When Microsoft introduced the Visual Basic .NET programming language, as part of its move to the .NET Framework two years ago, many developers willingly made the switch. Millions of others, however, continued to stick with Visual Basic 6. They weren't ready for such a radical change, which included an object-oriented environment similar to Java. They liked the old Visual Basic just fine.

* Visual Basic, one of the most popular programming languages today with more than 6 million developers, has released the 2005 version, which continues to expand on the functionality and flexibility of its framework-.NET 3.0
* Covering Visual Basic .NET 2005 programming in a Windows environment as well as accessing SQL Server Express 2005 and Web Services, this book allows intermediate-level programmers to get up to speed quickly with complete sample projects that can be modified and used in the real world
* In addition to the ready-to-use projects for their own applications with little or no modifications, programmers will also learn some of the more advanced features of Windows programming
* Some of the featured projects include desktop weather, password keeper, application registry manager, event log and trace writing, event log service, multi-threaded note pad, note pad printing, and custom controls textbox

There's little doubt that wireless has been the hot topic of the last year. With the release of .NET, Microsoft has made it easy for developers to create wireless applications that will run on any device, whether it is a Palm, PocketPC, or cellphone. In .NET Wireless Programming, Mark Ridgeway teaches you how to create wireless applications using the Mobile Internet Toolkit. The book's emphasis is on Visual Basic .NET but the flexibility of .NET allows developers to choose the language they prefer. The book's five case studies--including a mobile intranet, a contacts database, and an online game--offer many code examples to challenge your skills.
From the Back Cover
Microsoft's .NET strategy embraces a vision for integrating diverse elements of computing technology and data services. The wireless Internet and mobile devices are core components of that strategy. Visual Studio .NET includes a powerful set of tools--the Mobile Internet Toolkit--for developing websites and applications that can be accessed from all kinds of mobile devices .NET Wireless Programming provides the technical details you need to master to develop end-to-end wireless solutions based on .NET technology.

You'll learn to take advantage of the Mobile Internet Toolkit's automated deployment capabilities, which enable a single site or application to work with nearly any mobile device. Freed from the task of writing code to accommodate various devices, you'll be able to apply other skills to build a more powerful application: Work with styles and templates. Create custom controls. Read from and write to databases. And use Microsoft's Web Services in support of a distributed architecture.

Five case studies, including a mobile intranet, a contacts database, and an online game, illustrate solutions to real problems and techniques for maximizing application flexibility. A set of appendices provide detailed information on the WML language and the Toolkit's classes. This book presents its many code examples in Visual Basic .NET, but the greater emphasis is on Visual Studio .NET and the flexibility it gives developers in choosing the language they want to use.

You'll be exposed to the very latest VB tools and techniques with coverage of both the Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4 releases. Plus, the book walks you step-by-step through tasks, as you gradually master this exciting new release of Microsoft's popular and important programming language.

Фрэнк живет в шотландской глухомани вместе с отцом. Его жизнь спокойна и размерена: он охотится на кроликов, пьет пиво и занимается хозяйством, его старший брат сошел с ума и содержится в сумасшедшем доме, куда его привели события невообразимые для обычного человека. А Фрэнк совершенно нормальный, ну если не считать того, что к своим шестнадцати годам он уже убил троих, вокруг его острова установлены Жертвенные Столбы и на чердаке его дома в ожидании новых жертв существует Осиная Фабрика...
