Our very first Academy Day was held on Saturday morning at FC Dallas Stadium and the event was a big success! The under-18s battled to a 1-1 draw with Real Colorado while the under-16s cruised to a 3-0 victory.
Here are some pictures from the matches taken by FC Dallas Graphic Design Coordinator Olivia Brestal. In case you were wondering, summer decided to come early on Saturday so most of the fans were taking shelter under the shade on the concourse and in our plaza terraces!
At halftime of Saturday's win over DC United, FC Dallas recognized the entire 2013 graduating senior class. While not every player will be moving on to play in college, we thank each and every member of the FC Dallas Academy family and wish them the best as they begin the next chapter of their lives!

Day 9:
Saturday, May 4
We started the day with a two and a half hour drive back to the training facilities of Wronki. The boys started very quickly out of the gate. Sebastian Gordillo struck a 25 yard shot in the upper 90 to make the game 1-0 in favor of FCD in just the first minute. Lech Poznan kept an aggressive attack throughout the first half and found the back of the net in the 39th minute when Gras Ernest scored. The second half became a counter attack battle and saw even possession from both teams, but neither team could find the final touch and the game ended at 1-1.

Lech Poznan - 1
FC Dallas XI: Charlie Furrer, Livano Salas (Jeff Withers 56' ), Ryan Jakszta, Antonio Trespalacios, Clay Ritterhaus, Brent Mandelkorn, Reese Schattle, Martin Salas, Sergio Lara (Kody Korleski 60), Sebastian Gordillo, Christian Ramirez

Right after the game, we drove to the Lech Poznan professional game. This was a game in which Lech won 1-0. It was an amazing experience for both the players and staff. We saw their ultra fans at their best and the atmosphere couldn't have been better!
Day 10:
Sunday, May 5
We are now heading back to the States. We will start with a 2 hour drive to Poznan, followed by a 2 hour flight to Munich, Germany. We then had a 9 hour flight to Chicago. From Chicago, we finished our journey back home into Dallas!

Day 1:
Thursday April 25th
We left Dallas at 4:00PM and arrived at 7:00AM in Frankfurt, Germany. We had a layover for a few hours and then took a short flight to Munich, Germany then to Poznan, Poland. At the airport in Poznan, we were greeted by Derek Karasinski's friends and family who took us to the Olympic Hotel which was about one hour away. We had a short training session with the direction of Francisco Molina working on functional defense, Raul Herrera working with the keepers and Jesse Suarez work on shooting drills with the midfielders and forwards.

The second goal came in the 38th minute when Jason Saco-Vertiz dribbled pass the midfield and played the ball to Weston Mckennie who made a one time pass to Richard Tapia. Tapia then made a diagonal run in front of the defense and found himself one against one with the keeper and sliped the ball down the left side of the keeper for a beautiful goal. In the second half in the 42nd minute, Bernie ZuaZua applied high pressure on the left fullback and won the ball from him, then bent a shot around the keeper for the goal.

