Hardcover: 448 pages
Publisher: Apress (April 28, 2008)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 159059973X

The Microsoft .NET Micro Framework is a small and efficient .NET runtime environment used to run managed code on devices that are too small and resource constrained for Windows CE and the Compact Framework.

Expert .NET Micro Framework will teach you everything you need to know in order to use the .NET Micro Framework to create effective embedded applications. It begins with the basics of accessing hardware and networking before delving deep into the less well–known areas such as cryptography and globalization, and how to use technologies such as wireless communication that are not directly supported by the .NET Micro Framework.

This book is a must if you want to get as much as possible out of the .NET Micro Framework to write powerful embedded applications.

Expert .NET Micro Framework also describes how to use resources, and write globalized and multilingual embedded applications. You will learn how to effectively use binary serialization to store data permanently in flash memory or exchange data with a PDA or PC. Topics like cryptography and encrypted data exchange with a .NET or Compact Framework application are covered.

What you’ll learn

Describes and compares wireless communication technologies and how to use them even if they are not directly supported by the .NET Micro Framework
Describes the whole class library and features of the .NET Micro Framework, illustrated by working examples
Demonstrates how to access hardware components with managed drivers and write applications with a graphical user interface
Includes a detailed description of how to effectively extend or write hardware emulators using undocumented features of the configuration engine and emulator components
- Pro C# 2008 and the .NET 3.5 Platform, Fourth Edition

Who is this book for?

This book is for anyone with an interest in creating embedded systems. Primarily, it is written for the benefit of .NET developers with a background in C#, but it will equally appeal to hardware developers with a background in Assembler, C, or C++ who will be impressed by the benefits that managed code can bring to their devices.

Professional .NET 2.0 Generics

2008-09-15T00:48:00.000+05:30

Paperback: 408 pages
Publisher: WROX (October 17, 2005)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0764559885

The power and elegance of generic types have long been acknowledged. Generics allow developers to parameterize data types much like you would parameterize a method. This brings a new dimension of reusability to your types without compromising expressiveness, type-safety, or efficiency. Now .NET generics makes this power available to all .NET developers. By introducing generic concepts directly into the Common Language Runtime (CLR), Microsoft has also created the first language-independent generics implementation. The result is a solution that allows generic types to be leveraged by all the languages of the .NET platform.

This book explores all aspects of the .NET generics implementation, covering everything from fundamental generic concepts, to the elements of generic syntax, to a broader view of how and when you might apply generics. It digs into the details associated with creating and consuming your own generic classes, structures, methods, delegates, and interfaces, examining all the nuances associated with leveraging each of these language constructs. The book also looks at guidelines for working with generic types, the performance gains achieved with generics, the new generic container libraries (BCL and third party), and key aspects of the underlying .NET implementation.

For those transitioning from C++, the book provides an in-depth look at the similarities and differences between templates and.NET generics. It also explores the syntactic variations associated with using generics with each of the .NET languages, including C#, Visual Basic, J#, and C++.

Foundations of ASP.NET AJAX

2008-09-15T00:43:00.000+05:30

Paperback: 268 pages
Publisher: Apress; 2Rev Ed edition (November 12, 2007)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1590598288

Since the emergence of Google Maps 12 months ago, Ajax programming techniques have become one of the hottest topics in the programming arena. To date, the frameworks available for creating these applications have been complex and have separated the development of the client–side Ajax (on the user’s machine) from the server–side supporting technology (on the company’s machines). This separation has made development slow and difficult.

ASP.NET AJAX is Microsoft’s solution to this problem. ASP.NET AJAX (formerly code–named Atlas) is a set of extensions to the existing ASP.NET 2.0 technology that provides you with a fast-and-simple environment to create Ajax applications. Microsoft has combined Ajax with ASP.NET technology and provided a unified set of development tools within Visual Studio 2005. For the first time, Ajax applications can be developed seamlessly in conjunction with a supporting technology.

Foundations of ASP.NET AJAX (written by Laurence Moroney the author of Apress successful Foundations of Atlas) gives you a detailed grounding in how ASP.NET AJAX works. It takes you swiftly through the basic principles of Ajax, then deep into the heart of the technology, where every namespace is discussed and every function considered. By the end of the book, you’ll know all the essentials to confidently produce cutting-edge ASP.NET AJAX applications swiftly and professionally. You will not need any reference beyond this book.

