New PHP Phrasebook & Linux Firewalls Books

Hope you are doing well! Thought you might be interested in two new Open Source books from Sams Publishing, please let me know if you would like a copy of either book or excerpts for your publication. PHP Phrasebook (Sams Publishing, $14.99) is the guide to PHP that developers can and will take with them everywhere. Developers are hungry for a concise, easy-to-use reference that puts essential code "phrases" at their fingertips. While there are many PHP books on the market, readers need a small, portable reference that can be used anytime, anywhere. Furthermore, sales of PHP books clearly show the need for a concise, handy reference that, like a language phrasebook, can be used "in the street." Skipping the usual tutorial on PHP, the PHP Phrasebook goes straight to practical PHP tools, providing immediately applicable solutions for frequent tasks and code so flexible that it is easily adapted to the developer's needs. An Internet-connected Linux machine is in a high-risk situation. Linux Firewalls, Third Edition (Novell Press, $49.99) details security steps that any sized implementation from home use to enterprise level might take to protect itself from potential remote attackers. As with the first two editions, this book is especially useful for its explanations of iptables, packet filtering, and firewall optimization along with some advanced concepts including customizing the Linux kernel to enhance security. The third edition, while distribution neutral, has been updated for the current Linux Kernel and provides code examples for Red Hat, SUSE, and Debian implementations. ******************************** Andrea Bledsoe Publicist Que & Sams Publishing Pearson Education Andrea.Bledsoe@pearsoned.com <mailto:Andrea.Bledsoe@pearsoned.com> 317-428-3168 Address: 800 East 96th Street 2nd Floor Indianapolis, IN 46240 **************************************************************************** This email may contain confidential material.
