ASP.NET MVC In Action Free Download

The ASP.NET MVC Framework was a vision of Scott Guthrie in early 2007. With a prototype demonstration in late 2007 as well as a key hire of Phil Haack as the Senior Program Manager of the feature team, Scott made the vision a reality. At a time when the .NET community was becoming frustrated that other platforms had great MVC frameworks like Tapestry, Rails, and so on, Web Forms was losing favor as developers struggled to make it do things previously unimagined when it became public in 2001. Castle MonoRail was a very capable framework and  continues to have strong leadership behind it, but the broader .NET industry needed a change from Web Forms. Phil  Haack, with his experience outside of Microsoft as well as in the open source community, immediately came in and led the ASP.NET MVC Framework team to a successful 1.0 release that the .NET community is excited about.  ASP.NET MVC has the benefit of lessons learned from other popular  MVC frameworks such as Struts, Web Work, Tapestry, Rails, and Mono Rail. It also came about as C# starts to push away its fully statically typed roots. The language enhancements introduced with .NET 3.5 have been fully leveraged in the ASP.NET MVC Framework, 
giving it a huge advantage over frameworks  that came before as well as all the Java frameworks that are tied to the currently supported Java syntax. For people who have a diversified software background,  ASP.NET MVC is a great addition to the Visual Studio development experience. For those who began their 
software career with .NET 1.0 or later, it is a fundamental shift in thinking since they grew up with Web Forms being “normal” web development.

Ajax In Action Free Download

 Ajax brings together several well established web technologies and uses them in new and interesting ways. Learning to use a completely new technology for the first time is in some ways simpler because you start 
with a blank slate. Ajax is different: there is also much to unlearn. Because of  this, this book is organized somewhat differently from most Manning In Action books. You may notice this when reading and should know that we feel the way it is organized best suits this subject. And, as you will see, although the Ajax technologies themselves are all client side, the differences extend all the way down to the server. This book is mainly about client-side programming, and most of the code examples that you’ll find in here are JavaScript. The principles of Ajax decouple the client from the server beautifully, and can be used with any server-side language. We've therefore got a broad audience  to address and have opted to present our server-side code in a mixture of languages:  PHP, Java,  C#, and Visual Basic .NET. More importantly, though, we've tried to keep the server-side code relatively simple and implementation-agnostic, so that you can port it to whatever environment you choose.

WPF in Action with Visual Studio 2008 Free Download

The combination of WPF and Visual Studio 2008 represents the start of the next generation of Windows applications. Hand-coding XAML is fine if you're an early adopter, but to put WPF into production, you need to master the tools and application styles you'll use in your day job.
This book goes from a brief history of Windows Forms and WPF to Hello World in part one, then to describing layouts, styles, triggers, events and animations in the second part. The third goes to create a wiki application using commands and binding, datatemplates, converters, triggers, validation, then custom controls and drawing (including 3D!). I am a big fan of the MVVM pattern, but I liked that in this book, while it got described, it didn't suffocate the other topics, getting only a small subchapter in the binding section. The fourth part explains navigation, XBAP, goes briefly through ClickOnce and Silverlight, then has a large chapter about printing (too large, I believe). The book finishes with transition effects, interoperability with Windows Forms and 

threading.

wpf control development unleashed Free Download

When we build an application that presents data to the user in a way that is elegant, intuitive, and well designed, that user is encouraged to interact with the data. If the way in which that user interacts with the data is handled responsively and smoothly by our application, the user will be encouraged to continue using the application, and the data that changes as a result will have even more meaning than it did just moments ago because the user is now having a positive experience with the application. The combination of features provided by WPF, plus the ability to smoothly and elegantly respond to user behavior, and the ability to dynamically provide beautiful renderings of raw data make WPF a fantastic toolkit for building the best applications available on Windows today.

Head First AJAX free Download

Ajax is a way of  designing and building web pages that are as interactive and responsive as desktop applications. So what does that mean for you? You handle things at the client’s browser whenever you can. Your pages make 
asynchronous requests that allow the user to keep working instead of  waiting for a response. You only update the things on your pages that actually change. And best of  all, an Ajax page is built using standard Internet technologies, things you probably already know how to use, like:
XHTML, CSS, JAVA Script

This Book is Really Very helpful for those who want to learn Ajax.

C# Basic Free Download

C# is pronounced as "C sharp". It is a new programming language that enables programmers in quickly building solutions for the Microsoft .NET platform.  

Why C Sharp (C#)?
When people talk of computer programming languages, there is always a debate on which one is better. C++, Java, Perl, PHP3… the arguments and counter-points can be endless. However, it is 
our considered belief that that C# would be in a sense better than the rest. And there is a reason for this. 

Normally, whenever a new product is introduced, it betters the technologies of its ilk. For existing technologies evolve with their own pros and cons. Therefore, in 1995, when Sun introduced Java, 
it took the best from among all languages and  added current technology. Now Microsoft has done the same. Its taken the best features from  C++ and Java and morphed them into this new

Pro ASP.NET MVC 2 Free Download

This book is for professional software developers who already have a working understanding of C# and general web development concepts such as HTML and HTTP. Many readers will have background 
knowledge of traditional ASP.NET (now known as Web Forms, to distinguish it from MVC), so in many places I point out the similarities of and differences between the two ASP.NET technologies. But if you’ve 
used PHP, Rails, or another web development platform, that’s fine too. 
To get this most out of this book, you’ll need to have a fair level of passion and enthusiasm for your craft. I hope you’re not satisfied just to throw together any old code that appears at first to work, but 
instead would prefer to hone your skills by learning the design patterns, goals, and principles underpinning ASP.NET MVC. This book frequently compares your architectural options, aspiring to help 
you create the highest quality, most robust, simple, and maintainable code possible.
