Groovy Recipes: Greasing the Wheels of Java


Groovy Recipes: Greasing the Wheels of Java
2008 - 254 Pages - PDF - 2.85 MB


Each recipe in Groovy Recipes begins with a concise code example for a quick start, followed by in-depth explanation in plain English. These recipes will get you to-to-speed in a Groovy environment quickly.

You'll see how to speed up nearly every aspect of the development process using Groovy. Groovy makes mundane file management tasks like copying and renaming files trivial. Reading and writing XML has never been easier with XmlParsers and XmlBuilders. Breathe new life into Arrays, Maps, and Lists with a number of convenience methods. But Groovy does more than just ease traditional Java development: it brings modern programming features to the Java platform like closures, duck-typing, and metaprogramming.

As an added bonus, this book also covers Grails. You'll be amazed at how quickly you can have a first-class web application up and running from ground zero. Grails includes everything you need in a single zip file⎯a web server (Jetty), a database (HSQLDB), Spring, Hibernate, even a Groovy version of Ant called GANT. We cover everything from getting a basic website in place to advanced features that take you beyond HTML into the world of Web Services: REST, JSON, Atom, Podcasting, and much much more.

Ultimatte AdvantEdge v1.6.2


Ultimatte AdvantEdge v1.6.2
Size: 18.58 MB


Ultimatte AdvantEdge offers the very best compositing plugin for Final Cut Pro, Shake, After Effects, Photoshop, Combustion, Premiere Pro, Digital Fusion, eyeon Vision, eyeon Rotation, Avid Symphony, Media Composer, Media Composer Adrenaline, Xpress, Xpress Pro, Xpress DV, DS, DS Nitris, and other editing software.

Now you can combine multiple frame images in just minutes on a Windows, Macintosh or SGI workstation.

Fine hair detail, water, shadows, smoke, glass and reflections, even blurred edges -all composited flawlessly and automatically with Ultimatte!

Ultimatte plug-ins offer an unparalleled method of combining multi-frame images to produce a composited sequence of images. They allow you to achieve realistic looking composited scenes with the same Academy-Award winning technology that has made Ultimatte world-famous.

Features :

Platform protection
AdvantEdge users get twice the flexibility because it comes ready to go to work on Windows NT/2000/XP, Mac OS 9/OS X, and Red Hat Linux for the one low price.

Stylish user interface with automated controls
The user interface has been designed to automate the control settings by easily sampling different parts of the image or matte with a simple eyedropper cursor. Once a sample has been taken the software automatically sets multiple controls to find the best adjustment.

Fully-linear mask
Eliminates hard edges -- fine detail, blurred images, transparencies and shadows visible in the foreground image will all reproduce in the final composite.

Video Correction
AdvantEdge is the worlds first matte generation tool with video correction filtering (VCF) for the 4:1:1, 4:2:0, and even 4:2:2 digital video formats. VCF restores the lost color information in compressed video formats and greatly reduces the blocky artifacts found in most blue/greenscreen composites using DV footage.


Advanced Spill Suppression and Clean Up controls
Automatically removes discoloration of foreground subjects caused by light reflecting from the blue or green stage. Removing excessive backing color spill from the foreground subject has been automated by sampling the contaminated area with the eyedropper cursor and watching AdvantEdge wash away the spill. Also Matte Clean Up now has individual controls for softening and shrinking the matte.

Roto Screen Correction
A revolutionary method for making poorly shot footage usable by automatically creating an articulate roto-mask to isolate the foreground without the tedious and labor intensive work of traditional rotoscoping.

Smart Matte Sizing
A totally new approach to computing the matte density without allowing the matte to become over dense. Over dense mattes are the most common mistake made in creating traveling mattes. With Smart Matte Sizing it is virtually impossible to over dense the matte.

Color Conformance
Matches the look of the foreground to the background for absolute realism.

External matte
Allows overlaying an externally-generated mask to "extend" the blue or green screen so that wide-angle and long shots can be composited even though they overshoot the screen.

