If you're developing applications that access Oracle databases, you can save time and effort by having the database do more work for you. That's where this book comes in.This book teaches you how to write SQL statements to efficiently retrieve and update the data in an Oracle database. It teaches you how to design and create a database because that provides insight into performance and security issues. It teaches you how to use Oracle's procedural language (PL/SQL) to take advantage of powerful features like transactions, stored procedures, functions, and triggers. And it teaches you how to host an Oracle database in the cloud and use SQL Developer to run SQL statements against that database.The result? You'll learn how to write the kind of SQL and PL/SQL that makes you a more effective and valuable developer or analyst.

If you know the basics of C#, you're ready to learn how to create web applications using Microsoft's powerful technology, ASP.NET Core MVC (Model-View-Controller). And there's no more practical way to do it than with this book.

Murach's top authors have finally tackled C++ programming, rethinking the whole approach. So this book takes advantage of the modern techniques to make it easier to learn C++ than ever before. It's organized in a logical way that gets you off to a fast start with a practical subset of today's C++, and then builds out your coding and OOP skills to the professional level. With that foundation in place, it also covers older techniques so you'll be able to maintain the vast amount of legacy code that's out there, as well as work with embedded systems that don't support the newer techniques.

PHP and MySQL are two of today's most popular, open-source tools for server-side web programming. And with this book, you'll learn right from the start how to use them together, the way the pros do. In fact, you'll create a database-driven website that implements the MVC pattern in the first 6 chapters Then, the rest of the chapters show you how to build out your PHP and MySQL skills to the professional level.

This is the 5th Edition of our best-selling core Java book. Since 2001, it has been used by thousands of beginning and experienced programmers to master the core language skills that are needed to create console, web, and mobile applications. Now, to make training even easier, this book shows you how to develop Java programs using the two most popular IDEs that will boost your programming productivity.

If you want to learn how to develop professional Android apps and deploy them to the Google Play store, don't miss our new book: Murach's Android Programming (2nd Edition). To start, it shows how to use Android Studio and Java to develop a Tip Calculator app for a smartphone or tablet. Then, it expands upon this app to show must-have Android skills such as working with layouts, widgets, events, themes, styles, menus, preferences, and fragments. Next, this book presents two more apps that illustrate Android skills you'll use every day, such as working with threads, files, adapters, intents, services, notifications, broadcast receivers, SQLite databases, content providers, and app widgets. Finally, this book presents an app that uses the Google Maps API and shows you how to submit your finished apps to the Google Play store. The real-world apps let you see how the programmer skills you're learning work together, and they illustrate how and when you'd use each skill. And all the content is presented in Murach distinctive paired-pages style that developers find so clear and time-saving for both training and reference.

Now, this 2nd Edition does an even better job of delivering the real-world skills you need to develop database-driven websites using PHP and MySQL, two of today's most popular open-source software tools. Section 1 is a quick-start course that shows how to use the latest versions of PHP, MySQL, the Apache web server, and the NetBeans IDE to build your first PHP applications. And right from the start, you'll learn to create applications that conform to the MVC pattern, so they'll be easier to maintain as they grow. Then, Section 2 takes you deep into PHP by covering the skills you'll use every day in professional applications, like how to work with form data, dates, arrays, sessions, cookies, functions, objects, regular expressions, and exceptions. Likewise, Section 3 dives into MySQL, teaching you how to design and create a database, as well as how to access and maintain the data in a database like the professionals do. Finally, Section 4 teaches you important web programming skills lik
