No longer. People continue to discover more ways than we ever imagined to tweak, tone, and otherwise futz around with Google bits for myriad uses. In the 18 months since Google Hacks first appeared, search has, if possible, only grown in importance. Not only is there more information than ever to be found-via email, computer hard drives, and newly digitized repositories of previously offline content-there is also a greater need to automate tasks and to locate that needle of information in a haystack that just will not stop growing. We hope that you enjoy this new Google Hacks effort and continue to help us make the most of the world's information by making it universally accessible and useful. --Craig Silverstein, Director of Technology, Google < Day Day Up > < Day Day Up > Foreword to the First Edition When we started Google, it was hard to predict how big it would become. That our search engine would someday serve as a catalyst for so many important web developments was a distant dream. We are honored by the growing interest in Google and offer many thanks to those who created this book-the largest and most comprehensive report on Google search technology that has yet to be published. Search is an amazing field of study, because it offers infinite possibilities for how we might find and make information available to people. We join with the authors in encouraging readers to approach this book with a view toward discovering and creating new ways to search.

Kalidindi November 2007 2 This thesis titled Linux Operating System Configuration Management Framework: A Scalable and Efficient Approach Using Open Source Utilities by SRINIVAS R. KALIDINDI has been approved for the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and the Russ College of Engineering and Technology by Chang Liu Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Dennis Irwin Dean, Russ College of Engineering and Technology 3 Abstract KALIDINDI, SRINIVAS R., M.S., November 2007, Computer Science Linux Operating System Configuration Management Framework: A Scalable and Efficient Approach Using Open Source Utilities (120 pp.) Director of Thesis: Chang Liu With the steady growth in Information Technology sector, managing complex infrastructure has proven to be a challenge for organizations, both big and small, in terms of maintaining a consistent environment across the board. In a product development industry, this consistency in the environment plays a key role in maintaining the overall productivity of the organization. Current Information Technology administrators have access to a wide array of open source and commercial tools for infrastructure management in terms of hardware as well as software configuration changes. As hardware support is provided by the appliance vendor, the complexity in managing the underlying operating system configuration changes poses a challenge. Although there is a wide array of open source tools available to achieve this objective, they may be far more complex than required, and may not be entirely portable within an existing environment.

  • Perl by Example, Third Edition—This Book Is a Superb, Well-Written Programming Book
    Praise for Ellie Quigley’s Books “I picked up a copy of JavaScript by Example over the weekend and wanted to thank you for putting out a book that makes JavaScript easy to understand. I’ve been a developer for several years now and JS has always been the ‘monster under the bed,’ so to speak. Your book has answered a lot of questions I’ve had about the inner workings of JS but was afraid to ask. Now all I need is a book that covers Ajax and Coldfusion. Thanks again for putting together an outstanding book.” —Chris Gomez, Web services manager, Zunch Worldwide, Inc. “I have been reading your UNIX® Shells by Example book, and I must say, it is brilliant. Most other books do not cover all the shells, and when you have to constantly work in an organization that uses tcsh, bash, and korn, it can become very difficult. However, your book has been indispensable to me in learning the various shells and the differences between them…so I thought I’d email you, just to let you know what a great job you have done!” —Farogh-Ahmed Usmani, B.Sc. (Honors), M.Sc., DIC, project consultant (Billing Solutions), Comverse “I have been learning Perl for about two months now; I have a little shell scripting experience but that is it. I first started withLearning Perl by O’Reilly. Good book but lacking on the examples. I then went to Programming Perl by Larry Wall, a great book for intermediate to advanced, didn’t help me much beginning Perl.

Perhaps the cooking metaphor is one such, at least in this case. The only problem I have with it is a personal one - I feel a bit like Betty Crocker's mother. The work in question is so monumental that anything I could say here would be either redundant or irrelevant. However, that never stopped me before. Cooking is perhaps the humblest of the arts; but to me humility is a strength, not a weakness.

Depending on whom you ask, Perl stands for “Practical Extraction and Report Language” or “Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister.” It is a powerful glue language useful for tying together the loose ends of computing life. History Perl is the natural outgrowth of a project started by Larry Wall in 1986. Originally intended as a configuration and control system for six VAXes and six SUNs located on opposite ends of the country, it grew into a more general tool for system administration on many platforms.