Compatible hosts (Windows NT/2K/XP)
- Adobe Photoshop 5.5 and later
- Adobe After Effects 5.0 and later

Hazel watches whatever folders you tell it to, automatically organizing your files according to the rules you create. It features a rule interface similar to that of Apple Mail so you should feel right at home. Have Hazel move files around based on name, date, type, what site/email address it came from (Safari and Mail only) and much more. Automatically put your music in your Music folder, movies in Movies. Keep your downloads off the desktop and put them where they are supposed to be.


More than just filing
Hazel can open, archive, set color labels and add Spotlight comments. In addition, you can have Hazel rename your files or sort them into subfolders based on name, date or whatever combination of attributes you choose. With Hazel's rule-based engine, you can create powerful workflows to automatically organize and process your files.

App Sweep
When you throw away applications, they can leave behind support files that never get cleaned up. With Hazel's App Sweep, Hazel will detect when you throw applications away, search for its support files and offer to throw those away as well. Uninstalling applications is integrated with your Trash so you don't even have to think about it.


iLife Support
Hazel features new actions to import your files into iPhoto or iTunes. Keep your media in line. Add to your library or to a specific playlist or photo album.

Spotlight Integration
Improved Spotlight integration allows you to use any Spotlight attribute in your rules. Filter files based on Spotlight attributes or use them in conjunction with the new renaming and sorting actions. Sort your photos by aperture or shutter speed or rename your music files with artist, album and year. Make your metadata work for you.


Hazel cleans as well
Hazel has options to clean out those pesky unneeded files that clutter your folders, getting rid of incomplete and duplicate downloads for you. And, of course, you can set up whatever rules you want to automatically throw files away.

Never take out the trash again
You can have Hazel manage your Trash. Select from different options to keep your Trash in check. And for extra security, Hazel can also shred files like Finder's "Secure Empty Trash" option.

Extend, Customize, Integrate
Hazel's rules can trigger Automator workflows, AppleScripts and shell scripts. Hazel will run whatever you throw at it, making it easy for you to integrate into your workflow.


Work undisturbed
Hazel works quietly in the background allowing you to focus on your real tasks. Just set up your rules via a System Preferences pane and let Hazel do its job. Hazel tries not to hog up resources. You won't notice it's there but you'll notice when it's gone.

    PHP 6 and MySQL 5 for Dynamic Web Sites


    PHP 6 and MySQL 5 for Dynamic Web Sites
    2008 - 641 Pages - PDF - 10.58 MB


    It hasn't taken Web developers long to discover that when it comes to creating dynamic, database-driven Web sites, MySQL and PHP provide a winning open source combination. Add this book to the mix, and there's no limit to the powerful, interactive Web sites that developers can create. With step-by-step instructions, complete scripts, and expert tips to guide readers, veteran author and database designer Larry Ullman gets right down to business: After grounding readers with separate discussions of first the scripting language (PHP) and then the database program (MySQL), he goes on to cover security, sessions and cookies, and using additional Web tools, with several sections devoted to creating sample applications.

    This guide is indispensable for intermediate- to advanced level Web designers who want to replace their static sites with something dynamic. In this edition, the bulk of the new material covers the latest versions of both technologies: PHP 6 (due out in 2008) and MySQL 5 (available now). The book's publication date is likely to beat the official release of PHP 6, making it one of the first books available on the subject.

    Size: 5.63 MB


    R-Studio is a family of powerful and cost-effective undelete and data recovery software. Empowered by the new unique data recovery technologies, it is the most comprehensive data recovery solution for recovery files from FAT12/16/32, NTFS, NTFS5 (created or updated by Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista), HFS/HFS+ (Macintosh), Little and Big Endian variants of UFS1/UFS2 (FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD/Solaris) and Ext2FS/Ext3FS (Linux) partitions. It functions on local and network disks, even if such partitions are formatted, damaged or deleted. Flexible parameter settings give you absolute control over data recovery.