Effective Use of Microsoft Enterprise Library: Building Blocks for Creating Enterprise Applications and Services

2008-09-15T00:12:00.002+05:30

Paperback: 736 pages
Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional; 1 edition (June 9, 2006)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0321334213

Writing robust enterprise applications presents a special challenge for developers, but Microsoft has addressed that challenge with the free, downloadable Enterprise Library for the .NET Framework.

Enterprise Library is a collection of application blocks and guidance documents that together provide functionality common to enterprise applications; each application block includes full source code. Lacking in the guidance provided by Microsoft is an overall roadmap to the process of using the application blocks. Effective Use of Microsoft Enterprise Library is that roadmap.

Microsoft application development lead architect Len Fenster explains exactly how to build applications using Enterprise Library application blocks. Fenster covers all seven application blocks as implemented for .NET Framework 1.1, shows how to develop and use a new application block, and explains how Enterprise Library is changing for .NET Framework 2.0.

Readers will learn

How the Configuration Application Block is designed and can be used at runtime to easily read and write configuration data
How the Configuration Application Block works at design time for all blocks
How to use the Data Access Block to create a portable data layer
How to use the Exception Handling Application Block to implement a policy-driven, application-wide exception handling system
How to use the Logging and Instrumentation Application Block to log and instrument messages independent of the message destination
How to add authentication, authorization, role membership, security cache, and profile membership features to an application with the Security Application Block
How to use the Cryptography Application Block to add functionality to encrypt and decrypt data and create and compare hashes
How to build your own application block and providers that â€œsnapâ€ right into Enterprise Library

Whether you plan to extend Enterprise Library for your organization, or just use the existing application blocks to add functionality to your architecture in a consistent, extensible, integrated way, this book will guide you through the complexities and help you find a clear path to success.

About the Author
Len Fenster is the lead architect for .NET Development for Microsoft Consulting Serviceâ€™s U.S. East Region. During his last eight years at Microsoft, he has focused on helping many enterprises create robust applications based on Microsoft technology. Most recently, Len has been working with the Microsoft patterns & practices team on the next version of Enterprise Library. Even before his career with Microsoft, Len led a global team of developers and architects that built distributed applications based on Microsoft technologies. Since the advent of .NET, Len has served as an enterprise architect for Microsoft Consulting Services and has leveraged his considerable experience to help many enterprises incorporate .NET into their own technology strategies. Len speaks on a regular basis to companies and at architecture forums about architecting solutions based on .NET and service oriented architecture.

.NET represents a new and improved way of developing software for the Windows platform. Given the chance, you’d probably rewrite all of your existing code in the newer managed code environment that .NET provides. But it is difficult or impossible to throw out all existing legacy code and start over when a new technology arrives. Instead, you need to find a way to move forward with new .NET development while reusing existing pieces of tested, working code. You need a way to interoperate with the existing code until you have a chance to finally rewrite all of it in .NET.

The only recipe-style book on the subject, .NET 2.0 Interoperability Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach guides Windows developers who are transitioning from native Windows code to .NET managed code. The book

Explains new interop features in .NET 2.0 and VS .NET 2005
Covers PInvoke, COM, and COM+ (other books don’t cover all three areas)
Features most of its example code in C# and VB .NET, and also includes some managed C++/CLI
Is written by a working developer with first-hand experience

.NET tools will allow you to interoperate with existing code. But finding the appropriate tool for the task at hand can sometimes be a frustrating experience. So this book will guide you past myriad infrequently used interop options to focus on those you’ll use most often.

At first glance, building and deploying applications seem simple enough. But in fact, difficult releases without any confidence or processes backing them are very common. Integration and management of a new deployment can be laborious and fraught with risk. So as team size and volume of projects grow, management becomes more difficult and risk more pronounced.

This book is a guide to the implementation of good processes in a .NET environment. Author Marc Holmes focuses on actual implementation, and details patterns and anti-patterns to watch out for. He also provides a practical and in-depth look at NAnt and CruiseControl.NET, and solutions to common problem scenarios.

