books about: pro-developer     books:       Programming Microsoft Visual Basic .NET Version 2003 (Pro Developer)28 reviews Francesco Balena Microsoft Press, 2004 Wonderful learning tool and reference This was the first .NET book I purchased, and in many ways if I hadn't bought any others it would have been sufficient. It has thorough coverage of the .NET environment, with lucid code examples in VB.NET. I found the chapters on ADO.NET and the framework internals to be most useful to my job as an ASP.NET developer, but the coverage is deep enough that a person with very little programming ...             Windows via C/C++ (Pro - Developer)7 reviews Jeffrey M. Richter; Christophe Nasarre Microsoft Press, 2007 Learn Windows from scratch... This is a comprehensive source for learning the inner working of the Windows.

It is the clearest available introduction to VBA coding. It provides explanations with a huge collection of Access VBA code. And it is a thorough presentation of what is new and powerful in Access 2002, especially concerning integration with SQL Server. This book is just the thing for anyone who wants to become a serious Access ...             Developing More-Secure Microsoft® ASP.NET 2.0 Applications (Pro Developer)3 reviews Dominick Baier Microsoft Press, 2006 Complete Guide to ASP.NET 2.0 Security This is a book by a MS Developer Security MVP for any and all developers writing ASP.NET 2.0 applications. Not only does it cover all the usual suspects and provides practical prescriptive guidance on how to deal with them with examples; it also deals with the tough "hot topics" like partial trust. The book is both complete in breadth and depth and really does provide a single good reference book ...             Programming Microsoft Visual C# 2005: The Base Class Library (Pro-Developer)11 reviews Francesco Balena Microsoft Press, 2006 Great Intermediate Level C# Material If you have C# skills of no less then an advanced beginner, and want to find yourself securely in the intermediate range, then you have found the right book. Read it once and you will find your skill set drastically improved. Read it twice and study it thoroughly, and you will find yourself getting turned to for help from your more senior developers. Quite the ego booster. It's well written, ...             FileMaker Pro 6 Developer's Guide to XML/XSL (Wordware Library for Filemaker)8 reviews Beverly Voth Wordware Publishing, Inc., 2003 The Last Word The release of Beverly Voth's Guide is well worth our wait. While exhaustive, the writing is clear and not exhausting. She has given us the definitive textbook on this thorny, difficult subject, starting at the outside and working in. While breaking apart the various layers into edible morsels, Ms. Voth does not sugar-coat the complexities of her subject; she simply makes them disappear.             Microsoft .NET and J2EE Interoperability Toolkit (Pro-Developer)6 reviews Simon Guest Microsoft Press, 2003 Cutting through the FUD Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt is what J2 enthusiasts cling to when discussing .NET technologies. Simon cuts through these biases with concise, helpful guidance of how to interoperate. IBM and Microsoft both have committed to interoperability and Mr. Guest's book shows how that has real-world applicability. This book shows how an IT organization does not have to commit to J2 or .NET, but BOTH can ...             C# for Java Developers (Pro-Developer)22 reviews Allen Jones, Adam Freeman Microsoft Press, 2002 Amazing, Just what I was looking for! This was truely an amazing book, I've read many .NET books, all of which assume zero knowledge of programming, or very little. So when I skipped the first few chapters, or skipped them (Since I've been a Java Developer for several years), I missed valuable differences between Java and .NET. Be sure you do know your stuff in Java, or else this book will seem over your head. This is not a beginners ...             Inside the Index and Search Engines: Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (PRO-Developer)2 reviews Patrick Tisseghem, Lars Fastrup Microsoft Press, 2008 Fantastic authoritative reference on MOSS search! There's a good bit of information out there about SharePoint search. Patrick & Lars did a fantastic job pulling all this together in this book. You see the OOTB config options, a solid discussion on the other search options with the MSFT Search Server editions. I really like the API stuff though... working with the full text and keyword searches in the API as well as a detailed discussion on the ...             Designing Solutions with COM+ Technologies (Pro - Developer)6 reviews Ray Brown, Wade Baron, ... Microsoft Press, 2001 Best ever COM book This book, is without a dought, the best COM book ever done. In my seven years as a working COM engineer and some say expert, I have read and bought every single book on COM. And when you come right down to it, even Don Box's book, they are all the same: explaining IUnknown over and over again, rehashes of available documentation and books with esoteric and useless ICat and IDog interfaces. None ...             Writing Secure for Windows Vista (Pro - Step By Step Developer)2 reviews Michael Howard, David LeBlanc Microsoft Press, 2007 A must read if you develop for Windows Vista Initially I didn't liked Windows Vista. A resource hog, some incompatibilities... But I had to use it at work so I installed it and worked with it for two months. After that, I really like the security features it has, but I felt like missing more details about specific topics... So I decided to buy this book. Writing Secure Code for Windows Vista comes as a, mostly C++ oriented (although ...             Pro Visual C++ 2005 for C# Developers (Pro)2 reviews Dean C. Wills Apress, 2006 Highly recommended Swimming upstream is never easy. Learning C++ if your primary language is (and has always been) C# is exactly like swimming upstream: C# is, in a sense, a much simplified version of C++. So, you're going to have to learn how to do easy things a harder way. One (traditional) way of learning C++ is to grab a good book and kinda learn a new language. But it might take a while to figure out how ...             Producing Flash CS3 Video: A Guide for Interactive Developers and Video Pros2 reviews John Skidgel Focal Press, 2007 The BEST Flash book I've ever read!!

