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.

(Details are printed inside the book.) ASP.NET 2.0 is the latest version of Microsoft's revolutionary ASP.NET technology. It is the principal standard for creating dynamic web pages on the Windows platform. ASP.NET 2.0 boasts a range of important new features that make it superior to any Windows web-presentation technology that has come before it. A few of these are: Masterpages let you define your site's look and feel once and apply it across all your web forms. Themes and skins make for easy customization of your site's look and feel. Generics these much vaunted new additions to the .NET Framework allow you to create a data structure without committing to a specific data type -- they'll revolutionize the way you code Personalization -- ASP.NET 2.0 makes it easier than ever before to create customized experiences tailored for individual users. These, combined with improvements in everything from speed (ASP.NET 2.0 pages are faster to both write and serve), administration , data access, security and scalability make ASP.NET 2.0 the leading force in .NET web development. Seasoned .N ET professionals Matthew MacDonald and Mario Szpuszta explain how you can get the most from this ground-breaking new technology. They cover ASP.NET 2.0 as a whole, illustrating both the brand-new features and the functionality carried over from previous versions of ASP. This book will give you the knowledge you need to code real ASP.NET 2.0 application in the best possible style. The book will teach you ASP.NET 2.0 in five clear steps. You will learn: Core concepts of ASP.NET 2.0. Why it's special. What its fundamental principals are. The basics of Visual Studio. How ASP.NET 2.0 controls are created, and how they fit into ASP.NET 2.0 pages, ultimately creating full applications Data access details. The intricacies of ADO.NET 2.0 and how to perform data binding to many sources--from databases, to file-streams, to XML Security. Once considered the Achilles heel of all Windows web applications, security has been completely revamped in ASP.NET 2.0. This section explains the various forms of available security, and how to best apply them Taking things further using Advanced User Interface Techniques. This includes User Controls, Customer Server Controls, client-side JavaScript and GDI+.This is where the real strength of ASP. NET 2.0 lies Web Services.

The foundations that began their life as WinFX (Windows Pres- tation, Windows Communication, and Windows Workflow) became a shipping Microsoft product named .NET Framework 3.0 in November 2006. I actually started to learn and use all three of these foundations at the same time in my day job. Talk about a massive learning curve. While I was impressed with the flexibility and capabilities of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), I was somehow inexplicably drawn to Windows Workflow Foundation (WF). WF isn't just a new way to implement a user interface or a new way to communicate between applications and services. WF represents a completely new way to develop applications. It is declarative, visual, and infinitely flexible. It promotes a model that cleanly separates what to do from when to do it. This separation allows you to change the workflow model (the when) without affecting the what. Business logic is implemented as a set of discrete, testable components that are assembled into workflows like building blocks. Workflow isn't a new concept. But when Microsoft spends years developing a workflow foun- tion and provides it to us without cost, it is an event worth noting. Other workflow frameworks exist, but WF is the de facto standard workflow framework for Windows applications.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49632071549201,"sku":"GOR004225341","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52127091753233,"sku":"NLS9781430209751","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53519410626833,"sku":"NIN9781430209751","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1430209755.jpg?v=1751305012"},{"product_id":"pro-visual-c-cli-and-the-net-2-0-platform-book-stephen-rg-fraser-9781590596401","title":"Pro Visual C++\/CLI and the .NET 2.0 Platform","description":"This book explains how to write .NET 2.0 applications and services.

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 (a la ADO.NET).Furthermore, you will explore how to build distributed applications using the .

It's not hard to see why. You give over control of the system to a program that often demands Administrator privilege and that then starts updating some of the most fragile parts of your system. You might know the actual product being installed quite well, but there's rarely any documentation about what the installation of it will do to your system. It might install kernel drivers or Services, it might alter your personal settings without your permission, and it might result in other applications on your system no longer working. For a company building and shipping software, the installation might be the first time the customer has seen your product or your company, and it's your opportunity to make a lasting impression one way or the other. An unreliable installation will affect the cus- tomer's image of you for a long time. The goal of this book is to show you how to build safe and secure installa- tions. Its focus is Windows Installer technology on the Windows NT series of operating systems for Windows 2000 and above, and you'll build example pro- jects as Visual Studio Setup and Deployment Projects. Aside from the actual nuts and bolts of building Windows Installer-based installations, I'll offer advice on how to build a reliable installation and what you should and shouldn't do.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50383223456017,"sku":"CIN1590592972VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50504046706961,"sku":"GOR003943961","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52106937925905,"sku":"CIN1590592972G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52143716303121,"sku":"NLS9781590592977","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1590592972.jpg?v=1753686482"},{"product_id":"expert-net-2-0-il-assembler-book-serge-lidin-9781590596463","title":"Expert .NET 2.0 IL Assembler","description":"Expert .NET 2.0 IL Assember drills down into the internal structures and operations of the .NET common language runtime and teaches you how to master the IL assembly language, ILAsm.