About the Author
Marc Holmes is one of the lucky ones&emdash;he was born into a generation of home computing. His first computer, acquired at age ten, was a Commodore Vic20. This was followed up with a Commodore 64 and Holmes’ first programming project: “SpaceBats.” He has willingly been chained to a computer since then.

After studying computer science and artificial intelligence in a university, Holmes has devoted his time to working and developing technology in various industries including retail, semiconductors, and media. As a developer, Holmes has written numerous systems, from WAP-based â€˜m-commerce’ applications to media management systems.

Since the dotcom era, Holmes has concentrated on software design and engineering processes, following closely the introduction of the .NET platform. This currently forms the basis of his day-to-day activities. Holmes is passionate about the provision of software engineering processes as the glue that binds and industrializes software development, and he is a firm believer in software as a commodity.

Currently, Holmes is the Technical Design Authority at a global media corporation. He and the development team oversee dozens of systems from small “brochureware” sites to significant enterprise systems for HR, CRM and logistics operations. Holmes can also be found participating in the blogosphere and in various newsgroups and discussion groups.

Language: English
ISBN-10: 1590595785

With the release of .NET 2.0, the Visual Basic 2005 language has been updated with numerous new programming constructs (XML code documentation, operator overloading, generics, and partial types just to name a few!). Now more than ever, choosing a .NET language boils down to personal preference (rather than a language’s feature set).

However, to effectively make use of these new language features, developers must have a rock-solid grounding in object-oriented technology, assemblies, and the core .NET technologies. The purpose of Pro VB 2005 and the .NET 2.0 Platform, Second Edition is to provide you with such a foundation by diving deep into the language of VB 2005 and the platform of .NET. Thus, rather than simply showing how a code wizard can generate all the code on your behalf, this text will first show you how to author the code yourself so you can alter the generated code to your liking.

Beyond learning all the details of the VB 2005 programming language, you will also dive into the details of building desktop applications (using Windows Forms) and websites (via ASP.NET 2.0), and how to interact with relational databases (Ã la ADO.NET). Furthermore, you will explore how to build distributed applications using the .NET remoting layer and XML web services. Rest assured, this text will expose you to all the major services of the .NET platform and put you in the perfect position for further exploration.

Account registration, personalization and theming
News and events, organized into categories
Opinion polls
Newsletter
Forums
E-commerce store with shopping cart and order management
Localization

Administration of a site will be covered including:

Full online back-end administrative section, to manage practically all data from an intuitive user interface

Foundations of Atlas: Rapid Ajax Development with ASP.NET 2.0

2008-09-14T23:43:00.000+05:30

Paperback: 336 pages
Publisher: Apress (May 29, 2006)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1590596471

This book introduces a fast-track path to understanding Atlas, and how this technology can increase the power and functionality of your code while conserving time and effort. The book begins with a bare-bones introduction that explains how Atlas relates to Ajax.

Microsoft Atlas is a web-client framework that makes building Ajax-style applications easier. It provides a prewritten framework that gives you a structured environment in which to work. Atlas also provides you with an object model and standardized debugging to make development faster and simpler.

Ajax is a new way of combining a number of Web technologies including JavaScript, dynamic HTML, and a feature known as XmlHttp (which reduces the need for client browsers to constantly reconnect to the server every time new information is downloaded). But at the moment, people developing with Ajax have to write their code from the ground up, which is complex and time consuming.

The book guides you through a series of practical examples that demonstrate the Atlas framework and available controls. After reading this book, you’ll be able to compile a seamless Atlas-based application of your own!

* In anticipation of changes during development of the Atlas technology, the updated source code is posted for download on the author’s blog, www.philotic.com/blog.
* This book demystifies the Atlas technology and shows you how to work with it.
* The first book dedicated to this revolutionary new technology.
* Written by an experienced .NET author in collaboration with the Atlas development team.

First Edition: April 2007
ISBN 10: 0-596-51371-2

With its flexibility, readability, and mature code libraries, Python is a natural choice for developing agile and maintainable web applications. Several frameworks have emerged in the last few years that share ideas with Ruby on Rails and leverage the expressive nature of Python. This Short Cut will tell you what you need to know about the hottest fullstack frameworks: Django, Pylons, and TurboGears. Their philosophies, relative strengths, and development status are described in detail.

