Editorial Review:

Mobile .NET begins by examining a wide variety of different wireless Internet devices. These devices are divided into two main divisions: those that are directly supported by .NET (Pocket PCs, i-Mode phones, and WAP devices) and those that are not (Palm OS and J2ME-powered devices). By the end of this book, you'll be able to make .NET work equally well with all of the devices.

In the middle section of the book, the advantages of .NET as a development platform are first introduced. You'll produce a .NET web application capable of serving up stock quotes to virtually any wireless device as an exercise, building on it chapter by chapter. The section concludes with a demonstration of how you can invoke .NET Web services, the cornerstone of Microsoft's new "programmable Internet," from each of the wireless devices mentioned previously.

Mobile .NET concludes by drilling deep down into the technologies provided by .NET specifically for use with wireless devices. The Mobile Internet Toolkit, which can automatically adapt the output of a .NET web application based upon the special needs of differing client devices, is discussed first. Next, Microsoft's mobile data strategy and the main technologies underlying it, SQL Server (CE and desktop versions), XML, and ADO.NET, are discussed. Finally, in a special technology sneak preview, author Derek Ferguson unveils Microsoft's latest piece of mobile .NET technology, which brings the power of .NET development directly to handheld devices: the .NET Compact Framework.

Author has to to more homework before writing a book. 1 out of 5 stars.
8 of 11 people found this review helpful.

The book is poorly structured and confusing the reader. Below is the example from the book.

====================================================
Line IA045 would place the locations in intLocation three times, but only the last entry would appear in intLocation when the loop ended.

2.
Lines IA042-045 are modified with lines IA046-049:


IA042: int intLocation = -1;

IA043: for(int kk = 0 ; kk < 12 ; kk++)
IA044: {
IA045: if(intArrayNumbers[kk] == intReferenceNumber)
IA046: {
IA047: intLocation = kk;
IA048: break;
IA049: }
IA050: }



3.
When the if statement in line IA045 is satisfied, then the break statement in line IA048 is executed. The break statement causes the program to exit from the if statement in line IA045 and the for statement in line IA043. So the next line executed is the one below IA050.
================================================

The author explained a very simple for loop in a very difficult way to understand. Besides, i believe the author native language is not english. I really don't know what he want to express. The information is definitely out of date. For instance, this book encourage people to use hungarian notation where microsoft suggest eliminate hungarian long time ago.The naming convention is terrible. It doesn't follow the industry standard at all.

it seems to me the author is never write a real world application at all. I don't mean to hurt the author but i just hope he can do more homework before writing the book. At least read some others books from microsoft press, oreily, wrox, apress publishers. They are real world developers and take programming seriously.

Sorry for the 1 star and i think this is what the book reserve.

Editorial Review:

This text is a handbook of instructions written for the programmer or analyst that shows how to insert common algorithmic functions in C# into one's source code. The code is listed on a companion CD for easy transfer to one's current C# program. The first 12 chapters discuss specifics of the Visual C# compiler: the integrated developer environment (IDE); moving projects from one location to another; passing information between windows; Visual C# code placement; classes, constructors, overloading, and helps; data types and declarations; conversions between data types; string manipulation and on-line data storage; branching and looping; and arithmetic.

Editorial Review:

This essential guide to Microsoft's ADO.NET overviews C#, then leads you toward deeper understanding of ADO.NET. Author Mahesh Chand provides key information about using each of .NET's major data providers, including OLE DB, SQL Server, and the released version of ODBC. Also featured are the methods and properties associated with these data providers' classes. Further, Chand shows you how to work with XML classes, integrate XML into the ADO .NET architecture, and manipulate XML to transfer, read, and store data.

A Programmer's Guide to ADO.NET in C# supplies you with handy ideas for taking advantage of the Visual Studio .NET IDE, and for linking data with powerful Windows and Web Forms, including the multifaceted DataGrid control. Also included is discussion about using ADO.NET to develop Web applications and create Web services.

The easy-to-follow, visually rich examples illustrate creating and executing stored procedures, working with triggers and views, creating and updating tables, and handling events in ADO.NET. Extremely thorough, this book even explains how to develop a web-based guest book.

Editorial Review:

By now, Scheme is a well-established programming language and is finding increasing popularity in programming courses for undergraduates. Its expressive capabilities are matched by a simplicity of language and ease-of-use which have made its adherents disciples! This textbook provides a comprehensive first course in Scheme and covers all of its major features: abstraction, functional programming, data types, recursion, and semantic programming. Although the primary goal of this text is to teach students to program in Scheme, it will be suitable for any student studying a general programming principles course. Each chapter is divided into three sections: core, appendix , and problems. Most essential topics are covered in the core section, but it is assumed that most students will read the appendices and solve most of the problems. (Nearly all of the problems require students to write short Scheme procedures.) As well as providing a thorough grounding in Scheme, the author discusses in depth different programming paradigms. An important theme throughout is that of "meta-programming": the perspective that programs themselves can be treated as data, and hence can be analyzed and modified as objects. This provides insight into topics such as type-checking and overloading which might otherwise be missed.

Editorial Review:

Maintaining a balance between a theoretical and practical approach to this important subject, Elements of Compiler Design serves as an introduction to compiler writing for undergraduate students. From a theoretical viewpoint, it introduces rudimental models, such as automata and grammars, that underlie compilation and its essential phases. Based on these models, the author details the concepts, methods, and techniques employed in compiler design in a clear and easy-to-follow way. From a practical point of view, the book describes how compilation techniques are implemented. In fact, throughout the text, a case study illustrates the design of a new programming language and the construction of its compiler. While discussing various compilation techniques, the author demonstrates their implementation through this case study. In addition, the book presents many detailed examples and computer programs to emphasize the applications of the compiler algorithms. After studying this self-contained textbook, students should understand the compilation process, be able to write a simple real compiler, and easily follow advanced books on the subject.
