Book Review: Unicode Explained
Cameron Laird
Why is Unicode so hard?
For good reasons: its complications have complications, and it's hard to isolate any part small enough to understand that isn't deeply coupled to much else.

Regular Expressions: Tile makes Tcl look good
Cameron Laird, Kathryn Soraiz
Tile will change the face of computing.
Well, maybe. It could; Tile's a Tcl project, though, and Tcl doesn't operate the same as other languages or programs. So, while Tile might have an enormous effect on standard practices for development of graphical user interface (GUI) projects, there are no guarantees.

Certification: How Prepared are you for e-Biz+?
Emmett Dulaney
An economic downturn is often viewed as a good time to pad the resum with a few certifications. And what can be better padding than one-exam certifications that are good for life, such as those offered by CompTIA?

Book Review: Solaris Systems Programming
Ed Schaefer
Rich Teer is a "self-confessed Sun bigot", and I'm glad he is. This is the rare instance where being a "bigot" is a good thing, because Teer is a well-known Sun consultant with a wealth of Solaris "C" programming experience. Fortunately, he's sharing his experience in his book Solaris Systems Programming. This text covers Solaris OS versions 2.5, 2.6, 7, 8, and 9.

Book Review: Routing TCP/IP, Volume I, Second Edition
Emmett Dulaney
There is no shortage of books that take complex topics and shrink them down to where they just barely fill a 300-page spine. These whimsical digests are simple to write, for if there is anything the writers don't want to spend time on, they simply slap in a sentence saying the topic is outside the scope of this book. They are also simple to read, but you may come away not knowing a great deal more than when you started. These books may introduce you to a topic, but rarely can they help you master it.

Extending Nagios
Jeffrey L. Taylor
Nagios is an open source package for monitoring hosts, services, and networks. The base package is a daemon that collects the data and some CGI scripts to present the data as Web pages. Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier covered Nagios installation and configuration previously in The Open Road: Nagios. Nagios is easily extended with plug-ins and eventhandlers. Plug-ins collect additional types of data. Eventhandlers take action based on alerts generated when user defined thresholds are exceeded. The Nagios Plugins package contains more than 50 plug-ins. This article covers the basics of writing your own plug-ins and eventhandlers.