The FC Dallas U-14 Pre Academy team coached by Francisco Molina claimed the U.S. Club National Premier Leagues Champions Cup in Waukegan, Ill. on July 31. A national tournament open to all of the regional premier league champions, FC Dallas U-14s advanced to the competition by winning the Texas Pre Academy League's U-14 division with an undefeated record of 16-0-5.
The U-14s opened the tournament with a 2-0 win over South Carolina United Battery on Friday, July 27. Goals were scored by Weston McKennie, who scored 10 goals in the regular season, and leading scorer Christian Ramirez, who tallied 19 goals to lead the U-14s during the regular season.
The next day FC Dallas faced HBC Fusion of New York. Richard Tapia and Bernie ZuaZua scored in that game to give the U-14 side its second straight 2-0 win. The team's final group stage match was a must-win against the Chicago Fire. Ramirez came through in the match, putting away a cross from teammate Eric Davies to give FC Dallas a 1-0 win and a spot in the semifinals.
FCD met DMS of California in the semifinals on the morning of Monday, July 30. After 70 minutes of scoreless regulation time, the sides played two 10 minute overtime periods. The breakthrough came in the second overtime when Ramirez scored his third goal of the tournament off a ZuaZua corner kick to give FC Dallas a late 1-0 lead. Minutes later Delfino Garcia put a shot on goal that the DMS 'keeper deflected, but Tapia pounced on the rebound to put the game away with a 2-0 win.
FC Dallas faced the New York Red Bulls in the championship game on Tuesday, July 31. New York dominated large portions of the match, but the Dallas defense held strong to maintain a scoreless match through regulation. Early in the first overtime period, FC Dallas established possession and strung together a series of passes that ended with Jessi Najera playing a through ball to Tapia. Being chased by two Red Bulls defenders, Tapia didn't hesitate to pull the trigger on a shot that beat the New York goalkeeper to give FCD the 1-0 lead in overtime. After some stellar defending in the dying minutes, FC Dallas won the match with yet another shutout to claim the championship.
After an undefeated season that started in Sptember of 2011, the U-14s won five games in five consecutive days without allowing a goal against and outscored their opponents 8-0 to win the national title.

The 32 teams in each age group are ranked based on overall points per game and placed into four pods. Teams are then drawn at random from the four pods into eight groups comprised of four teams each.
Each team plays three games during the playoffs, facing their group opponents once apiece. Upon the conclusion of the playoffs the winner of each group will advance to Finals Week, which will take place from July 16-23 in Houston.

The U-18s celebrate Danny Garcia's goal against Barcelona at last year's Dallas Cup.
Dallas Cup has officially announced that the FC Dallas U-18 Academy team will be facing the Manchester United Reserves at FC Dallas Stadium on Sunday, April 1 in the third and final match of the traditional Sunday triple header on Opening Day of Dallas Cup XXXIII. Man U's Academy squad will be participating in the AEGON Future Cup in Amsterdam Easter weekend, so Dallas soccer fans will be thrilled to hear that Manchester United Reserve coach Warren Joyce will be bringing a roster of age-eligible second-string professionals to Frisco.
"We're going to the Dallas Cup in the US," Joyce told Inside United. "There are a lot of good teams going and we felt it would be valuable experience for this group of boys."
"We are excited to participate again in this year's Dallas Cup and playing in the Super Group will be a great opportunity to compete against some of the best teams from around the world," said Vice President of FC Dallas Youth Chris Hayden. "Opening up on April 1 against Manchester United, one of the world's most storied and prestigious clubs, will be a great way to measure our players and team and we are looking forward to the competition."
FC Dallas will once again be participating in Dallas Cup as members of the Gordon Jago Super Group. Last year they played Barcelona on the Stadium Field, and the year before that they faced off with Chelsea in the stadium.
"(It will be) a great opportunity for the young FC Dallas players to go up against such a famous club team and for the FC Dallas supporters and Dallas soccer fans to cheer them on in such a prestigious game," said Dallas Cup Executive Director Gordon Jago.

