A set of wizards in PowerBuilder .NET enable you to quickly create a variety of targets for different types of applications. For example, one wizard creates a newWindows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application or, if you prefer, converts an existing PowerBuilder Classic client/server or .NET Windows Forms target. Other wizards allow you to create .NET Assembly and WCF Service targets from nonvisual user objects. The PB Assembly wizard creates assembly components that you can include in other projects within PowerBuilder .NET. After the wizard generates a target you can modify its properties at any time.

What This Book Covers As much as we would like to have included everything that any database administrator might need for any given circumstance, there just isn’t enough time or paper to cover it all. We have made every attempt to cover the main areas of SQL Server 2008 Administration. Inside this book, you will find detailed information about how to maintain and manage your SQL Server 2008 installation. Most of the day-to-day tasks of the DBA are described within the pages of this book. Installation, configuration, backups, restores, security, availability, performance monitoring, and the tools to manage these areas are all covered. Our intent, our goal, and our sincere desire are to provide you with the information necessary to be a competent and successful database administrator. With this edition, we were also able to add additional material that was not covered in the first edition. This includes new chapters on SQL Server Analysis Services and SQL Server Reporting Services, the two key offerings in the Microsoft SQL Server BI stack. There is also a new chapter on optimizing SQL Server 2008 that beginners and experienced DBAs alike will find useful. How This Book Is Structured When putting this book together, wemade a conscious effort to cover thematerial in a logical and sequential order: ❑ The first four chapters (Chapters 1–4) cover the overall structure of SQL Server 2008, as well as the installation process. ❑ Once that foundation is laid, we moved on to the administration process of building and securing databases in the next two chapters (Chapters 5 and 6). ❑ This is followed by seven chapters (Chapters 7–13) on specific administrative tasks and high-availability solutions. ❑ The last six chapters (Chapters 14–19) are dedicated to introducing you to the SQL Server 2008 services, and features including the Common Language Runtime (CLR), SQL Server’s Business Intelligence offerings, and the Service Broker. As mentioned, we tried to follow a logical order in the structure of this book, but like most technical books, it is not absolutely essential to read it in any particular order. However, if you are fairly new to SQL Server, you may want to read through Chapter 1 first to get an overall picture of the product before diving in to the remaining chapters.

Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is a graphical computer platform built and distributed by Microsoft to create rich client applications for Windows systems. With WPF, you can build rich interfaces with animations and amazing graphical effects as easily as you can build minimalist and corporate user interfaces for line-of-business (LOB) applications. Unfortunately, because WPF is such a powerful and complex technology, it requires some initial effort to understand its mechanisms. Moreover, for a newbie, the XAML markup used to create the user interfaces can be tough to come to grips with. Creating a WPF application and, more generally, creating any type of application with a user interface is a rather convoluted task; it comprises a number of phases and the final result is likely to be of a certain complexity. A standalone application built using WPF is usually made up of various “components” that are used to encapsulate the “modules” of the software. You might have, for instance, a component to access the data, a component to include a logical function, a component to render the user interface, and so on. In this book, I will show you how to create and implement WPF, using best practices to create a realworld application. At the same time, I’ll also show you how to structure and architect a WPF application made up of different components that you’ll be able to recycle for future applications. By the end of the book, you should have a working knowledge of WPF and know how to architect a WPF application using the tools provided by Microsoft, such as SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition, the Entity Framework, Window Communication Foundation (WCF), and more.

This seventh edition of the JavaScript Bible represents knowledge and experience accumulated over fifteen years of daily work in JavaScript and a constant monitoring of newsgroups for questions, problems, and challenges facing scripters at all levels. Our goal is to help you avoid the same frustration and head-scratching we and others have experienced through multiple generations of scriptable browsers. While the earliest editions of this book focused on the then-predominant Netscape Navigator browser, the browser market share landscape has changed through the years. For many years, Microsoft took a strong lead with its Internet Explorer, but more recently, other browsers that support industry standards are finding homes on users’ computers. The situation still leaves an age-old dilemma for content developers: designing scripted content that functions equally well in both standards-compliant and proprietary environments. The job of a book claiming to be the ‘‘bible’’ is not only to present both the standard and proprietary details when they diverge, but also to show you how to write scripts that blend the two so that they work on the wide array of browsers visiting your sites or web applications. Empowering you to design and write good scripts is our passion, regardless of browser. It’s true that our bias is toward industry standards, but not to the exclusion of proprietary features that may be necessary to get your content and scripting ideas flowing equally well on today’s and tomorrow’s browsers.

HTML5 is brand new. Indeed, it isn’t even completely finished yet. And if you listen to some ornery pundits, they’ll tell you that HTML5 won’t be ready for ten years or more! Why, then, would anyone think that now’s the time for a book called Pro HTML5 Programming? That’s easy. Because for anyone who’s looking for an extra edge to make your web application stand above the rest, the time for HTML5 is right now. The authors of this book have been working with, developing, and teaching HTML5 technologies for more than two years now and can claim with certainty that adoption of the new standards is accelerating at dizzying speeds. Even over the course of writing this book, we’ve been forced to continually update chapters and reevaluate our assumptions about what is ready to use. Most users don’t really understand the power that’s available in the browsers they are now using. Yes, they might notice some minor interface enhancement after their favorite browser has automatically updated. But they might have no idea that this new browser version just introduced a free-form drawing canvas or real-time network communication, or any number of other potential upgrades. With this book, we aim to help you unlock the power HTML5.

