C# is pronounced as "C sharp". It is a new programming language that enables programmer
in quickly building solutions for the Microsoft .NET platform.
Today, one cannot, just cannot, afford to ignore C#. It is our considered opinion that it holds
immense promise and we are going to try our best, through this book, to help you realize its
potential. Be assured, we are not going to teach you just another programming language. It is our
intention to help you apply C# in practical situations, to actually implement your newly acquired
knowledge on the Net.
With this brief introduction, let us embark on a path that will take you to new adventures in the
world of Internet. In this chapter, we will get you started with C# by introducing a few very
simple programs. For remember, even a journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single
step.
We assume that you have no prior knowledge of any programming language. But before we get
ensnared in the fascinating world of C#, let's make a directory where we will save all our work.
In order to do so, click on Start, Programs, then go to Accessories and select Command Prompt
(Windows 2000) or the MS-DOS Prompt as it is called in Windows 98. Once you are at the
command prompt create a directory called csharp (md csharp) and change to this directory (cd
csharp). Now type the command 'edit a.cs', which will open the MS-DOS editor - the world's
simplest editor
C:csharp>edit a.cs
Yes, we very well understand how you must be yearning to write your first C# program and get
it working. But before we do that, there are certain intricacies that you must understand. What
a.cs refers to is called the filename or program name. Here we have named our file or program
a.cs. Why a.cs? Well, before we began writing this book, we consulted a renowned astrologer who
predicted that if we named our first file a.cs then great luck would be showered on us. Not
wanting to quarrel with the stars, we named our file a.cs. But you are free to go ahead and call
your file any name you want. But then do so at your own risk! Remember, forewarned is
forearmed!
Jokes aside, 'cs' is the extension used for C# files. They say of all the things you wear, your
expression is the most important. Notwithstanding this, one does look more dapper in a suit
rather than a vapid shirt and trousers. Similarly, though it is not mandatory to provide the
extension 'cs', you can make a filename seem more impressive by giving it an extension. To
reiterate, you could have given the extension say 'ws' too; it does not matter. But absent
minded as we are, it is more prudent to give appropriate extensions while naming files
As the first step, we will understand the basic structure of a C# program
a.cs
class zzz
{
}
Here we start with the word class zzz followed by open and close curly braces. A class is nothing
but a collection --- a collection of everything that the programming language contains. It is like a
packet or a container, which can hold anything. Hence everything in a C# program must be
enclosed within a class. We have named our class zzz, again you could have named it anything
else but if you would rather follow our naming convention (for reasons well amplified above!),
name it zzz.
Now for the part that you've been eagerly waiting for
In order to execute the program, go to the File menu, and click on Exit. You will get a dialog box
asking you whether you want to save the file or not, say yes. Now that we have typed and saved
our file we need to execute it. The compiler creates executable code. The command used to call
the C# compiler is csc followed by the program name. Since our program name is a.cs, the
command csc a.cs will call the compiler. A compiler is a program which understands the C#
programming language. Thus the word class is part and parcel of the C# language. Microsoft lets
you freely download the C# compiler from their web site :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp. Select .Net Framework SDK under .NET
Development. Choose the Download option to download the sdk which is around 127 MB large.
Install the product on your machine cause if you don’t, none of the following programs will work.
Also, Internet Explorer 5.5 and Microsoft Data Access Components(2.7) must be installed prior
to installing the sd
Once done, type the command as follows:
C:csharp>csc a.c
You will see the following output on your screen in the dos box
Microsoft (R) Visual C# Compiler Version 7.00.9254 [CLR version v1.0.2914] Copyright (C)
Microsoft Corp 2000-2001. All rights reserved.
error CS5001: Program ‘a.exe’ does not have an entry point define
Just as the excitement was beginning to grow, our program returns with an error message.
Don't worry, occasional failure is the price of improvement.
The error message starts with an error number CS5001 followed by a cryptic message, which
we do not understand.
We are aware of the fact that everything has a beginning and an end. Similarly, a C# program
also has a start and an end. Ah! Now you realize why the error occurred. We forgot to tell C#
where to start executing our program from. This starting point is also called an entry point
You can specify the entry point by adding static void Main() to your program, just as we have
done below
a.cs
class zzz
{
static void Main()
{
}
}
Compile the above code giving the command as csc a.cs. Voila! Now no errors.
The compiler will now generate an exe file called a.exe. Giving the command dir at the command
prompt will prove the same. On keen observation you will notice that among the 2 files listed,
there is a file by the name a.exe. Simply type 'a' at the command prompt, your program will
now be executed!
C:csharp>a
The program will run but shows no output on our screen. But, at least we get no errors.
The words, static and void, will be explained to you a little later, in the right perspective. Thus if
you had felt the beginnings of a massive headache, you can breathe easy! Anything followed by
'(' and ')' brackets is called a function. So, it is obvious that Main is nothing but a function.
Here we are creating a function called Main. It is followed by the '{' and '}' curly braces. Note
that the letter M in Main is capital. Thus C# requires a function called Main, which is the first
function that will be executed. Failure to do so will result in an error. Ergo, whenever you see a
word beginning with an open '(' and close bracket ')', C# and most other programming
languages call it a function. The { signifies the start of a function and the } signifies the end of the
function. The guys who designed the language decided to use {} braces instead of start and end.
When you tell people that you are learning a programming language, you are actually learning to
use {} braces to specify the beginning and end of a function. These rules have to be remembered
by rote. You have no choice.
C#, The Basics