SEO Tip for Businesses: Outsourced SEO Firm Cannot Succeed Without Your Help
Business owners and employees are often overwhelmed dealing with the day-to-day tasks that it takes to run a successful business and attempting to run their own SEO campaign can be nearly impossible. Reliable SEO companies can give businesses great results because they can dedicate the time and resources needed to help a business move ahead.
SEO firms can get great results, but as SEO heads into a unique content-driven direction, it has become more difficult for SEO companies to keep generating consistent, unique and accurate articles and posts on behalf of their clients. SEO firms aren't necessarily experts in every industry they represent, but they can find quality places to build links in just about any industry. They know how to find quality, topically related places to submit industry-specific content. It is becoming unrealistic to expect an SEO firm to write intelligently and accurately on home improvement, criminal law and plastic surgery. They are not carpenters, lawyers and doctors, so they probably can't give every subject the accuracy it deserves.
This is where the business owner (or employee) comes in. SEO firms can find you positive and sustainable linking opportunities but will likely need help in producing the high quality materials you want to represent your business. If you have the time (or can make the time), supply them with a couple unique articles per month. Explain an aspect of your business, offer free advice to a reader or offer general tips relating to something in your industry. If you don't have enough time to be consistently generating entire articles, offer some article suggestions and some key bullet points to include. Offer your SEO manager as much information as you can to give them a basis on which to start their content generation. If you can't offer a lot of assistance to develop the content, be sure to at least spend time reviewing the content before it is submitted anywhere to ensure that your company is accurately represented.
There are other good practices that SEO firms may ask you to participate in that may require a little extra time and money from the business owner. Many excellent organizations offer links to contributing members. These can often be great organizations to contribute to for personal reasons, as well as providing superb linking opportunities. It helps your company's SEO and brand image, but will often cost money. Other valuable linking opportunities can come from industry related networking. Your SEO firm should guide you in the direction and help find which links would be valuable to pursue, but by investing this little bit of extra money and time, you could greatly supplement the SEO firm's efforts in increasing your rankings.
Making an investment in an SEO firm can benefit virtually every business. To get the best results from your SEO campaign, contribute as much unique content as you can, invest your time and a little bit of extra money into organizations and networking and you will see positive, sustainable SEO results.

Absolutely website owners need to be involved in their SEO. For one reason, all content needs to be infused with expertise, and the owner has the expertise about their service or product, not an overworked overseas SEO writer.
Second, as too many site owners found out the hard way with Penguin and Panda, letting your SEO company go off on their own to do their "black magic" is begging, BEGGING, for trouble — and finding it.

September 4th, 2012 at 8:14 pmHi Christopher
Thank you for your additional insight. Classic business strategy is to try to do more with less; however in the SEO world this approach is no longer working. Business owners who are serious about SEO must start investing in sustainable tactics with their own time and money in order to see success.
both need each other
This is a great topic. Many clients think that they can sign a contract and essentially disappear. There needs to be consistent communication between the two parties. If the client is providing us with content or detailed topics for content the work won't be able to move forward.
Kyle Scott Reply:
September 4th, 2012 at 8:18 pmHi Nick
I feel your pain! I cannot tell you how many times our SEO efforts have been halted due to a lack of content requested from the business owner. They often express concern about content written by an outsider not representing the business correctly yet they fail to provide content when asked. It is a tough challenge that we as SEOs must explain to businesses up front.
Effective SEO, i.e., content, REAL links (not spam), and Google Analytics to maximize site performance AFTER SEO has gotten traffic to the site) is not cheap — it's now a fairly expensive investment. Organic traffic almost always brings in more qualified leads and sales then PPC. Nevertheless, if a company can only afford a few hundred dollars per month, & if they don't feel like creating content that communicates with their potential customers, they're far better off just putting that $$ into Adwords and paying for the traffic (and hopefully the sales/conversions) they need.
You and I seem to share very similar thoughts regarding business SEO. It seems to me there is a "critical mass" of dollars/month required to produce significant ROI on organic SEO spending. Who cares if your SEO investment gets your site from page 9 to page 4? We all know hardly anybody goes past page 2. I agree that if the time and funds are not available to get your site to page 1 the right way, Adwords spending is a better route.
SEO is obviously important for getting more people to read your site. You need to have an informative content in your website so as to keep the visitors to spend for the long time. As well as to increase the position of the website in the search engine SEO is important.
Kyle Scott Reply:
September 11th, 2012 at 10:31 amSri
Exactly. My thoughts apply to content both on and off the clients' website. Obviously, the client is the expert in their field and, because of this, are more likely to write content that will engage the target audience that visits their site. In addition to this, they will also be more able to write industry-specific, intelligent content to add to affiliated sites- with a link of course!