My job is to bring them to your attention, and it's your choice whether you use them. Generally, there are two categories of standards: internal and external. Internal standards are those standards that are in-house standards, whereas external standards are standards that are used between organizations to standardize a selection of industry practices (e.g., IE-1016 documentation for software design or IE-830 software requirements standard). There are two leading organizations that develop external standards relevant to architects and developers: IE and W3C. Whereas IE focuses on standards for a wide range of ind- tries, including information technology, W3C has a sharper focus on Internet technology. ?Note IE-SA is an acronym for Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Standards Association.

Applications are becoming more and more distributed, connecting heterogeneous systems. With such a radical change, the role of XML is highly significant. XML has already established itself as a standard way of data encoding and transfer. No wonder that Microsoft's .NET Framework provides such a strong support for XML. Data access, raw parsing, configu- tion, code documentation, and web services are some of the examples where .NET harnesses the power and flexibility of XML. The .NET Framework comes with a plethora of classes that allow you to work with XML data. This book demystifies XML and allied technologies. Reading and writing XML data, using DOM, ADO.NET integration with XML, SQL Server XML features, applying XSLT style sheets, SOAP, web services, and configuration systems are some of the topics that this book explores in detail. Real-world examples scattered throughout the book will help you understand the pr- tical use of the topic under consideration. The book will also act as a handy reference when developers go on the job.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52479896158481,"sku":"NLS9781590598252","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53605471355153,"sku":"CIN1590598253G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781590598252.jpg?v=1759849408"},{"product_id":"foundations-of-wf-book-brian-myers-9781590597187","title":"Foundations of WF","description":"Foundations of WF: An Introduction to Windows Workflow Foundation introduces you to using Visual Studio 2005 and the Windows Workflow Foundation (part of Windows Vista) to create workflow packages.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52484344545553,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52484345692433,"sku":"NLS9781590597187","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781590597187.jpg?v=1759856145"},{"product_id":"pro-visual-studio-2005-team-system-application-development-book-steve-shrimpton-9781590596821","title":"Pro Visual Studio 2005 Team System Application Development","description":"Visual Studio 2005 Team System is a large and complex product, and is arguably the most sophisticated development environment that Microsoft has ever built.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52486301384977,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52486302236945,"sku":"NLS9781590596821","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781590596821.jpg?v=1759859022"},{"product_id":"expert-f-book-antonio-cisternino-9781484220375","title":"Expert F#","description":"Expert F# is about practical programming in a beautiful language that puts the power and elegance of functional programming into the hands of .NET developers. In combination with .NET, F# achieves unrivaled levels of programmer productivity and program clarity. This books serves as     The authoritative guide to F# by the designer of F#  A comprehensive reference of F# concepts, syntax, and features  A treasury of expert F# techniques for practical, real–world programming    While inspired by OCaml, F# isn't just another functional programming language. Drawing on many of the strengths of both OCaml and .NET, it's a general–purpose language ideal for real–world development. F# integrates functional, imperative, and object–oriented programming styles so you can flexibly and elegantly solve programming problems, and brings .NET development alive with interactive execution. Whatever your background, you'll find that F# is easy to learn, fun to use, and extraordinarily powerful. F# will help change the way you think about and go about programming.    Written by F#'s designer and two active contributors, Expert F# is the authoritative, comprehensive, and in–depth guide to the language and its use. Designed to help others become experts, the book gives a thorough introduction to the F# language from quick essentials to in–depth advanced topics such as active pattern matching, aggregate data types and operators, sequence expressions, lazy values, mutable data and side–effects, generics, type augmentations, functional decomposition and code organization.    The second half of the book is devoted to examining the practical application of F#, providing elegant solutions to common programming tasks including user interface implementation, data access, web and distributed programming, symbolic and numerical computations, concurrent programming, testing, profiling, andinteroperability with other languages.

The foundations in WinFX (Windows Presentation, Windows Communication, and Windows Workflow) have now finally made their way into a shipping Microsoft product: .NET 3.0. I actually started to learn and use all three of these foundations at the same time in my day job. Talk about a massive learning curve. While I was impressed with the flexibility and capabilities of Windows Presentation Foundation and Windows Communication Foundation, I was somehow inexplicably drawn to Windows Workflow Foundation (WF). WF isn't just a new way to implement a user interface, or a new way to communicate between applications and services. WF represents a completely new way to develop applications. It is declarative, visual, and infinitely flexible. It promotes a model that cleanly separates what to do from when to do it. This separation allows you to change the workflow model (the when) without affecting the what. Business logic is implemented as a set of discrete, testable components that are assembled into workflows like building blocks. Workflow isn't a new concept. But when Microsoft spends years developing a workflow foun- tion and provides it to us without cost, it is an event worth noting. Other workflow frameworks exist, but WF will soon become the de facto standard workflow framework for Windows applications.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52618113614097,"sku":"NLS9781590597781","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53562104807697,"sku":"NIN9781590597781","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781590597781.jpg?v=1761532243"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/expert-s-voice-in-net-ser-book-series.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
