T he first computer programming book I read was titled Programming Windows 3.0 by Charles Petzold. This was around the time when Microsoft Windows 3.0 (circa 1992) once and for all showed the industry that Microsoft was a company with a future. Writing code for Windows back then was complicated by many things: lack of documentation, 16-bit architecture, and the necessity of buying a compiler separate from the software development kit (SDK). Charles's book tied everything together and solved the problem of how to write a program for Windows. Now the problems are quite the opposite: we have too much documentation, we have 64-bit architectures, and everything including the kitchen sink is thrown into a development envir- ment. Now we need to figure out what we actually need. We have too many options-too many ways to solve the same problem. What I am trying to do with this book is the same thing that Charles did for me when I first started out, and that was to help me figure out what I needed to write code. This book is about explaining the Visual Basic programming language in the context of solving problems. Visual Basic has become a sophisticated programming language that can achieve many goals, but you are left wondering what techniques to use when. This book is here to answer your questions. This book is not a reference to all of the features of the Visual Basic programming language.

Ajax is taking us into the next generation of web applications. Ajax has broken the client-server barrier by decoupling the client from the server, but an Ajax application still needs a server to extract content from. The most effective use of Ajax and the server requires an understanding of REST, an architectural style used to define Web services.Ajax Patterns and Best Practices explores dynamic web applications that combine Ajax and REST as a single solution. A major advantage of REST is that, like Ajax, it can be used with today’s existing technologies.This is an ideal book whether or not you have already created an Ajax application. Because the book outlines various patterns and best practices, you can quickly check and verify that you’re building an efficient Ajax application.Inside the book, the patterns will answer the following questions: What is Ajax, and REST, and why do you even care? And if I should care what are some examples of websites that make effective use of Ajax and REST? What are the absolute basics of Ajax and REST and what parts of those basics should I use? How should deal with large amounts of data? Should I cache the data? Should I get the data piece fed to me? (Patterns: Cache Controller, and Infinite Data) People keep telling me that sessions and cookies are bad? Are they bad? What should I do? And while I think about how about generating content for other devices? (Permutations pattern) I want to fix the back-button problem of the HTML browser. (State Navigation pattern) What is the best way to create a mashup? (REST Based Model View Controller pattern) My page has so many links managed by JavaScript, and I am losing control, help me make this more organized! (Decoupled Navigation pattern) I understand that HTTP means I send data to the server, how about the server sending me some data without asking for it? (Persistent Communications pattern) My server side code looks like a mess with tags and code pieces everywhere. How can I organize and make my HTML page behave like a SOA client and use REST based web services? (Content chunking pattern)

This is the first book designed to help Windows developers decide not only which technologies to use but also how to use them. It teaches them to combine the wide variety of technologies that make up Windows DNA into effective solutions for their own enterprise application requirements. The author makes use of his long consulting experience in the client-server world to describe "best practices" that apply to building Windows DNA applications.

These provide complete solutions for form validation, drag and drop functionality, data sorting, data presentation techniques, application architecture, debugging, performance enhancements, server-side techniques for web services, and much more.

The author, an acknowledged expert on the subject of .NET coding style and techniques, explains that good code results from using patterns, but that not all good pieces of code are patterns.

This book examines the realization of spin-squeezed states suitable for atom interferometry. Recipient of the German Physical Society's 2011 Dissertation.

I he title of this book may seem odd; you probably already know how to write code in .NET. But you can always benefit from knowing more. Coders, architects, and developers always strive to do their best, and if given the choice to do something correctly or incorrectly they will do it correctly. So why do we have so many bugs in our code? I could say, "e;Heck, it's all the managers making bonehead decisions."e; It would be a popular answer, but it would not be fair. We have bugs because humans and the communication between humans are imperfect. The other major reason why code has bugs is that people do not have the time or energy to pour resources into specific problems. When you are working on an application, you are confronted with thousands of specific problems, and you have to assign a priority. This is where this book is aimed. I take the time to investigate the specific problems and figure out how to solve them. Your responsibility is to read the solutions and implement them as appropriate.

This book is for anyone who wants to write good C# code-even if you have never programmed before. Writing good code can be a challenge-there are so many options, especially in a .NET language like C#. If you want to really get the best from a programming language, you need to know which features work best in which situations, and understand their strengths and weaknesses. It is this understanding that makes the difference between coding and coding well.Beginning C# 2008: From Novice to Professional, Second Edition has been written to teach you how to use the C# programming language to solve problems. From the earliest chapters and the first introductory concepts, you'll be looking at real-world programming challenges and learning how C# can be used to overcome them. As you progress through the book, the problems become more involved and interesting, while the solutions become correspondingly more complex and powerful as C# features interact to achieve the results that you want.This second edition has been revised and improved to now include the SQL Server 2008 release and explain how you can integrate SQL Server 2008 with your C# applications. By the time you've finished reading this book and worked through the sample exercises, you'll be a confident and very competent C# programmer. You will still have many explorations of the .NET Framework API to look forward to, but you will have a firm foundation to build from, and you will know exactly where to go to find the things that you need to progress confidently in your projects.

Foundations of Object-Oriented Programming Using .NET 2.0 Patterns solves the object-oriented and pattern-programming problem by mixing the two—the book teaches object-oriented concepts using patterns, or a solutions-based approach. The book's material is organized around tasks and patterns, and illustrated through development problems and solutions that include persistence, code efficiency, and good design.This book is of special interest to those who want to learn how to use .NET 2.0 Generics in conjunction with patterns. This unique book is based on the author's lectures, and the information unfolds in a practical manner.
