Case Studies on Digital Government

• Hardcover: 384 pages
• Publisher: IGI Global (March 30, 2007)
• Language: English
• ISBN-10: 1599041774

IT practitioners in government and computer science programs represent a significant population of professionals constantly attempting to obtain information on the latest research in public management, digital government, and other governmental information management subject matter. Case Studies on Digital Government is the first book dedicated to detailed case studies of information management in government. Case Studies on Digital Government includes cases from local, state, Federal, and international governments, covering a wide variety of technologies such as geographic information systems, enterprise resource planning, Web-Based customer response systems, and cross-agency shared systems. It contains case studies written by practitioners, while most case studies in the public sector have been written by researchers. The practitioners in-depth knowledge bring a reality to the cases that readers will find stimulating as well as instructive.

About the Author

How Computers Work: Processor and Main Memory

• Paperback: 152 pages
• Publisher: 1st Books Library (August 1, 2002)
• Language: English
• ISBN-10: 1403325820

The book is as simple as possible and aimed at a non-technical audience with absolutely no knowledge of computers or electronics, but it is an electrical engineering text. A typical page consists of a circuit diagram (or program) and a paragraph or two of explanation. The book begins with a VERY simple circuit and continues to a very complex circuit (a computer) while explaining everything. Everything has been made as simple as possible while leaving nothing out. Eighty-four circuit diagrams and some timing diagrams and short programs make every point clear.

Computers are the most complex machines that have ever been created. This is the first book to make it possible for ordinary people to understand precisely how the processor, the main and most complex part of a computer, works. In fact, it completely explains the operation of a complete, though simple, computer.

Relays, which are explained, are used in the circuitry instead of transistors for simplicity, though transistors are mentioned.

Did you ever wonder what a bit, a latch, a word (of memory), a data bus, an address bus, a memory, a register, a processor, a timing diagram, a clock (of a processor), an instruction, or machine code is? Though most explanations of how computers work are a lot of analogies or require a background in electrical engineering, this book will tell you precisely what each of them is and how each of them works without requiring any previous knowledge of computers or electronics.

From the Author
TARGET AUDIENCE: Anyone who has used a computer and is interested in how it works but who has no knowledge of electronics or programming.

WHAT MAKES THE BOOK DIFFERENT: The fact that it actually and completely explains how computers work while simultaneously requiring no knowledge of computers or electronics. There are books that require no electrical engineering background and purport to explain how computers work. Unfortunately, they don’t explain how computers work. Computers are quite complex. There are books that explain how computers work, but they require a background in electrical engineering.

Next-Generation Web Frameworks in Python

• First Edition: April 2007




• ISBN 10: 0-596-51371-2

With its flexibility, readability, and mature code libraries, Python is a natural choice for developing agile and maintainable web applications. Several frameworks have emerged in the last few years that share ideas with Ruby on Rails and leverage the expressive nature of Python. This Short Cut will tell you what you need to know about the hottest fullstack frameworks: Django, Pylons, and TurboGears. Their philosophies, relative strengths, and development status are described in detail.

What you won’t find out is, “Which one should I use?” The short answer is that all of them can be used to build web applications- the challenge for the reader is to find the one that fits his or her project or coding style best.
