The new edition of this must-have pocket guide boils down the most vital information from Oracle PL/SQL Programming, the bestseller that many consider "the Bible" for PL/SQL development. This concise booklet summarizes features available in Oracle's powerful new product-- Oracle9i-- and provides essential information on PL/SQL block structure, fundamental language elements, control statements, and use of procedures, functions, packages, triggers, Oracle objects, external procedures, and methods of calling Java classes from PL/SQL.

This is the definitive companion to Microsoft SQL Server 2000. The authors have combined the perspectives of the developer and the user into a readable and comprehensive guide. Ron Soukup led the SQL Server development team for a decade, and he continues to be one of its key architects. Kalen Delaney has been working with the application designers and developers for almost that long. This is their guide to why SQL Server is the way it is, and how it should be used. The guide complements the reference material in SQL Server Books Online.

Striking a careful balance between mathematical rigor and engineering-oriented applications, this textbook aims to maximize the readers' understanding of both the mathematical and engineering aspects of control theory. The bedrock elements of classical control theory are comprehensively covered: the Routh–Hurwitz theorem and applications, Nyquist diagrams, Bode plots, root locus plots, the design of controllers (phase-lag, phase-lead, lag-lead, and PID), and three further advanced topics: non-linear control, modern control and discrete-time control. A Mathematical Introduction to Control Theory will be an invaluable book for junior and senior level university students in engineering, particularly electrical engineering. Students with a good knowledge of algebra and complex variables will also find many interesting applications in this volume.

This comprehensive guide targets both first-time and experienced mobile developers, and examines key mobile topics including developing effective Pocket PC interfaces, working with SQL Server CE databases, moving data to and from devices, and more.

Sams Teach Yourself SQL in 10 Minutes has established itself as the gold standard for introductory SQL books, offering a fast-paced accessible tutorial to the major themes and techniques involved in applying the SQL language.
