Over the long term, commodities prices are expected to rise based on massive increases in global demand. But, as many investors have discovered the hard way, merely knowing this is not enough to make consistent profits in commodities. There has been a fundamental change in the commodities markets which has implications most investors haven't yet comprehended: century-old trading floors and open-outcry trading have been fully replaced with computerized trading. In this book, world-renowned commodities expert George Kleinman reveals the new practical realities of worldwide electronic trading in commodities, and identifies specific strategic adjustments you must make to capitalize on them. Drawing on more than 25 years in the field, Kleinman shows how to leverage the one indicator that most consistently drives commodity prices: money flow. He introduces the right ways to trade on news... consistent seasonal price shifts you can profit from... powerhouse techniques for profiting from trends... trading opportunities associated with breaking psychological market barriers... conventional strategies that still work (and which ones don't)... and much more. Finally, he introduces the Natural Number Method: a breakthrough approach that any trader can use to capture higher profits from trading commodities.FT PressGeorge KleinmanInvestmentsMarch 13, 2009http://sunlibrary.safaribooksonline.com/30000LTI00034XML presents a number of interesting challenges and opportunities for data storage. Relational databases and full-text search mechanisms that have been the backbone of many applications are not designed to manage XML content effectively. A new class of databases has emerged that is designed specifically to manage XML content. Typically called “XML Native Databases” or just “XML databases,” they incorporate functionality that greatly improves the management, searching, and manipulation of XML to produce the most effective XML data management solution.

A new class of databases has emerged that is designed specifically to manage XML content. Typically called “XML Native Databases” or just “XML databases,” they incorporate functionality that greatly improves the management, searching, and manipulation of XML to produce the most effective XML data management solution. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the standards organization that developed XML, has also developed many standards that can be used to access, search, process, and store XML data. XML databases take advantage of these standards to provide efficient and precise access, query, storage, and processing capabilities not found in traditional database technology. The result is that applications using XML databases are more efficient and better suited for managing XML data.Gilbane Group, Inc.Bill Trippe - Senior AnalystDale Waldt - Contributing AnalystXMLFebruary 01, 2008http://sunlibrary.safaribooksonline.com/30000LTI00039Over the past decade Siemens Medical Solutions has totally reworked its content management and information delivery system, converting it from a problem and liability into a source of competitive and strategic advantage. At the heart of Siemens’ implementation is a thorough re-architecture of its information assets. The company now manages information in the form of XML, at a very fine level of granularity. The case study provides powerful confirmation that there are substantial returns associated with investing in an information architecture that minimizes redundancy and maximizes reuse. The case study also shows readers how this large, world-wide organization achieved these goals.Gilbane Group, Inc.Bill Zoellick - Senior Analyst, The Gilbane ReportInformation ArchitectureDecember 01, 2005http://sunlibrary.safaribooksonline.com/9781933988405Seam in Action offers a practical and in-depth look at JBoss Seam. The book puts Seam head-to-head with the complexities in the Java EE architecture. The author presents an unbiased view of Seam from outside the walls of RedHat/JBoss, focusing on such topics as Spring integration and deployment to alternative application servers to steer clear of vendor lock-in. By the end of the book, you should expect to not only gain a deep understanding of Seam, but also come away with the confidence to teach the material to others.To start off, you will see a working Java EE-compliant application come together by the end of the second chapter. As you progress through the book, you will discover how Seam eliminates unnecessary layers and configurations, solves the most common JSF pain points, and establishes the missing link between JSF, EJB 3 and JavaBean components. The author also shows you how Seam opens doors for you to incorporate technologies you previously have not had time to learn, such as business processes and stateful page flows (jBPM), Ajax remoting, PDF generation, asynchronous tasks, and more.All too often, developers spend a majority of their time integrating disparate technologies, manually tracking state, struggling to understand JSF, wrestling with Hibernate exceptions, and constantly redeploying applications, rather than on the logic pertaining to the business at hand. Seam in Action dives deep into thorough explanations of how Seam eliminates these non-core tasks by leveraging configuration by exception, Java 5 annotations, and aspect-oriented programming.Manning PublicationsDan AllenJavaJune 15, 2008http://sunlibrary.safaribooksonline.com/9780321591869Mashups -- hybrid web applications in which data from more than one source is integrated using publicly available APIs into a single application or tool -- offer vast potential value derived from simple reuse of the virtually unlimited number of resources available. But enterprise developers are struggling to figure out how best to leverage mashup technologies in the corporate environment. This book -- the companion to Mashup Patterns: Designs and Examples for the Modern Enterprise -- shows developers how to design, implement, and debug an enterprise mashup, offering sample code to illustrate key concepts.Addison Wesley ProfessionalJ. Jeffrey HansonAPIMarch 31, 2009http://sunlibrary.safaribooksonline.com/30000LTI00038Autodesk, Inc., one of the world’s leading 2D and 3D design software companies, creates tens of thousands of pages of product documentation and help for its users every year. Because Autodesk operates internationally with users in more than 106 countries, its software and the associated content needs to be localized into as many as 18 languages. Such localization has proven to be a time-consuming, highly manual, and costly process, yet it grows in importance each year as the company and its global user base continue to grow. The documentation and localization teams at Autodesk have long been interested in the adoption of a new system that would improve on the management of the authoring and localization functions. In 2003, the company formed a cross-functional team to evaluate potential systems, and recommend a new system and processes and tools for implementing the system. The result of this cross-functional project was the adoption of Idiom WorldServer, together with Adobe FrameMaker for structured authoring in XML. Following an initial pilot of the system, Autodesk has since migrated more than eight million source words of content into the system, resulting in localized content totaling more than 74 million words. Impressively, users have highly automated workflows and powerful tools for automatically creating outputs such as PDF, Compiled Help (CHM), and HTML.Gilbane Group, Inc.Bill Trippe - Senior Analyst, The Gilbane GroupEnterprise Systems and InfrastructureFebruary 01, 2007http://sunlibrary.safaribooksonline.com/9781932394238When testing becomes a developer's habit good things tend to happen--good productivity, good code, and good job satisfaction.
