An introduction to neural networks
|
|
|
Neural nets may be the future of computing. A good way to understand them is with a puzzle that neural nets can be used to solve. Suppose that you are given 500 characters of code that you know to be C, C++, Java, or Python. Now, construct a program that identifies the codes language. One solution is to construct a neural net that learns to identify these languages. This article discusses the basic features of neural nets and approaches to constructing them so you can apply them in your own coding.

Building management applications with Jiro and WBEM
|
|
|
This article shows you how to combine and leverage the best parts of Jiro technology and the Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) initiative. Using familiar examples from the previous two articles of this column, this article introduces the WBEM client technologies for accessing and manipulating data in a CIMOM. It then shows you how to access the same data more elegantly and efficiently, by rearchitecting the Jiro management facade to act as the interface to the CIMOM. Finally, he talks about the need for greater standardization of Jiro management facades and discusses the future of management application programming under a combined Jiro and WBEM development platform.

Adding JRuby to your Java Toolbox
|
|
|
JRuby combines the object-oriented strength of Smalltalk, the expressiveness of Perl, and the flexibility of the Java class libraries into a single, efficient rapid development framework for the Java platform. In this third installment in the alt.lang.jre series, Michael Squillace and Barry Feigenbaum introduce JRuby, a sophisticated addition to your Java development toolbox.

Basics of J2ME
|
|
|
The Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME) offers great tools for developers, porting the Java platforms network-centric and platform-agnostic worldview down to memory- and processor-limited devices. This article explains the basics of the J2ME world, showing you the building blocks of the platform and demonstrating a sample application.