What you won’t find out is, “Which one should I use?” The short answer is that all of them can be used to build web applications- the challenge for the reader is to find the one that fits his or her project or coding style best.

You don’t have to know everything about a car to drive one, and you don’t need to know everything about Ruby to start programming with it. Written for both experienced and new programmers alike, Learning Ruby is a just-get-in-and-drive book — a hands-on tutorial that offers lots of Ruby programs and lets you know how and why they work, just enough to get you rolling down the road.

Interest in Ruby stems from the popularity of Rails, the web development framework that’s attracting new devotees and refugees from Java and PHP. But there are plenty of other uses for this versatile language. The best way to learn is to just try the code! You’ll find examples on nearly every page of this book that you can imitate and hack. Briefly, this book:

Outlines many of the most important features of Ruby
Demonstrates how to use conditionals, and how to manipulate strings in Ruby. Includes a section on regular expressions
Describes how to use operators, basic math, functions from the Math module, rational numbers, etc.
Talks you through Ruby arrays, and demonstrates hashes in detail
Explains how to process files with Ruby
Discusses Ruby classes and modules (mixins) in detail, including a brief introduction to object-oriented programming (OOP)
Introduces processing XML, the Tk toolkit, RubyGems, reflection, RDoc, embedded Ruby, metaprogramming, exception handling, and other topics
Acquaints you with some of the essentials of Rails, and includes a short Rails tutorial.

Each chapter concludes with a set of review questions, and appendices provide you with a glossary of terms related to Ruby programming, plus reference material from the book in one convenient location. If you want to take Ruby out for a drive, Learning Ruby holds the keys.

Pro Active Record: Databases with Ruby and Rails

2008-09-06T10:51:00.000+05:30

Paperback: 304 pages
Publisher: Apress (September 10, 2007)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1590598474

Pro Active Record helps you take advantage of the full power of your database engine from within your Ruby programs and Rails applications. ActiveRecord, part of the magic that makes the Rails framework so powerful and easy to use, is the model element of Rail’s model/view/controller framework. It’s an object-relational mapping library enabling you to interact with databases from both Ruby and Rails applications.

Because ActiveRecord is configured with default assumptions that mesh perfectly with the Rails framework, Rails developers often find they hardly need think about it at all. However, if you are developing in Ruby without Rails, or are deploying against legacy databases designed without Rails in mind, or you just want to take advantage of database-specific features such as large objects and stored procedures, you need the in-depth knowledge of ActiveRecord found in this book.

In Pro Active Record, authors Kevin Marshall, Chad Pytel, and Jon Yurek walk you through every step from the basics of getting and installing the ActiveRecord library to working with legacy schema to using features specific to each of today’s most popular database engines, including Oracle, MS SQL, MySQL, and more! Youâ€™ll come to a deep understanding of ActiveRecord that will enable you to truly exploit all that Ruby, Rails, and your chosen database platform have to offer.

About the Author
Kevin Marshall is a software developer at heart. He is a consultant to a number of companies and currently runs 50+ sites of his own–many of which are now happily taking advantage of ActiveRecord with the Ruby on Rails framework, including the popular Draftwizard.com.

Beginning Rails: From Novice to Professional

2008-09-06T10:50:00.001+05:30

Paperback: 361 pages
Publisher: Apress (July 20, 2007)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1590596862

Beginning Rails is the practical starting point for anyone wanting to learn how to build dynamic web applications using the Rails framework for Ruby. Youâ€™ll learn how all of the components of Rails fit together and how you can leverage them to create sophisticated web applications with less code and more joy.

This book is particularly well suited to those with little or no experience with web application development, or who have some experience but are new to Rails. Beginning Rails assumes basic familiarity with web terms and technologies, but doesn’t require you to be an expert.

