As I write this, Visual Studio .NET 2003 has been in the hands of developers for slightly over a year, and it has become one of the most popular development tools of all time for the Microsoft platform. Visual Studio .NET 2003 is an incremental release of the Visual Studio IDE, and it includes a similarly incremental release of the .NET Framework, version 1.1. The significance of the changes in this release cannot be overlooked, although the basic philosophy has not changed from the original version. The differences in this release are a particular topic in this book, though we will also be reviewing some features that have changed little. This book offers you the practical experience and wisdom drawn from a wide team of programmers who use Visual Studio .NET in their work every day. After a year of using Visual Studio .NET in a production environment, everyone has, of course, grown wiser in the use of this great product. This book brings you what we have learned across the depth and breadth ofVisual Studio .NET. Without further ado, then, let us dig into the depths of the Visual Studio .NET IDE, a look at the versions provided by Microsoft, and an overview of the rest of this book.

ASP. NET IS NOT ONLY the latest version of Microsoft's Active Server Pages {ASP), it is a whole new programming concept altogether. This incredibly popular server-side scripting language is based on the .NET Framework, and it com- bines unrivalled developer productivity with performance and reliability. Dream weaver MX 2004 is the newest version of the popular integrated web site design tool. It enables quick and efficient web site design and programming and comes with built -in support for ASP. NET and Xl\11 web services. Whether you are an experienced ASP.NET developer and Dreamweaver user or a beginner, this book guides you through the web-development process at the right level. It shows you how to rapidly develop ASP.NET web applications with a minimum of effort. You learn about the .NET Framework, how ASP.NET fits in and interacts with other components, and how to master the ASP.NET controls via Dreamweaver MX 2004. In summary, this book covers: * The .NET Framework * Using and extending the Dreamweaver MX 2004 interface * ASP.NET programming in VB .NET * Using and expanding ASP.NET controls * Interacting with databases * Using server behaviors in Dreamweaver MX 2004 * Creating data-driven ASP.NET applications * Incorporating Xl\11 web services * Coding with best practice principles Let's get started with an introduction to the new Dreamweaver MX 2004.

THis INTRODUCTION lays out who the book is written for, provides an overview of what is covered, and gives some background details on a package management utility you'll use to install many of the add-ons covered in the book. Who This Book Is For Although PHP has a lot of built-in functionality, many common Web program- ming tasks are simpler with add-on modules and packages. This book is for you if you are looking for an easier way to do these kinds of tasks with PHP: * Access a database. * Generate robust Web forms. * Use a page templating system. * Create or parse XML documents. * Request or serve XML-RPC or SOAP methods. * Send HTML or multipart e-mail messages. * Authenticate users. * Inspect your scripts with a debugger. * Boost server performance without rewriting any code. This book assumes you have a basic knowledge of PHP programming: You know how to perform tasks such as include files, write functions, create objects, and look in $_REQUEST, $_GET, or $_POST to find submitted form data.

Beginning ASP.NET in VB .NET guides you through Microsoft's technology for building dynamic websites. This book will enable you to build dynamic web pages on the fly, and it assumes only the most basic knowledge of Visual Basic .NET. The book provides exhaustive coverage of ASP.NET, guiding you from your first steps right up to the most advanced techniques, such as querying databases from within a web page and performance tuning your site. Within these pages, you'll find tips for “best practices” and comprehensive discussions of key database and XML principles you'll need to know in order to be effective with ASP.NET. The book also emphasizes the invaluable coding techniques of object orientation and code behind, which will start you off on the track to build real-world websites right from the beginning—rather than just faking it with simplified coding practices. By the time you've finished the book, you will have mastered the core techniques and have all the knowledge you need to begin work as a professional ASP.NET developer.

WELCOME ro Beginning ANSI C++: The Complete Language, Third Edition. This is a tuto- rial guide to Standard C++. During the course of the book you'll cover all the funda- mentals of syntax, grammar, object-oriented capability, and the principal features of the standard library. You'll soon gain enough programming know-how to write your own C++ applications. Why C++? C++ is arguably the most widely used programming language in existence. It's used in professional application development because of its immense flexibility, power, and efficiency. For high-performance code across a vast range of programming contexts, C++ is unrivalled. It's also much more accessible than many people assume. With the right guidance, getting a grip on C++ is easier than you might imagine. By developing your C++ skills, you'll learn a language already used by millions, and you'll acquire a new tool in your programming toolbox that is likely to be more powerful than any of the others. The Standard for C++ In 1998, the International Standard for C++, ISO/IEC 14882, was finally approved and adopted by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the International Committee for Information Technology Standards (INCITS). This was the culmination of nine years of work by a joint ANSI/ISO committee whose objective was to establish a single definition of the C++ programming language that would be accepted worldwide.

Although the harrowing number of Internet-based attacks in recent years has elevated the importance of maintaining secure electronic networks, many developers continue to employ passive security administration strategies, addressing issues by using patches in a non-systematic fashion. This counterproductive strategy can be largely attributed to a lack of knowledge regarding the general concepts required to effectively prevent the attack and potential compromise of networked systems. Developing Trust: Online Privacy and Security is an indispensable resource for system administrators and application developers, providing a means to understand, create, and maintain secure Internet systems. Matt Curtin's instructional approach facilitates a comprehensive understanding of online security by separating the core material into three sections: Understanding Security and Privacy introduces attack models, general privacy theory and policy, online privacy concepts, and provides a synopsis of the mechanics of threats to privacy. Prevention delves into secure design principles and deployment environments, closing with several case studies of major security problems uncovered by the author himself. The Cure investigates the mechanics of identifying and repairing flawed security design techniques before they are incorporated into the final product. Discussion regarding the failure of "opt-out" systems to protect privacy is also included in this section.

PivotTables are powerful data analysis tools, yet most Excel users dont use them to their fullest potential. A Complete Guide to PivotTables: A Visual Approach shows you why PivotTables are so versatile for data analysis and how you can leverage PivotTables to rapidly spot trends and make fast business decisions on mountains of data. A series of step-by-step tutorials and plenty of sample business data will help you get productive with PivotTables quickly and easily. Whereas most books only devote a small section to PivotTables, this book covers everything about this important Excel feature. With his tremendous experience writing about Office and Excel for power users, Paul Cornell will teach you plenty about PivotTables.