This is not a book simply about Silverlight as a technology, and it isn’t about covering Silverlight from end to end. Silverlight features such as streaming video, Deep Zoom, 3D graphics, animations, sounds, and others that are not generally core requirements in business applications will not be covered. This book specifically targets the needs of those designing and developing business applications using Silverlight as a development platform. That said, you may be well versed in the process of business application design and merely be interested in how to apply your knowledge to developing business applications in Silverlight—this book caters to you too. You may even pick up a few new design tidbits as you go! You may have noticed that many books, web articles, and presentations take a rather simplistic view when discussing building business applications in Silverlight, and these techniques rarely hold up to scrutiny in real-world projects. Instead of just giving you all the pieces and leaving you to fit them together yourself, this book is designed to act as your guide when creating your own business application, leading you through the difficult problems you will encounter and providing one or more solutions for each problem. Business applications involve more than simply retrieving some data and displaying it on the screen—this book will allow you to peer into all the nooks and crevices that represent good business and application design practices. This book is designed to be read from start to end rather than simply being a reference guide. It will lead you through the process of creating an end-to-end Silverlight business application. Note that some of the Silverlight-specific lessons in early chapters are not designed to be put into immediate use, as they won’t necessarily reflect all the recommended development practices in real-world projects, but are provided merely as a means of easing you into the world of Silverlight development. Note For example, the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) design pattern commonly used in Silverlight and WPF business application development is not covered until the second half of this book. You will generally want to use this pattern in your applications, but the early chapters forgo this pattern in their examples, as implementing it requires a wide array of Silverlight knowledge that you will not have gained as yet. Despite its later position in this book, incorporating this design pattern into your project should not be an afterthought. Therefore, this book should not be considered a step-by-step guide, but an all-encompassing guide to all the concepts important to building business applications in Silverlight. After completing this book, you will have gained the knowledge that you need for designing robust business applications and how to implement these techniques with a Silverlight-based project. While it would be impossible to cover each and every concept that could be employed when designing and developing business applications, this book will cover those that are the most important for developing a well-structured business application. Unfortunately, exploring the complete myriad of scenarios that you may encounter in your application requirements simply isn’t possible, nor is it possible to cover every possible solution to a problem. For example, due to the wide array of means for a Silverlight application to communicate with a server, covering them all and doing them justice would be impossible. For this reason, I chose to cover one technology in depth. For most end-to-end business applications in Silverlight (which is the primary focus of this book), RIA Services is your best option for handling communication between the Silverlight client and the server; therefore, this book will primarily focus on using that technology as the framework for this task. Note If you decide RIA Services is not suitable for your needs, don’t despair—the functionality covered in this book is not solely dependent on RIA Services, and there will still be large amounts of information useful to your project. We will take a brief look at creating and consuming plain WCF too. You won’t need to use every concept taught in this book in your own applications, because at times, some concepts may be excessive (depending on the size and type of project you are working on) or inappropriate. These concepts will be noted with the scenarios that they are most suitable for to help you make an informed choice.

This book has existed, in one form or another, since the first release of C# and the .NET Platform was published in step with Microsoft’s release of .NET 1.0 Beta 2 (circa the summer of 2001). Since that point, I have been extremely happy to see that this text continues to be very well received by the press. Over the years, it was nominated as a 2002 Jolt Award finalist (I lost, but hey, life goes on); it was also awarded the 2003 Referenceware Excellence Award for programming book of the year. More importantly, I have been very grateful to receive e-mails from readers all around the world. It is very cool to chat with so many people who have told me this book has helped their careers in some small way. On a related note, I have to say that this book is better than it has ever been, thanks to the readers who have send me various suggestions for improvements, pointed out typos in the text, and alerted me to other glitches on my part. I have also been taken aback to learn that this very book has been, and is being used, in college and university settings, and is required reading for numerous undergraduate and graduate courses in the field of computer science. To the press, readers, and professors, I have nothing to say but thank you and happy programming! In any case, since the initial release of this book, I have worked hard to keep the material current with each release of the .NET platform. The fifth edition of this text, which you hold in your hands, has been fully updated to provide coverage on the new features of the C# 2010 programming language, as well as the new features of .NET 4.0 Platform. Here you will find information on the new Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR), the Task Parallel Library (TPL), Parallel LINQ (PLINQ), the ADO.NET Entity Framework (EF), and several “minor” (but very useful) updates, such as C# 2010 named arguments, C# 2010 optional parameters, the Lazy<T> class type, and so on. In addition to covering all the new bits, this book continues to provide you with a rock-solid foundation of the C# language as a whole, the pillars of object oriented programming (OOP), assembly configuration, database access (through ADO.NET), as well as the process of building desktop GUI applications, web applications, and distributed systems (among other topics). As with the earlier editions, this edition presents the C# programming language and .NET base class libraries using a friendly and approachable tone (or so I have been told!). As well, this new edition remains focused on providing you with the information you need to build software solutions today, rather than spending too much time examining esoteric details that few individuals will ever actually care about.
