The .NET Framework provides a runtime environment called the Common Language Runtime, which manages the execution of code and provides services that make the development of robust software easier. The Common Language Runtime (CLR) provides a solid foundation for developers to build various types of applications. Whether a developer is writing an ASP.NET application, a Windows Forms application, a Web Service, a mobile code application, a distributed application, or an application that combines several of these application models, the CLR provides huge benefits such as simplified development and the ability to integrate code written in various languages. This book is a high-end comprehensive reference to the capability of the CLR. The samples in the book have been written so that they not only illustrate a principle but give the reader a springboard to quickly translate the sample to practical, real-world applications. After reading this book, readers will be able to significantly increase their productivity by comfortably using the power and expressiveness of the Common Language Runtime in their applications. This book will take the reader beyond the syntax of C# to using and understanding the CLR to build secure, maintainable, and high performance applications.

This guide leads you through the differences in Studio in the .NET framework that didn't appear in older versions of Visual Studio, helps you understand the new rules for .NET security, and helps you fix problems created by holes in the .NET security.

This book can be presented in two different ways. Firstly, it introduces a particular methodology to build adaptive Web sites and secondly, it presents the main concepts behind Web mining and then applying them to adaptive Web sites. In this case, Adaptive Web Sites is the case study to exemplify the tools introduced in the text. The authors start by introducing the Web and motivating the need for adaptive Web sites. The second chapter introduces the main concepts behind a Web site: its operation, its associated data and structure, user sessions, etc. Chapter three explains the Web mining process and the tools to analyze Web data, mainly focused in machine learning. The fourth chapter looks at how to store and manage data. Chapter five looks at the three main and different mining tasks: content, links and usage. The following chapter covers Web personalization; a crucial topic if we want to adapt our site to specific groups of people. Chapter seven shows how to use information extraction techniques to find user behavior patterns. The subsequent chapter explains how to acquire and maintain knowledge extracted from the previous phase. Finally, chapter nine contains the case study where all the previous concepts are applied to present a framework to build adaptive Web sites. In other words, the authors have taken care of writing a self-contained book for people that want to learn and apply personalization and adaptation in Web sites. This is commendable considering the large and increasing bibliography in these and related topics. The writing is easy to follow and although the coverage is not exhaustive, the main concepts and topics are all covered.

Adobe AIR - это кросс-платформенная исполнительная среда для развертывания приложений Flash и Flex в качестве настольных или работающих в смешанном сетевом/автономном режиме. Поскольку они устанавливаются и выполняются локально, то имеют доступ к локальной файловой системе, что дает им преимущества над веб-приложениями. Приложения AIR могут при необходимости работать автономно, а когда появляется доступ к сети - в сетевом режиме.Авторы знакомят с важными функциями AIR API, а затем показывают, как на практике создаются приложения AIR. Подробно описывается, как создавать и настраивать системные окна, а также обмениваться данными с файлами локальной файловой системы или с базой данных. Благодаря тому что несколько мелких примеров объединены в один крупный проект, разрабатываемый на протяжении нескольких глав, читатель гтлавно осваивает основы и учится применять их для создания приложений в новом стиле «непостоянного подключения к сети». Уделено внимание тому, как AIR подключается к веб-сервисам и как связывает воедино Flex и JavaScript.Руководство по AIR написано для разработчиков, знакомых с Flash и/или Flex и стремящихся перейти от броузерных приложений к настольным. Книга хорошо иллюстрирована и содержит массу исходного кода, доступного для загрузки из сети Интернет.

This book does not provide any defined solutions or silver bullets. Integrating J2EE Platform applications with legacy systems is a difficult task that requires a thorough understanding of both legacy system applications and object-oriented design. We have tried to find a practical approach to applying the J2EE integration tier patterns in real-world situations, the main design principle being that of separation of concerns. Some of the designs described in this book are currently running in production, while others represent theoretical work that has not yet been tested in a full-scale production environment. We hope, however, that in reading this book you will gain valuable tools with which to start the long journey toward application integration.