C# in Detail In the latter part of 2000 I worked on behalf of Content Master writing their Introduction to C#
training course which now forms a part of Microsoft's official training curricula (course 2124). I
also taught two runs of this course at Redmond, once to developers, and once to trainers.
Not long after this my friend Francis Glassborow asked me to write and deliver two 90 minute
presentations on C# at the ACCU Spring 2001 Conference held in Oxford, UK.

Chapter 1, “What Is New in PHP 5?” discusses the new features in PHP 5. Most of these new
features deal with new object-oriented features, including small examples for each feature. It
also gives an overview of the new extensions in PHP 5. Most of the topics mentioned in this
chapter are explained in more detail in later chapters.
Chapter 2, “PHP 5 Basic Language,” introduces the PHP syntax to those readers not familiar
with PHP. All basic language constructs and variable types are explained along with simple
examples to give the reader the necessary building blocks to build real scripts.
Chapter 3, “PHP 5 OO Language,” continues exploring PHP 5's syntax, focusing on its
object-oriented functionality. This chapter covers basics, such as properties and methods, and
progresses to more complicated subjects, such as polymorphism, interfaces, exceptions, and
lots more.
Using the previous chapter as a foundation, Chapter 4, “PHP 5 Advanced OOP and Design
Patterns,” covers some of the most advanced features of PHP 5’s object model. After learning
these features, including four commonly used design patterns and PHP’s reflection capabilities,
you will soon become an OO wizard.
Now that you are familiar with the syntax and language features of PHP, Chapter 5, “How to
Write a Web Application with PHP,” introduces you to the world of writing web applications.
The authors show you basics, such as handling input through form variables and safety
techniques, but this chapter also includes more advanced topics, such as handling sessions with
cookies and PHP's session extension. You also find a few tips on laying out your source code for
your web applications.
Chapter 6, “Databases with PHP 5,” introduces using MySQL, SQLite, and Oracle from PHP,
but focuses primarily on the PHP 5-specific details of database access. For each database, you
learn about some of its strong and weak points, as well as the types of applications at which
each excels. And of course, you learn how to interface with them using PHP's native functions
or using PEAR DB. All scripts can throw errors, but of course you do not want them to show up
on your web site once your application has passed its development state.
Chapter 7, “Error Handling,” deals with different types of errors that exist, how to handle
those errors with PHP, and how to handle errors with PEAR. As one of the important new
features in PHP 5 is its renewed XML support, a chapter on XML features in PHP 5 could not be
missed.
Chapter 8, “XML with PHP 5,” talks about the different strategies of parsing XML and
converting XML to other formats with XSLT. XML-RPC and SOAP are introduced to show you
how to implement web services with both techniques. Although not specifically for PHP 5, the
five mainstream extensions that
Chapter 9,“Mainstream Extensions,” covers are important enough to deserve a place in this
book. The first section, “Files and Streams,” explains about handling files and network streams.
A stream is nothing more than a way to access external data, such as a file, remote URL, or
compressed file. The second section, “Regular Expressions,” explains the syntax of a regular
expression engine (PCRE) that PHP uses with numerous examples to show you how these
expressions can make your life easier. In “Date Handling,” we explain the different functions
used to parse and format date and time strings. In “Graphics Manipulation with GD,” we show
you through two real-life scenarios the basic functions of creating and manipulating graphics
with PHP. The last section in this chapter, “Multibyte Strings and Character Sets,” explains the
different character sets and the functions to convert and handle different ones, including
multi-byte strings used in Asian languages.
PHP 5 Power Programming

