JavaScript Programmer's Reference

noreply@blogger.com (sinauebook) — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 22:52:00 -0700

The JavaScript language is constantly developing, and continues to increase in popularity. Its evolution into a general purpose scripting language from what started life purely for scripting web browsers, is a great success story. You can now find JavaScript interpreters in many different environments and there are sure to be other new and interesting uses for the language in the future, especially now that embeddable interpreters are available.
In this book, we have attempted to snapshot the browsers that exist currently, which need to be supported by web sites, and collate that information together in a form that has broad scope and is deep enough to be useful on a day-to-day basis. As the language is growing all the time, this is likely to be an ongoing task. download

Beginning Visual Basic .NET Database Programming

noreply@blogger.com (sinauebook) — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 22:49:00 -0700

This book is for programmers with some basic experience of Visual Basic .NET, who want to begin programming database applications. It might be useful if you have some limited experience of Access, although this is not strictly necessary. Note that this book is not an introduction to Visual Basic .NET. If you are completely new to Visual Basic .NET, you will probably find Beginning Visual Basic .NET a better choice to get you off the ground. Likewise, this book is not aimed at getting experienced VB6 developers up to speed with the changes between VB6 and Visual Basic .NET. If you fall into this category, try Professional VB.NET. download

Professional Active Server Pages 3.0

noreply@blogger.com (sinauebook) — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 22:41:00 -0700

This book is about Active Server Pages 3.0, as included with Windows 2000. However, because ASP is now a core part of so many Web-oriented features within Windows, this book covers a far wider area than just how ASP works. ASP is maturing all the time to encompass more integration with other Windows services and software, and so there are many other areas that impinge directly on the use and performance of ASP.

In particular this involves the Windows operating system itself, including the new security features of Windows 2000, and the Internet server software that comes with Windows 2000 – Internet Information Server (IIS). On top of this are the other less obvious services, which also have a direct or indirect effect on the way that ASP works. These include COM+, the various Internet service administration tools, and – indirectly – the many other services and installed software packages that either provide additional functionality to ASP, or which have interfaces that are available for use in ASP. download

Microsoft C# Programming for the Absolute Beginner

ASP - Microsoft ASP.NET Fast & Easy Web Development

noreply@blogger.com (sinauebook) — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 22:09:00 -0700

Readers who are proficient in HTML and have some experience in Web programming can best utilize this book. You will probably benefit more from the book if you have worked on a scripting language before. After reading this book, you will be proficient in ASP.NET and able to create high-performance dynamic Web sites. If this is your expectation, then this book is certainly for you!
Although the book builds from very elementary concepts, it delves into fairly advanced topics that provide valuable information to both novice and expert developers.

Microsoft ADO Net Step By Step (VB.net, C#)

noreply@blogger.com (sinauebook) — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 22:05:00 -0700

ADO.NET is the data access component of Microsoft’s new .NET Framework. Microsoft bills ADO.NET as “an evolutionary improvement” over previous versions of ADO, a claim that has been hotly debated since its announcement. It is certainly true that the ADO.NET object model bears very little relationship to earlier versions of ADO.

This book and practice files were tested primarily using Windows 2000 and Visual Studio .NET Professional; however, other editions of Visual Studio .NET, such as Visual Basic .NET Standard and Visual C# .NET Standard, should also work. download

Programming Visual Basic 2005

noreply@blogger.com (sinauebook) — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 21:59:00 -0700

This is not your typical Visual Basic book.
This is not a reference book. This is not a primer on the language. This is not a book of white papers hyping .NET.
The goal of this book is to make you immediately productive, creating Windows and Web applications using Visual Basic and its associated tools.
By creating applications, you will learn Visual Basic as it has evolved for .NET. You'll see how to use the tools effectively, and you'll learn the details of building robust object-oriented applications.
The focus of this book is on building Windows applications and building Web applications (including Web Services). In a sense, this is really two books in one. The first book could have been called Building Windows Applications with Visual Basic and Visual Studio 2005, and the second Building Web Applications And Web Services with Visual Basic and Visual Studio 2005. By putting them in a single volume, we can combine all the supplemental and background material, and give you more bang for your buck. download

Pro C# 2005 and the .NET 2.0 Platform

noreply@blogger.com (sinauebook) — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 21:57:00 -0700

