A must have for J2EE developers working on Eclipse. -- Valentin Crettaz, Val's Blog

The open source Eclipse has proven to be a best-of-class, extensible application development framework. Out of the zip file, Eclipse offers many tools for developing Java applications including wizards, unit testing, debuggers, and editors. However, these tools do not support the development of enterprise applications.

Up until this point, an enterprise developer using Eclipse had to spend a large amount of time locating and evaluating plug-ins to build a suite of enterprise tools. The Eclipse Web Tools project has changed that by providing a comprehensive tools kit for developing enterprise applications called the J2EE Standard Tools (JST). JST along with WST (Web Standard Tools) will make Eclipse a much more complete application development framework for Java developers.

"Pro Eclipse JST" will cover these J2EE Standard Tools in detail. It's essentially a wide range of plug-ins for developing and integrating Servlets, JSPs, EJBs, and more that most other enterprise Java developers use on a daily basis into the Eclipse framework and IDE for use and professional practice.

Learn Quantum Computing with Python and Q# demystifies quantum computing. Using Python and the new quantum programming language Q#, you'll learn QC fundamentals as you apply quantum programming techniques to real-world examples including cryptography and chemical analysis. Learn Quantum Computing with Python and Q# builds your understanding of quantum computers, using Microsoft's Quantum Development Kit to abstract away the mathematical complexities. You'll learn QC basics as you create your own quantum simulator in Python, then move on to using the QDK and the new Q# language for writing and running algorithms very different to those found in classical computing. Key Features * The underlying mechanics of how quantum computers work * How to simulate qubits in Python * Q# and the Microsoft Quantum Developer Kit * How to apply quantum algorithms to real-world examples For readers with basic programming skills and some experience of linear algebra, calculus and complex numbers. About the technology Quantum computing is the next step in computing power and scalability, with the potential to impact everything from data science to information security. Using qubits, the fundamental unit of quantum information, quantum computers can solve problems beyond the scale of classical computing. Software packages like Microsoft's Quantum Development Kit and the Q# language are now emerging to give programmers a quick path to exploring quantum development for the first time. Christopher Granade completed his PhD in physics (quantum information) at the University of Waterloo's Institute for Quantum Computing, and now works in the Quantum Architectures and Computation (QuArC) group at Microsoft. He works in developing the standard libraries for Q# and is an expert in the statistical characterization of quantum devices from classical data. Previously, Christopher helped Scott Aaronson prepare lectures into his recent book, Quantum Computing Since Democritus. Sarah Kaiser completed her PhD in physics (quantum information) at the University of Waterloo's Institute for Quantum Computing. She has spent much of her career developing new quantum hardware in the lab, from satellites to hacking quantum cryptography hardware. Communicating what is so exciting about quantum is her passion, and she loves finding new demos and tools to help enable the quantum community to grow. When not at the keyboard, she loves kayaking and writing books about engineering for kids.

This guide for intermediate to advanced developers focuses on the finer points of programming with Java. Although some chapters are related to technology traditionally used with the Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE), most of the material is equally relevant to the Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) and the development of web applications. Sample topics

Pro ASP.NET 2.0 Website Programming shows you how to harness the ASP.NET technology to build websites that tackle real business needs. It provides ideas and practices that help reduce maintenance costs, decrease development time, and manage user perception. It discusses not only the technical implementation but the business reasoning behind the ideas--using real business situations, drawn directly from the author's extensive consulting experience. Business application development projects routinely begin with limited resources, tight budgets, and constrained timelines. Many developers respond to this by starting their coding immediately, with the hope of maximizing their time. But it's already been proven that the best way to finish projects on time and under budget is to invest some time up front to make the development project operate more smoothly and efficiently in the long run. This book shows you how to build reusable components to reduce the overall amount of code you need to write, and to keep the user experience consistent. If you have a basic knowledge of ASP.NET, VB.NET, and Visual Studio then this book will also show you how to: Create reusable services and controls to manage common web tasks, such as logging in and displaying important customer information Manage different types of data, including files Build portals using the web parts framework Create a simple but effective reporting framework Develop a SQL tool for easy data searching Implement encryption and security strategies to protect your application and your customer's data With this book, you'll be able to exploit ASP.NET 2.0 to its full potential, and provide your users and customers with websites that are intuitive, secure, and high performing.

*Readers will witness a real application being built with Spring framework, which is a very hot topic. *Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) is most up to date at time of book's release; AOP is a hot topic right now. *Will be endorsed by Open Source Spring Framework founder and head, Rod Johnson (plus a Foreward, name on cover, and/or possible Spring logo).

Enterprise Java Development on a Budget is an annotated roadmap covering every major aspect of Open Source enterprise Java development on a budget. This book allows a programmer or programming team to develop complex applications for enterprises using as little money as possible. Open Source has had a profound effect on the Java Community. Many Java Open Source projects have even become de-facto standards. The principal purpose of this book is to guide the reader through the development of a real enterprise Java application(s) using nothing but Open Source Java Tools, Projects and Frameworks. Each chapter will deal with an aspect of the design and development of the application as they relate to a specific tool or framework being used. In areas of the application where there may be implementation choices in terms of which Open Source project to use, we will show one more possible paths and explain why, in the context of the application we chose one project/tool versus competing/similar ones. This book is intended to define the role of Open Source on the Java Community. It will provide information on how, when and why to use Open Source. Projects/Products making an impact. The catalog provides information and examples necessary for managers, developers and architects to make decisions on whether to use or evaluate specific projects.
