The Art of Multiprocessor Programming
Author: Maurice Herlihy
This book is the first comprehensive presentation of the principles and tools available for programming multiprocessor machines. It is of immediate use to programmers working with the new architectures. For example, the next generation of computer game consoles will all be multiprocessor-based, and the game industry is currently struggling to understand how to address the programming challenges presented by these machines.
This change in the industry is so fundamental that it is certain to require a significant response by universities, and courses on multicore programming will become a staple of computer science curriculums.
The authors are well known and respected in this community and both teach and conduct research in this area. Prof. Maurice Herlihy is on the faculty of Brown University. He is the recipient of the 2003 Dijkstra Prize in distributed computing. Prof. Nir Shavit is on the faculty of Tel-Aviv University and a member of the technical staff at Sun Microsystems Laboratories. In 2004 they shared the Gödel Prize, the highest award in theoretical computer science.
* THE book on multicore programming, the new paradigm of computer science
* Written by the world's most revered experts in multiprocessor programming and performance
* Includes examples, models, exercises, PowerPoint slides, and sample Java programs

Professional SharePoint 2007 Development
Author: John Holliday
• Beginning with an introduction to the technologies in Microsoft's application platform, this thorough guide then goes on to highlight the technologies in SharePoint 2007 that are new for developers
• The author team focuses on how SharePoint fits in and complements the underlying platform; this is discussed throughout the book so that readers can learn how to take existing investments in the MSFT platform and move those to SharePoint
• Places special emphasis on the key areas of SharePoint development: base platform, collaboration, portal and composite application frameworks, enterprise search, ECM, business process/workflow/electronic forms and finally business intelligence
• Demonstrates how to develop applications with RSS, blogs, and wikis; use and customize enterprise search, XML, XSLT in search, and the search Web service; build Portal solutions; and develop Collaboration using calendars, tasks, issues and email events
