Photoshop

Adobe has pulled together an amazing amount of information in its online help system (see online Appendix B, available from this book’s Missing CD page at www.missingmanuals.com/cds), but despite all these efforts, it’s geared toward seasoned Photoshop jockeys and assumes a level of skill that you may not have. The explanations are very clipped and to the point, which makes it difficult to get a real feel for the tool or technique you need help with. That’s where this book comes in. It’s intended to make learning Photoshop CC tolerable—and even enjoyable—by avoiding technical jargon as much as possible and explaining why and when you’ll want to use (or avoid) certain features of the program. It’s a conversational and friendly approach intended to speak to beginners and seasoned pixel pushers alike.

Redis is a data structure server with an in-memory dataset for speed. It is called a data structure server and not simply a key value store because Redis implements data structures allowing keys to contain binary safe strings, hashes, sets and sorted sets, as well as lists. This combination of flexibility and speed makes Redis the ideal tool for many applications. Redis first started in early 2009 as a key value store developed by Salvatore Sanfilippo in order to improve the performance of his own LLOOGG, an analytics product. Redis grew in popularity after getting support from people and companies in the developer world and has since been supported by VMware, who hired Salvatore and Pieter Noordhuis to work full-time on the project.

You may be reading this book for many reasons. It could be because you heard all about Hadoopand what it can do to crunch petabytes of data in a reasonable amount of time. While reading into Hadoop you found that, for random access to the accumulated data, there is something called HBase. Or it was the hype that is prevalent these days addressing a new kind of data storage architecture. It strives to solve large-scale data problems where traditional solutions may be either too involved or cost-prohibitive. A common term used in this area is NoSQL.

We had several goals in mind for this book. Many of them were derived from thinking about that mythical perfect MySQL book that none of us had read but that we kept looking for on bookstore shelves. Others came from a lot of experience helping other users put MySQL to work in their environments. We wanted a book that wasn’t just a SQL primer. We wanted a book with a title that didn’t start or end in some arbitrary time frame (“...inThirty Days,” “Seven Days To a Better...”) anddidn’t talk down to the reader. Most of all, we wanted a book that would help you take your skills to the next level and build fast, reliable systems with MySQL—one that would answer questions like “How can I set up a cluster of MySQL servers capable of handling millions upon millions of queries and ensure that things keep running even if a couple of the servers die?”

It’s about time you asked (even if you didn’t). Perl programs are text files; you can create and edit them with your favorite text editor. (You don’t need any special development environment, although there are some commercial ones available from various vendors.We’ve never used any of these enough to recommend them.)

Data Bases

MongoDB is a document-oriented database, not a relational one. The primary reason for moving away from the relational model is to make scaling out easier, but there are some other advantages as well. A document-oriented database replaces the concept of a “row” with a more flexible model, the “document.” By allowing embedded documents and arrays, the document-oriented approach makes it possible to represent complex hierarchical relationships with a single record. This fits naturally into the way developers in modern object oriented languages think about their data.

Windows Server

The purpose of this book is to introduce and familiarize system administrators, or any one who needs to get up and running with Windows Server 2012, with the platform’s major new features and improvements and how to implement them. First, I’ll offer a little background on the evolution of Microsoft’s newest server operating system.

All of the code that you write during the course of going through this book is standards compliant. This is really important to us, and we would (adamantly) argue that understanding how to think in and write standards compliant XHTML (XHTML 1.0 Strict) & CSS (CSS 2.1) is one of the hallmarks of a talented web designer. There will be no tables for layout, no style information in your markup, and all those tags will be properly closed.

In this book, you can get on with the business of learning how to create a full WordPress site (not just a blog) without all the complexity of hosting your blog on a hosting comany’s web server.

Behavior-Driven Development

All programmers want their code to work the way they intended. Jasmine, a popular testing framework for the JavaScript programming language, allows you to achieve that goal. Through coded specifications, Jasmine helps make your JavaScript work exactly how it’s supposed to. In this book, we’ll explore Jasmine in detail, from its basic concepts to its advanced features. This book aims to explain the concepts of testing and test-driven development, as well as why they’re useful. It then aims to dive into Jasmine and explain how it can help programmers test their JavaScript code. By the end of this book, I aim to give readers an understanding of Jasmine’s concepts and syntax.
