JavaScript Bible

noreply@blogger.com (Saving) — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 03:49:00 +0000

Many of the technologies that make the World Wide Web possible have far exceeded their original goals. Envisioned at the outset as a medium for publishing static text and image content across a network, the Web is forever being probed, pushed, and pulled by content authors. By taking for granted so much of the “dirty work” of conveying the bits between server and client computers, content developers and programmers dream of exploiting that connection to generate new user experiences and practical applications. It’s not uncommon for a developer community to take ownership of a technology and mold it to do new and exciting things. But with so many Web technologies—especially browser programming with JavaScript—being within reach of everyday folks, we have witnessed an unprecedented explosion in turning the World Wide Web from a bland publishing medium into a highly interactive, operating system–agnostic authoring platform.

SS7/C7 is a signaling network and protocol that is used worldwide to bring telecommunications networks, both fixed-line and cellular, to life. Setting up phone calls, providing cellular roaming and messaging, and converged voice/data services, such as Internet Call Waiting, are only a few of the vast number of ways that SS7/C7 is used in the communications network. SS7/C7 is at the very heart of telecommunications, and as voice networks and data networks converge, SS7/C7 will provide the technology to bridge the gap between the two worlds. Anyone who is interested in telecommunications should have a solid understanding of SS7/C7. The convergence of voice and data has extended the need to understand this technology into the realm of those working with data networks.

Search Engine Optimization For Dummies

noreply@blogger.com (Saving) — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 06:29:00 +0000

Welcome to Search Engine Optimization For Dummies. What on earth would you want this book for? After all, can’t you just build a Web site, and then pay someone $25 to register the site with thousands of search engines? I’m sure you’ve seen the advertising: “We guarantee top-ten placement in a gazillion search engines!” “We’ll register you in 5,000 search engines today!”

Well, unfortunately, it’s not that simple. (Okay, fortunately for me, because if it were simple, Wiley Publishing wouldn’t pay me to write this book.) The fact is that search engine optimization is a little complicated. Not brain surgery complicated, but not as easy as “give us 50 bucks, and we’ll handle it for you.”

CSS Hacks and Filters Making Cascading Style Sheets Work

I’ll be upfront about it: I wrote this book for myself. I was working on one too many sites with impossible browser-spanning specs while trying to harness the demanding CSS requirements, both self- and client-driven.While I found a wealth of information about CSS hacks and filters on the Web, it was overwhelming. I wanted a central resource that I could rely on to quickly give me the solutions I needed with the deeper understanding I craved. I couldn’t find it in any one place—so I wrote it.

JavaScript in 10 Simple Steps or Less

noreply@blogger.com (Saving) — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 10:37:00 +0000

Since the mid-1990s when Netscape introduced version 2 of its flagship Netscape Navigator browser, JavaScript has been part of the Web development landscape. Providing a mechanism to implement dynamic interactivity in the browser, without connecting to the server, JavaScript is at the core of the Dynamic HTML model, which allows today’s modern browsers to host sophisticated applications and user interfaces.

This book is a recipe book that provides you with quick, digestible examples of how to perform specific tasks using JavaScript. These tasks range from simple tasks such as displaying dynamic output in the browser window to complex tasks such as creating a dynamic, interactive menu system. This book isn’t a tutorial in JavaScript. It is designed to be a useful reference when you are actively engaged in building your Web applications and need quick answers to the question “How do I do this in JavaScript?” For most tasks of low and medium complexity, you will likely find an example in this book. Completing complex tasks can often be achieved by combining more than one sample tasks from the book.

Smart Client Deployment with ClickOnce

noreply@blogger.com (Saving) — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 10:24:00 +0000

IT HAS NEVER been easier to build rich, interactive, stateful applications than it is today with Windows Forms and the .NET Framework 2.0. With the combination of the Windows Forms features and controls and the Visual Studio 2005 design and coding capabilities, you can build rich client applications quicker and better than ever before. However, it doesn’t matter how easy it is to build an application if you fail to get it into your users’ hands. Ask almost any software architect or software project manager what phase of the development lifecycle causes them the most headaches, and you are likely to get “deployment” as the answer from a large percentage of them. The cost and effort involved in successfully deploying an application is often far greater than development organizations plan for. Deploying applications incorrectly can easily corrupt other applications or data on a machine, and wasting resources on complicated deployments keeps you from delivering functionality that users really care about.

Building Web Solution with ASP.NET and ADO.NET

noreply@blogger.com (Saving) — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 06:26:00 +0000

Many years ago, when I was just a shy junior programmer, I had a dream. I dreamt of a (perfect?) world in which I never had to figure out which messages to handle in my Microsoft Windows applications. I often caught myself longing for a time when programmers wouldn’t have to search through the hefty Windows SDK tome looking for undocumented functions. I didn’t want to research and refine the best way to export functions from Microsoft Visual C++ to accommodate incoming calls from Microsoft Visual Basic applications. As a first-year student at the Windows University, I found particularly hostile the different programming models that Windows tools featured. My discomfort was not a matter of preferring one language over another—of course you naturally felt more comfortable with Visual Basic syntax or C++ syntax. The difficulty was more systemic. You had to think of applications in different ways, and then you had to code them to comply with the syntax of each language.

I understand that the most obvious response to this complaint is, “OK, but what about using only one language and one tool for all of your development efforts?” This suggestion is certainly fair, but unfortunately it only partially applies to the world of Windows programming. In Windows applications, you inevitably use diverse tools to build applications and multitier systems.

Perhaps the most revolutionary aspect of the arrival of Microsoft's .NET platform is the standardization of C# and the Common Language Runtime. Now, for the first time, programmers can develop and use open-source projects that are based on a language that is an international standard as well as compatible with both Microsoft and Linux platforms.

Programming Microsoft Access 2000

noreply@blogger.com (Saving) — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 06:20:00 +0000

This book is for database developers who want to use Microsoft Access 2000 to build custom applications. It covers the features that make Access a perennial favorite with developers, as well as the innovations in Access 2000 that you are most likely to use in your programming projects. Numerous programming samples demonstrate the core development techniques and rapid application development tools. The sample designs have been kept simple so you can easily adapt them for your custom applications or apply the techniques in your development work. The book's companion CD contains all the samples in the book as well as many others.

Access is a popular development platform in large measure because it is part of the Microsoft Office suite. Many clients want their Access systems to interoperate with the rest of Office, and they want systems that are transparent and easy to maintain without developer assistance. The techniques described in this book will help you meet these expectations. (For additional support, you can consult two Microsoft World Wide Web sites: www.microsoft.com/office/, which covers Access capabilities in general, and www.microsoft.com/officedev/, which covers the product's developer features.)

This book was written to meet the needs of a variety of readers. Longtime Access developers will find the essential information on the advances introduced in Access 2000. Another target readership is developers who primarily use non-Microsoft technologies, such as dBASE or Paradox. They know all of the development concepts, but they do not necessarily know how to implement those concepts with Access. Finally, this book is for highly motivated power users who want to graduate to developing solutions for others and want to ramp up quickly.

With the advent of ASP.NET we see a shift from traditional scripting to the beginning of full-fledged programming online.VBScript isn’t the only option anymore, as programmers can now employ the full power that lies behind both Visual Basic (VB) and C within their ASP.NET assemblies.

There is no denying the widespread acceptance that .NET received from the developer community. It’s proven itself to be a well-developed framework with solid ideas on how the programming world should continue to change.The introduction of a software solution that enables anyone to code in any language that is compatible with the framework is groundbreaking to say the least.