    R-Studio utilities recover files:
    :: Deleted without Recycle Bin, or when Recycle Bin has been emptied;
    :: Removed by virus attack or power failure;
    :: After the partition with the files was reformatted, even for different file system;
    :: When the partition structure on a hard disk was changed or damaged. In this case, R-Studio utilities can scan the hard disk trying to find previously existed partitions and recover files from found partitions.
    :: From hard disk with bad sectors. R-Studio Data Recovery Software can first copy the entire disk or its part into an image file and then process such image file. This is especially useful when new bad sectors are constantly appearing on the hard disk, and remaining information must be immediately saved.

    Joomla Template Maker


    Joomla Template Maker
    Size: 22.39 MB


    "Who Else Wants An Easy Way To Create Their Joomla Templates WITHOUT All The Hassle?"

    Here's a Complete Solution and you, DON'T need any HTML or PHP experience.
    What comes with the package?
    You receive the following:
    * Complete Windows Application
    * “How to” Movie
    * Documentation Package

    Quite Simply it takes your graphic images and creates a complete template zip file ready to load into Joomla. It does what it says quickly and cleanly. Technically - It creates a 100% width ‘autostretch’ 3 column layout. The layout is 3 seperate 100% tables ’stacked’ vertically-the top table is for the header area, the middle table is for the Joomla left, center and right columns, and the bottom table is for the footer area. Additionally, the middle table will contain a 3 column 100% nested table. In addition we create the valid XML file and CSS descriptors all ready to run.

    I was totally amazed when I first started using Joomla. For what was a BRILLIANT Content Management System, it seems to me so complex when it came to designing the Templates. Arcane instructions left me bewildered. I really didn't know which way to turn.

    I began by 'buying in' ready made templates and trying to convert them. But there was something missing. Trying to embed my own graphics was a nightmare. What I needed was a simple way to take my own graphic headers etc and create a Joomla Template Package ready to rock 'n roll.

    Sure there were plenty of Dreamweaver Add-On's but I need something that would run directly from Windows - a kind of simple Q+A - Fill in the Blanks and Go.

    And so ..... I got it made and I'm passing on the benefits to you.

    Template Creation without even a sniff of Dreamweaver or any other HTML Editor.

    * Stand-Alone Windows Program
    * Creates Complete Zip Template package ready to upload
    * Includes creation of valid XML file - You need to add NOTHING.

    Portable Space Strike 1.02


    Portable Space Strike 1.02
    Size: 15.68 MB


    Space Strike is an action-heavy shoot-em-all space arcade that challenges players to destroy the onslaught of aliens before they wreak havoc on humankind. The game takes players to the year of 2307. It is 50 years since the humans learned to enhance the environment of planets and 15 years since they have started to colonize the Moon. A few hours ago the radars detected a hostile presence within an unexplored area. This is where you step in.

    Assuming the role of a spaceship pilot, you must unleash the fury of an awesome high-tech arsenal that includes impulse guns, quantum lasers, heat-seeking missiles, and much more in order to survive and blast away at alien invaders. You must destroy the alien spacecrafts, tanks, ground facilities and avoid enemy fire by maneuvering out of sticky situations.

    As usual, you begin the game weak and ill-equipped, but over time collect high-tech weaponry and upgrades. While taking on 20 challenging missions across 5 environments, you’ll face many alien types. They range from alien fighter jets to flying insect-like vehicles to ground artillery, tanks and two super powerful bosses. And this is just a taste of what’s to come as you explore the game!
    The combat action is intense, and you won’t even have time to pay attention to the visuals, but Space Strike is one gorgeous game, from the laser shoot-outs and explosions when another alien fighter is down to the stunning special effects when battling giant bosses.

