Sams : Teach Yourself Visual C Sharp 2008 in 24 Hours

Sams Publishing | 2008 | 529 pages | PDF

With Microsoft’s introduction of the .NET platform, a new, exciting programming language was born.
Visual C# is now the language of choice for developing on the .NET platform, and Microsoft has even
written a majority of the .NET Framework using Visual C#. Visual C# is a modern object-oriented
language designed and developed from the ground up with a best-of-breed mentality, implementing
and expanding on the best features and functions found in other languages. Visual C# 2008 combines
the power and flexibility of C++ with some of the simplicity of Visual C#.

This book is targeted toward those who have little or no programming experience or who might be picking
up Visual C# as a second language. The book has been structured and written with a purpose: to get you
productive as quickly as possible. I’ve used my experiences in writing applications with Visual C# and
teaching Visual C# to create a book that I hope cuts through the fluff and teaches you what you need to know.
All too often, authors fall into the trap of focusing on the technology rather than on the practical application of
the technology. I’ve worked hard to keep this book focused on teaching you practical skills that you can apply
immediately toward a development project.

This book is divided into five parts, each of which focuses on a different aspect of developing applications with
Visual C# 2008. These parts generally follow the flow of tasks you’ll perform as you begin creating your own
programs with Visual C# 2008. I recommend that you read them in the order in which they appear.

Oxford Bible Atlas

This new edition of the Oxford Bible Atlas, now with full-colour maps and illustrations, has been thoroughly revised
to bring it up to date with regard both to biblical scholarship and to archaeology and topography. The Atlas will help
readers of the Bible understand the contexts in which its stories are set and to appreciate the world from which it
emerged and which formed its background. Maps show the geographical setting of the Bible's stories and reflect the
successive stages of the Bible's accounts, while specially chosen full-colour illustrations bring the countries and their
peoples to life.

The accompanying text describes the land of Palestine, and its wider ancient Near Eastern and east Mediterranean settings.

It outlines clearly the successive historical periods, and describes the major civilizations with which Israelites, Jews,
and early Christians came into contact. There is also an illustrated survey of the relevance of archaeology for the
study of the Bible. The Atlas provides a superb guide to the geography of the Holy Land throughout biblical history,
from the Exodus period through to New Testament times.

Programming Firefox


This is your guide to building Internet applications and user interfaces with the Mozilla component framework, which is best known for the Firefox web browser and Thunderbird email client. Programming Firefox demonstrates how to use the XML User Interface Language (XUL) with open source tools in the framework's Cross-Platform Component (XPCOM) library to develop a variety of projects, such as commercial web applications and Firefox extensions.

This book serves as both a programmer's reference and an in-depth tutorial, so not only do you get a comprehensive look
at XUL's capabilities--from simple interface design to complex, multitier applications with real-time operations--but you also
learn how to build a complete working application with XUL. If you're coming from a Java or .NET environment, you'll be
amazed at how quickly large-scale applications can be constructed with XPCOM and XUL.

Topics in Programming Firefox include:

An overview of Firefox technology
An introduction to the graphical elements that compose a XUL application
Firefox development tools and the process used to design and build applications
Managing an application with multiple content areas
Introduction to Resource Description Files, and how the Firefox interface renders RDF
Manipulating XHTML with JavaScript
Displaying documents using the Scalable Vector Graphics standard and HTML Canvas
The XML Binding Language and interface overlays to extend Firefox
Implementing the next-generation forms interface through XForms
Programming Firefox is ideal for the designer or developer charged with delivering innovative standards-based Internet applications, whether they're web server applications or Internet-enabled desktop applications. It's not just a how-to book,
but a what-if exploration that encourages you to push the envelope of the Internet experience.
