Synopsis

The main aim of this book is to dispel many of the myths and misconceptions that exist in the field of physical intervention in an attempt to help you make a more informed decision when considering your options with regard to either becoming a physical intervention trainer or in commissioning training for your organisation. This book covers all of the main legalities and liabilities in relation to the use of physical intervention, which, due to the changing legal climate that we now find ourselves in, is a very important issue for trainers and organisations alike. It is aimed at providing you with information that will enable you to make better professional choices by helping you improve your knowledge and competence, whilst also helping you reduce your liability and culpability.

About this title

Review:

Measured by the number of transactions, e-mail remains the Internet's most-used function. It's also becoming more flexible and is being incorporated into more apps. This makes David Wood's Programming Internet Email a timely addition to any programmer's shelf.

The book begins with an overview of the SMTP Net e-mail standard and a description of the Net's email architecture. This includes an overview of how Internet mail gateways enable intercommunication with proprietary mail systems. Everything discussed is referred back to the relevant RFCs.

By chapter three you've learned about header formats and discussed the MIME format. Then it's on to security, vCards, authentication and mailbox formats. POP is followed by IMAP and the newer ACAP. Chapter 14 goes further into the Java mail API than anyone should go without safety equipment then in Chapter 15 you finally get to write some code--a Perl replacement for /bin/mail which talks MIME so it can send logs. This is followed by a Java monitor for IMAP and POP mailboxes to replace biff (which tells you mail is waiting). It's unusually useful material for this type of book.

David Wood's spare style imparts information efficiently yet readably. Any enquiring Net user will find 75 per cent of it interesting, and all programmers using the Net should read the rest. --Steve Patient

Review:

'After all the books for users, it's a relief to read David Wood's Programming Internet Email. The text is in the best O'Reilly tradition: concise, technical and free from gush. ' UNIXNT, September 2001 'What can I conclude about this book? It's thorough, that's for sure. It covers more email-related protocols and APIs than I knew about before I started to read this book. Although code snippets from chapter thirteen and later are in Perl and Java only, it wasn't hard to translate these to other languages. All in all, if you need to program some email-related functionality then this book will be a big help.' - Bob Swart, Developers Review, August 2000
