ASP .Net 3.5 A Beginner's Guide

ASP .Net 3.5 A Beginner's Guide

448 pages | PDF | 13,1 MB

This book is written for the developer who wants to get started using server-side programming in ASP.NET 3.5 and C# 3.0. Ideally, the reader is familiar with HTML and has a good sense of the Internet and web pages. It is meant to be a first book for those who are serious about crafting Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) and want to get up and running as quickly as possible.

What distinguishes the web hobbyist from the professional developer is the ability to store and retrieve data from a server over the Internet. Some readers may have made that step with PHP or Perl, and for them the journey has already begun. For others, ASP.NET 3.5 is just the next step in the growth and development of ASP.NET. For them, much will be familiar and some will be very new. If the transition is from ASP.NET using Visual Basic to ASP.NET with C#, then you will find even more new, and the transition to C# is going to be easier than many imagine. Still others are making the first step into the realm of server-side programming, so just about everything about ASP.NET 3.5 and C# 3.0 is new.

An Introduction to PHP for Scientists and Engineers: Beyond JavaScript

An Introduction to PHP for Scientists and Engineers:

Beyond JavaScript

PDF | 85 Pages | 2.65 MB

PHP, originally created in 1994 as a ‘Personal Home Page’ tool, is a server-side programming language that can be used to solve numerous computing problems that a client-side language like JavaScript cannot.

This highly useful text/reference presents key information needed to write your own online science and engineering applications, including reading, creating and manipulating data files stored as text on a server, thereby overcoming the limitations of a client-side language. This book focuses on those elements of the language - such as file input/output, arrays, built-in math functions, and user-created functions - that are essential for solving a wide range of scientific/engineering computing problems. It assumes a working knowledge of HTML, programming concepts, and JavaScript, C or a similar language.

Features: - Offers a working knowledge of PHP, essential for server-side programming, - Includes detailed code examples to guide the reader, - Contains several complete applications that show how to take advantage of server-side programming capabilities, - Extremely accessible, and ideal for self-study, - Provides an author-supported supplementary website containing code examples (www.pages.drexel.edu/~brooksdr/DRB_web_page/BookCode/PHPBookCode.htm), - Directly addresses the needs of engineers, scientists and working professionals by explaining precisely those components of PHP required.

This concise applications-oriented text is an exceptional shortcut to learning the essentials of PHP and is ideal for self-study or course use.

Dr. Brooks has authored several successful Springer titles, including: Problem Solving with Fortran 90 for Scientists and Engineers; C Programming: The Essentials for Engineers and Scientists; and An Introduction to HTML and JavaScript for Scientists and Engineers.

PHP 6 and MySQL 5 for Dynamic Web Sites: Visual QuickPro Guide

PHP 6 and MySQL 5 for Dynamic Web Sites: Visual QuickPro Guide

PDF | 648 Pages | 13.34 MB

It hasn't taken Web developers long to discover that when it comes to creating dynamic, database-driven Web sites, MySQL and PHP provide a winning open source combination. Add this book to the mix, and there's no limit to the powerful, interactive Web sites that developers can create. With step-by-step instructions, complete scripts, and expert tips to guide readers, veteran author and database designer Larry Ullman gets right down to business:

After grounding readers with separate discussions of first the scripting language (PHP) and then the database program (MySQL), he goes on to cover security, sessions and cookies, and using additional Web tools, with several sections devoted to creating sample applications.

This guide is indispensable for intermediate- to advanced level Web designers who want to replace their static sites with something dynamic. In this edition, the bulk of the new

material covers the latest versions of both technologies: PHP 6 (due out in 2008) and MySQL5

(available now). The book's publication date is likely to beat the official release of PHP6,

making it one of the first books available on the subject.

Head First Ajax 2008

Head First Ajax 2008

PDF | 478 Pages | 24.5 MB

Ajax is no longer an experimental approach to website development, but the key to building browser-based applications that form the cornerstone of Web 2.0. Head First Ajax gives you an up-to-date perspective that lets you see exactly what you can do -- and has been done -- with Ajax. With it, you get a highly practical, in-depth, and mature view of what is now a mature development approach.

Using the unique and highly effective visual format that has turned Head First titles into runaway bestsellers, this book offers a big picture overview to introduce Ajax, and then explores the use of individual Ajax components -- including the JavaScript event model, DOM, XML, JSON, and more -- as it progresses. You'll find plenty of sample applications that

illustrate the concepts, along with exercises, quizzes, and other interactive features to help you retain what you've learned.

The book also discusses the server-side implications of building Ajax applications, and uses a "black box" approach to server-side components. Head First Ajax is the ideal guide for experienced web developers comfortable with scripting -- particularly those who have completed the exercises in Head First JavaScript -- and for experienced programmers in Java, PHP, and C# who want to learn client-side programming.
