Version 2.0 of the .NET Framework will offer powerful
enhancements to ADO.NET that will give application and service
developers unprecedented control over their data. In A First Look at ADO.NET and System.Xml v. 2.0,
Microsoft’s lead program manager on XML technologies joins with two
leading .NET and XML experts to present a comprehensive preview of
tomorrow’s ADO.NET and System.Xml classes.
Drawing
on the first .NET Framework 2.0 Technology Preview Release, the authors
introduce powerful new techniques for simplifying development,
enhancing flexibility, and leveraging .NET’s new support for emerging
XML standards. They also preview important new synergies between .NET
Framework 2.0, XML, and the next version of SQL Server (code-named
“Yukon”).
This book’s detailed coverage includes:
- Clear explanations of Microsoft’s data-access intentions and directions–so you’ll be ready when .NET 2.0 arrives
- A brief overview of ObjectSpaces–the exciting new technology for using objects that represent and hold their own data
- Major improvements in bulk loading, batch execution, and paging
- Support for truly asynchronous connection and command operations
- In-process server-side cursors for programmatic data processing within stored procedures
- XML class improvements that enhance standards support, promote integration, and maximize performance
- Beyond SQLXML 3.0: leveraging XQuery and XML Views in distributed query processing
- Better support for storing XML data and integrating relational and XML data management
- “Yukon’s” new XML data type: using SQL Server as an XML document store

As a system administrator or security professionals, you probably find yourself inundated each day with a deluge of log files from seemingly countless devices, servers, and applications on your network ranging from Windows Server to Snort to your PIX firewall and everything in between. At times, the task of “seeing the forest through the trees” to extract useful, repeatable information from these logs may seem almost impossible. This unique book will show you how to use a combination of open source software such as Tcpdstats, and Snort perfmonitor to create succinct, meaningful reports that give you the big picture of your network’s overall health and well being. So, if you need to analyze and prioritize everything from how much of your bandwidth is devoted to browsing ESPN.com, to the most targeted machines in your IDS logs, this is the book for you. This book teaches IT professionals how to analyze, manage, and automate their security log files to generate useful, repeatable information that can be use to make their networks more efficient and secure using primarily open source tools.
Writing Security Tools and Exploits is the foremost authority on vulnerability and security code and will serve as the premier educational reference for security professionals and software developers. The book has over 600 pages of dedicated exploit, vulnerability, and tool code with corresponding instruction. Unlike other security and programming books that dedicate hundreds of pages to architecture and theory based flaws and exploits, this book dives right into deep code analysis. Previously undisclosed security research in combination with superior programming techniques are included in both the Local and Remote Code sections of the book.
