This book is intended to provide students with the appropriate mathematical tools and problem-solving experience to successfully compete in high-level problem solving competitions. In each section, the authors attempt to "fill in" the appropriate background and then provide the student with a variety of worked examples and exercises to help bridge the gap between what he or she may already know and what is required for high-level competitions. Answers or sketches of the solutions are given for all exercises. The book makes an attempt to introduce each area "gently" assuming little in the way of prior background - and teach the appropriate techniques, rather than simply providing a compilation of high-level problems.

PHP Oracle Web Development: Data processing, Security, Caching, XML, Web Services, and Ajax
Yuli Vasiliev "PHP Oracle Web Development: Data processing, Security, Caching, XML, Web Services, and Ajax" Packt Publishing | 2007-08-03 | ISBN: 1847193633 | 396 pages | PDF | 3,1 Mb
This practical book for PHP/Oracle developers is built around well explained, easy-to-follow example code to build robust, efficient, secure solutions covering popular current topics on using PHP with Oracle. Assuming no special skill level, experienced author Yuli Vasiliev shows how to install and configure PHP and Oracle; connect PHP to Oracle; move application business logic to Oracle; build transactional applications; use security features; improve performance with caching; employ XML features; implement SOAP web services; build Ajax-driven PHP/Oracle solutions. Building and deploying PHP applications on Oracle Database combines the power and robustness of Oracle with the easy, rapid development of open-source PHP to achieve high-performance, scalable, reliable data-driven web applications with minimal effort. Unlike some other databases, Oracle allows building the key business logic of PHP applications inside the database, moving data processing from web server to database server.
