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.

What is good code? Writing good code is really a question about what the code is trying to solve. (And good code is not to be confused with patterns because not all pieces of good code are patterns.) We debate about good code because there is not just a single piece of good code, but so many good pieces of code. And each good piece of code depends on the context in which it is used.How to Code .NET: Tips and Tricks for Coding .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0 Applications Effectively provides solutions to certain problems. That is, specific problems. This book provides detailed, authoritative explanations of good .NET coding techniques. It's based on award-winning material that author Christian Gross has previously presented at conferences throughout the U.S. and Europe. What's more, the author is at the forefront of the .NET technology wave and an acknowledged expert on the subject of .NET coding style and techniques.

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.

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)

One of the hottest new methodologies on the web, Ajax requires a lot of coding, and comes with some inherent application problems. This book provides more than 50 adaptable recipes for common tasks using Ajax, DOM Scripting, and REST techniques.

This book is for anyone who wants to write good Visual Basic 2008 code, even if you have never programmed before. Writing good code can be a challenge, there are so many options, especially in a language like Visual Basic.

Windows DNA (Distributed interNet Architecture) forms the cornerstone for building scalable, robust web applications using Microsoft technologies. Windows DNA technologies include both client and server sides. Thus, Microsoft's "client-server architecture" addresses the full spectrum of enterprise application development, for the Internet era.

Interferometry, the most precise measurement technique known today, exploits the wave-like nature of the atoms or photons in the interferometer. As expected from the laws of quantum mechanics, the granular, particle-like features of the individually independent atoms or photons are responsible for the precision limit, the shot noise limit. However this “classical” bound is not fundamental and it is the aim of quantum metrology to overcome it by employing entanglement among the particles. This work reports on the realization of spin-squeezed states suitable for atom interferometry. Spin squeezing was generated on the basis of motional and spin degrees of freedom, whereby the latter allowed the implementation of a full interferometer with quantum-enhanced precision.

Energieversorger, Planer, Unternehmer und Investoren finden hier die grundlegenden Informationen zur ökologischen und ökonomischen Umsetzung der Wärmewende.Als Einstieg sind die wesentlichen Grundlagen der Wärmeplanung im kommunalen Kontext erörtert. Am konkreten Beispiel ist ein erfolgreicher Einstieg in die Dekarbonisierung kommunaler Wärmeversorgung dargestellt. Außerdem sind die Potenziale der Selbstfinanzierung, die als Grundlage für zukunftsfähige Geschäftsmodelle und wirtschaftliches Wachstum genutzt werden können, beschrieben. Im Teil des Buches, der sich den technischen Aspekten widmet, steht nicht vorrangig das wissenschaftliche Verstehen im Vordergrund, sondern das praktische Verständnis. So sollen Planer und Entscheider besser einschätzen können, inwiefern komplexe Lösungen praktikabel und umsetzbar sind. Wichtig ist außerdem das Einbeziehen der politischen und gesellschaftlichen Entscheidungsträger. Deshalb bietet ein weiteres Kapitel umfassende und fundierte Hintergrundinformation für politische und gesellschaftliche Beteiligungsprozesse.
