Asterisk : The Future of Telephony
by Jim Van Meggelen, Jared Smith, Leif Madsen
Amazon
Product Description
Asterisk's flexibility comes at a price, however: it's not a simple system to learn, and the documentation
is lacking. Asterisk: The Future of Telephony solves that problem by offering a complete roadmap for installing,
configuring, and integrating Asterisk with existing phone systems. Our guide walks you through a basic dial plan
step by step, and gives you enough working knowledge to set up a simple but complete system.
What you end up with is largely up to you. Asterisk embraces the concept of standards-compliance, but also gives
you freedom to choose how to implement your system. Asterisk: The Future of Telephony outlines all the options,
and shows you how to set up voicemail services, call conferencing, interactive voice response, call waiting, caller
ID, and more. You'll also learn how Asterisk merges voice and data traffic seamlessly across disparate networks.
And you won't need additional hardware. For interconnection with digital and analog telephone equipment, Asterisk
supports a number of hardware devices.

Beyond Java
by Bruce Tate
Amazon
Product Description
Bruce Tate, author of the Jolt Award-winning Better, Faster, Lighter Java has an intriguing notion about
the future of Java, and it's causing some agitation among Java developers. Bruce believes Java is abandoning
its base, and conditions are ripe for an alternative to emerge.
In Beyond Java, Bruce chronicles the rise of the most successful language of all time, and then lays out, in
painstaking detail, the compromises the founders had to make to establish success. Then, he describes the
characteristics of likely successors to Java. He builds to a rapid and heady climax, presenting alternative
languages and frameworks with productivity and innovation unmatched in Java. He closes with an evaluation
of the most popular and important programming languages, and their future role in a world beyond Java.
If you are agree with the book's premise--that Java's reign is coming to an end--then this book will help
you start to build your skills accordingly. You can download some of the frameworks discussed and learn a
few new languages. This book will teach you what a new language needs to succeed, so when things do change,
you'll be more prepared. And even if you think Java is here to stay, you can use the best techniques from
frameworks introduced in this book to improve what you're doing in Java today.
