Crowder has authored or coauthored more than 20 books on sub- jects ranging from computers to historical mysteries, including popular best- sellers such as Building a Web Site For Dummies and CliffsNotes Getting on the Internet. He was selling hypertext systems back in the days when you had to explain to people what the word meant. He has been involved in the online community since its inception and is the recipient of several awards for his work, including NetGuide Magazine’s Gold Site Award. He is the son of a teacher and a college president, and his dedication to spreading knowledge, especially about the computer revolution, goes beyond his writing. He also founded three Internet mailing lists (discussion groups), JavaScript Talk, Java Talk, and Delphi Talk, all of which were sold to Ziff-Davis. One of his most treasured memories is the message he received from an old- timer on one of those lists who said that he had never seen such a free and open exchange of information since the days when computers were built by hobbyists in home workshops. When he is not writing, he spends his time with his wife Angela, wandering through villages in the Andes or frolicking in the Caribbean surf. 00a_571443ffirs.qxd 7/1/04 8:27 PM Page iv 00a_571443ffirs.qxd 7/1/04 8:27 PM Page v Dedication For Angela. Eres mi sol, nena, eres mi luna. Author’s Acknowledgments Thanks are due to Steven Hayes, Kevin Kirschner, Kim Darosett, and Jim Kelly, my fine editors, who were there for me every step of the way. Sometimes the relationship between writers and editors is smooth as silk, and sometimes it’s tempestuous, but it always results in a better book through the give-and- take of the writing/editing process, and I am grateful for the critiques and contributions of all the members of the Wiley team. I also leaned heavily on the expertise of Laura Moss, my permissions editor, who helped me put together all the marvelous material on the CD-ROM that accompanies this book. All helped to make this the best book we could all put together for you. And they’re just the tip of the iceberg: About a zillion people work their tails off anonymously and behind the scenes at Wiley to bring you the finest books they can possibly produce. My hat is off to all of them, from the top editors to the humblest laborer on the loading dock. Last, but by no means least, I’d like to say how much I appreciate all the hard work done by my literary agent, Robert G. Diforio, without whose help I would be lost in the intricacies of the publishing world. 00a_571443ffirs.qxd 7/1/04 8:27 PM Page vi Publisher’s Acknowledgments We’re proud of this book; please send us your comments through our online registration form located at www.dummies.com/register/.

    CSC 361/661 Digital Media Fall 2017 Professor Burg Final Project Digital Sound and Music Due Friday, December 8 at 1:00 PM The Assignment for Undergraduate Students You will work in pairs on this program. Both students in a pair will get the same score on the program, unless it becomes clear that a student took a "free ride." Please try to work as a balanced team. Both of you should be active and involved. Neither of you should dominate the pair and do all the work. You'll need to find times to work together outside of class. I don't want you to divide up the work and say "you do this and you do that." I don't want one of you to do the writeup and one do the programming. You both should be involved in both parts. I want you to discuss the problem and the implementation and work out the logic and the code together in person. Your challenge is to create two pieces of meditative music with interesting frequency components. We will listen closely to an example piece of music called Insight by Jeffrey Thompson. You can get the Insight.wav file from the drop box I shared with you. See also https://www.soundstrue.com/store/jeffrey-thompson-5379.html In the evaluation of your project for a grade, your process of making the music and your explanation of the process in a written report will be more important than your final product (although it's always nice to have a pleasing final product).

  • Little White Booklet
    Narcotics Anonymous® Anglicized 1 Foreword This booklet is an introduction to the Fellowship of Narcotics Anonymous. It is written for those men and women who, like ourselves, suffer from a seemingly hopeless addiction to drugs. There is no cure for addiction, but recovery is possible by a programme of simple spiritual principles. This booklet is not meant to be comprehensive, but it contains the essentials that in our personal and group experience we know to be necessary for recovery. Serenity Prayer God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Who is an addict? Most of us do not have to think twice about this question. We know! Our whole life and thinking was centred in drugs in one form or another – the getting and using and finding ways and means to get more. We lived to use and used to live. Very simply, an addict is a man or woman whose life is controlled by drugs. We are people in the grip of a continuing and progressive illness whose ends are always the same: jails, institutions, and death. 2 Narcotics Anonymous 3 What is the experience that those who keep coming to our meetings Narcotics Anonymous programme? regularly stay clean. NA is a non-profit fellowship or society of men and Why are we here? women for whom drugs had become a major problem.

  • Javascript Overview
    JJAAVVAASSCCRRIIPPTT -- OOVVEERRVVIIEEWW http://www.tutorialspoint.com/javascript/javascript_overview.htm Copyright © tutorialspoint.com What is JavaScript ? Javascript is a dynamic computer programming language. It is lightweight and most commonly used as a part of web pages, whose implementations allow client-side script to interact with the user and make dynamic pages. It is an interpreted programming language with object-oriented capabilities. JavaScript was first known as LiveScript, but Netscape changed its name to JavaScript, possibly because of the excitement being generated by Java. JavaScript made its first appearance in Netscape 2.0 in 1995 with the name LiveScript. The general-purpose core of the language has been embedded in Netscape, Internet Explorer, and other web browsers. The ECMA-262 Specification defined a standard version of the core JavaScript language. JavaScript is a lightweight, interpreted programming language. Designed for creating network-centric applications. Complementary to and integrated with Java. Complementary to and integrated with HTML. Open and cross-platform Client-side JavaScript Client-side JavaScript is the most common form of the language. The script should be included in or referenced by an HTML document for the code to be interpreted by the browser. It means that a web page need not be a static HTML, but can include programs that interact with the user, control the browser, and dynamically create HTML content. The JavaScript client-side mechanism provides many advantages over traditional CGI server-side scripts. For example, you might use JavaScript to check if the user has entered a valid e-mail address in a form field. The JavaScript code is executed when the user submits the form, and only if all the entries are valid, they would be submitted to the Web Server.

    85: to c.l Connecticut latlrj (Hamnua Serving Storrs Since 1896 Vol. LXXXV No. 40 University of Connecticut Friday, October 23,1981 Federal Labor board orders PATCO's death WASHINGTON (AP)—The Federal Labor Relations Authority ordered the death of the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization on Thursday, declaring PATCO forfeited its right to exist by "willfully and intentionally " violating the law with a strike last August. But hours later, a federal appeals blocked the order. The 2-1 decision by the FLRA marked the first time the government has put a union out of business by stripping it of its bargaining authority. It came as a victory for the Reagan administration, which fired 11,500 striking con- trollers shortly after their Aug. 3 walkout. The dissenting FLRA member declared that he. too, would want the union dissolved if it did not agree to end the illegal strike within five days. Hours after the ruling, it was stayed by a U.S. Court of Appeals order sought by PATCO. Robert Bonner, deputy clerk of the appeals court, said Janet Ackerman (left) enjoys an ice cream cone with her friend Rose Tse Thursday after- the court issued "a temporary stay until it can get a respon- noon outside the Student Union snack bar (Evan Roklen photo). se from the government" which he said was due Monday.
