Professional ASP.NET Web Forms Techniques


"Professional ASP.NET Web Forms Techniques" by Alex Homer
Publisher: Wrox Press Ltd | 10 Nov 2002 | ISBN: 1861007868 | PDF | 18.06 Mb | 570 Pages

This book examines the possibilities for developing user interfaces that are driven by ASP.NET. It discusses and explores a range of techniques and approaches predominantly for creating Web sites and Web pages that are:

Intuitive and easy to use
Attractive and full-featured
Interactive where this is appropriate
Based (loosely) on a real-world scenario
Designed according to a predefined set of requirements
Fun, memorable, and provide user satisfaction

The pages we build are, for the most part, elements of an overall application that - while being somewhat optimistic as regards consumer buying patterns - does form the basis for the kind of Web site/application that is becoming one of the basic ingredients of the World Wide Web today. We'll be building a site that allows the user to choose, customize and purchase a new car or truck from the world-famous "Wrox Car Company"

Professional Silverlight 2 for ASP.NET Developers


Jonathan Swift, Salvador Alvarez Patuel, Chris Barker, Dan Wahlin, "Professional Silverlight 2 for ASP.NET Developers"
Wrox | 2009 | ISBN: 0470277750 | 672 pages | PDF | 7,9 MB

Our overarching goal in writing this book was to give ASP.NET developers the power to quickly and easily create visually stunning Internet applications, coupled with rich interactivity to fully immerse the user in a new online experience. Silverlight gives you everything you need to do just this, and in serious style!

As well as taking you through each feature that ships with Silverlight, this book will make sure you’re able to debug, troubleshoot, and performance-tune your Silverlight applications, as well as seamlessly hook into your existing ASP.NET architecture and code base.

This book is aimed at .NET developers and architects who want to quickly get up to speed with all that Silverlight 2 has to offer.

As well as covering the breadth of features that Silverlight 2 provides, this book makes a point of demonstrating where necessary how the particular feature can be integrated tightly with the ASP.NET host application. An example is in Chapter 7, where the ASP.NET Profile service is utilized directly from within Silverlight to obtain user-specific data.

It’s fair to say that although this book is aimed at ASP.NET developers, it covers all of the salient features of Silverlight 2 to the degree that it’s a useful programming resource for developers not using ASP.NET also.

If you’re fresh to .NET development, however, you might want to check out a beginning .NET book first, to help you overcome the syntax and set-up queries when learning a new language. Otherwise, take a deep breath and dive in!

This book covers the full feature set of Silverlight 2, diving into each of the subject areas to give depth and breadth coverage. As well as teaching you about the component parts of the Silverlight API, the book also covers debugging, troubleshooting, and performance-tuning your Silverlight applications, arming you with all the skills and knowledge you’ll need to create advanced Silverlight-based applications in record time.

Importantly, this book covers the integration points between ASP.NET and Silverlight, taking you through the different techniques you can use to seamlessly augment your existing or new ASP.NET web sites with the power of Silverlight.

If you want to program in Silverlight and potentially use ASP.NET as the host, then this book covers it all.

The book is split into two distinct parts. Part I is titled “Silverlight Fundamentals for ASP.NET Developers,” and Part II is titled “Developing ASP.NET Applications with Silverlight.” Part I is intended to give you grounding in what Silverlight is as a technology and how it fits into the Web-based landscape. The component pieces of a Silverlight application are also laid out at a high level, and any knowledge required before putting an application together is explained.

Part II is written to give you depth of knowledge across the Silverlight feature-set and show you how to leverage the power of both Silverlight and ASP.NET to create compelling applications.

Developing Web Applications with Apache, MySQL, memcached, and Perl


Patrick Galbraith, "Developing Web Applications with Apache, MySQL, memcached, and Perl"
Wrox | 2009-07-07 | ISBN: 0470414642 | 888 pages | PDF | 4,3 MB

Adding a cache layer to the popular LAMP stack is becoming the common solution to significantly reduce the load on back–end databases, and also allows for better web application performance. This new caching component is represented by another "m" in LAMMP, which stands for memcached—a high–performance, distributed memory object caching system that provides caching for web applications. The author walks you through the process of using Perl to develop web applications both in terms of the front–end display logic as well as the back–end data retrieval from MySQL and memcached. You also see how to configure the Apache web server to run these mod—perl applications.
You?ll discover that MySQL and memcached are where the data is stored, and Apache is the server that hosts this functionality. You?ll also examine each system while you learn how to install, set up, and administer it.

The book shows you how to put each of these systems together so you can start building successful applications. Helpful examples put in practice the information covered throughout the book and a problem–solving chapter offers real–world problems and the process of how you might go about finding a solution to them.

What you will learn from this book

•How to install, configure, and work with MySQL particularly basic concepts involving data, joins, and indexes as well as advanced usage of triggers, stored procedures, user–defined functions, storage engine usage, and more!
•A Perl refresher on basic concepts as well as how to work with data from MySQL using various Perl data types
•A chapter on object–oriented Perl
•How to the use Sphinx storage engine for full–text searching as well as Gearman to distribute tasks
•How to install and configure Apache 2.2 to work with mod—perl 2.0
•How to use mod—perl handlers to develop web applications, including working with Ajax
•A sample search engine application that puts together the various technologies discussed in the book

Who this book is for
This book is for developers who want to write applications using MySQL, memcached, Apache, and Perl, and are interested in improving the development process and efficiency.

Wrox Professional guides are planned and written by working programmers to meet the real–world needs of programmers, developers, and IT professionals. Focused and relevant, they address the issues technology professionals face every day.
