This book concentrates on the use of ASP.NET 1.1 and Visual Studio 2003 to build applications for Internet or intranet use, and looks at the possibilities that rich clients bring to both application design and a better user experience. In particular, the authors provide guidance through a range of ideas on how data can be used to drive Web applications, and how that data can be most effectively utilized at each level of the design. They take a practical approach when showing you to build task-specific components, Web pages and Web applications based on a server running ASP.NET. The book itself focuses on n-tier architecture design and the way it can be coded, using SQL Server as a data source and simple Web server hardware.

This book aims to examine the possibilities for developing user interfaces that are driven by ASP. NET. It attempts to discuss and explore a range of techniques and approaches predominantly for creating Web sites and Web pages. This edition has been completely updated for ASP . NET 1. 1 and Visual Studio 2003. Homer shows readers how to build a site that allows the user to choose, customize and purchase a new car or truck from the world-famous Xrox Car Company. To do so, he focuses on the steps of requirements-analysis and design (though not in extreme detail), followed by planning and mapping out the site. Once the basic design in its place, Pro ASP. NET Web Forms Techniques, Second Edition will take a look at the development of the various resources that make up the complete site. It won't concentrate on the backend data processing tasks in any more detail than needed in order to get the site running. This book concentrates on the user interfaces, and using fairly simple data access techniques. You won't see detailed discussions of the workings of all of the . NET data access classes, or the long diatribes on catching and reporting concurrency errors. ASP. N applications, and attractive and exciting Web pages. The server-based post-back architecture, combined with the comprehensive array of server controls that are provided as part of the . NET Framework, allow developers to quickly build browser-based interfaces for Web sites and Web applications - using much the same event-driven approach as in traditional executable programs developed in languages like Visual Basic, Delphi and C++.

Get ready to plunge into the complete world of JMX architecture-including the release of JMX Remoting 1.2! Pro JMX: Java Management Extensions features cutting-edge examples of JMX integration with distributed applications, including sequence diagrams and real-world sample code. Author Jeff Hanson takes a top-down approach, starting from the highest level of detail and drilling down. In the process, he presents the JMX architecture as a pluggable, services-oriented framework, and discusses how JMX allows you to dynamically add, remove, and modify services at runtime. Hanson also provides in-depth discussions of JMX notifications, event models, and messages. The book finishes up with real-world examples of JMX in use, and features discussions of how JMX is integrated with different management systems and how JMX is used to expose these systems to the J2EE environment.

Flash MX 2004 and Flash MX Professional 2004 introduce a new extensibility architecture. This is not an upgrade to an existing feature, but a brand new concept that nobody using an earlier version of Flash has seen or used before. With the extensibility tools, which include behaviors, custom-made tools and commands, the JavaScript API (or JSFL), and the XML-to-UI API, you can literally extend Flash to do things it cannot do out of the box. Things such as adding new custom commands to the menu and customizing the tool bar, adding brand new, custom created tools. The commands could be as simple as drawing a commonly used shape on the stage, or as complex as creating an entire new Flash movie from scratch. Tools take into account mouse actions and property inspector parameters. This allows you for custom shapes much as are seen in Microsoft Office, for example, stars, callouts, arrows, etc. These new features will not only allow users to share code and effects more easily within the community or a production environment, but will also allow developers to package up and reuse more within Flash than was ever possible before, increasing productivity and decreasing production times. Flash MX 2004, but the possibilities of what one could do with these are staggering. Virtually anything you can do in the authoring environment can now be written into a command or behavior.