Chapter 1 An Introduction to PHP The past five years have been fantastic in terms of the explosive growth of the Internet and the
new ways in which people are able to communicate with one another. Spearheading this
phenomenon has been the World Wide Web (WWW), with thousands of new sites being
launched daily and consumers being consistently offered numerous outstanding services via this
new communications medium. With this exploding market has come a great need for new
technologies and developers to learn these technologies. Chances are that if you are reading
this paragraph, you are one of these Web developers or are soon to become one. Regardless of
your profession, you’ve picked this book up because you’ve heard of the great new technology
called PHP.
This chapter introduces the PHP language, discusses its history and capabilities, and provides
the basic information you need to begin developing PHPenabled sites. Several examples are
provided throughout, hopefully serving to excite you about what PHP can offer you and your
organization. You will learn how to install and configure the PHP software on both Linux/UNIX
and Windows machines, and you will learn how to embed PHP in HTML. At the conclusion of
the chapter, you will be ready to begin delving into the many important aspects of the PHP
language. So light the fire, turn on your favorite jazz album, and curl up on the lazyboy; you
are about to learn what will be one of the most exciting additions to your resume: PHP
programming.
An Abbreviated History PHP set its roots in 1995, when an independent software development contractor named
Rasmus Lerdorf developed a Perl/CGI script that enabled him to know how many visitors were
reading his online resume. His script performed two duties: logging visitor information and
displaying the count of visitors to the Web page. Because the WWW as we know it today was
still so young at that time, tools such as these were nonexistent, and they prompted emails
inquiring about Lerdorf’s scripts. Lerdorf thus began giving away his toolset, dubbed Personal
Home Page (PHP), or Hypertext Preprocessor.
The clamor for the PHP toolset prompted Lerdorf to begin developing additions to PHP, one of
which converted data entered in an HTML form into symbolic variables that allowed for their
export to other systems. To accomplish this, he opted to continue development in C code rather
than Perl. This addition to the existing PHP toolset resulted in PHP 2.0, or PHP-FI (Personal
Home Page—Form Interpreter). This 2.0 release was accompanied by a number of
enhancements and improvements from programmers worldwide.
The new PHP release was extremely popular, and a core team of developers soon formed. They
kept the original concept of incorporating code directly alongside HTML and rewrote the
parsing
engine, giving birth to PHP 3.0. By the 1997 release of version 3.0, over 50,000 users were
using PHP to enhance their Web pages. Development continued at a hectic pace over the next
two years, with hundreds of functions being added and the user count growing in leaps and
bounds. At the onset of 1999, Netcraft (http://www.netcraft.com) reported a conservative
estimate of a user base surpassing 1,000,000, making PHP one of the most popular scripting
languages in the world.
Early 1999 saw the announcement of the upcoming PHP 4.0. Although one of PHP’s strongest
features was its proficiency at executing scripts, the developers had not intended that large-scale
applications were going to be built using PHP. Thus they set out to build an even-more robust
parsing engine, better known as Zend (http://www.zend.com). Development continued rapidly,
culminating in the May 22, 2000, release of PHP 4.0.
In addition to the Zend processor, Zend technologies, based in Israel, offers the Zend optimizer,
which increases even further the performance benefits of the Zend parsing engine. Available
for download free of charge, the benchmarks have shown that the optimizer can result in a 40
to 100 percent overall performance gain. Check out the Zend site for more information.
At the time of this writing, according to Netcraft (http://www.netcraft.com), PHP is installed on
over 3.6 million domains, making it one of the most popular scripting languages in the world.
The future of PHP indeed looks bright, as major Web sites and personal users alike continue to
embrace the product.

Chapter 1. Introduction to PHP Contents:
What Does PHP Do?
A Brief History of PHP
Installing PHP
A Walk Through PHP
PHP is a simple yet powerful language designed for creating HTML content. This chapter covers
essential background on the PHP language. It describes the nature and history of PHP; which
platforms it runs on; and how to download, install, and configure it. This chapter ends by showing
you PHP in action, with a quick walkthrough of several PHP programs that illustrate common
tasks, such as processing form data, interacting with a database, and creating graphics.
1.1. What Does PHP Do?
PHP can be used in three primary ways:
Server-side scripting PHP was originally designed to create dynamic web content, and it is still best suited for
that task. To generate HTML, you need the PHP parser and a web server to send the
documents. Lately, PHP has also become popular for generating XML documents, graphics,
Flash animations, PDF files, and more.
Command-line scripting PHP can run scripts from the command line, much like Perl, awk, or the Unix shell. You
might use the command-line scripts for system administration tasks, such as backup and
log parsing.
Client-side GUI applications Using PHP-GTK (http://gtk.php.net), you can write full-blown, cross-platform GUI
applications in PHP.
In thi
s book, we'll concentrate on the first item, using PHP to develop dynamic web content.
PHP runs on all major operating systems, from Unix variants including Linux, FreeBSD, and
Solaris to such diverse platforms as Windows and Mac OS X. It can be used with all leading web
servers, including Apache, Microsoft IIS, and the Netscape/iPlanet servers.
The language is very flexible. For example, you aren't limited to outputting just HTML or other
text files—any document format can be generated. PHP has built-in support for generating PDF
files, GIF, JPG, and PNG images, and Flash movies.
One of PHP's most significant features is its wide-ranging support for databases. PHP supports
all major databases (including MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Sybase, and ODBC-compliant
databases), and even many obscure ones. With PHP, creating web pages with dynamic content
from a database is remarkably simple.
Finally, PHP provides a library of PHP code to perform common tasks, such as database
abstraction, error handling, and so on, with the PHP Extension and Application Repository
(PEAR). PEAR is a framework and distribution system for reusable PHP components. You can
find out more about it at http://pear.php.net.

