Bøker av Jesse Liberty

Most Visual Basic .NET books are written for experienced object-oriented programmers, but many programmers jumping on the .NET bandwagon are coming from non-object-oriented languages, such as Visual Basic 6.0 or from script programming, such as JavaScript. These programmers, and those who are adopting VB.NET as their first programming language, have been out of luck when it comes to finding a high-quality introduction to the language that helps them get started.That's why Jesse Liberty, author of the best-selling books Programming C# and Programming ASP.NET, has written an entry-level guide to Visual Basic .NET. Written in a warm and friendly manner, this book assumes no prior programming experience, and provides an easy introduction to Microsoft's most popular .NET language.Learning Visual Basic .NET is a complete introduction to VB.NET and object-oriented programming. This book will help you build a solid foundation in .NET, and show how to apply your skills by using hundreds of examples to help you become productive quickly. Learning Visual Basic .NET introduces fundamentals like Visual Studio .NET, a tool set for building Windows and Web applications. You'll learn about the syntax and structure of the Visual Basic .NET language, including operators, classes and interfaces, structs, arrays, and strings. Liberty then demonstrates how to develop various kinds of applications--including those that work with databases--and web services.By the time you've finished Learning Visual Basic .NET, you'll be ready to move on to a more advanced programming guide that will help you create large-scale web and Windows applications.Whether you have a little object-oriented programming experience or you are new to programming altogether, Visual Basic .NET will set you firmly on your way to mastering the essentials of the VB.NET language.

A practical guide to mastering C# and .NET MAUI to build native cross-platform apps with a single codebasePurchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBookKey Features:Extend your skills to build cross-platform native apps for iOS, Android, Windows, and MacLearn by working on a real-world projectGo beyond MAUI and integrate with the .NET ecosystemBook Description:While UI plays a pivotal role in retaining users in a highly competitive landscape, maintaining the same UI can be tricky if you use different languages for different platforms, leading to mismatches and un-synced pages. In this book, you'll see how .NET MAUI allows you to create a real-world application that will run natively on different platforms. By building on your C# experience, you'll further learn to create beautiful and engaging UI using XAML or fluent C#, architect a solid app, and discover best practices for this Microsoft platform.The book starts with the fundamentals and quickly moves to intermediate and advanced topics on laying out your pages, navigating between them, and adding controls to gather and display data. You'll explore the key architectural pattern of Model-View-ViewModel: and ways to leverage it. You'll also get to grips with using xUnit and NSubstitute to create robust and reliable code coverage.By the end of this book, you'll be well-equipped to leverage .NET MAUI and create an API for your app to interact with a web frontend to the backend data using Blazor and C#.What You Will Learn:Explore the fundamentals of creating .NET MAUI apps with Visual StudioUnderstand XAML and fluent C# as the key tools for building your user interfaceObtain and Display data using layout and controlsDiscover the MVVM pattern to create robust appsAcquire the skills for storing and retrieving persistent dataBuild custom controls when the supplied controls fall shortUse unit testing to ensure your app is solid and reliableIntegrate into the .NET ecosystem to build a web-based frontendWho this book is for:Learning .NET MAUI is targeted squarely at C# programmers, whether or not they have experience with cross-platform or mobile applications, who wish to learn Microsoft's premier platform for building iOS, Android, Windows and Mac apps using a single C#-based solution.

Git for Programmers explores the advanced concepts of Git and trains you to leverage its functionalities in the best way.

This book offers everything you''ll need to upgrade your existing programming knowledge and begin to develop applications for the Windows Phone. It focuses on the 75 percent of the material that you will need 95 percent of the time. We''re not going to teach you object-oriented programming (OOP) all over again, but we are going to take the time to point out how .NET and C# differ in their execution of the standard OOP concepts from other languages'' implementations in order to make your migration as smooth and stress-free as possible.Migrating to Windows Phone will lead you through a tour of the key features of developing for Microsoft''s devices. We''ll consider everything from data handling to accelerometers, from mapping to WCF. We''ll also walk you through monetizing your application through Microsoft''s online Windows Phone store.

Offers an introduction to Microsoft's premier .NET language. This introductory guide focuses on how to develop various kinds of web services and applications - including those that work with databases. It includes more than 200 questions and programming exercises that make mastering the essentials of the C# language easy and fun.

Pro Reactive Extensions and LINQ is a deep dive into the next important technology for .NET developers: Reactive Extensions. This in-depth tutorial goes beyond what is available anywhere else to teach how to write WPF, Silverlight, and Windows Phone applications using the Reactive Extensions (Rx) to handle events and asynchronous method calls. Reactive programming allows you to turn those aspects of your code that are currently imperative into something much more event-driven and flexible. For this reason, it's sometimes referred to as LINQ for Events. Reactive programming hinges on the concept of the observable collection, as opposed to the simple enumerable collection with which we're all familiar. For example, to extract data from a collection and add it to a list box, you would traditionally iterate through the list box, extracting each object in turn. This approach works fine, but it requires significant knowledge about the data you're working with, which can be limiting. In Rx programming, you're instead informed about each object in turn and then free to react to each notification however you like, which affords much greater flexibility.This book shows you how reactive programming can be applied to a range of situations-from WPF applications to Windows Phone apps-to improve coding efficiency and boost performance.

If you're new to C#, this popular book is the ideal way to get started. Completely revised for the latest version of the language, Learning C# 3.0 starts with the fundamentals and takes you through intermediate and advanced C# features -- including generics, interfaces, delegates, lambda expressions, and LINQ. You'll also learn how to build Windows applications and handle data with C#. No previous programming experience is required -- in fact, if you've never written a line of code in your life, bestselling authors Jesse Liberty and Brian MacDonald will show you how it's done. Each chapter offers a self-contained lesson to help you master key concepts, with plenty of annotated examples, illustrations, and a concise summary. With this book, you will:Learn how to program as you learn C#Grasp the principles of object-oriented programming through C#Discover how to use the latest features in C# 3.0 and the .NET 3.5 Framework--including LINQ and the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)Create Windows applications and data-driven applicationsYou'll also find a unique Test Your Knowledge section in each chapter, with practical exercises and review quizzes, so you can practice new skills and test your understanding.
