Ready To Run Visual Basicalgorithms

For programmers that lack the advanced mathematical background to bring algorithms to their work, this text is a straightforward working introduction to Visual Basic's algorithms. It details algorithms and their implementations for dozens of common programming tasks, including memory allocation, sorting, searching, hashing, trees, networking, and more.

All the Visual Basic algorithms you'll ever need and how to use them This book/CD package arms you with a library of powerful algorithms completely implemented in Visual Basic source code. Just as importantly, it shows you how, when, and where to use them . . . or not to use them. It covers classic VB algorithms as well as the latest VB object-oriented techniques for handling just about any design requirement you'll encounter, such as managing data structures, sorting, searching, hashing, networking, and other important program functions. In plain English, and with the help of sample code and scads of working examples, VB expert Rod Stephens explains how algorithms work and: * Describes techniques for selecting the best ones for your projects * Tutors you in methods for analyzing how they will perform in your programs * Acquaints you with programming techniques for solving problems as they arise * Supplies algorithms for most programming situations * Covers new object-oriented VB algorithms-how they work and how to use them * Introduces new concepts and techniques for programming in multiple versions of VB. The CD-ROM supplies you with: * Source code for all the algorithms described * Test programs to try them out * Examples and tests to help you gauge and fine-tune your skills.

An accessible and step-by-step approach to using VB.NET and XML enterprise application development XML is a tool for interacting with, describing, and transporting data between machines across networks and across the Internet-perfectly suited for Microsoft's .NET plan to fully integrate the Internet into distributed computing. By using real-world and fully-functional examples, this book quickly brings Visual Basic programmers and developers up to speed on XML for enterprise application development. The authors include an overview of XML and how it works with VB.NET, then explain how to use it to manipulate data in distributed environments. Companion Web site at www.vb-helper.com features the complete working code for all the examples built in the book. Microsoft Technologies .NET Platform: The next big overhaul to Microsoft's technologies that will bring enterprise distributed computing to the next level by fully integrating the Internet into the development platform. This will allow interaction between any machine, on any platform, and on any device. Visual Basic.NET: The update to this popular visual programming language will offer greater Web functionality, more sophisticated object-oriented language features, links to Microsoft's new common runtime, and a new interface. ASP.NET: A programming framework (formerly known as Active Server Pages) for building powerful Web-based enterprise applications; can be programmed using VB.NET or C#. C#: Microsoft's new truly object-oriented programming language that builds on the strengths of C++ and the ease of Visual Basic; promises to give Sun's Java a run for its money.

ADO.NET refers to a set of classes that ship with Visual Studio .NET that allow developers to access data typically stored in relational databases. The purpose of this book is to explain the important features of ADO.NET to corporate developers who use VS .NET. Dan Fox also provides architectural guidance and best practices for using ADO.NET in corporate applications. Reference Tables show how members of ADO.NET classes fit into the bigger picture by denoting why or where the method or property is used. This book is filled with code snippets and code listings in both VB .NET and VC# .NET, sidebars, and mini case studies that briefly explore peripheral issues, tips, cautions, and additional resources.

All the algorithms you'll ever need for use in your Delphi programs Ready-to-Run Delphi 3.0 Algorithms This book/CD package arms you with a library of powerful algorithms completely implemented in Delphi source code. Just as importantly, it shows you when, where, and how to use them, and when you shouldn't use them. You'll find out how to handle just about any design requirement you'll encounter, such as managing data structures, sorting, searching, hashing, networking, and other important program functions. In plain English, and with the help of sample code and numerous working examples, programming guru Rod Stephens brings you up to speed on algorithm fundamentals, and, with the help of ready-to-run programs that you can use to try out the algorithms, he shows you how to: * Compare the strengths and weaknesses of different algorithms to select the best one for a particular situation * Analyze algorithms both theoretically and in real-world situations * Anticipate performance problems before they become disasters * Customize algorithms to suit your particular needs * Effectively use both classical algorithms and the latest object-oriented techniques * Identify performance bottlenecks where changes can have the greatest impact on speed The CD-ROM supplies you with: * Delphi source code for all the algorithms described in the book * Test programs to try them out * A library of important algorithms you can use immediately without wasting valuable programming time Visit the author's comprehensive Delphi site at :www.delphi-helper.com