A must have resource for any developer!!             Microsoft ADO.NET (Core Reference) (PRO-Developer)51 reviews David Sceppa Microsoft Press, 2002 Easy Reading After reading many tutorials and books on ADO.NET, I must say that this was the best one so far. Not only does it explain everything there is to know about ADO.NET, it does so in an entertaining and well presented manner. The code samples are in both VB.NET and C#, and above all, they are complete, or at least complete enough to understand without having to refer to the code samples on the CD. ...             The Pros Talk Microsoft Visual Foxpro 3: Strategic Issues for Developers (Pinnacle Publishing Special Reports)2 reviews Microsoft Pr, 1996 Great Book! You'll get more treasure with each reading! This is a book you will not want your employer to buy for you, because you'll want to own this book! Of the 896 pages in this book, there is almost no fluff ! In fact, this book is so good that I readily agree with one of the authors when he says, "it's a really good idea for you to read this report" (book), "more than once." Given the opportunity, I plan to re-read this book at least once. ...             Microsoft Visual J#(TM) .NET (Core Reference) (Pro-Developer)2 reviews John/Longshaw, Andy Sharp Microsoft Press, 2002 J Sharp, Future of Java Developers This book is an excellent example of how an IT book should look like. Explaining the depths of .Net Framework, as well as using J# and Asp.net. It's a shame that a great deal of people do not pay attention to the importance of J#. J# is the best way for Hardcore Java programmers to combine their knowledge of Java with the superiority of .Net Foundation classes in order to produce Windows ...             Web Services Architecture and Its Specifications: Essentials for Understanding WS-- (Pro-Developer)1 review Luis Felipe Cabrera, Chris Kurt Microsoft Press, 2005 The Official Standards The web is a marvelous way to exchange information. But it is very visually oriented. You browse to a site and read what you find. Alternatively you can download a filek, but this file is dependent on what the originator thinks you need. XML is of course the answer. XML allows the sender and receiver of information to use the existing packet switching web communication channels and the ...             The Applied Microsoft .NET Framework Programming in C# Collection (Pro-Developer)88 reviews Jeffrey Richter Microsoft Press, 2003 The Definitive Book for Deep .NET Knowledge This is not the kind of book where you will immediately be copying code and being instructed to follow basic instructions to achieve a task. Rather this is a deeply rich book on the internals of the .NET architecture. I consider it required reading for anyone serious about moving towards .NET Mastery. Is it completely comprehensive? No. There are areas missing. Are these areas covered extensively ...             XML Web Services in the Organization (Pro-Developer)1 review Chris Boar Microsoft Press, 2003 Concise, yet comprehensive While most books on this subject target Web services in internet based commercial applications, this book targets the most quickly growing developer audience for XML Web services - the corporate solution developer. Don't be fooled however, by its slim 190 pages. There is ample content in those pages, including a comprehensive section on securing Web services. One feature of the book that is ...             The Book of FileMaker 6: Your One-Stop Guide to FileMaker Pro, Pro Unlimited, Developer, Server, and Mobile42 reviews Chris Kubica No Starch Press, 2003 Great Reference! Databases have always been difficult for me, even after 20 years in network design. FileMaker seemed to be the answer - power, clean design - everything a non-database person would love. But there is a learning curve, even with a great program like FileMaker. Needing additional assistance, I turned to Chris' "The Book of FileMaker 6" because it was a) thick, meaning lots of information, and ...              search for books applications, architecture, collection, designing, developer, developers, developing, essentials, filemaker, framework, interactive, interoperability, microsoft, more-secure, one-stop, organization, pro-developer, producing, programming, publishing, reference, services, sharepoint, solutions, specifications, strategic, technologies, understanding, unlimited, wordware books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
