Jython is an open source implementation of the high-level, dynamic, object-oriented scripting language Python seamlessly integrated with the Java platform. The predecessor to Jython, JPython, is certified as 100% Pure Java. Jython is freely available for both commercial and noncommercial use and is distributed with source code. Jython is complementary to Java.

The Definitive Guide to Jython, written by the official Jython team leads, covers Jython 2.5 (or 2.5.x)—from the basics to more advanced features. This book begins with a brief introduction to the language and then journeys through Jython’s different features and uses.

The Definitive Guide to Jython is organized for beginners as well as advanced users of the language. The book provides a general overview of the Jython language itself, but it also includes intermediate and advanced topics regarding database, web, and graphical user interface (GUI) applications; Web services/SOA; and integration, concurrency, and parallelism, to name a few.

The author wrote this book because he felt an obligation to God to use the information he received from God in a responsible way to help others come to know more about God, and to give many non-believers more reasons to believe in God, by documenting God''s interaction with him. This book starts with an introduction and a brief history of the author. The author had several incredible personal experiences with God, and this book is especially about one of those experiences. The author states that God gave him a verbal answer to his prayer that revealed more about God and His Kingdom than is currently thought to be true and accepted. The author then felt a need to share with Christians and non-Christians this Godly event and message. The book also gives a simple guide for non-believers to get on track with God. The book details some of the other signs and miracles that happened in the author''s own life. This book also tells of God''s revelation as to where Heaven is, AND where God is --- physically. The author explains that God helped him during several recent personal, medical and financial periods in his life. The book emphasizes that you should always put God #1 in your life, so that you may have access to eternal life as described in the Bible.

With extensive reporting and engrossing storytelling, Jim Baker and Bernard Corbett give us the scenes of one of the NFL''s most successful and popular franchises. Interviews with Giants legends who participated in these historic moments put us behind closed doors in the commissioner''s office during a fixed game in 1946, in the backfield wit Frank Gifford as the Giants advance to the championship in 1958, and in the huddle with Eli Manning as he diagrams the play that would result in the deciding touchdown in the 2008 Super Bowl.

With an eye for memorable details and historical significance, Baker and Corbett let the players themselves tell the war stories that all Giants fans love to relive, and in so doing, construct an engrossing and exciting history of the team and the sport.

The book will also feature revealing statistical sidebars and fresh analysis of the games that throw new light on the history of the team.
