Developers now have the right tools and the right motivation to build a wide 
range of new desktop applications, telephone services, and corporate phone 
systems that integrate voice with the Web, IM, WiFi, and more. Ed Stephenson 
talks with program cochair Surj Patel about what's emerging in telephony, 
and what you can expect to learn at O'Reilly's upcoming Emerging Telephony 
Conference.
<http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/etel/2006/01/05/ip-telephony-you-aint-seen- 
nothin-yet.html> 


***MacVoices #521: Getting the Most Out of eBay with Nancy Conner
Didn't get what you wanted for the holidays? Need to get rid of what you did 
get? Or maybe you just are looking to get a great deal on anything? Nancy 
Conner, the author of "eBay: The Missing Manual" talks about getting the 
most out of the online auction service. Tips for both novice and experienced 
users cover the many types of auctions on eBay, basic and advanced bidding 
and sales techniques and ways to protect yourself when buying and selling.

***Clone Pong, Using Only SDL (and Your Brain)
One of the great things about the games of yore is that they tended to be 
pretty simple, and as Josh Glover explains, Pong is one of the simplest to 
implement. In this first article of a three-part series, Josh shows you how 
to clone Pong all by yourself.
<http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2005/12/15/clone-pong-using-sdl.h 
tml> 

 

***Inside NetBSD's CGD
Security-minded laptop users live in fear of theft, not only of their 
computer, but also of their precious secret data. NetBSD's CGD project is a 
cryptographic virtual disk that can protect sensitive data while acting like 
a normal filesystem. Federico Biancuzzi recently interviewed its author, 
Roland Dowdeswell, on the goals and implementation of the system.
<http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2005/12/21/netbsd_cgd.html> 

 ---------------------
Mac
 --------------------- 

***The Power of mdfind
In addition to the little blue magnifying glass in the upper-right corner of 
your desktop, Tiger provides the mdfind and mdls commands for searching. 
Andy Lester discovered them while working on his updates to "Mac OS X Tiger 
In A Nutshell." Essentially, they provide the power of Spotlight in the Unix 
shell. Here's how it works.
<http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2006/01/04/mdfind.html> 


***Mac Users and the Macs They Use
When you read the articles and weblog posts by prominent Mac users and Mac 
pundits, do you ever find yourself wondering what kind of computer setup 
they're using? Giles Turnbull does. He recently contacted a spat of Mac 
professionals and asked them what they depend on. Here's what they had to 
say.
<http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2005/12/28/mac-users-and-the-macs-the 
y-use.html> 

 ---------------------
Windows/.NET
 ---------------------
***Unit Testing in Visual Studio 2005 Team System
Unit testing is one of the tasks that every programmer worth their salt 
needs to do. Wei-Meng Lee shows you how to use the new Unit Testing feature 
of Visual Studio 2005 Team System to auto-generate the code needed to test 
your application.
<http://www.windowsdevcenter.com/pub/a/windows/2006/01/03/unit-testing-in-vi 
sual-studio-2005-team-system.html> 


***Just-In-Time Data Loading For DataGrids
One of Jesse Liberty's clients has a problem: she has a database with 2 
million records and wants to display these records in a data grid, but does 
not want to load them all into memory from the database. She wants them 
loaded "just in time." Jesse shows how to use the new DataGridView to neatly 
solve the problem.
<http://www.windowsdevcenter.com/pub/a/windows/2005/12/20/just-in-time-data- 
loading-for-datagrids.html> 

 ---------------------
Java
 ---------------------
***Using Global/Distributed Transactions in Java/JDBC with Oracle Real
Application Clusters
Maintaining transaction integrity, and rolling back failed steps, becomes 
more difficult on a cluster. One option is to move some of the load 
balancing decisions to your code, and account for which cluster nodes you're 
using. Sachin Shetty shows how this works in the context of an Oracle Real 
Application Cluster.
<http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2005/12/21/global-distributed-transactio 
ns-with-oracle-rac.html> 


***Maven Project Reporting and Publishing, Part 1
Maven's not just about building; it's about viewing, understanding, and 
managing your projects. In this first part of a two-part excerpt from 
"Maven: A Developer's Notebook," authors Vincent Massol and Timothy M. 
O'Brien introduce Maven's reporting features for issue tracking, 
dependencies, code style, and more.
<http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/excerpt/mavenadn_ch04/index.html> 

 ---------------------
Digital Media
 ---------------------
***Introduction to Camera Raw
Adobe's Camera Raw is arguably the most popular RAW-format converter 
available today. In this video, Deke McClelland introduces you to this tool 
and shows you tips for making image adjustments.
<http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/2005/12/16/camera-raw.html> 


***Andy West: From Dregs to (Software) Riches
Dixie Dregs co-founder Andy West discovered that virtuosity can be a 
liability in the music world, but a benefit in technology. Now this 
four-time Grammy nominee programs computers by day and pursues his amazing 
music at night, drawing the best from both disciplines. Here's how.
