CJKV Information Processing - New From O'Reilly
Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese Computing

Sebastopol, CA--First published a decade ago, "CJKV Information
Processing" (O'Reilly, US $59.99) quickly became the most complete and
trusted source of information on processing text in Chinese, Japanese,
Korean, and Vietnamese. Updated by its original author, Ken Lunde, a
senior computer scientists in CJKV Type Development at Adobe Systems, the
book provides web and application developers with the latest techniques
and tools for disseminating information directly to audiences in East
Asia. This second edition reflects the considerable impact that Unicode,
XML, OpenType, and newer operating systems such as Windows XP, Vista, Mac
OS X, and Linux have had on East Asian text processing in recent years.

The book will help you:

- Learn about CJKV writing systems and scripts, and their transliteration
methods
- Explore trends and developments in character sets and encodings,
particularly Unicode
- Examine the world of typography, specifically how CJKV text is laid out
on a page
- Learn information-processing techniques, such as code conversion
algorithms and how to apply them using different programming languages
- Process CJKV text using different platforms, text editors, and word
processors
- Become more informed about CJKV dictionaries, dictionary software, and
machine translation software and services
- Manage CJKV content and presentation when publishing in print or for the
Web

Internationalizing and localizing applications is paramount in today's
global market--especially for audiences in East Asia, the
fastest-growing segment of the computing world. "CJKV Information
Processing" will help you understand how to develop web and other
applications effectively in a field that many find difficult to master.

Ken Lunde earned a PhD degree in linguistics from UW-Madison, and has
worked for Adobe Systems Incorporated since 1991, where he is a Senior
Computer Scientist in CJKV Type Development. He lives and works in San
Jose, CA.
