PHP Solutions: Dynamic Web Design Made Easy

• Paperback: 488 pages
• Publisher: friends of ED (November 20, 2006)
• Language: English
• ISBN-10: 1590597311

You want to make your websites more dynamic by adding a feedback form, creating a private area where members can upload images that are automatically resized, or perhaps storing all your content in a database. The problem is, you’re not a programmer and the thought of writing code sends a chill up your spine. Or maybe you’ve dabbled a bit in PHP and MySQL, but you can’t get past baby steps. If this describes you, then you’ve just found the right book.

PHP and the MySQL database are deservedly the most popular combination for creating dynamic websites. They’re free, easy to use, and provided by many web hosting companies in their standard packages. Unfortunately, most PHP books either expect you to be an expert already or force you to go through endless exercises of little practical value. In contrast, this book gives you real value right away through a series of practical examples that you can incorporate directly into your sites, optimizing performance and adding functionality such as file uploading, email feedback forms, image galleries, content management systems, and much more. Each solution is created with not only functionality in mind, but also visual design.

But this book doesn’t just provide a collection of ready-made scripts: each PHP Solution builds on what’s gone before, teaching you the basics of PHP and database design quickly and painlessly. By the end of the book, you’ll have the confidence to start writing your own scripts or&8212;if you prefer to leave that task to others–to adapt existing scripts to your own requirements.

Right from the start, you’re shown how easy it is to protect your sites by adopting secure coding practices. The book has been written with an eye on forward and backward compatibility–recommending the latest PHP 5 techniques, but providing alternative solutions for servers still running PHP 4.3. All database examples demonstrate how to use the original MySQL extension, MySQL Improved, or the PHP Data Objects (PDO) introduced in PHP 5.1, letting you choose the most suitable option for your setup.

Distributed Applications - Integrating Xml Web Services And .Net Remoting

• Name: “Distributed Applications - Integrating Xml Web Services And .Net Remoting”


• Pages: 752 pages


• Type: CHM


• Size: 5 MB

Make the jump to distributed application programming using the .NET Framework—and introduce a new level of performance, scalability, and security to your network and enterprise applications. Expert .NET developer Matthew MacDonald shares proven techniques for fully exploiting .NET Remoting, XML Web services, and other .NET technologies and integrating them into your real-world solutions. MacDonald digs into key .NET building blocks and architectural issues, explaining which features and designs will best serve your customized distributed application projects—and when to use them. Case studies with full code examples illustrate these practical techniques in action, as well as demonstrating their benefits and tradeoffs.

It’s been roughly seven years since distributed application architecture first gained recognition in the business world. Back then, exciting new technologies such as COM/DCOM and CORBA/IIOP promised to revolutionize the way that large-scale, resource-intensive applications were built. Instead of trying to host a single monolithic application on a single computer, distributed architecture allowed software to be modeled as a group of objects communicating across different machines. Best of all, these machines no longer needed to be proprietary mainframes—instead, developers could use inexpensive servers running the MS Windows operating system. Increasing the overall throughput of the system was often as easy as just adding an extra computer to the mix.

All this has made distributed programming one of the most exciting and hotly pursued areas of software programming, but it hasn’t made up for some critical stumbling blocks. Quite simply, distributed applications are complicated. Programming a distributed application on the Windows platform requires a solid understanding of MS’s COM standard, its enterprise software and component services (such as SQL Server and COM+), and a healthy dose of painfully won experience. And no matter how skilled the programmer, a distributed programming project can quickly mushroom into a collection of versioning nightmares, interoperability headaches, and unexpected performance bottlenecks.

These problems are the key factors behind the creation of MS’s .NET platform. MS .NET provides an entirely new model for creating components, communicating across computers, and accessing data—one that is optimized for distributed applications on every level. This framework still requires a healthy investment of developer time and a fairly steep learning curve for novice programmers. After the basics are mastered, however, .NET makes it dramatically easier to create truly scalable software systems.

This book explores distributed programming with .NET. It details the key .NET technologies you need to master and explains the best practices for distributed application architecture with .NET. Best of all, it shows you how the separate .NET technologies can all fit together.

Designing Enterprise Applications with VB.NET

This book provides the detailed guidance you need to make the right choices as you design and build enterprise-level applications with Visual Basic .NET. The author—a former member of the MS Visual Studio® .NET team with extensive experience in designing, testing, and optimizing enterprise applications—discusses the technical and architectural trade-offs you’ll face as you develop large, multitier, multideveloper distributed applications.

He also shows how to create a workable enterprise infrastructure, and he reveals inside tips and techniques for implementation, performance tuning, and testing. You’ll find out how to take advantage of key state-of-the-art OOP features in Visual Basic .NET plus platform enhancements in MS .NET to develop serious enterprise applications quickly.Most of what I’ll cover in this book applies to a broad spectrum of applications. Our discussion will focus on development for the enterprise, but you can use the advanced programming techniques and strategies presented here to write better and more sophisticated applications of all kinds in Visual Basic .NET. In addition, much of the techniques, technologies, and development approaches covered here apply equally well to all .NET languages, including C#.

This is not a design patterns book. This book will instead focus on how to use more advanced features of Visual Basic .NET and the .NET Framework to build into your applications common features that have in the past been too difficult to build in. Also, do not think that the purpose of this book is to make you an “enterprise developer.” This book provides a set of fundamental skills and technologies in an accessible fashion for the average developer. Think of this book as a stepping-stone to more advanced development topics.

There are two core audiences for this book: the novice Visual Basic .NET programmer and the classically trained Visual Basic developer who, already familiar with the Visual Basic .NET language, wants to see how new platform features can be and should be integrated into applications. Most of the material in this book is intended to be an extension of existing technical resources. If you’re expecting a ground-up introduction to Visual Basic .NET, you’ll be disappointed. I have an expectation that you have a basic familiarity with the language and platform. If you do not, there are plenty of excellent books from MS Press on the subject of Visual Basic .NET and I’d recommend starting there.
