Beginning JavaScript 3rd edition

Beginning JavaScript

Book Description
JavaScript is a scripting language that enables you to enhance static web applications by providing dynamic, personalized, and interactive content. This improves the experience of visitors to your site and makes it more likely that they will visit again. You must have seen the flashy drop-down menus, moving text, and changing content that are now widespread on web sites—they are enabled through JavaScript. Supported by all the major browsers, JavaScript is the language of choice on the Web. It can even be used outside web applications—to automate administrative tasks, for example.

This book aims to teach you all you need to know to start experimenting with JavaScript: what it is, how it works, and what you can do with it. Starting from the basic syntax, you’ll move on to learn how to create powerful web applications. Don’t worry if you’ve never programmed before—this book will teach you all you need to know, step by step. You’ll find that JavaScript can be a great introduction to the world of programming: with the knowledge and understanding that you’ll gain from this book, you’ll be able to move on to learn newer and more advanced technologies in the world of computing.

In order to get the most out of this book, you’ll need to have an understanding of HTML and how to create a static web page. You don’t need to have any programming experience.

This book will also suit you if you have some programming experience already, and would like to turn your hand to web programming. You will know a fair amount about computing concepts, but maybe not as much about web technologies.

Alternatively, you may have a design background and know relatively little about the Web and computing concepts. For you, JavaScript will be a cheap and relatively easy introduction to the world of programming and web application development.

Whoever you are, we hope that this book lives up to your expectations.

You’ll begin by looking at exactly what JavaScript is, and taking your first steps with the underlying language and syntax. You’ll learn all the fundamental programming concepts, including data and data types, and structuring your code to make decisions in your programs or to loop over the same piece of code many times.

Once you’re comfortable with the basics, you’ll move on to one of the key ideas in JavaScript—the object. You’ll learn how to take advantage of the objects that are native to the JavaScript language, such as dates and strings, and find out how these objects enable you to manage complex data and simplify your programs. Next, you’ll see how you can use JavaScript to manipulate objects made available to you in the browser, such as forms, windows, and other controls. Using this knowledge, you can start to create truly professional-looking applications that enable you to interact with the user.

Long pieces of code are very hard to get right every time—even for the experienced programmer—and JavaScript code is no exception. You look at common syntax and logical errors, how you can spot them, and how to use the Microsoft Script Debugger to aid you with this task. Also, you need to examine how to handle the errors that slip through the net, and ensure that these do not detract from the experience of the end user of your application.

From here, you’ll move on to more advanced topics, such as using cookies and jazzing up your web pages with dynamic HTML and XML. Finally, you’ll be looking at a relatively new and exciting technology, remote scripting. This allows your JavaScript in a HTML page to communicate directly with a server, and useful for, say, looking up information on a database sitting on your server. If you have the Google toolbar you’ll have seen something like this in action already. When you type a search word in the Google toolbar, it comes up with suggestions, which it gets via the Google search database.

All the new concepts introduced in this book will be illustrated with practical examples, which enable you to experiment with JavaScript and build on the theory that you have just learned. The appendix provides solutions to the exercises included at the end of most chapters throughout the book.

During the first half of the book, you’ll also be building up a more complex sample application—an online trivia quiz—which will show you how JavaScript is used in action in a real-world situation.

Expert One-On-One Visual Basic .NET Business Objects

Expert One to One Visual Basic .NET Business Objects

Download Description
In the late 1990s, Rockford Lhotka wrote about how to create distributed, object-oriented Windows applications using the limited facilities of Visual Basic 6, COM, and DCOM. The introduction of .NET has motivated him to revisit those themes and revise his strategy. In this book, he explains how .NET changes, what’s possible, and demonstrates what he believes to be the best way to use it.

The book has three parts. In the first, Rockford analyzes logical and physical application architectures, exploring their effect on scalability, fault tolerance, and performance. In the second, he implements and documents a Visual Basic .NET framework for the creation of distributed, object-oriented applications that employ .NET technologies including remoting, serialization, and auto-deployment. This framework encapsulates functionality such as database access, transaction handling, and location transparency, which are inherited automatically by any applications created from it.

In the last part of the book, Rockford uses the framework to create a sample application, and demonstrates the ease with which it’s possible to write Windows, Web, and Web services interfaces for the underlying objects. As well as these, this book contains Rockford’s own Component-based, Scalable, Logical Architecture (CSLA .NET), an object-oriented framework that can act as the foundation for a diverse range of enterprise applications, and which you’re free to examine, use, and modify for your needs.

LINQ unleashed for C#

LINQ unleashed for c sharp

Microsoft’s highly anticipated LINQ query technology makes it easy to retrieve any information programmatically from any data source, no matter where it comes from or how it’s stored. Using LINQ, developers can query objects, relational databases, XML documents, and ADO.NET datasets–and do it all directly from C# 3.0, leveraging the powerful capabilities of LINQ.

This is a definitive guide to getting real-world results with LINQ, using C# 3.0 and Visual Studio 2008. In LINQ Unleashed, Microsoft MVP Paul Kimmel covers every facet of LINQ programming, showing how LINQ can help you dramatically improve your productivity and build more reliable, maintainable applications.

