The Microsoft .NET Framework is exactly what its name implies: A general system onto which a lot of application-specific technologies are stuck. Essential ASP.NET With Examples in C# assumes you know something about the .NET way of doing things, and want to know more about how you can use its ASP.NET facet to implement robust and stylish Web applications. Fritz Onion, in a manner typical of this series, introduces key ASP.NET concepts logically, and with lots of code listings that make it clear how the concepts should be translated into reality. The truth be told, Onion excels at combining conceptual information with practical examples. This is unusual among writers of technical books, who tend to be good at (at best) (more…)

Using the techniques and reusable code in this book, embedded systems developers can design control systems without the advanced calculus skills that are typically required. Mathematical derivations are avoided, making the methods accessible to developers with no background in control system engineering. Thorough simulation and testing techniques are recommended to compensate for the lack of mathematical rigor in this method, and these procedures are described here in a step-by-step format. For the more advanced algorithms, readers are shown how to apply the best available software tools for control system design: MATLAB and its toolboxes. The companion CDROM includes complete, reusable C and C++ source code and examples that can be quickly adapted to specific control problems. (more…)

Book Description
C# is a modern, object-oriented language that enables programmers to quickly build a wide range of applications for the next-generation Microsoft .NET platform. Because of its elegant design, which combines the raw power of C++ with the simplicity of Visual Basic, C# is a great choice for architecting a wide range of components-from high-level business objects to system-level applications. Get a head start on developing in C# with this first printed look at the complete C# language specification. This MSDN guide includes the essential features and basic concepts of the C# language, plus in-depth analysis of the lexical structure of the language. It also provides details about types, variables, conversions, expressions, statements, (more…)

The ultimate example of the generalist approach is of course the design and implementation of programming languages themselves. As problem solving tools go, it is hard to get more general than a programming language like C#. When designing new programming languages (or new versions of old programming languages), we think about common problems that are faced every day by real developers and figure out how to create a language which solves them in a general, aesthetically pleasing, and powerful way that is broadly applicable.
