Application Architecture for .NET: Designing Applications and Services

book cover

Application Architecture for .NET: Designing Applications and Services provides architecture- and design-level guidance for application architects and developers who need to build distributed solutions with the MS® .NET Framework.

This guide identifies the key design decisions you need to make during the early phases of development and provides design-level guidance to help you choose between design options. It helps you develop an overall design by presenting a consistent architecture built of different types of components that will help you achieve a good design and take advantage of the MS platform.

Although this guide is not intended to provide implementation-level guidance for each aspect of the application, it does provide references to specific MS Patterns & Practices guides, MSDN articles, and community sites that discuss in detail the various aspects of distributed application design. You can think of this guide as a roadmap of the most important distributed application design issues you will encounter when using the MS platform.

Build Your Own .NET Language and Compiler (with source code)

book cover

This practical book presents techniques that you can apply to everyday work. You’ll learn to add scripts and macro languages to your applications, add runtime expression evaluation to their applications, and generate code immediately. Further, you will learn parsing techniques, which are essential to extract information from any structured form of data—like text files, user input, XML, or HTML. As a bonus, the book includes a complete QuickBasic compatible compiler with source code that works. The compiler illustrates the book’s techniques and acts as a versatile .NET language.

All software developers use languages, which are the fundamental tool of the trade. Despite curiosity about how languages work, few developers actually understand how. Unfortunately, most texts on language and compiler development are hard to digest, written from academic platforms for use in college-level computer science programs. On the other hand, Build Your Own .NET Language and Compiler demystifies compiler and language development, and makes the subjects palatable for all programmers.

TABLE OF CONTENT:
Ch 01 - A Brief History of Compiler Technology
Ch 02 - A Brief Introduction to the .NET Framework
Ch 03 - A Compiler Flyover

NOTE: There is something you should know. Source code is not complete! There is about 90+% of it in my upload but not whole. It is, also, the reason why I upload it separated from the book so you could deceide for yourself will you downlad it or not. Naturaly, there is no way for me to know which parts are missing so don't ask me, I don't know. Sorry, but it's not my fault and this is the best I could get. I recomend you to use it because (even like this) will save you a lot of time.
I simply thought it would be fair from me to warn you about this.

Cisco Express Forwarding (Networking Technology)

Cisco Express Forwarding (Networking Technology)How does a router switch a packet?

What is the difference between routing a packet and switching a packet? What is this CEF feature that is referred to in Cisco documentation and commonly found in Cisco IOS commands?

Cisco Express Forwarding addresses these questions through comprehensive discussions of Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF). CEF is a term used to describe one of the mechanisms used by Cisco IOS routers and Cisco Catalyst switches to forward packets. CEF offers the benefits of improved performance, scalability, and resilience.

CEF is found in almost all Cisco IOS routers and Catalyst switches, however documentation of the topic is very scarce.

This book addresses common misconceptions about CEF and packet switching across various platforms. It helps readers understand CEF and how to troubleshoot whether there is a CEF or another problem occurring in the network.

The book guides readers through CEF basics, supplying exercises and troubleshooting scenarios that enhance their ability to recognize common mistakes, as well as to provide them with some models for configurations that they can follow in their own networks.

Learn how to apply Excel's advanced data analysis features to solve real-world business problems. This hands-on reference targets specific business situations, then demonstrates how to create spreadsheets for these problem areas. Topics include statistics, pivot tables, workload forecasting, modeling, queuing, data importing, and more. Perfect for professional Excel users working in an office environment.

As one of the most widely used desktop applications ever created, Excel is familiar to just about everyone with a computer and a keyboard. Yet most of us don't know the full extent of what Excel can do, mostly because of its recent growth in power, versatility, and complexity. The truth is that there are many ways Excel can help make your job easier-beyond calculating sums and averages in a standard spreadsheet.

Analyzing Business Data with Excel shows you how to solve real-world business problems by taking Excel's data analysis features to the max. Rather than focusing on individual Excel functions and features, the book keys directly on the needs of business users. Most of the chapters start with a business problem or question, and then show you how to create pointed spreadsheets that address common data analysis issues.

Aimed primarily at experienced Excel users, the book doesn't spend much time on the basics. After introducing some necessary general tools, it quickly moves into more specific problem areas, such as the following:
- Statistics
- Pivot tables
- Workload forecasting
- Modeling
- Measuring quality
- Monitoring complex systems
- Queuing
- Optimizing

Pro SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services

book coverThis book was written in parallel with a real SSRS deployment for a health-care application, so it covers almost every design and deployment consideration for SSRS, always from the stand-point of how to get the job done effectively. You’ll find step-by-step guides, practical tips, and best practices, along with code samples that you’ll be able to modify and use in your own SSRS applications. At its core, the process of designing reports hasn’t changed substantially in the past 15 years. The report designer lays out report objects, which contain data from a known data source, in a design application such as Crystal Reports or MS Access. He or she then tests report execution, verifies the accuracy of the results, and distributes the report to the target audience.

