С помощью Adobe Photoshop 5.5 вы сможете создать яркий запоминающийся образ и с одинаковой легкостью адаптировать дизайн к помещению его на сайт или к печати. Вместо адской смеси различных программ, необходимых для создания комплексного веб-дизайна, вы теперь можете обратиться к одному первоклассному продукту. Полиграфист, профессионально работающий с допечатными процессами, Веб-мастер или Веб-креатор - все найдут в Photoshop 5.5 набор инструментов для создания лучшего решения в своей области. Adobe Photoshop 5.5 предлагает серию новых возможностей для веб-оптимизации файлов, позволяющую создавать высококачественную веб-графику с минимальными размерами файлов: вы можете сравнить несколько версий файла с различными установками степени сжатия, цветовых настроек и установок браузера в новом окне LiveView. С помощью этого инструмента вы сможете точно балансировать между качеством графики и ее размером. (См. "Оптимизация графики для Веб" www.illustrator.ru/articles/ software/Graphics_to_Web.pdf) Photoshop предлагает новую опцию GIF-формата: сжатие с потерей информации, позволяющее сократить размер файлов на 260-50% при минимальных потерях в качестве. Пакет Adobe Photoshop 5.5 включает в себя компонент ImageReady 2.0 для решения "продвинутых" веб-задач, таких как резка изображений на составные части, создание ролловеров, динамическая анимация и image maps. Этот компонент настолько интегрирован с Photoshop, что вы без труда будете работать с ними обоими. Более того, в одной программе вы сможете откатить операции, сделанные в другой, сохраняя слои и эффекты файла. Кроме этого, Photoshop включил в себя несколько креативных функций, рекомендованных пользователями. Теперь вы можете работать с новым инструментом выделения, более удобным в использовании и более точным в определении границ выделяемой области. Новая Art History Brush позволяет раскрашивать изображение мазками с цветом из выбранного источника из палитры History или Snapshot. Появились новые возможности у функции contact sheet, благодаря которым вы можете экспортировать одну картинку в разных размерах в виде набора. Вы также можете разместить на листе несколько картинок или организовать их в виде веб-галереи. Вместе все эти нововведения делают функциональность Adobe Photoshop 5.5 еще более совершенной. В этом документе рассмотрены новые мощные инструменты для работы с Веб-графикой, а также новые креативные возможности.

A Web server is the server software behind the World Wide Web. It listens for requests from a client, such as a browser like Netscape or Microsoft's Internet Explorer. When it gets one, it processes that request and returns some data. This data usually takes the form of a formatted page with text and graphics. The browser then renders this data to the best of its ability and presents it to the user. Web servers are in concept very simple programs. They await for requests and fulfill them when received.

This book is a work of interpretation not prophecy. In an area where there is an endless stream of technical innovations, it would be foolish in the extreme to try to predict what might or might not be the ultimate success of automated systems in dealing with problems or questions of translatability. Its aim is rather to understand in a broader sense the implications for language, culture, and society of translation’s engagement with technology. In order to do this, it takes in disciplinary perspectives from anthropology to zoology and deals with historical examples ranging from the river settlements of the Tigris and the Euphrates, to the changing fortunes of the Australian military in the contemporary world. Throughout the book, there is a deliberate avoidance of the idle partitioning of evidence, and literary translation is discussed alongside technical, commercial, and scientific translation. There is repeatedly the contention that technology is not simply an accessory, an adjunct to translation, but that it has been central to the definition of translation activity in many different societies and in many different historical periods up to and including, of course, our own.

This book was based on Allen Downey's How to Think Like a Computer Scientist, a clear and helpful first-year computer science textbook, which was also released under GNU Free Documentation License. The book's goal is to teach you to think like a computer scientist. This way of thinking combines some of the best features of mathematics, engineering, and natural science. Python was chosen to translate Allen's original Java version because it provides a really nice balance between the practical and the conceptual. Since Python is interpreted, beginners can pick up the language and start doing neat things almost immediately without getting lost in the problems of compilation and linking. Furthermore, Python comes with a large library of modules that can be used to do all sorts of tasks ranging from web-programming to graphics. Having such a practical focus is a great way to engage students and it allows them to complete significant projects.
