Net Wireless Programming

Microsoft's .NET strategy embraces a vision for integrating diverse elements of computing technology and data services. The wireless Internet and mobile devices are core components of that strategy. Visual Studio .NET includes a powerful set of toolsthe Mobile Internet Toolkitfor developing websites and applications that can be accessed from all kinds of mobile devices .NET Wireless Programming provides the technical details you need to master to develop end-to-end wireless solutions based on .NET technology. You'll learn to take advantage of the Mobile Internet Toolkit's automated deployment capabilities, which enable a single site or application to work with nearly any mobile device. Freed from the task of writing code to accommodate various devices, you'll be able to apply other skills to build a more powerful application: Work with styles and templates. Create custom controls. Read from and write to databases. And use Microsoft's Web Services in support of a distributed architecture. Five case studies, including a mobile intranet, a contacts database, and an online game, illustrate solutions to real problems and techniques for maximizing application flexibility. A set of appendices provide detailed information on the WML language and the Toolkit's classes. This book presents its many code examples in Visual Basic .NET, but the greater emphasis is on Visual Studio .NET and the flexibility it gives developers in choosing the language they want to use.

For Wireless Internet/Web courses and advanced Internet/Web Programming courses focusing on the wireless internet found in departments of Computer Science, CIS, MIS, IT, Business, Engineering, and Continuing Education. While the rapid expansion of wireless technologies such as cell phones and palm pilots offers many new opportunities for businesses and programmers, it also presents numerous challenges related to issues such as security and standardization. Wireless Internet & Mobile Business How to Program offers a thorough treatment of both the management and technical aspects of this growing area, including coverage of current practices and future trends. The first half of the groundbreaking text explores the business issues surrounding wireless and mobile businesses, beginning with the decision to utilize specific technologies and the application of business principles to wireless devices. Wireless Internet & Mobile Business How to Program then discusses location-based services, a topic that will be revisited throughout the book since so much of wireless and mobile business depends on knowing the specific location of the customer. This portion of the book also addresses payment, security, legal and social issues, international wireless communications and more. The book then turns to programming for the wireless Internet and for mobile businesses, using the consistent and applied pedagogy that has garnered acclaim from both instructors and students for the Deitels'How to Program series. (Freely available online simulators of cellular phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs) make it possible for students to learn to program these devices without needing to own them.)

This book provides a solid overview of mobile phone programming for readers in both academia and industry. Coverage includes all commercial realizations of the Symbian, Windows Mobile and Linux platforms. The text introduces each programming language (JAVA, Python, C/C++) and offers a set of development environments "step by step," to help familiarize developers with limitations, pitfalls, and challenges.

Explains how to design and code great applications for Palm-compatible devices using VB, one of the world's most popular programming languages

The author Sam Tregar tells programmers how best to use and contribute modules to the Open Source repository known as CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network).

Professional graphics designers will welcome this practical guide to Acrobat 5 because it tells why and when to use processes, as well as how. Includes projects, tutorials and demonstrations.

With over 250,000 sold, Harvey and Paul Deitel'sC++ How to Programis the world's best-selling introduction to C++ programming. Now, this classic has been thoroughly updated! The Deitels' groundbreaking How to Program series offers unparalleled breadth and depth of programming concepts and intermediate-level topics for further study. The books in this series feature hundreds of complete, working programs with thousands of lines of code.Deitels'C++ How to Programis the most comprehensive, practical introduction to C++ ever published-with hundreds of hands-on exercises, roughly 250 complete programs written and documented for easy learning, and exceptional insight into good programming practices, maximizing performance, avoiding errors, debugging, and testing. The updated Fifth Edition now includes a new early classes pedagogy-classes and objects are introduced in Chapter 3 and used throughout the book as appropriate. The new edition uses string and vector classes to make earlier examples more object-oriented. Large chapters are broken down into smaller, more manageable pieces. A new OOD/UML ATM case study replaces the elevator case study of previous editions, and UML in the OOD/UML case study and elsewhere in the book has been upgraded to UML 2. The Fifth Edition features new mini case studies (e.g., GradeBook and Time classes). An employee hierarchy replaces Point/Circle/Cylinder to introduce inheritance and polymorphism. Additional enhancements include tuned treatment of exception handling, new "Using the Debugger" material and a new "Before You Begin" section to help readers get set up properly. Also included are separate chapters on recursion and searching/sorting. The Fifth Edition retains every key concept and technique ANSI C++ developers need to master: control statements, functions, arrays, pointers and strings, classes and data abstraction, operator overloading, inheritance, virtual functions, polymorphism, I/O, templates, exception handling, file processing, data structures, and more. It also includes a detailed introduction to Standard Template Library (STL) containers, container adapters, algorithms, and iterators. The accompanying CD-ROM includes all the source code from the book.A valuable reference for programmers and anyone interested in learning the C++ programming language and object-oriented development in C++.

This book presents a theoretical as well as practical approach to the Dynamic Web Development. It is intended to provide the readers not only with a good understanding of all the components of ASP programming, but also with a real sense of how they actually fit together to make a web application. The simple yet strong, easy yet effective, compact yet complete descriptions of every topic will surely help students to build confidence and interest towards the web programming. The book gives a large number of ready to code examples in a simplest language which helps students to digest well.
