Create applications that deliver interactive content to Cisco IP Phones

• Learn information and techniques vital to building and integrating third-party services for Cisco IP Phones
• Understand the development process using XML and HTTP client and server applications to successfully build a service
• Discover advanced services information about objects, advanced runtime generation, and other XML development tools
• Utilize the provided CallManager Simulator to support an IP phone for development purposes
• Get the most out of your IP phone systems with strategies and solutions direct from the Cisco team

Services on Cisco IP Phones help you enhance productivity, gain the competitive advantage, and even help generate revenue. Services are simply applications that run on the phone rather than on a PC or a Web browser. By developing services tailored to your particular needs, you can achieve unlimited goals.

Cisco AVVID IP Telephony provides an end-to-end Voice over IP solution for enterprises. Part of that solution are Cisco IP Phones, a family of Internet Protocol-based phones. Cisco IP Phones feature a large display, an XML micro-browser capable of retrieving content from Web servers, and the ability to deploy custom services tailored to your organization's or enterprise's needs.

Developing Cisco IP Phone Services uses detailed code samples to explain the tools and processes used to develop custom phone services. You'll learn about XML, CallManager, Cisco IP Phones, and the history behind why Cisco chose XML to deploy phone services. You'll find detailed information to help you learn how to build a service, how to build a directory, and how to integrate your service with Cisco CallManager.

This book complements and expands on the information provided in the Cisco IP Phone Services Software Developer's Kit (SDK). With the information in this book, you can maximize your productivity using the tools provided in the SDK and the custom tools provided on the companion CD-ROM. Beginner and advanced service developers alike benefit from the information in this book. Developing Cisco IP Phone Services represents the most comprehensive resource available for developing services for Cisco IP Phones.

Companion CD-ROM
The CD-ROM contains the sample services that are covered in the book, develop-ment utilities from the Cisco IP Phone Services SDK, and new tools written specifically for this book such as XML Validator. One of the most useful applications on the CD-ROM is the CallManager Simulator (CM-Sim). CM-Sim significantly lowers the requirements for service development. You only need a Windows-based PC with CM-Sim and a Web server running, and one Cisco IP Phone 7940 or 7960.

The past few years have seen the re-emergence of the Balkans as the "cockpit" of Europe. The break up of Yugoslavia, the regional conflict between ethnic groups, the creation of new states like Slovenia and the transformation of existing ones like Albania, have made the area of prime importance in geopolitical terms once again. Reconstructing the Balkans looks at the complex and rapidly changing human geography of the Balkans and considers the cultural, social and political geographies of the region and its neighbours. It provides both an examination of the history of the Balkans emphasising ethnicity and nationality issues and an evaluation of the historical and geographical roots of contemporary Balkan disputes from a range of national viewpoints. Written by acknowledged experts in the field, the book assesses some of the geographical consequences of the region s conflicts and analyses the post-socialist restructuring, reconstruction and reconfiguration regionwide and country by country. It also gives projections of likely regional development trends. This is a unique book as it represents diverse viewpoints from a wide range of ethnic, national and disciplinary approaches. It draws upon expertise from the USA, the UK and everyone concerned with the Balkan regions making it essential reading for analysts and consultants, in banks, funding agencies and government departments. It will also be of interest to advanced students of European Studies, Geography, International Relations, Politics, Development and History..

The word truth presupposes that there are unchanging facts and laws. Are there such things or are there valid, differing truths for each person or belief system?

Take a look at your newspaper, the television programs you watch or the books you read. How do you know what they say is true? What is real and what is fraudulent? Are those conclusions by authorities as concrete as they sound? Which arguments are hiding illogical or irrational ideas?

The public education system rarely teaches people how to think logically or reason through a problem. How many people do you know believe something to be true, yet cannot explain why they accept it as truth?

We all have a worldview which is our belief system that governs all aspects of our lives or is the "glasses" that we perceive the world through. How do these worldviews affect our perception on what is true? Which worldviews are rooted in fact?

Explore how to find truth by first establishing the tools of critical thought. Then subjects that range from history to science to religion will be put to the test.

Reason is only the beginning, not the end..
