Learning a new language cannot be complete without a few 'real world'
examples. 'Hello world!'s and fibonacci sequences are always nice as
an introduction to certain aspects of programming, but soon or later
you crave something meatier to chew on. 'Ruby by Example: Concepts
and Code' by Kevin C. Baird provides a wealth of knowledge via general
to specialized examples of the dynamic object oriented programming
language, Ruby. Want to build an mp3 playlist processor? How about
parse out secret codes from 'Moby Dick'? Read on!

In a perfect world, a book like this wouldn't be necessary anymore, except for the new entries into security. Businesses and organizations would have all gotten the point by now. And yet, gaps in security, flaws in policy and general complacency have made an overview of security just as important today as it was five years ago. In a review of this second edition of Computer Security Basics, however, Robert Slade sums up a resource that could have had potential, but instead, fails to live up to its predecessor.

"Chapter one addresses employee risk, and the fact that people assess risk very
poorly..."
"The fact that security professionals are frequently perceived as problem-creating, rather than problem-solving, is hardly a surprise..."

As is reminiscent of many of the books written by authors for Packt Publishing, the first chapter begins with descriptions and re-introductions to many of the basic networking concepts. These include the OSI model, subnetting, supernetting, and a brief overview of the routing protocols. Chapter 2 discusses the need for network security and how it applies to each of the layers of the OSI model.