Kimmel begins by reviewing the state-of-the-art C# programming techniques LINQ uses, including anonymous types, partial methods, and Lambda expressions. Next, using realistic examples and easy-to-adapt sample code, he details the most powerful new LINQ techniques for accessing objects, databases, and XML. You’ll gain a deep and practical understanding of how LINQ works “under the hood”–and learn how to do everything from selecting data through integrating XML with other data models.

Build efficient LINQ queries to .NET objects, SQL databases, and XML content
Utilize anonymous types to reduce design time, coding effort, and debugging time
Automatically generate .NET state machines with the new yield return construct
Master LINQ query syntax, operators, extension methods, sorting, grouping, aggregate and set operations, and more
Make the most of select–and use it in the business layer of your n-tier applications
Query relational data stored in Microsoft SQL Server
Use nullable types to eliminate unnecessary database access plumbing code
Use LINQ with ADO.NET 3.0 and Microsoft’s powerful new Entity Framework
Extract XML data without the hassles or complexity of XPath
Automatically construct XML from CSV files and other non-XML data
Query Active Directory by extending LINQ

C # Developer

C# yellow book description
Welcome to the Wonderful World of Rob Miles™. This is a world of bad jokes, puns, and programming. In this book I’m going to give you a smattering of the C# programming language. If you have programmed before I’d be grateful if you’d still read the text. It is worth it just for the jokes and you may actually learn something. If you have not programmed before, do not worry. Programming is not rocket science it is, well, programming. The bad news about learning to program is that you get hit with a lot of ideas and concepts at around the same time when you start, and this can be confusing.

The keys to learning programming are:

Practice
do a lot of programming and force yourself to think about things from a problem solving point of view
Study – look at programs written by other people. You can learn a lot from studying code which other folk have created. Figuring out how somebody else did the job is a great starting point for your solution. And remember that in many cases there is no best solution, just ones which are better in a particular context, i.e. the fastest, the smallest, the easiest to use etc.
Persistence
writing programs is hard work. And you have to work hard at it. The principle reason why most folks don’t make it as programmers is that they give up. Not because they are stupid. However, don’t get too persistent. If you haven’t solved a programming problem in 30 minutes you should call time out and seek help. Or at least walk away from the problem and come back to it. Staying up all night trying to sort out a problem is not a good plan. It just makes you all irritable in the morning. We will cover what to do when it all goes wrong later in these notes.

In More Effective C#, Microsoft C# MVP and Regional Director Bill Wagner introduces fifty brand-new ways to write more efficient and more robust software. This all-new book follows the same format as Wagner’s best-selling Effective C# (Addison-Wesley, 2005), providing clear, practical explanations, expert tips, and plenty of realistic code examples.

Wagner shows how to make the most of powerful innovations built into Microsoft’s new C# 3.0 and .NET Framework 3.5, as well as advanced C# language capabilities not covered in his previous book. Drawing on his unsurpassed C# experience, the author reveals new best practices for working with LINQ, generics, metaprogramming, and many other features. He also uncovers practices that compromise performance or reliability and shows exactly how to avoid them.

More Effective C# shows how to
Use generics to express your design intent more effectively
Master advanced generics techniques, such as constraints, method constraints, and generic specialization
Use the multithreaded techniques you’ll need to work with the .NET framework every day
Express modern design idioms using the rich palette of C# language features
Successfully mix object oriented and functional programming constructs
Create composable interfaces and avoid confusion in public interfaces
Use extension methods to separate contracts from implementation
Program successfully with C# closures and anonymous types
Write more effective LINQ queries
Make the most of LINQ Lazy Evaluation Queries and Lambda Expressions
Distinguish and convert between delegates and expression trees
Efficiently utilize nullable types and partial classes
Use implicit properties for mutable, nonserializable data
You’re already a successful C# programmer–this book can help you become an outstanding one.

Essential C# 3.0: For .NET Framework 3.5

Essential C sharp 3.0

Book  Description

Praise for Essential C# 3.0
“If you want to be a C# developer, or if you want to enhance your C# programming skills, there is no more useful tool than a well-crafted book on the subject. You are holding such a book in your hands.”
–From the Foreword by Charlie Calvert, Community Program Manager, Visual C#, Microsoft “In a time when you can search online for any reference material, Essential C# 3.0 is the one book I still bother to carry in my bag. Any developer can hit F1 for help with the language syntax; this book, however, arms me with the knowledge to make better design and coding decisions (and the confidence to say so). You know when a book has more than twenty pages of index that it’s got depth covered, and although Essential C# 3.0 has introductory chapters, it progresses effortlessly into the lesser known corners of the language, which makes this book indispensible to any level of C# developer.”
–Troy Magennis, C# MVP and creator of HookedOnLINQ.com
“If you are new to C#, as I was, Mark’s book is an excellent way to start. His approach takes you step by step through the structure and syntax of the language, making it easy to understand how things work. I found the code samples extremely helpful and supportive of the concepts being discussed.”
–Robert Stokesbary, senior consultant, Option Explicit
“This book expands on the concepts introduced in Essential C# 2.0 to include C# 3.0 enhancements. One great aspect of this book is that it not only covers the new 3.0 enhancements in great detail, but it also shows where it makes sense to utilize these new features over the existing 2.0 features. While I have been programming C# for many years, I find myself referring to this book often and always seem to find something new buried in the pages. This is a must-read for both the C# newbie as well as the C# seasoned veteran.”