Topics include:

A gentle introduction to the Ruby programming language
Installing Ruby and Rails on a Mac, Linux, or Windows system
The philosophy behind Rails and why it matters
The Model-View-Controller architecture
The basics of relational databases and SQL
Setting up a MySQL database and creating a schema with migrations
Experimenting with your live application in the Rails console
Creating rich relationships between your models
Using controllers and templates properly
Leveraging helpers to keep your templates clean and logic free
Adding Ajax and visual effects to enrich your user interfaces
JavaScript with Prototype and script.aculo.us
How to send and receive mail from your application
Using and creating your own plug-ins
Ensuring your code against Murphyâ€™s Law through writing tests
Using Capistrano to deploy your application

Rather than delving into the arcane details of Rails, the focus is on the aspects of the framework that will become your pick, shovel, and axe. Part history lesson, part introduction to object-oriented programming, and part dissertation on open source software, Beginning Rails doesnâ€™t just explain how to do something in Rails, it explains why.

Every programmer fondly remembers the book that helped them get started. The goal of Beginning Rails is to become that book for you, today.

Design Patterns in Ruby

2008-09-06T10:47:00.002+05:30

Hardcover: 384 pages
Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional; 1 edition (December 20, 2007)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0321490452

Praise for Design Patterns in Ruby

“Design Patterns in Ruby documents smart ways to resolve many problems that Ruby developers commonly encounter. Russ Olsen has done a great job of selecting classic patterns and augmenting these with newer patterns that have special relevance for Ruby. He clearly explains each idea, making a wealth of experience available to Ruby developers for their own daily work.”

—Steve Metsker, Managing Consultant with Dominion Digital, Inc.

“This book provides a great demonstration of the key ‘Gang of Four’ design patterns without resorting to overly technical explanations. Written in a precise, yet almost informal style, this book covers enough ground that even those without prior exposure to design patterns will soon feel confident applying them using Ruby. Olsen has done a great job to make a book about a classically ‘dry’ subject into such an engaging and even occasionally humorous read.”

—Peter Cooper

“This book renewed my interest in understanding patterns after a decade of good intentions. Russ picked the most useful patterns for Ruby and introduced them in a straightforward and logical manner, going beyond the GoF’s patterns. This book has improved my use of Ruby, and encouraged me to blow off the dust covering the GoF book.”

—Mike Stok

“Design Patterns in Ruby is a great way for programmers from statically typed objectoriented languages to learn how design patterns appear in a more dynamic, flexible language like Ruby.”

—Rob Sanheim, Ruby Ninja, Relevance

Most design pattern books are based on C++ and Java. But Ruby is different—and the language’s unique qualities make design patterns easier to implement and use. In this book, Russ Olsen demonstrates how to combine Ruby’s power and elegance with patterns, and write more sophisticated, effective software with far fewer lines of code.

After reviewing the history, concepts, and goals of design patterns, Olsen offers a quick tour of the Ruby language—enough to allow any experienced software developer to immediately utilize patterns with Ruby. The book especially calls attention to Ruby features that simplify the use of patterns, including dynamic typing, code closures, and “mixins” for easier code reuse.

Fourteen of the classic “Gang of Four” patterns are considered from the Ruby point of view, explaining what problems each pattern solves, discussing whether traditional implementations make sense in the Ruby environment, and introducing Ruby-specific improvements. You’ll discover opportunities to implement patterns in just one or two lines of code, instead of the endlessly repeated boilerplate that conventional languages often require.

Design Patterns in Ruby also identifies innovative new patterns that have emerged from the Ruby community. These include ways to create custom objects with metaprogramming, as well as the ambitious Rails-based “Convention Over Configuration” pattern, designed to help integrate entire applications and frameworks.

Engaging, practical, and accessible, Design Patterns in Ruby will help you build better software while making your Ruby programming experience more rewarding.

About the Author
Russ Olsen has been building software for more than twenty-five years. He has led projects through several generations of programming technologies, from FORTRAN to C to C++ to Java, and now Ruby. He has been using and teaching Ruby since 2002. Olsen writes the popular technology blog Technology As If People Mattered

Everyday Scripting with Ruby: For Teams, Testers, and You

2008-09-06T10:43:00.000+05:30

Paperback: 310 pages
Publisher: Pragmatic Bookshelf (January 23, 2007)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0977616614

Are you a tester who spends more time manually creating complex test data than using it? A business analyst who seemingly went to college all those years so you can spend your days copying data from reports into spreadsheets? A programmer who can’t finish each day’s task without having to scan through version control system output, looking for the file you want?