Sure, there are enough differences between design applications to mean that the designer must become familiar with each particular environment. However, there’s enough crossover functionality to make this learning curve small. For example, the SUMfunction is the same in Crystal Reports as it is in MS Access as it is in Structured Query Language (SQL). With MS SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services (referred to as SSRS throughout the book), there is, again, only a marginal difference in the way reports are designed from one graphical report design application to another. So, if you do have previous reporting experience, your learning curve for SSRS should be relatively shallow. This is especially true if you come from a .NET environment, because the report designer application for SSRS is Visual Studio 2005 or the application included with SQL Server 2005, Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS).

101 MS Visual Basic .NET Applications

book cover

The 101 sample applications that make up this book contain code that answers many common questions a beginner-to-intermediate-level Microsoft Visual Basic .NET developer is faced with when building Microsoft .NET applications.

Each sample application was developed using a set of coding conventions (which you’ll find in this book), and each sample shares a common look and feel, as much as possible. Each sample also includes a readme.htm file that explains some basics of the application in case you’re reviewing a sample without having the book close at hand.

The samples in this book are ready to be run in either the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2002 or 2003 development environment. You can find the Visual Studio .NET 2003 files in Chapter folders within the \101VBApps folder; look inside the VS2002 folder within the \101VBApps folder for the Visual Studio .NET 2002 files.

Finally each application is designed to be “F5-able,” meaning that they should all run out of the box, without any special configuration. Any circumstances for which specific software or setup is needed is fully documented in the readme. The only general requirement is that you have Microsoft SQL Server installed either as a default instance or an instance installed with the name NETSDK. You can easily install a version of SQL Server by installing the version of MSDE that ships with the .NET Framework quickstarts.

Explore 101 of the most useful Visual Basic .NET applications in action—and jumpstart your own Microsoft .NET Framework-based development projects. This guide provides expert, behind-the-code commentary on 101 fully executable code samples—distilling more than 700 hours of programming time into best practices for Microsoft Windows Forms development. Each code sample demonstrates core features and functions of Visual Basic .NET and the .NET Framework, explains the underlying programming concepts, and provides a complete code walkthrough. From creating basic data entry forms to drilling deep into the .NET Framework, you’ll learn the techniques that Microsoft’s own developers use to write real-world applications with Visual Basic .NET.

AutoCAD And AutoCAD LT AIO Desk Reference - For Dummies

book cover

This book gives you an understanding of all the main features that you need to know in order to be productive with AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT. The All-in-One Desk References For Dummies are much different from other For Dummies books you may have read; more information is crammed between the two covers, and the content is more in-depth. This book is laid out to focus on individual topics and allows you the freedom of moving around between its minibooks. We recommend that if you are not familiar (or somewhat familiar) with AutoCAD that you read through Books I and II before moving on to the other minibooks.

After you read this book, don’t let it run too far from your desk, you will find it helpful as a reference whenever you might need it.

We expect that you know how to use the Windows operating system and understand the basics of navigating folders and starting applications. To take advantage of everything that AutoCAD offers and what is contained in this book, we assume that you have at least an Internet connection — dial-up at least, but a high-speed cable or DSL connection would be best. As long as you have AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT installed on the computer in front of you and a connection to the Internet, you are ready to get started.

AutoCAD 2006 VBA - A Programmer’s Reference

book cover

This book provides a concise guide to the kind of customization programmers can achieve with AutoCAD 2006. It demonstrates how to use AutoCAD through short code examples written in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). It also includes a complete quick reference that lists all the events, methods, and properties available with AutoCAD. Finally, it describes all the constants and system variables.

What Is This Book About?
This book is about AutoCAD 2006 and how to use AutoCAD VBA in your applications to handle all your drawing tasks more efficiently. It shows you how to programmatically control the creation and editing of individual drawing objects, manipulate linetypes and layers, control text and dimension styles, and do much more. As you encounter each of these topics, you’ll learn all about the associated objects, including their properties, methods, and events.
By interfacing with AutoCAD, you can exploit all of AutoCAD’s functionality that would have taken you a long time to write yourself. This book will first help you learn how to use this functionality. Then it will become a handy reference later, when you have a question that you just can’t answer.
This book splits topics into neat and intuitive segments and makes it easy to find specific information when you need it (that is, when you’re coding real-world applications).

Who Is This Book For?
The book is a reference guide for AutoCAD programmers, and it’s primarily designed to explain and demonstrate the features of AutoCAD 2006. As such, this isn’t a beginner’s guide; however, if you’ve programmed in any language that can interface with other COM objects, you should be able to easily understand and use this book.
In particular, the book is aimed at programmers who use AutoCAD for daily tasks and can see the benefits of customizing and automating these tasks. I present programming techniques needed to create and modify AutoCAD drawings, customize preferences, query and set system variables, and so on, using the built-in VBA. You can customize AutoCAD to any degree of sophistication. If you can think it up, then Ibet you can use AutoCAD VBA and this book to help you achieve your goal.

Pro VB 2005 And .NET 2.0 Platform 2nd Edition

book cover

With the release of .NET 2.0, the Visual Basic .NET programming language has been officially renamed as Visual Basic 2005—perhaps in an attempt to highlight the fact that the BASIC language used with the .NET platform has nothing to do with the COM-centric VB 6.0. As you would guess, VB 2005 adds even more language features to a developer’s tool chest such as operator overloading, custom conversion routines, and generics. For all practical purposes, there really is no difference between VB 2005, C#, or any other .NET programming language. Now more than ever, an individual’s language of choice is based on personal preferences rather than the language’s overall feature set.

