Beginning ASP .NET 1.0 with Visual Basic .NET


Beginning ASP .NET 1.0 with Visual Basic .NET

ASP.NET is the latest version of Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP). It is a key element in Microsoft's new .NET Framework.
The book is for complete beginners who have no previous experience with ASP. Some experience with HTML is helpful but not required. This book will teach you everything you need to know in order to create dynamic ASP.NET web sites.
The first part of the book will familiarize you with the basic functionality of HTML, XML, ASP.NET, the .NET Framework, and Visual Basic .NET. You will learn how each of these technologies can be used together to create flexible web sites.
The second part of the book introduces the concepts of object-oriented programming. All concepts are explained in detail with the help of many real world programming examples.
After presenting the groundwork, the book then progresses to discussing the technologies and techniques that ASP.NET can draw upon to increase its functionality. These include ADO.NET for data source access, XML Web Services for inter-website communication, and Server Controls for facilitating code maintenance and reuse.
The final part of the book presents ways in which you can optimize your ASP.NET sites to increase their speed, security and robustness. It also offers some detailed advice on code debugging.

Beginning Visual Basic 2010

Beginning Visual Basic 2010

This book is designed to teach you how to write useful programs in Visual Basic 2010 as quickly and easily as possible.
There are two kinds of beginners for whom this book is ideal:
  • You're a beginner to programming and you've chosen Visual Basic 2010 as the place to start. That's a great choice! Visual Basic 2010 is not only easy to learn, it's also fun to use and very powerful.

  • You can program in another language but you're a beginner to .NET programming. Again, you've made a great choice! Whether you've come from Fortran or Visual Basic 6, you'll find that this book quickly gets you up to speed on what you need to know to get the most from Visual Basic 2010.


    Visual Basic 2010 offers a great deal of functionality in both tools and language. No one book could ever cover Visual Basic 2010 in its entirety—you would need a library of books. What this book aims to do is to get you started as quickly and easily as possible. It shows you the roadmap, so to speak, of what there is and where to go. Once we've taught you the basics of creating working applications (creating the windows and controls, how your code should handle unexpected events, what object-oriented programming is, how to use it in your applications, and so on) we’ll show you some of the areas you might want to try your hand at next:

  • Chapters 1 through 9 provide an introduction to Visual Studio 2010 and Windows programming. These chapters will help you install the Visual Studio 2010 IDE you'll use to create Visual Basic 2010 applications and learn your way around the interface. You'll be introduced to the .NET Framework and the CLR (Common Language Runtime). You'll learn to use variables, data types, comments, methods, and control software flow with the If statement and loops. You'll work with data in arrays, enumerations, constants, structures, ArrayLists, Collections, and tables. Chapter 6 provides an introduction to XAML and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) programming. XAML and WPF are the most recent addition to how VB programmers create user interfaces for their applications. You'll also work with events, create toolbars, buttons, forms, display dialog boxes, and create menus.

  • Chapter 10 provides an introduction to application debugging and error handling.

  • Chapters 11 through 13 provide an introduction to object-oriented programming (OOP) and building objects. You'll use classes, learn about reusability, work with constructors and inheritance, and see .NET Framework classes and namespaces. You’ll learn to work with OOP memory management, class libraries, you'll register assemblies, and see how to use third party class libraries.

  • Chapter 14 provides an introduction to creating Windows Forms user controls. While WPF user interfaces are newer, Windows forms are still in widespread use. You'll create and test controls and work with their properties.

  • Chapters 15 and 16 provide an introduction to programming with databases and covers Access, SQL Server, and ADO.NET. The chapters walk you through the SQL SELECT statement, Access queries, data access components, and data binding.

  • Chapters 17 and 18 provide an introduction to Dynamic Data Web Sites and ASP.NET and show you how to write applications for the Web. You'll work with the most current ASP.NET 4 web techniques in Visual Studio 2010.

  • Chapter 19 provides a brief introduction to XML, a powerful tool for integrating your applications with others—regardless of the language they were written in.

  • Chapter 20 introduces you to deploying applications using ClickOnce technology.

Dive Into Python 3

Dive Into Python 3

Python now comes in two flavors–Python 3 and Python 2. The philosophy of programming in Python 3 diverges from Python 2 to the point that print statements written in three don’t even run properly in two. Unfortunately, so many of the books written using Python over the last few years are still using version 2.6 – which is backwards compatible with all previous versions. If you are buying this book because you are taking a class in which the teacher is using Python rather than teaching it -bioinformatics or visualization for example – this may cause you trouble. If you need to learn 2.6 or an earlier version of Python 2, please buy the previous edition.
If you are learning Python for the first time and it’s up to you as to what flavor of Python to learn, then I suggest you start with Python 3. It does fix some longtime problems with the Python language. In that case, this edition of “Dive Into Python” is what you want.
I tend to learn languages more readily if I write a simple program first then add to its complexity by having more complex aspects of the language revealed to me, which is basically the approach of “Dive Into Python”. What worked best for me when I learned Python 2 was to read the free online guide “Dive Into Python” which is incomplete but top-down, then switch to “Learning Python”, which is detailed but more academic and more of a bottom-up approach. For example, while this book is about 500 pages, the new “Learning Python” book by Mark Lutz is 1200 pages long.
The author of this book has continued his tradition of placing his book online free of charge if you wish to look through it. I have read this updated version in order to update to Python 3. However, the author realizes that if you like his book you’ll want a copy for yourself to carry about and in which to scribble notes. Sometimes you can make more money by being generous.
In summary, I highly recommend this book as a way to get started, but then you’ll probably want to proceed to “Learning Python” for advanced topics and as a reference.

