.NET Compact Framework Programming with Visual Basic .NET is the definitive tutorial and reference for the .NET Compact Framework (CF). It shows you how to transfer your skills and your code to the Pocket PC 2003 and other mobile and embedded smart devices. Authors Paul Yao and David Durant draw upon their years of research and experience with members of the Microsoft .NET CF team to show you exactly how the best CF programming gets done in Visual Basic .NET. This is the only book a programmer needs to master the art of CF coding. Throughout the book, sample code and examples illustrate best practices and programming techniques. In addition, the companion Web site includes downloadable code for all these examples, along with a set of development tools to help you with your CF development projects.

Patterns have proven to be practical tools for the programmer who knows how to use them. In .NET Patterns, distributed computing and .NET expert Christian Thilmany presents both an introduction to patterns for programmers working in the .NET environment and a library of patterns unique to the .NET platform.

In the past few months, a deluge of .NET books has hit store shelves, each one eager to explain the new programming philosophy of the .NET world. In the excitement, many of these books have left out the tricks and insights you need to really master .NET programming. Part of the problem is that no single work can cover the entire .NET platform-a sprawling, ambitious framework that revolutionizes everything from Internet applications to data access technology. Many .NET books provide a good overview of essential concepts, but they can't deal with the subtleties needed for all types of development.

If you are unfamiliar with how standards are developed, the history of the Rexx Standard may give some insight. The idea of a standard was first promoted by Linda Green, the IBM representative to the SHARE organization at the time. There was enthusiasm for the idea at the very first Rexx Symposium, which allowed Linda to make a case to the authorities, who allowed Linda to convene the first meeting. This was attended by several of the parties with a producer or user interest in Rexx and they "bootstrapped" themselves to being a committee by suggesting Brian Marks as chairman, a choice subsequently endorsed by the Information Technology Industry Council which administers this class of standard.

With a dynamic learn by doing focus, this laboratory manual encourages students to explore data structures by implementing them, a process through which students discover how data structures work and how they can be applied.

Since the original article was written, there have been many changes and improvements to the J language. While the mathematically oriented users no doubt drove these, many of the changes have not only simplified the code, but also provided considerable speed up to the operations typical of commercial processing. As a result I have updated the original article with discussion of these changes. J, like its precursor APL, is used in business for financial and mathematical modeling, analysis of large databases, engineering, actuarial work, forecasting, operational research studies, and other applications where a knowledgeable person is mostly employing it in their own work or as a teaching and communications tool. Quite often those employing it are very reticent about how they use it, or just exactly what the application consists of. They view it as conferring a definite edge, a competitive advantage in their business that they would prefers others not be aware of. When competing for fixed price applications development contracts, others are equally disinclined to broadcast the fact that they employ such languages to gain a speed and cost advantage. All this makes it rather difficult for an IT or business manager to evaluate whether J is applicable to their own business. The J language is a powerful interpretive language with a concise syntax. Its very power and conciseness makes it difficult for a novice to master, but also makes it of interest to a manager because little code and effort is required to achieve results. This article discuses the features of J, which make it applicable to typical commercial processing, tasks. It provides simple code examples to illustrate for a manager how little code may be required to implement powerful data manipulation capabilities. Hopefully the article will be of value to those evaluating high-level languages suitable for commercial processing in a distributed, client/server or mainframe environment.
