An architectural style of product lines for distributed processing systems, and practical selection method
Authors: Yoshitomi Morisawa, Koji Torii
Venue: ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes (2001)

When implementing an application system in a distributed computing environment, several architectural questions arise, such as how and where computing resources are arranged, and how the communication among computing resources are implemented. To simplify the process of making these choices, we have developed an architectural style for distributed processing system. The style classifies product lines for distributed processing systems into nine categories based on the location of data storage and the style of processing between client and server. This paper describes our architectural style and proposes a simple but practical method to select an appropriate architectural style for developing an application system. We apply this selection method in concrete real application systems.

Sams Teach Yourself Macromedia Flash 5 in 24 Hours, 1st edition
Authors: Phillip Kerman
Venue:  (2000)

:From The Author Although I've been using Flash professionally for years, I wrote this book based on my experiences teaching Flash. I purposely expose the common pitfalls so the reader will develop a foundation of good habits. In addition to the basics, I cover traditional animation techniques, usability concerns, optimization issues (to both keep filesize down and performance up), and methodologies for large projects and team productivity. This book is definitely targeted to those new to Flash but it quickly ventures into intermediate topics. I doubt anyone will complain the book is "too basic". The 24 one-hour lessons are task-oriented where specific topics are explored through doing exercises. Follow up discussions provide a way to apply the acquired skills to applications you may encounter on your own. The tasks are carefully designed to cover a specific feature or technique, but throughout the book follow up discussions and suggestions for real-world applications build upon the tasks. This way, the reader has a clear idea how to apply what they've learned. Flash 5 is an exceptionally deep program. I wrote this for Flash 5 from the ground up (it's not a revised edition). I couldn't cover everything, so I cover just what I think are important foundation skills and habits. Of course I throw in plenty of tips and tricks and my personal opinions, but it's primarily a "basic training". My philosophy is that after developing good habits you'll be free to communicate in a way that will be heard. If you have a creative message to tell the world, I can show you how to use Flash to express it.
