Modular Web Design by Nathan Curtis

Modular Web Design: Creating Reusable Components for User Experience Design and Documentation User experience design teams often suffer from a decentralized, blank canvas approach to creating and documenting a design solution for each new project. As teams repeatedly reinvent screen designs, inconsistency results, and IT teams scramble to pick up the pieces. Pattern libraries only go so far, suggesting general solutions to common problems instead of offering concrete, specific design treatments. At times, documented solutions turn into a costly mess of unclear expectations, unrealistic goals, and abandoned work. Enter components, each of which represents a chunk of a Web page. Designers can produce wireframes, mockups, or markup far more efficiently reusing components based on an established design system. Rather than limit innovation, components enable designers to render solved design frameworks quickly and to focus on the problem at hand, drastically improving the quality and rate ...

Wireless Network Design: Optimization Models and Solution Procedures

Year: 2010 Authors: Jeff Kennington, Eli Olinick, Dinesh Rajan Publisher: Springer ISBN: 1441961100 Language: English Format: PDF Pages: 394 This book surveys state-of-the-art optimization modeling for design, analysis, and management of wireless networks, such as cellular and wireless local area networks (LANs), and the services they deliver. The past two decades have seen a tremendous growth in the deployment and use of wireless networks. The current-generation wireless systems can provide mobile users with high-speed data services at rates substantially higher than those of the previous generation. As a result, the demand for mobile information services with high reliability, fast response times, and ubiquitous connectivity continues to increase rapidly. The optimization of system performance has become critically important both in terms of practical utility and commercial viability, and presents a rich area for research. In the editors' previous work on traditional wi...

802.11 Wireless Networks: Security and Analysis

Year: 2010 Authors: Alan Holt, Chi-Yu Huang Publisher: Springer ISBN: 184996274X Language: English Format: PDF Pages: 212 This book shows how to build and analyse wireless networks, exploring how an enterprise wireless network with the highest levels of security can be built. The book also explains how to configure wireless network equipment in order implement various network architectures and levels of security. The contents describe how to set up every component of the network, from the client supplicant and the access-points, through to the supporting servers (e.g. RADIUS). Much of the infrastructure is based upon Linux and open source software, but the book also addresses configuration of equipment from three of the largest wireless network equipment providers: Cisco, Alacatel-Lucent (Aruba) and Meru. Furthermore, the book contains coverage of more theoretical topics on performance analysis and monitoring wireless LANs, including the new 802.11n standard. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD

Prototyping: A Practitioner’s Guide

A Quick Start Guide to Cloud Computing: Moving Your Business into the Cloud | Mark I Williams

A Quick Start Guide to Cloud Computing: Moving Your Business into the Cloud The latest jargon in the digital world, "cloud computing" leaves many small-business owners scratching their heads. At its simplest, cloud computing enables businesses to do away with servers and much of their other IT hardware by running their software online. Web-based email programs like Yahoo or Hotmail are examples of cloud-based applications; Microsoft is making its entire Office suite available free in the cloud; Google and others also have productivity suites in the cloud. Dr. Williams eschews the jargon and marketing hype generated by IT vendors and helps business owners think clearly about how cloud computing could help improve their business. He  addresses fears related to data security and business continuity and also examines how cloud computing can impact a business's carbon footprint. Case studies explain how businesses such as Dell and The New York Times have used cloud computing ...