    Game features:

  • 20 challenging missions

  • 5 different landscape types

  • Extraordinarily addictive game play

  • Original soundtrack and powerful sound effects

  • Divo Rating system allowing players to share high-scores all over the world

    Better JPEG 1.7.2.1


    Better JPEG 1.7.2.1
    Edit JPEG photos without losing quality
    Size: 1.62 MB


    The JPEG image format is inherently lossy. Because of this, each edit and subsequent recompression of JPEG images in general purpose image editors, such as Adobe Photoshop, results in a progressive degradation of image quality.

    Fortunately there is, in most cases, a way to avoid this unnecessary recompression. If you just need to quickly process a group of JPEG photos from your latest vacation - rotate, crop, remove red-eye, imprint date or comments - you do not need to compromise on image quality. Better JPEG is a batch JPEG editor that can do all of this without loss of image quality.


    Main Program Features:
  • Lossless Transformations - Rotation, Flip

  • Lossless Crop (free, fixed aspect, fixed size, predefined and user-defined aspects and sizes), composition guidelines (diagonals, golden mean, rule of thirds)
    Lossless Canvas Enlargement

    KitchenDraw 5.0


    KitchenDraw 5.0
    Size: 11.12 MB


    It's now possible to move around in real time in a KitchenDraw scene thanks to the Walkthrough facility. You enter the Walkthrough view mode running the "View Walkthrough" command. You can control the position and the orientation of the observer in the scene with the direction key pad (arrows) and the "Page up" and "Page down" keys.

    The "Top arrow" key allows the observer to go forward and the "Bottom arrow" key allows to go backward.

    The "Left arrow" key rotates the observer toward the left while the "Right arrow" key rotates the observer toward the right.
    The "Page up" key rotates the observer upward and the "Page down" key rotates the observer downward. If the Ctrl key is pressed, the rotations functions turn to move functions.

    The Walkthrough facility is based upon OpenGL and takes benefit from the 3D hardware acceleration provided by modern graphic cards.


    Improved dimensions
    A dynamic and automatic dimensioning facility like the one already existing in KD4.5 for elevation views has been developed for plan views.

    In addition to increase the ease of use, this new feature allows to produce better looking floor plans.

    Furthermore, it's now possible to place angular dimensions as well as radius dimensions. This is particularly useful to establish special worktops plans to the manufacturers.

    Zoom and pan of the current view
    It's now possible to zoom in or to zoom out using the mouse wheel.
    The "interest point " of the zoom is the position of the mouse cursor.
    Rolling the wheel toward yourself carries out a zoom in operation and reciprocally.
    The function is available in all view modes except the Walkthrough mode.

    In KD5.0, it's also possible to move (pan) the current view for example to centre it. To do that, just press the mouse wheel (or the mouse centre button), move the mouse till the view is located where you want, and finally release the wheel (or the mouse centre button).

    Size and precision of the scenes
    The scenes format has been changed with KitchenDraw version 5. Now, the numerical values are 32 bits long.
    Actually that means it's now possible to plan huge scenes with a much better accuracy.
    As an example, it would be possible to plan a scene having a 200 kilometres side with a precision of a tenth of a millimetre.

    In order to take advantage of this new possibility, new measurement units have been introduced:

    :: mm (1 mm) : the dimensions are given in millimetres with a precision of 1 millimetre (without any decimal)
    :: mm (1,0 mm) : the dimensions are given in millimetres with a precision of a tenth of a millimetre (one decimal)
    :: mm (1,00 mm) : the dimensions are given in millimetres with a precision of a hundredth of a millimetre (two decimals)
    :: cm (1,0 cm) : the dimensions are given in centimetres with a precision of 1 millimetre (one decimal)
    :: If you use metric measurements, we now advise that you use the mm (1,0 mm) measurement unit.

    Circle arcs in shapes
    In KitchenDraw 5.0, circles arcs are not transformed into a sequence of linear segments but they keep their circle arc identity.
    This is particularly important when it becomes necessary to send technical plans to the manufacturers (special worktops, etc.) because this allows an automatic integration into the production process.

    It's possible to export special worktops plans (worktops inside shape) as .DXF files and to join them to the supplier order file sent by email.
