Learning the Yahoo! User Interface library: Develop your next generation web applications with the YUI JavaScript development library
May 12th, 2009 by Shytex
Learning the Yahoo! User Interface Library introduces the popular open-source YUI JavaScript library and takes the user through each of the fully released components in detail looking at the classes that make up each component and the properties and methods that can be used. It includes a series of practical examples to reinforce how each component should/can be used.¿ Author Dan Wellman takes the reader from beginner to advanced-level YUI usage and understanding. This book is for web developers comfortable with JavaScript and CSS, who want to use the YUI library to easily put together rich, responsive web interfaces. No knowledge of the YUI library is presumed.
The Yahoo! User Interface (YUI) library is arguably the best JavaScript- and CSS-based collection of tools and controls for web development. The YUI team has carefully tested them on all modern browser platforms to assure near 100% compatibility across them all. They provide excellent documentation, both online and downloadable. And it’s all free Open Source.
However, while each component is well documented with text and examples, there remains a need of putting it all together. This book fulfills that need in part. Admittedly, a single application that incorporates a large number of examples would be too complex to follow, but I would have liked to see more interaction. The book is riddled with errors. Most of them, fortunately, are so obvious that you wonder how they escaped an editor.
Dan Wellman is a Brit. His wry British sense of humor makes the book a pleasure to read.

Apache JMeter
May 12th, 2009 by Shytex
In Detail
A bad response time on a website can drive away visitors and prospective customers. To measure what a website can handle, there should be a way to simulate and analyze different load scenarios—this is where a load-testing tool like JMeter comes in. JMeter is a powerful desktop performance tool from the Apache Jakarta project, written in Java, for load-testing web pages, web applications, and other static and dynamic resources including databases, files, Servlets, Perl scripts, Java Objects, FTP Servers, and more.JMeter works by acting as the “client side” of an application, and measures response time. As such, it’s one half of the testing arsenal; the other half consists of a tool to watch metrics on the server side, such as thread counts, CPU loads, resource usage, and memory usage. Although it can’t behave like a browser to measure rich client-side logic such as JavaScripts or Applets, JMeter certainly measures the performance of the target server from the client’s point of view. JMeter is able to capture test results that help you make informed decisions and benchmark your application.
This book introduces you to JMeter (version 2.3) and test automation, providing a step-by-step guide to testing with JMeter. You will learn how to measure the performance of a website using JMeter.
While it discusses test automation generally, the bulk of this book gives specific, vivid, and easy-to-understand walkthroughs of JMeter’s testing tools showing what they can do, and when and how to use them.
What you will learn from this book
- Why automating tests is so useful, and how it will help you to improve performance of your web sites and applications
- Installing, setting up the environment, and running JMeter
- Planning automated tests to provide a thorough insight into application performance, bottle necks, and load bearing capabilities
- Building a test plan to test your websites
- Test web, database, FTP servers and more – so you can get a detailed insight into which parts of your application are holding up performance
- Build more complex test elements using regular expressions and functions
- Capture, process, and analyse test results
Approach
This book is focussed on learning and understanding JMeter. It starts with a basic introduction and installation, followed by using JMeter to test web applications. It proceeds to show how to use JMeter to perform load testing and also to test the functional behavior of the target web application. The discussion continues to include testing servers other than web application servers, and demonstrates the use of some of JMeter’s built-in functions. This book aims to give readers an introductory view of JMeter, and gives a brief and realistic overview to those researching for an ideal testing tool to use in testing projects.The book is written in a straightforward, clear way, with plenty of step-by-step instructions and illustrative screenshots.
Who this book is written for
The ideal readers or users of this book are experienced or novice testers who have been testing manually and now would like to automate their tests. Those testers who are already automating their testing using other tools or testing software may also want to use this book as they look for alternatives. This book would also be a good point for test Managers/Leaders to start doing research on the test automation tool that may best suit their testing needs and of course, their budgetJMeter’s target audience is the testing community, which is generally not the hangout of developers or technical people. Almost anything one would like to do in HTTP testing will be supported by JMeter without requiring any programming.
The user need not have much technical knowledge to work with JMeter. It has a simple-to-use and intuitive drag-and-drop style GUI that helps any non-technical user to get started.

OSWorkflow A Guide for Java Developers and Architects
May 12th, 2009 by Shytex
This book covers all aspects of OSWorkflow for Java developers and system architects, from basics of Business Process Management and installing OSWorkflow to developing complex Java applications and integrating this open-source Java workflow engine with the third-party components Drools for business rules, Quartz for task scheduling, and Pentaho for dashboards. Authored by an active developer of the OSWorkflow project, it gives step-by-step instructions, explaining the basics and clarifying and reinforcing principles with real-life examples. OSWorkflow is a pure Java open-source workflow engine for technical users, who can focus on the business logic and rules without Petri Net or finite state machine coding and easily integrate OSWorkflow into applications to create simple or complex workflows as needed. Because OSWorkflow provides a relatively low-level but highly flexible workflow implementation for Java developers, it is not a quick plug-and-play solution for non-technical users.
