It blends the simplicity, elegance, and dynamism of Python with the
power of the .NET framework.
IronPython in Action offers a comprehensive, hands-on
introduction to Microsoft's exciting new approach for programming
the .NET framework. It approaches IronPython as a first class .NET
language, fully integrated with the .NET...

New Web applications require engaging user-friendly
interfaces-and the cooler, the better. With Flex 3, Web developers
at any skill level can create high-quality, effective, and
interactive Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) quickly and easily.
Flex removes the complexity barrier from RIA development by
offering sophisticated tools and a straightforward programming
language so you can focus on what you want to do instead of how to
do it. And now that the major components of Flex are free and open
source, the cost barrier is gone, as well!
Flex 3 in Action is an easy-to-follow, hands-on...

from Manning Publications at no additional charge***
Microsoft describes Silverlight as a "cross-browser,
cross-platform plug-in for delivering the next generation of .NET
based media experiences and rich interactive applications for the
Web." That's a really boring description for a really exciting new
technology. Anyone who has looked at the demos and gotten a taste
of what Silverlight can do knows that Silverlight represents an
entirely new level of rich web interface technology for Microsoft
developers.
With Silverlight 2,...

127. |  By: Rob Allen; Nick Lo; Steven Brown Publisher: Manning Publications Publication Date: 04-JAN-2009 Insert Date: 21-FEB-2009 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Zend Framework in Action
From rather humble beginnings as the Personal Home Page
scripting language, PHP has found its way into almost every server,
corporation, and dev shop in the world. On an average day,
somewhere between 500,000 and 2 million coders do something in PHP.
Even when you use a well-understood language like PHP, building a
modern web application requires tools that decrease development
time and cost while improving code quality. Frameworks such as
Ruby-on-Rails and Django have been getting a lot of attention as a
result.
For PHP coders, the Zend Framework offers that same promise
without the need to...

Now more than ever, Windows applications have to work well and
look good. Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Microsoft's new
user interface framework, gives you the ability to create stunning
graphics, rich interactions, and highly-usable Windows
applications. WPF is the API beneath Windows Vista interfaces, and
it's also available for older versions of Windows. Up to this
point, it has only been possible to build WPF applications
manually, mainly by hand-coding in XAML-WPF's declarative XML-based
markup language. The soon-to-be-released Visual Studio 2008
provides the full set of...

129. |  Team Foundation Server 2008 in Action By: Jamil Azher Publisher: Manning Publications Publication Date: 04-JAN-2009 Insert Date: 20-FEB-2009 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Team Foundation Server 2008 in Action
In complex software projects, managing the development process
can be as critical to success as writing the code itself. A project
may involve dozens of developers, managers, architects, testers,
and customers, hundreds of builds, and thousands of opportunities
to get off-track. To keep tabs on the people, tasks, and components
of a medium- to large-scale project, most teams use a development
system that allows for easy monitoring, follow-up, and
accountability.
Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2008 (TFS), the server
component of Microsoft's Visual Studio Team System (VSTS), provides
a...

a thousand people talking at once? Identifying the wants, needs,
and knowledge of internet users can be like listening to a mob.
In the Web 2.0 era, leveraging the collective power of user
contributions, interactions, and feedback is the key to market
dominance. A new category of powerful programming techniques lets
you discover the patterns, inter-relationships, and individual
profiles-the collective intelligence--locked in the data people
leave behind as they surf websites, post blogs, and interact with
other...

Most modern business systems include independent applications
that exchange information with each other-a technique usually
called enterprise integration. An architectural approach called the
Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) offers developers a way to handle the
messages between those independent applications without creating a
lot of custom code. While commercial ESB solutions can be quite
expensive to implement and maintain, a set of high-quality open
source ESB tools offer the same functionality at a substantially
lower cost.
Open Source ESBs in Action shows you how to implement and
use two...

136. |  By: Martijn Dashorst; Eelco Hillenius Publisher: Manning Publications Publication Date: 09-SEP-2008 Insert Date: 10-OCT-2008 Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Wicket in Action
There are dozens of Java frameworks out there, but most of them
require you to learn special coding techniques and new, often
rigid, patterns of development. Wicket is different. As a
component-based Web application framework, Wicket lets you build
maintainable enterprise-grade web applications using the power of
plain old Java objects (POJOs), HTML, Ajax, Spring, Hibernate and
Maven. Wicket automatically manages state at the component level,
which means no more awkward HTTPSession objects. Its elegant
programming model enables you to write rich web applications
quickly.
Wicket in Action is...

C# in Depth is a completely new book designed to propel
existing C# developers to a higher level of programming skill. One