Zend was created by Andi Gutmans and Zeev Suraski in 1997. Zend delivers the premier Web
application platform products and services for PHP applications. Zend supports PHP by writing
and maintaining the Zend Engine and other PHP extensions such as the SOAP extension. All of
these works are open source and donated back to the PHP community. In commercial business,
Zend brings products and services to the market to help customers develop, deploy, and manage
PHP applications. Zend's solution supports the lifecycle of business-critical PHP applications.
Zend has a fast growing product portfolio, including:
- Zend Engine
- Zend Core
- Zend Platform
- Zend Studio
- Zend SafeGuard
- Zend Optimizer
Zend Engine If you are using PHP, you probably also are also using Zend Engine. The Zend Engine is
open-source software and available under an Apache-style license. The first version, Zend
Engine 1, was introduced in 1999 alongside PHP Version 4. Zend Engine 1 is the core scripting
engine of PHP, plus many additional features and platform support beyond Linux/Apache. Zend
Engine 2, the current release, provides more revolutionary capabilities including its built-in
robust object model.
Zend Core for IBM Zend Core is an enhanced version of the open source PHP. Delivering out-of-the-box all the
necessary drivers and third party libraries to work with the database, such as DB2, Zend core
makes the software installation easier and faster with insance PHP setup. Zend Core for IBM is a
fully Zend/IBM certified version of PHP for the IBM databases. The product includes tight
integration with IBM database server DB2 and Cloudscape. It also provides native support for
XML and Web Services. It delivers a rapid development and deployment foundation for
database driven applications and offers an upgrade path from the easy-to-use, lightweight
Cloudscape database to the mission critical DB2, by providing a consistent API between the two.
Product highlights are:
- PHP 5
- Easy to install
- Graphical Web-based Administration Console for Cloudscape servers and PHP
- environment
- Bundled IBM Cloudscape server and DB2 drivers for enterprise database Web application
- deployments
- Easy to access documentation
- Support options available from Zend
IBM and Zend are collaborating on development and support for the PHP environment.
This collaboration reinforces the IBM commitment to the open source community and
foundations, such as Linux, Apache, Eclipse, and Derby. The IBM newly introduced and
optimized DB2 and Cloudscape extension for PHP are submitted back to the PHP community
and integrated into Zend Core for IBM.
This expands the IBM investment in open source by helping developers more effectively create
and deploy applications. The availability of Zend Core for IBM will significantly enhance
developer support for the IBM Cloudscape open-source database, since PHP is one of the most
popular Web programming languages in the world. In addition, the Zend Core PHP maintenance
process ensures better stability and reliability of PHP as a result of intensive testing and bug
fixes that are posted back to the PHP community of users across all facets of the market.
Zend Platform Zend Platform makes the life easier mostly for administrators in the enterprise environment. It
includes enterprise management and intelligence features, easing the administration of multiple
PHP servers. The Zend Central is a central management console for administrators to manage