Ken Kreisel Quattro Series
Looking at the prices here:- http://www.lsound.eu/catalogsearch/result/?q=ken+kreisel
for the front 3 that I would be interested in would be £2357.
I must say I was hoping they would be more in line pricewise with the MK 950s.
Anyway can't wait to find out how good they will be.
The Quattros use three extra HF units, so will sound more refined with less distortion. They'll be capable of higher SPL's due to the higher efficiency, and you'll also get the benefits of the Quattro HF array. This involves concentrating the higher frequencies more toward the user rather than having it being reflected off any nearby walls. Also, the HF units can ease the load of the mid/bass driver too by dealing with some of the upper mid notes that a cone isn't great at doing. At about £800 each, which is only a little more than I expected, they're still going to have the capability of sounding better than S150's, but for less.
Auditioning them in a few weeks will tell the full story
Also, the TRiFX surrounds are about the same price as the SS150's, but utilising the extra HF units. They also welcome back the flexibility of M&K's SS150's of being used as a dipole or tripole speaker, but with the added flexibility of being able to be used as a monopole too.
For someone that was about to spend out on the Mks this has come at a good time. Very keen to know more.
Just working through some prices though based on the euros shown on the link above and a 5.1 using the Q125 LR and the Q125C and a pair of Q125 TriFX with the DXD2012 and my maths are showing £9k
thats a little scary
Maybe not quite so good news??
The centres are sold as singles, and the LCR's sold in pairs, as are the surrounds. As an example, Q125's in a 5.0 set up work out to about £3800. So with a DXD12012 would be under £5800.
That's better!
I think in their haste to get the prices up, they've not made things too clear...
David, do the Q125 come with their own stands?
Stands are usually extra. The centre will presumably come with the table top stand, but we've had no prices or details yet - hopefully later today.
David any ideas when you will get your hands on them yet ?
David. Where is the closest retailer likely to be to Bristol? Will the brand be available through other retailers as well where they can be demo'd or just frank Harvey, as Coventry is quite a drive!!
Currently, we're the only UK store to stock them. We negotiated exclusivity because we know how good Ken's products are, and knew his redesigned products would be even better
I did make enquiries about showing them at Bristol, but the products have to be available to other retailers for me to do that, so that was a no go.
Should be the week commencing 18th this month
Should be the week commencing 18th this month
Ok thanks hope so. Will be very interesting when you get them.
David, I will be very interested in your thoughts whether or not they need a beefy amp to get the best out of them like the M&K S150s.
That will be interesting. I think that was one reason why the 750's were popular - because they're an easier load (and because they were a little more domestically acceptable with their more 'upright' design). A good quality £2k receiver was fine for them, but the S150's needed more, which did put some people off. If the Q125 can be as easily driven as a 750, that'll be a major bonus, especially as they're touted as sounding better than the S150's...
As with all Miller & Kreisel designs, his speakers use sealed cabinets, so will be less efficient than ported speakers. Therefore thay will need a decent amp to drive them. This is the drawback of a sealed design, but there are too many benefits to list here right now as to why Ken chooses this design for his AV speakers - partly for superior transient response, but also to eliminate serious room boundary issues.

lovely individual item

Contemporary and stylish - these are really lovely cufflinks.
Mon 09 Jan 2012
They were prompt and I received the cufflinks within the 14 day period as stated. Unfortunately one letter I ordered was an 'M' and I felt it just looked like an upside-down 'W' (as in it tapered at the top), which was a shame considering the price. Apart from that, a nice set of cufflinks.

