Visual Studio is the only suitable environment for professional development of .NET 1.1 and. has retained global high sales, throughout the downturn. It is just about the only choice for developers in Microsoft technology. It is a complex and feature-rich vehicle mainly for C#, VB.NET and Web development and drawing out its full potential can be a challenge for novice and professional programmers alike. This book reveals and demystifies the product to enable programmers to do their job more quickly and with fewer errors. All the authors are well known in each field of .NET development and lever their hands-on experience of making the tool work in the real world. Programmers will understand how to tweak this environment to get the very best out of it and learn by seeing practical tasks put into, and through Studio, to get the best results. Ur innehållet: Introduction to VS.NET.- Building Windows Applications.- Building Web Applications.- Building Database and XML Apps.- Building Smart Device and Mobile Apps.- Source Safe.- Testing and Performance.- Project Deployment.- Crystal.- Customizing VS.NET.- Add-Ins.- Macros.- Wizards.- Enterprise Options.- Looking Forward to 2.0.- Webliography.- Project Files.- VS.NET Directory Structure.- The .NET SDK Toolkit.- VS.NET and Certification.

The move from so–called heavyweight architectures, such as Enterprise JavaBeans, toward lightweight frameworks, like Spring, has not stopped since Pro Spring was published by Rob Harrop and Jan Machacek in 2005; in fact, it's picked up pace. The Spring Framework remains the leader in this move and provides a platform on which you can build your own applications and services. Pro Spring 2.5 covers the new features of Spring 2.5, but moreover, it is focused on the best practices and core standards of contemporary Spring development. As members of the Spring development team at Cake Solutions, the author team brings extensive practical experience gained from working with Spring since version 1.0 and delivering successful systems on top of it. Learn the approaches that really matter in a professional, enterprise–level environment, so you can apply them to your projects today, safe in the knowledge that they just work.

Pro Spring is the perfect, simple answer for your lightweight, alternative J2EE development needs! Put simply, this book brings J2EE “down to earth.” Without the hassles of using the heavyweight EJB specification and similar, you can build lighter, better-performing applications using this Java-focused framework. What's more, this framework can also integrate other noteworthy and catchy open source tools like Apache Struts and Hibernate. This book lets you experience a real application being built from the ground up with Spring, using multiple Web views and frameworks (while other books tend to use only one of each).

This book is based on the very latest version of Oracle's fully J2EE-certified Application Server (previously called Oracle9iAS). Oracle Corp. is aggressively attacking this market with a new lost-cost version of the server and a program to move BEA customers onto Oracle free of charge (see http://theregister.co.uk/content/53/30031.html). Adoption interest is growing rapidly amidst favorable reports regarding performance and reliability. Deploying J2EE applications and configuring the application server are known to be the most tricky and non-standard elements of J2EE development, and thus they receive scant attention in general J2EE texts. This book provides a focused, no-frills guide to getting J2EE applications up and running on 10G. It covers Oracle's J2EE container, OC4J (available for free for development purposes), in full detail and then moves on to explain how to configure and use the various enterprise-level features that come with the commercial editions. Ur innehållet: Part 1 Getting Started with Oracle 9iAS: Overview of Features, Versions, Releases; Strategies for Development, Test, & Production Environments.- Part 2 Configuring the Standalone OC4J: Installing and Running OC4J Standalone; General Server Configuration; Configuring Data Sources; Configuring JMS; Configuring Security; Configuring Other Services.- Part 3 Configuring and Deploying J2EE Applications: Deploying J2EE Applications; Configuring Web Applications; Configuring EJBs; Configuring Connectors; Configuring Web Services; Configuring Client Applications.- Part 4 Migrating to the Full Oracle 9iAS Versions; Installation & Operation; Configuring J2EE Services; Deploying Applications; Configuring Web Caching; Configuring Enterprise Security; Configuring Clustering and Failover.- Appendixes: Appendix A: DTDs for Configuration Files; Appendix B: DTDs for Server-specific Deployment Descriptors; Appendix C: Command Line Tools; Appendix D: Debugging, Profiling and Troubleshooting.