Game Theory: A Critical Introduction

Game Theory: A Critical Introduction

An introduction to game theory for those who approach the field with some skepticism. The book gives you all the important essential elements of non-cooperative and evolutionary game theory but with a much deeper emphasis on understanding its essential methodological and philosophical underpinnings yet without too much formalism. The authors do a superb job of introducing the topics via a tour of important moral, political, and philosophical ideas and debates mentioning Marx, Smith, Hobbes, Habermas, Hume, Locke and others. The book takes several detours to offer useful expositions of terms and debates such as methodological individualism, common knowledge, equilibrium, learning, morality, norms, etc. I’d recommend this book for two types of people: (1) those who plan to read just one book about game theory (because you don’t think it’s your cup of tea); and (2) those who plan on learning game theory rigorously (so that you can get a picture of the forest before getting lost in the trees).

This is not just one of my favorite books amongst the several books that I have read on game theory and mechanism design, but also one of the most thumbed book in my entire book collection.

Information Modeling and Relational Databases: From Conceptual Analysis to Logical Design

Information Modeling and Relational Databases: From Conceptual Analysis to Logical Design

Dr. Terry Halpin makes a compelling case for designing databases using a method called Object Role Modeling (ORM), and teaches the reader how to use the method.
Review: A properly designed database is critical to the success of business applications. Developers love good database designs because they are much easier to code against, and they make it much easier to accommodate the business requirements of the user, which is after all the purpose of the application. Everyone recognizes the need for good data design, but few people know how fill that need. A good database design requires a good data model, where does one learn how to create a good data model? If you are looking for one book that will really make a difference the next time you design a database, look no further than Information Modeling and Relational Databases by Dr. Terry Halpin.
Halpin’s writing style is clear and interesting, and the numerous examples he uses make the concepts easier to digest. Besides examples within the text, each subsection of the book has a complete set of exercises. Comparing your answers with the supplied answers is a great way to make sure you’ve absorbed the material. This book is very comprehensive; it starts with simple concepts, and ends with discussions of relational algebra, UML and ER modeling, in addition to Halpin’s preferred method, Object Role Modeling (ORM).
Halpin’s presentation and explanation of ORM sets this book apart from other data modeling books. As Halpin explains it, the focus in ORM is on business facts, not abstract data structures. As a professional database designer, one of the most common (and often valid) criticisms I encounter is that data modelers often seem too far removed from the business or too “theoretical”.
Genuinely good theories should have practical benefits, which is certainly the case with ORM. Object Role Modeling has a very solid theoretical foundation (indeed it is grounded in logic and philosophy), but the application of ORM is very practical. Throughout the book, one is struck by how often Halpin emphasizes the importance of getting real examples from the users. Of course, many books will tell you how important it is to get requirements from the users, but they don’t outline a simple, usable method for actually doing it.
Halpin outlines such a method in the “Conceptual Schema Design Procedure” (CSDP). The CSDP is a step-by-step guide to using ORM for producing a first class data model based on business requirements. The CSDP walks one through the entire process, from familiarization with the business to the final quality checks on the model. ORM and the CSDP provide a simple way to organize, manipulate and validate the business knowledge that you glean from the users.
Halpin calls ORM a conceptual modeling method. So what does an ORM conceptual model look like? At its core an ORM conceptual model is a set of simple assertions about the data for a particular business and how those data relate. Examples are “Employee drives Car” and “Car is made by Manufacturer” etc. Such assertions are known as sentence types. Each of these sentence types alone deals with only a small part of the business data, but taken as a collection, the sentence types form a complete picture of the data that must be stored and manipulated in the business environment.
Every one of these sentence types is populated (i.e. turned from a general statement into specific examples) with sample data. The sample data can either be supplied directly by the users, or created by the users and database designer as part of the design sessions. Once the sentence types are populated, you apply constraints that regulate the allowable populations.
ORM’s constraint language is very expressive. Using ORM, you can directly model such constraints as “No person can review a book which s/he has written”, “No employee can have insurance unless s/he is full time”, and “An ambassador can be assigned to a country only if s/he is fluent in one of the languages spoken in that country”. Other modeling methods have trouble with these kinds of constraints, but ORM takes them in stride. Expressing these constraints in the data model makes it easier to enforce the rules in the resulting application.
There is an accompanying graphical representation for ORM models, but the entire model can be expressed in terms of (indeed originated as) simple sentences with real sample data and rules. Halpin correctly argues that users can validate these simple sentences much more easily than they can validate graphical representations of data structures (e.g. tables and keys).
Once you have the completed conceptual model, it is quite easy to create a relational (or object-relational) schema on which to base your application. Halpin provides a simple algorithm for automatically generating a relational schema from an ORM conceptual model. The generated schema is automatically normalized as a result of the mapping process. Because of this automatic normalization feature, Halpin’s discussion of normalization, while complete, is not as lengthy as the discussions found in some other books.
I recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in the design of database applications. If you are not interested in design, let me put it another way: If you have ever written (or directed someone to write) a CREATE TABLE statement, you need this book! People who have never done data modeling will be well served by learning this method first, and accomplished modelers can learn a technique that will greatly improve their communication with their users, and yield higher quality results.