If you've seen the trailer for Texas Chainsaw 3D, which opens Friday, then you've seen Alexandra Daddario hide in a coffin to evade a psycho killer. And if you think that's not frightening, you're wrong.
"That's a very scary thing to think about, being trapped in a coffin," says Daddario, 26, in town recently to promote the film — a sequel to 1974's gritty Texas Chainsaw Massacre. "And it's scary to shoot."
The new film takes place decades after the first murders. A young woman (Daddario) travels to Texas to claim an inheritance — and meets up with a chainsaw-wielding lunatic instead.
A veteran of such films as P ercy Jackson and The Olympians: The Lightning Thief and Hall Pass and such TV series as White Collar and Parenthood, Daddario was thrilled to work with some of the original film's actors — including Gunnar Hansen, who played everybody's 1970s nightmare, Leatherface.
"It was an honor, really, to have them want to be part of this film," she says.
Had you seen the original movie before accepting the role?
I had not ... but I watched it in preparation when I booked the part. I was blown away. It's totally creepy, made by locals on a shoestring budget. [Director Tobe Hooper] had a vision for what he wanted to do. The first scene is such a terrifying sequence, and it just gets scarier from there. You can see why Leatherface is so iconic.
Do you need to see the original before watching this movie?
There are so many nods to the original story. That's really exciting for people who are familiar with the first movie. But it definitely stands on its own.
You are also part of the "Percy Jackson" franchise. Do you try to seek out such different roles?
I've been lucky to do a variety of different roles. I've worked with the Farrellys and Chris Columbus on the Percy Jackson movies, which I love being a part of. I really like playing strong characters. But doing horror films, I find it stretches you as an actor. You reach a level of emotion you would never reach in real life. You reach a level of hysteria you would never imagine.
Did you have to practice screaming?
I had done a horror film five or six years ago, and I got a lot of practice then. Basically reaching that level of fear and hysteria will bring you as far as you need to be, at least as far as screaming goes. You can't really fake it.
Are you a fan of scary movies?
Yes, but I get scared so easily! I love The Shining, Silence of the Lambs. I remember my father took me to see Pitch Black, and I had nightmares from that movie for years and years.
So after starring in a movie like "Texas Chainsaw 3D," you're still afraid to watch scary movies?
Yes! When I watched the original movie I would watch it, then put it on pause and take a breather. ... With this film, I know what's happening, and I'm in it, but when we saw it we were screaming and laughing. We were scared by it! That was sort of cool. The way it's edited and the way it's put together, with the CGI, it's a different kind of scary from the fear you have while filming.

The graphics I want to make!
It's really a very interesting game because of the black and white drawings. The intro sequence is MARVELOUS! Did you made all the animation?
But it's a pitty (to not say "shame") that the game is so short, for me this is the only problem of your flash. As you say, was just a test...
I really think you must continue making flash animations, you have talent, BUT if it's just a hobby for you, no problem, I understand.
Thank you!
OMG this game stinks!
This is the worst game ever! Realy it is. No offence. Why don't you try making it harder and longer because it only took me 1 minute to finsh the game? Plus why don't you add some action to it and then I might give it a higher score?
Glad you gave some input too. Annoys me when people just say it sucks, then nothing on how i can improve it. Your right, thanks for your input.
At the time i just wanted to make a little point click adventure thing. It was just a test, but turned out ok i think. But i gave up, hah.
I'm working on a new point click/decisions game at the moment, and that should be out in a few months if i ever get around to finishing it.
A game were you press tab a couples of times, click the smallest square, open cabinet, get key, click the guy, say the right things, scene..FLASH, FLASH!! And I win. ;) If I could win like that without a walkthrough, you get 10!! :D
Huh? at first i thought you were being sarcastic, but you gave it a 10. I don't get it, lol.
This game needs a hell of a lot of work though. Thanks for your review.
Very Nice
I know I've reviewed this before, but I really like this game, the presentation is the best thing about it. The story, the graphics, the sound, the Portishead song "Roads" mixed with that moody low snow sound is excellent. I don't really know how much is drawn, and how much is from Animatrix, but from the looks some more original art would be really cool - but original or not, again the presentation is great. I hope that the games I'm working on can grab people the same way this does. By the way, are you available for a collab? :D
Oh ands silentthunder8, the composer is Portishead, the song is Roads, the album is Dummy. It's also on the soundtrack of the show "The L Word". Happy music hunting. ^^
Thanks a lot for your nice review :] Yea, it was basically all from Animatrix, apart from a few scenes were i'd removed things, or added broken glass. Was quite difficult cutting bits out of a real frame from a film and trying to make it look as if it was meant to be like that.
And yea, i'm actually working on a really big point click/decisions game project at the moment. If you wanna get in touch just contact/PM me on here. The more the merrier.
Thanks again.