Pro C# 2005 and the .NET 2.0 Platform, Third Edition is logically divided into five distinct sections, each of which contains some number of chapters that somehow “belong together.” If you read the earlier editions of this text, you will notice some similarities in chapter names, but be aware that just about every page has been updated with new content and expanded examples. You will also notice that some topics in the first and second editions (such as object serialization and the .NET garbage collector) have been moved into a chapter of their very own.
Of course, as you would hope, the third edition contains several brand-new chapters (including a chapter devoted to the syntax and semantics of CIL) and detailed coverage of 2.0-specific features. These things being said, here is a part-by-part and chapter-by-chapter breakdown of the text. download

Inside Java Script

noreply@blogger.com (sinauebook) — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 21:53:00 -0700

This book is designed to be as comprehensive—and as accessible—as is possible for a single book on JavaScript. You'll find JavaScript just about everywhere you look on the Internet today, and even in many places behind the scenes. Thus, you've come to the right place; I believe this book provides the most complete coverage of what's going on in JavaScript as compared to any other JavaScript book today.
We're going to put JavaScript to work in depth, pushing the envelope as far as it can go. The best way to learn any topic such as JavaScript is by example, and this is an example-oriented book. You'll find hundreds of tested examples here, ready to be used.
Writing JavaScript is not some ordinary and monotonous task: It inspires artistry, devotion, passion, exaltation, and eccentricity—not to mention exasperation and frustration. I'll try to be true to that spirit and capture as much of the excitement and power of JavaScript in this book as I can. download

The Ultimate VB.NET and ASP.NET Code Book

noreply@blogger.com (sinauebook) — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 21:51:00 -0700

Have you noticed that the majority of .NET books seem intent on hiding you from real-world code? You can buy a 1,500-page draft excluder, study it intensively for a month, and still be none the wiser as to how to write basic programs. This book isn’t like that.
Within these pages, you’ll learn how to create exciting new XP-style interfaces, and how to code ultra-thin Windows applications that automatically update via the Web. You’ll learn how to apply dozens of ASP.NET secrets, how to push your DataGrid to the max in Windows applications and on the Web, and how to add powerful Google, Amazon, and TerraServer searches to your applications.
You’ll also discover ways to obtain Microsoft code and save hours of development time; you’ll uncover the truth behind creating fast programs that run on anything from PDAs to mobile phones to microwaves; you’ll be exposed to a hidden .NET language; and you’ll find out why you need to know at least some C# (and then be given a cheat course on the basics.)
The useful code and .NET programming tips having been personally developed by the author over the past three years—these aren’t updated Visual Basic 6 code scraps. Everything within these pages has been created and tested for VB .NET and ASP.NET. download

Visual Studio Tools for Office: Using C# with Excel, Word, Outlook, and InfoPath

noreply@blogger.com (sinauebook) — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 21:48:00 -0700

In 2002 the first release of Visual Studio .NET and the .NET Framework was nearing completion. A few of us at Microsoft realized that Office programming was going to miss the .NET wave unless we did something about it.

What had come before was Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), a simple development environment integrated into all the Office applications. Each Office application had a rich object model that was accessed via a technology known as COM. Millions of developers identified themselves as "Office developers" and used VBA and the Office COM object models to do everything from automating repetitive tasks to creating complete business solutions that leveraged the rich features and user interface of Office. These developers realized that their users were spending their days in Office. By building solutions that ran inside of Office, they not only made their users happy, they were also able to create solutions that did more and cost less by reusing functionality already available in the Office applications. download

Professional C#, 3rd Edition

noreply@blogger.com (sinauebook) — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 21:38:00 -0700

If we were to describe the C# language and its associated environment, the .NET Framework, as the most important new technology for developers for many years, we would not be exaggerating. .NET is designed to provide a new environment within which you can develop almost any application to run on Windows, while C# is a new programming language that has been designed specifically to work with .NET. Using C# you can, for example, write a dynamic Web page, an XMLWeb service, a component of a distributed application, a database access component, or a classic Windows desktop application. This book covers the .NET Framework 1.1, the second release of the framework, though most of this book also applies to .NET Framework 1.0. If you are coding using version 1.0, then you might have to make some changes, which we try to note throughout the book. download
