Al Williams Livres

The diary was written over the final months of the 2008 presidential campaign. The author, Al Williams, offers an outsiders view of America's political process and why he had ever voted before. The salient narrative of the diary is American primacy and how that primacy is maintained through corporate control of politicians. Common of age during the 1960s serves as the psychological anchor for many of Al Williams's political decisions and personal misgivings about America as such. The book is unconventional in style, well researched, apologetic, and frank. The Diary of a Stranger in Babylon is one man's attempt to have his say in the crowded arena of social and political discourse.

Java, the language of the Internet, has features especially geared for Internet programming, but those features are simply building blocks. To build full-featured network-centric Internet programs, you must write protocol-specific code to send and receive files, Web pages, email, and other structured information. Java 2 Network Protocols Black Book shows programmers how to leverage open source software, as well as source code unique to the book, to make it easy to handle HTTP, SMTP, FTP, NNTP, Telnet, and other Internet protocols. Each chapter contains background on a different protocol or family of protocols. Plus, it shows you a selection of available tools to handle that protocol. The Immediate Solutions at the end of each chapter show you specific examples that you can use to jump-start your own development.