Joe Celko's Thinking in Sets: Auxiliary, Temporal, and Virtual Tables
in SQL (c) by Morgan Kaufmann
The type of the release is: eBook
In the PDF format with ISBN: 0123741378 and Pub Date: January 21, 2008
The size of the release is: 01 disks x 1.44mb
And released on: 02/12/2008
Joe Celko has looked deep into the code of novice SQL programmers and
found a consistent and troubling pattern. These programmers have not
changed their approach from writing code for a procedural language, like
C, to a declarative language--which is what SQL is. As a result they are
not fully using the power and capability inherent in SQL and that
translates into writing more code than they need to write, more complex
code than is needed, and ultimately lower productivity. Thinking in sets
reveals the conceptual shift these programmers need to make. Through
detailed examples and clear explanations, Joe enables readers to
concepualize database problems as rooted in sets and solvable through
declarative programming techniques. The book focuses on three main
table-based SQL techniques that not only demonstrate this set
characteristic of SQL but also dramatically simplify application
development. For each table type--auxillary, temporal and virrual--Joe
teaches not only the new kind of thinking required to use them
effectively but also how to choose the right table technique to apply
and why.
* Joe brings you comprehensive treatment of SQL programming techniques
that make use of tables rather than procedural code.
* The focus on real world examples and Joe's creative teaching style
enable SQL programmers to conquer a common weak spot, while learning
these new tools.
* A unique contribution, many techniques which are novel and unavailable
elsewhere.

Since 1967, the New Catholic Encyclopedia, cited by Library Journal as one of the top 50
reference sources of the millennium, has been a standard in public, academic and high school
libraries worldwide. Prized for its scholarly presentation of persons and subjects related to
Catholicism and the humanities, the Encyclopedia is the first place you turn when your users
have questions on topics such as abortion, divorce, witchcraft and tolerance. Gale, together with
The Catholic University of America, is proud to announce a new and updated edition of this
multi-volume set -- the first new edition in more than 30 years.
This revised edition features contributions from hundreds of scholars from all over the world,
under the guidance of Catholic University of America's Reverend Berard Marthaler, O.F.M.Conv.
and Gale. Incorporating content from the five supplementary volumes to the first edition of the
New Catholic Encyclopedia, this new edition also features revised and new articles, bringing the
entire encyclopedia up to date. Among the 12,000 entries in the Encyclopedia are articles on
theology, philosophy, history, literary figures, saints, musicians and much more.
What impact did Catholicism have on Shakespeare? What role does music play in religious
worship? Why is the fish a Christian symbol? What did John Paul II have to do with the fall of
Communism in Eastern Europe? What's the difference between the Catholic and Protestant
bibles? The only comprehensive source on Catholic teachings, the New Catholic Encyclopedia is
the source to consult for answers to questions like these, and hundreds of others.
In addition to the hundreds of new signed articles on a wide variety of topics, this new edition
also features biographies of contemporary religious figures; thousands of photographs, maps and
illustrations; and updated bibliographical citations. The 15th volume is a cumulative index to the
entire encyclopedia.

The Encyclopedia of Protestantism is part of a set of encyclopedias on the religions of the world
that emphasizes the living faiths and their historical and social backgrounds. In about 600
A-to-Z entries, this encyclopedia provides easy access to the theological concepts, personalities,
historical events, institutions, and movements that helped to shape Protestantism and the way it
is practiced today.
Melton, a solid researcher with a number of previous reference works to his credit, explains the
history, concepts, people, events, and major organizations of Protestantism worldwide,
highlighting those geographical areas reached by the modern missionary movement.

In our present era of nanoscience and nanotechnology, new materials are poised to take center
stage in dramatically improving friction and wear behavior under extreme conditions. Compiled
by two eminent experts, Self-Organization During Friction: Advanced Surface-Engineered
Materials and systems Design details the latest advances and developments in self-organization
phenomena, physical and chemical aspects of friction, and add new method of friction control
using advanced materials and coatings. Approaching nanomaterials from the perspective of
irreversible thermodynamics and self-organization, this work presents a new approach to
developing an emerging generation of surface-engineered self-adaptive nanostructured
materials. The book demonstrates how nanoscale structure, synergistic alloying, and the
non-equilibrium state of surface-engineered layers affects the capacity of these next-generation
materials to resist wear in heavily loaded tribosystems. These links become clear through
discussions on non-equilibrium thermodynamics, tribological compatibility, and self-organization
phenomena during friction. International experts also supply cutting-edge information on
nanocrystalline and nanolaminated coatings while tracing new trends in materials science and
surface engineering at the nanoscale. By combining detailed discussions on the underlying theory
with practical examples of extreme tribological application-Organization During Friction outlines
a forward-looking strategy for developing and implementing new surface-engineered materials
that promise previously unattainable levels of tribological performance.

Materials are the foundation of technology. As such, most universities provide engineering students
with the basic concepts of materials science, but few offer the applications-oriented background
that students need to succeed in industry. This book fills that gap. From a cross-disciplinary
perspective, the author examines the practical applications of engineering materials across a broad
range of industries. The topics addressed include electronic packaging, smart materials, thermal
management, and materials development. Designed for use as both a text and a reference, Applied
Materials Science is both scientifically rich and technologically relevant.
