The theory of the processes of concurrent systems is studied using partiallyordered sets. The study is based on Petri net theory. General properties of posets and their relations with properties of concurrent systems are examined.

"In the last 3 years, I have tried to learn C# for web programming using books from a number of different publishers, but have always lost my motivation. The books were just not geared toward someone trying to learn on their own. Then, I checked out your ASP.NET/C# book from our corporate library. What a fantastic book! It's in such high demand at work that I bought my own copy." (A developer's comment on the 2.0 edition of Murach s ASP.NET)

Already know how to code C# 2008 desktop applications? Then, you're ready to master web programming with the 3.5 edition of this best-selling ASP.NET book from Murach Books.

It covers the 3.5 features that provide new functionality...like the ListView and DataPager data controls, LINQ data sources, new CSS-related tools, and ASP.NET AJAX...while it teaches you how to develop web applications from scratch. And it does that using all the same features that made the 2.0 edition such a favorite among professional developers:

#1. It's concise, practical, and crystal-clear in telling you what you need to know

#2. It shows you how to get the most from Visual Studio 2008 as you code, test, debug, and deploy ASP.NET web applications

#3. It gives you a 7-chapter section on database programming...2 more chapters than in the previous edition because .NET continues to deliver new, powerful tools for this critical component of business applications

#4. It gives you solid training in the essential skills that you'll use every day, including data validation...state management...improving the user experience with easy site navigation and a standard look and feel...boosting user response time with ASP.NET AJAX...handling security...developing reusable controls...working with database data using SQL, object, and LINQ data sources...and more

#5. It gives you real-world application examples that guide you in applying what you're learning as you develop your own websites (you can download the applications for free from the Murach website)

#6. Its paired pages presentation makes for fast reading, instant reinforcement, and time-saving reference (to see how the paired pages work, you can download free chapters from the Murach website)

So if you need to learn ASP.NET 3.5 web programming, we hope you'll try this book first. We're convinced that it will deliver the training you need better and faster than any other book.

This certification exam measures your ability to develop and implement XML Web Services and server components using Visual C# and the Microsoft .NET Framework. This exam counts as a core credit toward the new MCAD (Microsoft Certified Application Developer) certification as well as a core credit toward the new MCSD .NET track. This book is not intended to teach new material. Instead it assumes that you have a solid foundation of knowledge but can use a refresher on important concepts as well as a guide to exam topics and objectives. This book focuses exactly on what you need to pass the exam - it features test-taking strategies, time-saving study tips, and a special Cram Sheet that includes tips, acronyms, and memory joggers not available anywhere else. The series is supported online at several Web sites: examcram.com, informit.com, and cramsession.com.

The accompanying CD features PrepLogic™ Practice Tests, Preview Edition. This product includes one complete PrepLogic Practice Test with approximately the same number of questions found on the actual vendor exam. Each question contains full, detailed explanations of the correct and incorrect answers. The engine offers two study modes, Practice Test and Flash Review, full exam customization, and a detailed score report.

Stan Lippman is one of the best-selling authors on C++ and has long been one of the major contributors to its growth and standardization. He is the architect C++/CLI, Microsoft's latest extension to C++. Under his guidance, experienced C++ developer and trainer – and Visual C++ MVP -- Marcus Heege, explains how the core C++/CLI language elements work and, just as important, how Microsoft intends them to be used.

Though written by experts, and full of sound, expert insight and advice, this book can be read profitably by any C++ programmer. Short code examples concisely illustrate concepts, and more elaborate examples show how C++/CLI is best used. Even programmers new to C++/CLI, but planning to migrate to it from another language, can use this book to understand core language elements crucial to planning and migrating effectively.

The author placed itself from the point of view of the developer which must be quickly productive and anticipate changes without having to reinvent the wheel. More than half the book is dedicated to the 2.0 version of .NET and covers: The .NET platform, The C#2 language and The .NET Framework. With several reminders to fundamental, it is the perfect book for the student, the beginner or even the seasoned developer.

ADO.NET is Microsoft's latest data access technology, but is far more than just an ADO upgrade. As an integral part of the .NET Framework, ADO.NET provides an extensive set of .NET classes that facilitate access to data within a variety of sources. Further, the product enables sophisticated data manipulation and sorting. ADO.NET also forms an important framework for communication between applications.

This book offers you a comprehensive explanation for using ADO.NET, and provides numerous practical code examples and extensive technical information. Whether you're developing web applications using ASP.NET, Windows Forms applications, or XML Web Services, this book will teach you how to maximize .NET's data access technology. Specific topics include: ADO.NET data architecture; data readers, adapters, and DataSets; safer development with XML Schemas; data relationships; ADO.NET's built-in support, and performance optimization. By the end of the book, you will have mastered a solution-oriented approach to ADO.NET.

Unit testing, done right, can mean the difference between a failed project and a successful one, between a maintainable code base and a code base that no one dares touch, and between getting home at 2 AM or getting home in time for dinner, even before a release deadline.

The Art of Unit Testing builds on top of what's already been written about this important topic. It guides you step by step from simple tests to tests that are maintainable, readable, and trustworthy. It covers advanced subjects like mocks, stubs, and frameworks such as Typemock Isolator and Rhino Mocks. And you'll learn about advanced test patterns and organization, working with legacy code and even untestable code. The book discusses tools you need when testing databases and other technologies. It's written for .NET developers but others will also benefit from this book.

Table of Contents:

1. The basics of unit testing
2. A first unit test
3. Using stubs to break dependencies
4. Interaction testing using mock objects
5. Isolation (mock object) frameworks
6. Test hierarchies and organization
7. The pillars of good tests
8. Integrating unit testing into the organization
9. Working with legacy code

Harness the power of .NET Remoting to build complex and secure distributed applications

Microsoft’s .NET Remoting takes building distributed applications to the next level. This innovative book, written by Microsoft insider David Conger, gets you up and running with .NET Remoting – fast. Starting with the basics of .NET technologies and tools as well as a simple client/server program, you’ll learn how to exchange data across networks and communicate with remote objects and other distributed systems. You’ll also learn how to securely deploy remote objects and client programs on networks, and then across the Internet as Web services. Finally, Conger demonstrates how you can extend and enhance the capabilities of the .NET Remoting system in order to use it to its full potential.

Using a comprehensible step-by-step approach and numerous C# code examples, this book will show you how to use .NET Remoting to:

• Build multi-tiered applications that can interoperate with components written in different languages
• Use remote objects as Web services to provide secure access to corporate applications
• Manage the "lifetime" of remote objects by controlling and maintaining their state
• Add custom security measures to distributed applications
• Execute asynchronous calls across networks

The companion Web site contains all the source code and executables from the book.
