WCF is the Microsoft model for building services, whereas LINQ to Entities is the Microsoft ORM for accessing underlying data storage. Want to learn both? You would normally have to dig through huge reference tomes-so wouldn’t you agree that a simple-to-follow practical tutorial on WCF and LINQ to Entities is the way to get ahead?

This book is the quickest and easiest way to learn WCF and LINQ to Entities in Visual Studio 2010. WCF and LINQ to Entities are both powerful yet complex technologies from Microsoft-but you will be surprised at how easily this book will get you get up and running with them.

Mastery of these two topics will quickly enable you to create Service-Oriented applications, and allow you to take your first steps into the world of Service Oriented Architecture without becoming overwhelmed.

Through this book, you will learn what’s going on behind the scenes with WCF, and dive into the basic yet most useful techniques for LINQ to Entities. You will develop three real-world multi-tiered WCF services from beginning to end, with LINQ to Entities being used in the data access layer of the services. Various clients including windows console applications, the WCF Test Client, Windows Form applications and WPF applications will be created to test these WCF services. By the end of this book, you will be 100% confident that you know WCF and LINQ to Entities, not only in theory, but with sound real-world experience.

A novel approach to developing and applying databases with Visual C#.NET

Practical Database Programming with Visual C#.NET clearly explains the considerations and applications in database programming with Visual C#.NET 2008 and in developing relational databases such as Microsoft Access, SQL Server, and Oracle Database. Sidestepping the traditional approach of using large blocks of code, Ying Bai utilizes both Design Tools and Wizards provided by Visual Studio.NET and real-time object methods to incorporate over sixty real sample database programming projects along with detailed illustrations and explanations to help readers understand the key techniques and programming technologies in database programming.

Extensible Markup Language (XML) has become a standard for developing distributed applications. In the LearnKey course XML Essentials, expert instructor Martin Schaeferle offers an overview of XML for IT professionals, business decision makers, system administrators and anyone who needs a basic understanding of this web development tool. At the conclusion of this course, you'll be familiar with the uses and features of XML and have the foundation to coordinate projects with developers building XML-based web applications.

Книга предназначена для самостоятельного изучения новой компьютерной технологии -- XML (eXtensible Markup Language, расширяемый язык разметок), быстро проникающей буквально во все области обмена информацией. Представлены новейшие аспекты технологии XML -- язык описания документов XSD, язык создания запросов XQuery, форматирование документов на языке XSL-FO. Начав с основ
технологии XML, автор выводит читателя на уровень самостоятельного создания программ-обработчиков документов XML. Изложение основано на авторском курсе лекций, его отличает краткость и простота. Большое количество примеров и упражнений позволяет глубоко освоить материал.

This book is primarily a practical reference book for professional XSLT developers. It assumes no previous knowledge of the language, and many developers have used it as their first introduction to XSLT; however, it is not structured as a tutorial, and there are other books on XSLT that provide a gentler approach for beginners.
The book does assume a basic knowledge of XML, HTML, and the architecture of the Web, and it is written for experienced programmers. There’s no assumption that you know any particular language such as Java or Visual Basic, just that you recognize the concepts that all programming languages have in common.
The book is suitable both for XSLT 1.0 users upgrading to XSLT 2.0, and for newcomers to XSLT. The book is also equally suitable whether you work in the Java or .NET world.

* XML is now ubiquitous, not just in Web development, but as the underpinning of interactive Web services: applications that really do run on any platform
* Includes twenty-four one-hour lessons that recreate a typical week-long introductory seminar
* Provides readers with a sound, fundamental understanding of XML and how it changes application development
* Explains how to use XML when dealing with transforms, schemas, and other Web services requirements
* The authors teach courses for IBM Canada
* Companion Web site features an online presentation by the authors that follows along with each chapter and includes an audio-only option for readers with dial-up Internet connection

Beginning XML provides a complete course in the Extensible Markup Language (XML) with an unusually gradual learning curve. In fact, the introduction states that the book is "for people who know that it would be a pretty good idea to learn the language, but aren't 100 percent sure why." Despite its recognition of the fuzziness of readers' understanding of the technology, the book delivers a rather comprehensive study of XML.

XML technologies offer web developers and designers more flexibility than ever before. In Real-World XML, industry expert Joe Marini covers the best programming practices with XML, including the tools needed to build effective XML structures. He demonstrates the implementation of XML formats, how these formats work in real-world situations, and how they can facilitate project planning and development. Exercise files accompany the course.

Цель настоящей книги — по возможности глубоко рассмотреть вопросы создания приложений XML на языке Java. В этой книге рассмотрена реализация стандартов XML, таких как DOM и XSL, на языке Java, а также влияние, которое оказал XML на библиотеки Java (например, Swing и JavaBeans). Все темы этой книги проиллюстрированы новыми примерами полностью работоспособных программ. «Блоковый» подход, который был использован при написании этой книги, позволит вам быстро найти полноценные ответы на интересующие вас вопросы. Авторы подразумевали, что вы знакомы с основами языка Java. Однако предварительное знакомство с XML для чтения этой книги совсем не обязательно: мы рассмотрим XML с самого начала.
