This 35 cd box set contains the pianist's complete solo and concerted discs for the Vox, Turnabout, and Vanguard labels, recorded prior to the long affiliation with Philips that helped cement his international career. Although Brendel generally does not look kindly upon his distant discographical past (he apparently "disowns" his world-premiere Prokofiev Fifth Concerto that closes disc 35), he certainly has little for which to apologize here, musically and pianistically speaking.

The book mainly focuses on illustrating and explaining how to build applications that use JavaScript, Ajax, and REST Web Services, along with some user interface issues. Specifically, the following topics are covered: implementing JavaScript unit tests; explaining the intent of Dynamic Languages, Web Services and SOA; defining and implementing contracts using REST; understanding why JavaScript Functions have state; implementing JavaScript "Generics", which are a mixture between real Generics and a replacement algorithm; using code blocks; using functions to make decisions; understanding the difference of JavaScript code that behaves like a value type or a reference type; implementing proxies, delegates, mixins, and overloaded functions; implementing a complete Ajax and Web Service architecture; defining a Web Service using REST; handling large or slow or real-time data sets; implementing shopping cart type architectures; and solving the back button problem using Ajax.

Expert Solutions and State-of-the-Art Code Examples
SOA Using Java Web Services is a hands-on guide to implementing Web services and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) with today’s Java EE 5 and Java SE 6 platforms. Author Mark Hansen presents in explicit detail the information that enterprise developers and architects need to succeed, from best-practice design techniques to state-of-the-art code samples.
Hansen covers creating, deploying, and invoking Web services that can be composed into loosely coupled SOA applications. He begins by reviewing the “big picture,” including the challenges of Java-based SOA development and the limitations of traditional approaches. Next, he systematically introduces the latest Java Web Services (JWS) APIs and walks through creating Web services that integrate into a comprehensive SOA solution. Finally, he shows how application frameworks based on JWS can streamline the entire SOA development process and introduces one such framework: SOA-J.

Abstract Vector #5

La Postface du film India Song (1975) s’organise en plusieurs parties. On assiste tout d’abord au face à face de Dominique Noguez, fin connaisseur de l’ensemble de son œuvre, avec Marguerite Duras, reliant le film aux deux romans dont il émane : Le Ravissement de Lol V. Stein et Le Vice-consul. De nombreux thèmes sont alors abordés : l’enfance, les empreints autobiographiques, les relations entre les différents personnages et les différents films… Les acteurs principaux d’India Song - Delphine Seyrig et Michael Lonsdale, qui incarnaient respectivement Anne-Marie Stretter et le vice-consul de France - se joignent ensuite à la conversation..
