Introduction to Borland C++ Builder

Borland C++ Builder is based on the C++ language but provides a highly developed environment for building applications. Although it looks impressive and easy, you need a (good) foundation in C++ before building such applications. The purpose of this book is to lay that foundation by learning the C++ language first. C++ is such a huge language that part of its foundation is provided to you so that you can write your applications by adding to it. A program is made of various objects that you use to build your applications. Some of these objects have already been created and are supplied to you when using an environment such as Bcb. Although you will not see the whole functionality of these objects, you should be aware of which ones exist and how to use them. These objects are provided in files...

Linux Networking

This tutorial covers TCP/IP networking and system configuration basics. Linux can support multiple network devices. The device names are numbered and begin at zero and count upwards. For example, a computer running two ethernet cards will have two devices labeled /dev/eth0 and /dev/eth1. Linux network configuration, management, monitoring and system tools are covered in this tutorial.TCP/IP Network Configuration Files:File: /etc/resolv.conf - host name resolver configuration filesearch name-of-domain.com - Name of your domain or ISP's domain if using their name servernameserver XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX - IP address of primary name servernameserver XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX - IP address of secondary name serverThis configures Linux so that it knows which DNS server will be resolving domain names into IP addresses....

VBScript

VBScript (short for Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an Active Scripting language developed by Microsoft. The language's syntax reflects its pedigree as a limited variation of Microsoft's Visual Basic programming language. VBScript is installed as default in every desktop release of the Windows Operating System (OS) since Windows 98, and may or may not be included with Windows CE depending on the configuration and purpose of the device it is running on. It initially gained support from Windows administrators seeking an automation tool more powerful than the batch language first developed in the late 1970s. A VBScript script must be executed within a host environment, of which there are several provided on a standard install of Microsoft Windows (Windows Script Host, Windows Internet Explorer)....

User Equipment1. 3G Systems3G Systems are intended to provide a global mobility with wide range of services including telephony, paging, messaging, Internet and broadband data. International Telecommunication Union (ITU) started the process of defining the standard for third generation systems, referred to as International Mobile Telecommunications 2000 (IMT-2000). In Europe European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) was responsible of UMTS standardisation process. In 1998 Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) was formed to continue the technical specification work. 3GPP has five main UMTS standardisation areas: Radio Access Network, Core Network, Terminals, Services and System Aspects and GERAN.3GPP...

ATM-to-the-Desktop Environment

1 PrefaceThis Redpaper describes experiences made during installation of an ATM to the desktopnetwork in a Windows NT 4.0 Server/Workstation environment. It covers the physical and logical network design, the reasons for it, the problems faced and how to solve them. It also describes the dependencies and peculiarities of a multiprotocol and/or multihomed Windows NT installation running on an ATM to the desktop emulated LAN. Hopefully this document will help to avoid any of these problems in other installations.2 About the AuthorMatthias Enders is a Networking Specialist in Germany. He has nine years of experience in the networking field. His areas of expertise include TCP/IP, campus LAN products and LANprotocol analysis as well as multiprotocol network design and implementation. He has written...
