Ave., Hingham, MA 02043 www.charlesriver.com Charles River's technical, weighty guides are powerful picks. John R. Vacca's Computer Forensics The investigation of a computer system believed to be involved in cybercrime. Forensic software provides a variety of tools for investigating a suspect PC. Such programs may include a function that copies the entire hard drive to another system for inspection, allowing the original to : Computer Crime Scene Investigation Crime scene investigation may refer to:
NASA in full National Aeronautics and Space Administration Independent U.S. who packs in over 800 pages of detail on how hackers and criminals use computers as weapons. An updated book/cd package provides an overview of computer forensics, from information security issues to how computer crimes are investigated. Exercises, case studies, and crime examples make Computer Forensics a practical manual. Danny Kodieck's Mathematics And Physics For Programmers (158450-3300, $49.95) uses game development to present math and physics concepts, includes a companion CD-ROM CD-ROM: see compact disc. CD-ROM in full compact disc read-only memory Type of computer storage medium that is read optically (e.g., by a laser). with simulations and even source code, and uses pseudo-code to illustrate topics. These approaches make Mathematics And Physics For Programmers much more accessible than most, lending practical value and applications-oriented approaches to math formulas and physics. Steve Rabin edits Introduction To Game Development (1584503777, $69.95), a weighty text based Also called "character based," it refers to handling text and not graphics. Simple charts and illustrations may be drawn, but they are limited to a set of special characters that are strung together to make up lines and shades (see OEM font). on the curriculum guidelines of the IGDA IGDA International Game Developers Association IGDA Interactive Graphics and Data Analysis and the first to examine all aspects of the theory and applications of game development and design. It lends to use either as the classroom text or as supplemental college-level reading: a comprehensive overview accompanied by a detailed CD-ROM holding all animations, documents and demos referenced in the text makes for a very detailed presentation packed with tutorials and source code, while almost thirty leading industry game developers and programmers contribute technical chapters. A highly recommended pick, indeed. Herbert H. Thompson and Scott G. Chase's Software Vulnerability Guide (1584503580, $49.95) comes from a security director and a security architect, drawing upon their combined expertise to consider techniques developers need to use to produce secure code in modern software. Developers and testers receive both tools and assessments of tools designed to help recognize and prevent common vulnerabilties in source code. Commentary and code examples pack a guide which includes a CD-ROM with source code and many tools described within. The second edition of M. Tim Jones' AI Application Programming (1584504218, $59.95) also joins the 'Programming Series' of technical guides to cover the latest AI concepts, from neural networks and intelligent agents to search algorithms and rules-based logic systems. The CD-ROM included contains all commented source-code in C, supplementing introductory discussions. |