Danby man jailed after police standoffDecember 10,2012A Danby man was jailed for lack of $100,000 bail Saturday afternoon after police converged on a residence on Old Otis Road where police said the man had a rifle, fought with a woman inside the home, then had a standoff with police.
The incident occurred Saturday at 4 p.m. when police say Josh Blair, 26, had placed a female victim in fear of being injured after he allegedly flipped her onto the couch and held her down with a mop handle.
The woman told police she thought Blair was going to shoot her.
A 911 caller previously told police Blair had a rifle.
Blair was eventually taken into custody by the Vermont State Police Tactical Services Unit and were assisted by the Rutland County Sheriffs Office, Danby Volunteer Fire Department and Manchester Rescue Squad.
Blair was charged with first-degree domestic assault and second-degree unlawful restraint and sent to Rutland jail.
Blair is expected in court today.MORE IN Local & StateGood People is one tough South Boston story, full of the pain of poverty, riddled with the...

text: Porter-Cable's new PIN138, a 23-gauge, 1-3⁄8" pin nailer kit, is the first maintenance-free pin nailer, designed with a dual-stack ring system where the outer ring minimizes internal friction: no need for oil. This means no oil drips on the work surface, and a dry-fire lock-out that prevents the PIN138 from firing when no nails remain in the tool, (no empty nail holes in the work surface). The PIN138 holds 130 pin nails, either headless or slight-headed from 1/2" to 1-3⁄8" in length, and it can countersink those 1-3⁄8" nails into hard materials like oak. Its 2010 suggested price is $149.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"We transformed the menu card into an invitation insert and added the bridal party, flower girls, and reception information. It turned out better than we expected. We chose this in purple, along with the invitation and response card."
"I would definitely recommend these menu cards for your wedding reception. They are elegant without being stuffy and add a little color to the table. High quality."
"I chose the vivid orange to match my wedding colors, and It is perfect. I enlarged the font size and used different font styles that were a little crisper and modern then what is in the sample. The card stock is thick and of good quality. The designers at WPD helped to fit my dinner selection and make it look perfect!"
"I ordered the deep turquoise color that is standard color and it's beautiful. The cardstock is thick and good quality. One thing to note is that the paper is actually a little textured, which you can't really tell either from the photo, or the proof they send, however, I LOVE textured paper, so it was an added plus for me. If you want a completely smooth card, I would not order this. It's also looked slightly more yellow on the proof than in real life, but again, i prefer this, so that works for me. Printing is good quality as far as I can tell. I was able to work with the designer to remove the Second Course since I'm only having salad and I have multiple entree and dessert options. The designer simply moved the text up and reformatted so it would all fit perfectly. Product arrived faster than expected delivery date. Very happy with my purchase!"
"This menu goes perfect with my artistic orchid wedding invitations. Not only was my custom colour exact, the product was delivered earlier than the confirmation said! I know my guests will be thrilled to see the menu as I had such amazing feedback on the wedding invites. Yay!"

Today is the final game for the Stars prospects in Traverse City. They can do no better than third place in their division and will be playing for fifth place overall today against the Red Wings.
The Stars prospects beat the Blue Jackets today 4-3. Richard Bachman rebounded with a very strong game with 35 saves, and Mathieu Tousignant had the game winner in the third period. Sergei Korostin added two goals and reports are that Scott Glennie finally looked comfortable on the ice and had a good, energetic game. Unfortunately, the Stars (1-1-1) sit in third place in their division after round robin play. They will take on the Red Wings tomorrow at 2 p.m. CDT.
The Dallas Stars prospects take on the Columbus Blue Jackets today in Traverse City.

