LyX | LyX – The Document Processor
LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based on the structure of your documents (WYSIWYM), and not simply their appearance (WYSIWYG).
LyX combines the power and flexibility of TeX/LaTeX with the ease of use of a graphical interface. This results in world-class support for creation of mathematical content (via a fully integrated equation editor) and structured documents like academic articles, theses, and books. In addition, staples of scientific authoring such as reference list and index creation come standard. But you can also use LyX to create a letter or a novel or a theatre play or film script. A broad array of ready, well-designed document layouts are built in.
LyX is for people who want their writing to look great, right out of the box. No more endless tinkering with formatting details, “finger painting” font attributes or futzing around with page boundaries. You just write. On screen, LyX looks like any word processor; its printed output — or richly cross-referenced PDF, just as readily produced — looks like nothing else.
LyX is released under a Free Software / Open Source license, runs on Linux/Unix, Windows, and Mac OS X, and is available in several languages.

Downloadable book: Design and build sites for Office SharePoint Server 2007
This guide provides prescriptive guidance that can help you and your team build custom enterprise sites by using Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 — such as company-wide portal sites or Internet presence sites. Custom sites based on Office SharePoint Server 2007 combine coded elements, such as workflows, document converters, and Web Parts, along with content, such as master pages, layout pages, graphics files, and Web pages. Best practices for developing these sites include setting up multiple environments for developing, integrating, piloting, and deploying coded elements and content from one environment to another. Therefore, coordinating the development and deployment of an enterprise site based on Office SharePoint Server 2007 is a complex activity. This guide describes the ways you can set up the multiple environments used in the development process and the methods for deploying content and code from one environment to another.
The content in this book is a copy of selected content in the Office SharePoint Server technical library (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=84739) as of the publication date. For the most current content, see the technical library on the Web.

One Man Think Tank Gedanken: Technologiedämmerung – Nur konstantes Beobachten hilft
Welche Technologien bringen eigentlich ‘was? Wann lohnt es sich aufzuspringen? Diese und ähnliche Fragen höre ich immer wieder von Konferenzteilnehmern oder bei Beratungen. Sie sind Zeichen der Ratlosigkeit angesichts einer kaum mehr überschaubaren Zahl von technologischen Optionen. Wer eine Fachzeitschrift wie die dotnetpro liest, der hat deshalb Anspruch, dass sie ihn darüber informiere, was lohnt und was nicht lohnt.
