Здесь рассматриваются основополагающие вопросы, необходимые для начала работы на С#. В книге дается обзор С# и .NET Framework, рассказывается, что представляют собой эти технологии, какие причины побуждают ими пользоваться и каким образом эти технологии соотносятся между собой. Начнем мы с самого общего рассмотрения .NET Framework. Это новая технология, и она включает множество понятий, которые на первый взгляд кажутся хитроумными (так как .NET Framework использует принципиально новый подход к разработке приложений). Отсюда следует, что при обсуждении этой темы вам за короткий промежуток времени придется столкнуться с большим количеством новых понятий. Однако это неизбежно, поскольку знание основ крайне важно для понимания программирования на С#. В книге многие из этих тем будут рассмотрены повторно и более детально. Далее приводится упрощенное описание собственно языка С#; среди прочего будут рассмотрены его корни и черты сходства с C++. Наконец, вы познакомитесь с основным инструментом, который будет использоваться на протяжении всей книги,— Visual Studio.NET (VS).

Nowadays, not only tackling the phenomena of physics, but also many issues in technology, engineering and production, oftentimes require complicated mathematical processing. Recently, a CEO of an industrial plant revealed that, through application of a boundary value problem of elastic stress, he was able to save 30 percent in material. It seems that close cooperation of sci- ence with technology and production is more relevant today than ever. Many processes of production and technology can be simulated through differential equations. Knowledge of these mathematical procedures and their applica- tions is therefore not only essential in theory for the student, but also vital for the practitioner, the engineer, physicist or technologist.

This incisive, witty book looks at some of the most influential marketing and business philosophies in technology and, through hindsight, provides an educational and vastly entertaining examination of why they didn't work.

For many Westerners, something about China is so intense and exciting that it’s a social glue among those who’ve spent some time there. We met through a mutual acquaintance who knew we had backgrounds in China. Over lunch, we swapped stories (and laughs) about living and doing business in China — how challenging the market is, how strong a role government plays in business there, how overwhelming the country can feel, and how everything seems to take so much longer to get done. We both admitted that a solid howto guide could’ve saved us a good deal of time hard spent climbing the learning curve. And so Doing Business in China For Dummies was born.

The corporate market is now embracing free, "open source" software like never before, as evidenced by the recent success of the technologies underlying LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP). Each is the result of a publicly collaborative process among numerous developers who volunteer their time and energy to create better software. The truth is, however, that the overwhelming majority of free software projects fail. To help you beat the odds, O'Reilly has put together Producing Open Source Software, a guide that recommends tried and true steps to help free software developers work together toward a common goal. Not just for developers who are considering starting their own free software project, this book will also help those who want to participate in the process at any level. The book tackles this very complex topic by distilling it down into easily understandable parts. Starting with the basics of project management, it details specific tools used in free software projects, including version control, IRC, bug tracking, and Wikis. Author Karl Fogel, known for his work on CVS and Subversion, offers practical advice on how to set up and use a range of tools in combination with open mailing lists and archives. He also provides several chapters on the essentials of recruiting and motivating developers, as well as how to gain much-needed publicity for your project. While managing a team of enthusiastic developers -- most of whom you've never even met -- can be challenging, it can also be fun. Producing Open Source Software takes this into account, too, as it speaks of the sheer pleasure to be had from working with a motivated team of free software developers.

With compelling insights and illuminating examples, the author reveals how Web sites, software applications, and mobile devices can be used to change people’s attitudes and behavior.