If so, you’re wasting that computer on your desk. Offload the drudgery to where it belongs, and free yourself to do what you should be doing: thinking. All you need is a scripting language (free!), this book (cheap!), and the dedication to work through the examples and exercises.

Everyday Scripting with Ruby is divided into four parts. In the first, you’ll learn the basics of the Ruby scripting language. In the second, you’ll see how to create scripts in a steady, controlled way using test-driven design. The third part is about finding, understanding, and using the work of others–and about preparing your scripts for others to use. The fourth part, more advanced, is about saving even more time by using application frameworks.

About the Author
Brian Marick graduated in 1981 with one degree in Mathematics and Computer Science and another one in English Literature. In his early career, he continued to be confused about his identity. Sometimes he was a programmer. Sometimes he was a tester. He became better at each because he understood the other. Brian is the author of The Craft of Software Testing, which promotes test design techniques, how testers support the team, and unscripted exploratory manual testing. He was an author of the Manifesto for Agile Software Development and was the second chair of the Agile Alliance board of directors. Because the Agile methods encourage cross-disciplinary work, he’s once again without a fixed identity. When consulting, he sticks his nose into everything.

Weight Training For Dummies

Paperback: 408 pages
Publisher: For Dummies; 3 edition (March 6, 2006)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0471768456

Owning Weight Training for Dummies is like having two knowledgeable and entertaining personal trainers into your home. The authors, Liz Neporent and Suzanne Schlosberg, authors of the popular Fitness for Dummies, are both fitness professionals who walk (lift, run, bicycle) their talk. They explain the basics of weight training simply, then take you through every step to setting up your own program and doing it properly. Whether you have free weights (dumbbells and barbells), a home machine, or access to a gym with many machines, you’ll get an introduction to safe and effective weight training, plus descriptions, technique, and illustrations of dozens of exercises designed to target all major muscle groups. And just in case this is the only fitness book you buy, the authors include some information on cardio exercise, stretching, and other exercise options. Best of all, the book is motivating, easy to understand, and fun to read. This updated edition of Weight Training for Dummies includes a few new chapters: “Yoga and Pilates” and “Improving Your Balance and Coordination,” both in the “Beyond the Barbell” section; “Advanced Weight Training Exercises”; and a few snippets of new material (such as the addition of “Don’t dress like a porn star” in the “Weight Training Etiquette” chapter). Otherwise, it’s pretty much the same book. If you own the first edition, there’s probably no need to buy the updated version. But if you don’t own the first edition of this handy and cheery guide already, and weight training is not yet a part of your fitness program, the second edition of Weight Training for Dummies will teach you exactly what to do and how to do it.

The Emotionally Intelligent Manager: How to Develop and Use the Four Key Emotional Skills of Leadership

2008-08-31T23:48:00.001+05:30

Hardcover: 320 pages
Publisher: Jossey-Bass; 1 edition (April 5, 2004)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0787970719

We have long been taught that emotions should be felt and expressed in carefully controlled ways, and then only in certain environments and at certain times. This is especially true when at work, particularly when managing others. It is considered terribly unprofessional to express emotion while on the job, and many of us believe that our biggest mistakes and regrets are due to our reactions at those times when our emotions get the better of us. David R. Caruso and Peter Salovey believe that this view of emotion is not correct. The emotion centers of the brain, they argue, are not relegated to a secondary place in our thinking and reasoning, but instead are an integral part of what it means to think, reason, and to be intelligent. In The Emotionally Intelligent Manager, they show that emotion is not just important, but absolutely necessary for us to make good decisions, take action to solve problems, cope with change, and succeed. The authors detail a practical four-part hierarchy of emotional skills: identifying emotions, using emotions to facilitate thinking, understanding emotions, and managing emotions—and show how we can measure, learn, and develop each skill and employ them in an integrated way to solve our most difficult work-related problems.

While some executives seem to possess all these qualities and be born with savvy communication skills, Weiner shows how anyone can find ways to make measurable improvements in how they present themselves that will enhance their credibility.
