This is the first book designed to help Windows developers decide not only which technologies to use but also how to use them. It teaches them to combine the wide variety of technologies that make up Windows DNA into effective solutions for their own enterprise application requirements. The author makes use of his long consulting experience in the client-server world to describe "best practices" that apply to building Windows DNA applications.

These provide complete solutions for form validation, drag and drop functionality, data sorting, data presentation techniques, application architecture, debugging, performance enhancements, server-side techniques for web services, and much more.

The author, an acknowledged expert on the subject of .NET coding style and techniques, explains that good code results from using patterns, but that not all good pieces of code are patterns.

I he title of this book may seem odd; you probably already know how to write code in .NET. But you can always benefit from knowing more. Coders, architects, and developers always strive to do their best, and if given the choice to do something correctly or incorrectly they will do it correctly. So why do we have so many bugs in our code? I could say, "e;Heck, it's all the managers making bonehead decisions."e; It would be a popular answer, but it would not be fair. We have bugs because humans and the communication between humans are imperfect. The other major reason why code has bugs is that people do not have the time or energy to pour resources into specific problems. When you are working on an application, you are confronted with thousands of specific problems, and you have to assign a priority. This is where this book is aimed. I take the time to investigate the specific problems and figure out how to solve them. Your responsibility is to read the solutions and implement them as appropriate.

This book is for anyone who wants to write good C# code-even if you have never programmed before. Writing good code can be a challenge-there are so many options, especially in a .NET language like C#. If you want to really get the best from a programming language, you need to know which features work best in which situations, and understand their strengths and weaknesses. It is this understanding that makes the difference between coding and coding well.Beginning C# 2008: From Novice to Professional, Second Edition has been written to teach you how to use the C# programming language to solve problems. From the earliest chapters and the first introductory concepts, you'll be looking at real-world programming challenges and learning how C# can be used to overcome them. As you progress through the book, the problems become more involved and interesting, while the solutions become correspondingly more complex and powerful as C# features interact to achieve the results that you want.This second edition has been revised and improved to now include the SQL Server 2008 release and explain how you can integrate SQL Server 2008 with your C# applications. By the time you've finished reading this book and worked through the sample exercises, you'll be a confident and very competent C# programmer. You will still have many explorations of the .NET Framework API to look forward to, but you will have a firm foundation to build from, and you will know exactly where to go to find the things that you need to progress confidently in your projects.

Foundations of Object-Oriented Programming Using .NET 2.0 Patterns solves the object-oriented and pattern-programming problem by mixing the two—the book teaches object-oriented concepts using patterns, or a solutions-based approach. The book's material is organized around tasks and patterns, and illustrated through development problems and solutions that include persistence, code efficiency, and good design.This book is of special interest to those who want to learn how to use .NET 2.0 Generics in conjunction with patterns. This unique book is based on the author's lectures, and the information unfolds in a practical manner.
