For years now the question has been surfacing in the OpenVMS community "Where are the pimply faced kids?" The other situation which seems to continually occur is a developer of one language suddenly finding themselves having to modify or maintain an application written in a language completely foreign to them. This book was a year long effort to answer both of those questions. It also should help those to work on a good platform. Once the rudimentaries of logging in, symbols, logicals and the various editors are handled this book takes the reader on a journey of development using the most common tools encountered on the OpenVMS platform and one new tool making headway. A single sample application (a lottery tracking system) is developed using FMS and RMS indexed files in each of the covered languages. (BASIC, FORTRAN, COBOL and C/C++). The reader is exposed on how to use CDD, CMS and MMS with these languages as well. A CD-ROM is included which contains the source, MMS and command files developed through the course of the book. Once RMS has been covered with all of the languages the same application using MySQL with C and FMS is covered. This breaks readers into the use of relational databases if they are not currently familiar with the concept. Rounding out the technical portion of the book is the same application using RDB with FMS. While source code is provided for all of the language implementations only FORTRAN and COBOL are actually covered in the text. It is the hope of the author that this book will prove a useful reference on the desk of every OpenVMS developer. The inclusion of MySQL should benefit both those unfamiliar with relational technology and those platformveterans interested in playing with MySQL for the first time.
Up until this point, most Java programming books attempt to make the reader believe that Java is the way-of-the-future and that all other languages are soon to become obsolete. Not so with this book. The author presents Java with all of its warts while continually comparing it to C++ and sometimes C. He admits not being a fan of Java and assumes you are only interested in learning it because your superiors are forcing a Java project upon your OpenVMS system (this is probably more true than not).
Designed for teaching at Council of Europe language level CEF - C1. Where CEF is Common European Framework. Advanced Level English Course (also suitable for native speakers as General Studies). ‘Relatively Speaking’ charts the course of civilisation in approximately 20 hours! Written as an on-going role play, or suggestopedic polylogue. ‘Relatively Speaking’ presents a lot of information in a lively and challenging way, and offers a great deal of scope for creative development. Participants join a whistle-stop tour taking in the caves of Lascaux, the island of Samos, the Great Wall of China, Galileo’s Venice, Newton’s Cambridge, Mendel looking at peas in his monastery garden, Einstein lecturing – and many other landmarks of inspiration which shape the way we understand our world today. Exercises, memory maps, activations, discussion follow up Teaching notes and visuals on CDROMs, or audio CDs of reading of text are supplied separately This is not just a ‘history lesson in English’ but a valuable consideration of ideas and ethics. “Creative, humanistic, and stimulating.” “The idea of taking up the history of human civilisation was splendid.”
Flowers are the precious gift which beautify the nature through its different colours and enhance human health. Ornamental plants provide environmental security for immediate living surroundings, thus intensive research in floriculture particularly on the crops were initiated earlier. This book will vividly highlights genetical and breeding application in flower crops covering wide range of aspects. Breeding techniques are largely focused around expediting the production of superior and stable lines in the case of self pollinating crops. Wide hybridization, tissue culture and mutagenesis are employed by breeders to generate new alleles. Broaden available genetic resources; molecular markers are used to assist breeders through marker assisted selection and to identify quantitative trait loci for traits of interest. The book makes the knowhow of breeding in its easiest way to the readers. It has been designed to cover all the aspects of breeding, the basic objectives, different breeding methods, methodology for improvement of specific crops, stress resistance, quality improvement, mutagenesis, molecular breeding and genetic engineering.