Linux Programming Bible
Author: John Goerzen
Publisher: IDG Books Worldwide
E-Mail: email@example.com
Price: $39.99 US
Reviewer: Ben Crowder
As anyone who has spent some time with Linux knows, our favorite operating system is a programmer's heaven. With dozens of free compilers and interpreters for practically every language in existence, source code available for most programs and the programmer-oriented philosophy behind the system, Linux can easily be described as a programmer's dream come true.
Sometimes, however, because there's so much out there, it's hard to keep track of everything, especially for a newbie. That's where the Linux Programming Bible comes in. In clear, concise writing, it shows both the forest and the trees of the exciting world of Linux programming. Note in advance that only a few topics are covered in deep detail; this book is more of a reference and tutorial for beginners, not a comprehensive mammoth of a book on one particular subject.
To start off the book, Chapter 1 introduces the Linux environment and how it relates to programming, including how to find documentation. The second chapter covers basic shell programming and is enough to get you started writing simple scripts which can serve as launchpads into more advanced shell programming. The third chapter, which could very well be one of the most important in the book, describes regular expressions in a fair amount of detail. It also explains how to use them in Perl, sed, awk and C/C++. Chapter 4 introduces the program that, in a sense, started the whole Open Source movement: Emacs. Finally, to conclude Part I, the fifth chapter covers the Linux file system layout, data files (such as /etc/passwd and /etc/group) and initialization scripts.
The second part of the book is devoted to the C/C++ environment. Chapter 6 gives an aerial view of gcc, with a few close fly-bys as well; it covers the different parts of the compiler, as well as some of the more commonly used options. The seventh chapter introduces a tool that has made many projects far easier to manage: GNU Make. It explains the basics of makefiles and goes through a handful of examples, which are enough to get you started. Chapter Eight covers memory management in Linux, statically and dynamically allocated memory, as well as some fun with those beloved pointers. The ninth chapter introduces both static and dynamic libraries and tools to help you manage the latter. When the inevitable bugs pop up, Chapter 10 is there to help you squash them—it explains how to use gdb, the GNU debugger.
Part III covers the Linux model, as the author describes it. The eleventh chapter explains the UNIX philosophy of "everything is a file", and shows how to read and write from files. Chapter 12 introduces Linux processes: the basics, how to fork, synchronization and security-related items. Chapter 13 covers signals—handlers, sending/receiving and some dangers that programmers need to be aware of. Chapter 14 introduces the Linux I/O system, describing simple stream I/O, memory-mapped I/O, and select() and poll(). Chapter 15 closes Part III with an explanation of terminals and how to make sure your program acts nicely toward telnetters as well as toward those accessing it directly.
Nice programs talk with other programs, and that's what Part IV is about. Chapter 16 goes over shared memory and semaphores; Chapter 17 explains how to use pipes and FIFOs; and Chapter 18 introduces you to TCP/IP (Internet) sockets. Sockets are covered in more detail in Chapter 19.
Part V describes one of the most popular glue languages: Perl. Chapter 20 introduces the language, explaining the data structures and basic usage. Chapter 21 covers data manipulation—reading data, parsing and processing it, storing it and spitting it back out again. Perl has, in the eyes of many, been inseparably associated with CGI, and that's what Chapter 22 is about. Finally, Chapter 23 explains how to use Perl's database interface (DBI) to access SQL databases.
While command-line interfaces are quite useful and sufficient for many tasks, there are times when a graphical interface would be better suited. The sixth part of the book contains two chapters on the basics of X Windows from a programming viewpoint, Perl's (and Python's) graphical toolkit (Tk) and basic Gnome programming.
make made our lives easy. CVS made them even easier. The first chapter of Part VII explains the basics of CVS, including setting up your own repository, checking out and committing code, and branching/merging code. Chapter 27 describes some good security practices when writing code for Linux and Chapter 28 covers optimization. At the end of the book is a nice glossary that explains some of the more common terms used in the book.
Is it worth it? Unless you're a wizened kernel hacker with six or seven years of experience under your belt, the answer is yes. The book is a good overview of many topics, covers the most important subjects and can open your eyes to new, previously unseen horizons. This is a must-have book if you're interested in Linux programming.
Ben Crowder has been heavily involved with computers for the past ten years, in almost every aspect (programming, graphics, networking, music and just about anything else you can think of). He has been working with Linux for the past two and a half years and has loved every second of it. In his spare time, he enjoys reading, writing, music and tweaking things on his Linux box. He currently lives in Utah and can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
