Head First C#: A Learner's Guide to Real-World Programming with Visual C# and .NET

Head First C#: A Learner's Guide to Real-World Programming with Visual C# and .NET By Andrew Stellman
Publisher: O'Reilly Media 2010 | 848 Pages | ISBN: 1449380344 | PDF | 24 MB

You want to learn C# programming, but you’re not sure you want to suffer through another tedious technical book. You’re in luck: Head First C# introduces this language in a fun, visual way. You’ll quickly learn everything from creating your first program to learning sophisticated coding skills with C# 4.0, Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4, while avoiding common errors that frustrate many students.

The second edition offers several hands-on labs along the way to help you build and test programs using skills you’ve learned up to that point. In the final lab, you’ll put everything together. From objects to garbage collection and from exceptions to interactions, you’ll learn C# in a way that engages and entertains your brain. Here are a few of the topics you’ll learn:

* Start by building a useful application with pre-built components in Visual Studio 2010
* Discover how objects work, using real-world examples
* Store numbers, text, and other basic data types using primitives
* Save complex data in files and databases with great C# tools
* Build intuitive and easy-to-use interfaces by following simple rules
* Design your code to catch exceptions — things you don’t expect
* Develop good programming habits, such as refactoring code and applying unit tests
* Learn how web services put your programs in touch with the rest of the world
* Make it easy for other people to install your software

About the Author
Andrew Stellman, despite being raised a New Yorker, has lived in Pittsburgh twice. The first time was when he graduated from Carnegie Mellon’s School of Computer Science, and then again when he and Jenny were starting their consulting business and writing their first project management book for O’Reilly. When he moved back to his hometown, his first job after college was as a programmer at EMI-Capitol Records–which actually made sense, since he went to LaGuardia High School of Music and Art and the Performing Arts to study cello and jazz bass guitar. He and Jenny first worked together at that same financial software company, where he was managing a team of programmers. He’s since managed various teams of software engineers, requirements analysts, and led process improvement efforts. Andrew keeps himself busy eating an enormous amount of string cheese and Middle Eastern desserts, playing music (but video games even more), studying taiji and aikido, having a girlfriend named Lisa, and owning a pomeranian.

Jennifer Greene has managed just about every aspect of software development during her career. She spent the past 15 years building software for many different kinds of companies, including small start-ups and huge companies. Jenny’s built software test teams and has helped many companies diagnose and deal with habitual process problems so they could build better software. Since her start in software test and process definition, she’s branched out into development management and project management. Jenny is currently managing a large development team for a global media company.

Pro SharePoint 2010 Solution Development: Combining .NET, SharePoint, and Office By Ed Hild, Chad Wach
Publisher: Apress 2010 | 392 Pages | ISBN: 1430227818 | PDF | 6 MB

This book takes a practical problem-solution approach to common business challenges. You’ll not only encounter interesting code samples, but also see how to combine these examples with the Microsoft collaboration platform’s services. The book’s solutions focus on using Visual Studio 2008 and its built-in Office development tools to construct the user interface layer. And solutions can interact with SharePoint as a service provider, taking advantage of SharePoint’s many collaboration features like document repositories, collaboration sites, and search functions.
This book is unique because it starts with challenges that end users deal with every day when using the Microsoft collaboration platform to support business processes. The solutions are presented as hypothetical business challenges of a fictional company. By presenting the examples in this context, author Ed Hild makes it easier to relate to the challenges and solution value. The goal of these examples is to build applications that apply the benefits of the Office desktop interface to the richness of SharePoint collaboration features. This book will help you develop real-world solutions to complex business problems and challenges.

What you’ll learn
Delve into an end-to-end walkthrough in each chapter of a practical business challenge.
See code samples, UI design, and platform integration all in the context of real-world problems.
Discover custom code and implementation advice for popular Office and SharePoint features like custom web parts, Office add-ins, SharePoint features, workflow, the Business Data Catalog, Outlook form regions, the Office Open XML file format, and more.

Who is this book for?

Core JavaServer Faces

Core JavaServer Faces By David Geary, Cay S. Horstmann
Publisher: Prentice Hall 2010 | 672 Pages | ISBN: 0137012896 | PDF | 10 MB

JavaServer Faces (JSF) is the standard Java EE technology for building web user interfaces. It provides a powerful framework for developing server-side applications, allowing you to cleanly separate visual presentation and application logic. JSF 2.0 is a major upgrade, which not only adds many useful features but also greatly simplifies the programming model by using annotations and “convention over configuration” for common tasks.

To help you quickly tap into the power of JSF 2.0, the third edition of Core JavaServer™ Faces has been completely updated to make optimum use of all the new features. The book includes
Three totally new chapters on using Facelets tags for templating, building composite components, and developing Ajax applications
Guidance on building robust applications with minimal hand coding and maximum productivity–without requiring any knowledge of servlets or other low-level “plumbing”
A complete explanation of the basic building blocks–from using standard JSF tags, to working with data tables, and converting and validating input
Coverage of advanced tasks, such as event handling, extending the JSF framework, and connecting to external services
Solutions to a variety of common challenges, including notes on debugging and troubleshooting, in addition to implementation details and working code for features that are missing from JSF
Proven solutions, hints, tips, and “how-tos” show you how to use JSF effectively in your development projects
Core JavaServer™ Faces, Third Edition, provides everything you need to master the powerful and time-saving features of JSF 2.0 and is the perfect guide for programmers developing Java EE 6 web apps on Glassfish or another Java EE 6-compliant application servers, as well as servlet runners such as Tomcat 6.