In any case, regardless of which group you identify with, I do welcome you to this book. The overall approach I will be taking is to treat VB 2005 as aunique member of the BASIC family. As you read over the many chapters that follow, you will be exposed to the syntax and semantics of VB 2005, dive into each of the major .NET code libraries (Windows Forms, ASP.NET, ADO.NET, XML web services, etc.), and have athorough grounding in object-oriented development.

Building Client-Server Applications with VB.NET

book cover

You are probably thinking, "This is just another .NET book." That was what I thought at first, when I was asked to read a couple of draft chapters by Jeff. Well, I have to admit that this is not just another .NET book. Jeff has really done a fine job in this book; he describes the logical process and notes the considerations you must take into account to create excellent code. He uses examples of code and personal experience to effectively illustrate his points. Furthermore, Jeff has captured some keen insights in this book that have come from the projects he has worked on in the recent past.

The reader will definitely benefit from these shared insights. I first met Jeff at a meeting with mutual customers over a year ago. Jeff was tasked with architecting, prototyping, and then leading a team of developers to create an application for this customer using the new MS .NET Framework technology that was actually in beta at the time. I worked with Jeff on several of the challenges he faced. I was impressed by his professional skills and deep technical acumen. He uncovered some issues and really put me to task in assisting him in gathering answers because when Jeff asked for help, I came to expect that it was not a trivial issue.

The MS .NET Framework technology and the MS Visual Studio .NET developer product have created a lot of buzz and excitement with developers who have taken the time to try it. The enthusiasm being shared reminds me of the Visual Basic (VB) 1.0 days more than 10 years ago. For with VB 1.0, MS Windows development became more commonplace and accessible to all. Visual Studio .NET has truly created a similar market phenomenon. The following are much more accessible to everyone: the power of object-oriented programming, services such as transactions and threading, reflections (which Jeff really does a fine job of explaining), and cross-language debugging (with more than 24 languages from which to choose).

Moreover, the innovations in ASP.NET—such as the code behind, the core Extensible Markup Language (XML) and Web Services support available in the .NET Framework, or the new dataset object in ADO.NET—all combine to open new possibilities for developers to solve complex problems quickly.

Complexity and Cryptography, An Introduction

book cover

This book originated in a well-established yet constantly evolving course on Complexity and Cryptography which we have both given to final year Mathematics undergraduates at Oxford for many years. It has also formed part of an M.Sc. course on Mathematics and the Foundations of Computer Science, and has been the basis for a more recent course on Randomness and Complexity for the same groups of students.

One of the main motivations for setting up the course was to give mathematicians, who traditionally meet little in the way of algorithms, a taste for the beauty and importance of the subject. Early on in the book the reader will have
gained sufficient background to understand what is now regarded as one of the top ten major open questions of this century, namely the P = NP question. At the same time the student is exposed to the mathematics underlying the security
of cryptosystems which are now an integral part of the modern ‘email age’. Although this book provides an introduction to many of the key topics in complexity theory and cryptography, we have not attempted to write a comprehensive text. Obvious omissions include cryptanalysis, elliptic curve cryptography, quantum cryptography and quantum computing. These omissions have allowed us to keep the mathematical prerequisites to a minimum. Throughout the text the emphasis is on explaining the main ideas and proving the mathematical results rigorously. Thus we have not given every result in complete generality.

The exercises at the end of many sections of the book are in general meant to be routine and are to be used as a check on the understanding of the preceding principle; the problems at the end of each chapter are often harder.

Beginning SQL Server 2005 Programming

book cover

SQLServer 2005 represents the 2 major revision to SQLServer since that time, and, as we did the planning for this cycle of books, we realized that we once again had a problem — it was too big. The new features of SQLServer 2005 created a situation where there was simply too much content to squeeze into one book, and so we made the choice to split the old Professional series title into a Beginning and a more targeted Professional pair of titles. You are now holding the first half of that effort.

My hope is that you find something that covers all of the core elements of SQLServer with the same success that we had in the previous Professional SQLServer Programming titles. When we’re done, you should be set to be a highly functional SQLServer 2005 programmer, and, when you need it, be ready to move on to the more advanced Professional title.

Who This Book Is For
It is almost sad that the word “Beginner” is in the title of this book. Don’t get me wrong; if you are a beginner, then this title is for you. But it is designed to last you well beyond your beginning days. What is covered in this book is necessary for the beginner, but there is simply too much information for you to remember all of it all the time, and so it is laid out in a fashion that should make a solid review and reference item even for the more intermediate, and, yes, even advanced user.

The beginning user will want to start right at the beginning. Things are designed such that just about everything in this book is a genuine “need to know” sort of thing. With the possible exception of the chapters on XML, Reporting Services and Integration Services, every item in this book is a fundamental item to you having the breadth of understanding you need to make well-informed choices on how you approach your SQLServer problems.
