Scaling your Application Across Nodes with Spring Python's Remoting
by
Greg L. Turnquist | May 2010 | Open Source Web Development
Spring Python offers a clean cut way to take simple applications and split them out between multiple machines using remoting techniques that can be seamlessly injected without causing code rewrite headaches. Spring Python makes it easy to utilize existing technologies, while also being prepared to support ones not yet designed.
In this article by Greg Lee Turnquist, author of Spring Python 1.1, we will learn how:
- Pyro provides a nice Python-to-Python remoting capability to easily create client-server applications
- Spring Python seamlessly integrates with Python so that your application doesn't have to learn the API
- You can convert a simple application into a distributed one, all on the same machine
- It takes little effort to rewire an application by splitting it up into parts, plugging in a round-robin queue manager, and running multiple copies of the server with no impact to our business logic
Scalix and Security
by
Markus Feilner | March 2009 | Linux Servers Open Source
The standard setup of the Scalix server may be satisfactory for most installations, but if you are running Scalix on an internet site or if your local server is available from the Internet, extended security measures have to be taken. In this article by Markus Feilner, we will deal with several recommendations that make your Scalix server safe—like minimizing the number of services running and listening. We will set up a firewall which allows the Scalix users to connect to. After that, we will set up Stunnel to provide SSL-encrypted Scalix services. Then, we will use OpenVPN to protect the server. Last but not least, we will have a look at the services running and discuss advanced possibilities of securing the server.

by
Deepak Vohra | March 2009 | Oracle
XDK 11g provides the Simple API for XML (SAX) and the Document Object Model (DOM) API for parsing an XML document. XDK 11g is included with JDeveloper 11g. XDK 11g parsers DOMParser and SAXParser may be configured for schema validation. In the previous article we discussed validating an XML document with an XML schema using XSDValidator. In this article by Deepak Vohra, we will discuss the procedure to validate an XML document with the SAXParser and the DOMParser.

by
Deepak Vohra | February 2009 | Oracle
An XML schema document defines the structure, content, and semantics for XML documents. We know the procedure to create an XML schema in JDeveloper and an XML document instance that conforms to the schema. But if you receive XML documents from another party, the validity of the documents has to be ascertained before the documents may be read and processed. This article by Deepak Vohra is about—validating an XML document with an XML schema. An instance document may be processed against a schema to verify whether the XML document conforms to the rules specified in the schema, a process called schema validation.

by
Francisco J. Blanco-Silva | April 2013 | Open Source
In this article by Francisco J. Blanco-Silva, the author of Learning SciPy for Numerical and Scientific Computing, we will cover the routines in the scipy.spatial module that deal with the construction of triangulations of points in spaces of any dimension, and the corresponding convex hulls. The procedure is simple; given a set of m points in the n-dimensional space (which we represent as an m x n NumPy array), we create the scipy.spatial class Delaunay , containing the triangulation formed by those points.

Scribus: Creating a Layout
by
Cedric Gemy | January 2011 | Open Source
Layouts can be visualized in our minds, but doing it with Scribus will be a manual job, and it's time to practice. This article will lead you through several design steps and will show some of the Scribus workflow basics in action. As an example, we'll design one of the simplest documents in terms of functionality: a business card. In this article by Cedric Gemy, author of Scribus 1.3.5 Beginner's Guide, we shall:
- Create a document
- Create and transform frames
- Import text and images

If you were asked for the subject of a previously published document without images, which you've read, would you have an answer? I'm not sure you would. Most of the documents now-a-days contain pictures, and computer assisted layout has really made photo placement and handling easy. So you will certainly need to import pictures, either one per day or may be several each day.
In this article by Cedric Gemy, author of Scribus 1.3.5 Beginner's Guide, we'll provide you with the information that will help you secure the formatting and printing of your photos. We will see how to import photos, keep them where we place them, and make sure that they are always where they have been placed, especially in relation to your layout and your original photos.

Cedric Gemy | December 2010 | Beginner's Guides Open Source
In the previous article, Working with Colors in Scribus, we have used only default, primary colors. It's incredible how many things you can do with one single color or a small set of them. Even though black is still the most important color, you will certainly need custom colors very soon.
In this article by Cedric Gemy, author of Scribus 1.3.5 Beginner's Guide, we will cover the following:
- Use some transparency options
- Set the color management render engine

Seam Data Validation
by
David Salter | May 2009 | Java Open Source Web Development
Seam can act as JSF backing beans and as the glue between our server-tier Session Beans and our web-tier JSF pages. Unfortunately, though, users could easily break our sample application by entering invalid data (for example, entering blank values or non-numeric values into the edit boxes). Seam provides validation tools to help us to make our application more robust and provide feedback to our users. In this article by David Salter, let's look at these tools.
