    Tendre Violette

    5 albums | CBR | French | 1680 | 222 Mb


    Synopsis : "Tendre Violette" est l'une des séries mythiques des années 80, ode à la féminité et à la liberté, un hymne à l'indépendance, dû à un Servais qui créait, alors, un véritable style. Un petit bijou, que l'on redécouvre avec un immense bonheur.

    Croyances rurales, légendes et sorcellerie sont au coeur de cette histoire qui nous fait retrouver la volontaire et libre Violette. Violette vit seule, au fond de la forêt. Violette vit libre, une bouteille à la main. Elle connaît les plantes, les animaux, les lois de la nature. Les hommes la cherchent souvent, la trouvent aussi mais ne peuvent pas l'attraper, en tout cas pas plus que ça ; par-ci, par-là, au gré de ses promenades, sans contraintes, mais pas la peine d'essayer de la boucler dans un château, de la ligoter dans une robe et un corset, même si on l'aime et qu'on a les meilleures intentions du monde.

    Les femmes qu'elle fait cocues la haïssent et Violette rit, sa bouteille à la main. Parfois, on cherche aussi vraiment à lui faire du mal, l'accusant de tous les vices et de tous les crimes.
    Violette sait que, pour rester libre, il lui faudra souvent payer le prix fort.

    This study investigates Europe's motives to develop the independent satellite navigation system known as Galileo despite the existence of America's successful global positioning system (GPS). It begins by analyzing both systems to familiarize the reader with global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) and to provide an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of GPS and Galileo, as well as the systems similarities and differences. Although the two systems have different founding principles, they employ similar infrastructures and operational concepts. In the short term, Galileo will provide better accuracy for civilian users until GPS upgrades take effect. But performance is only part of the rationale. The author contends that Europes pursuit of Galileo is driven by a combination of reasons, including performance, independence, and economic incentive.

    Server-Side Flash: Scripts, Databases and Dynamic Development By William B. Sanders, Mark Winstanley


    Publisher: Hungry Minds 2001 | 458 Pages | ISBN: 0764535986 | PDF | 7 MB



    Server-Side Flash: Scripts, Databases, and Dynamic Development fills an important gap in the Flash book market. With the emergence of e-commerce, no Web site is complete without a back end because the back end is the virtual sales connection. Likewise, complex games are dependent on access to huge sets of data that can be sent in small packages, but getting them in and out of Flash requires knowing how the data can be generated in Flash, how it can be sent out to the servers and how it gets information back from the servers and integrates it into the ongoing game.
    While every book on Flash recognizes this new capacity to some extent, none of them have really showed developers how to get the data into and out of Flash and use it effectively. Server-Side Flash gives developers the tools to fully utilize Flash's capacity to communicate with the server side of the Web. PHP/MySQL have over half a million users, ASP has at least as many, and just about every professional Web page now contains at least some JavaScript. Find out how Flash communicates with these other languages and servers with coverage of the use of Macromedia's powerful database Flash product, Generator, and put its use in context with other Flash database techniques and applications.
