Beginning ASP.NET 1.1 E-Commerce shows programmers how to build E-Commerce websites using ASP.NET technology. In this book, web developers learn from the experts by building a website with the experts. It is a real-world, practical tutorial.

This book follows the E-Commerce site creation process through from design to deployment, demonstrating proven approaches to building E-Commerce sites. The power of this book is this complete approach from the beginning right to the end of the project: it provides a complete programming solution for E-Commerce. The E-Commerce site in the book is built in phases, showing web site developers how to make use of third-party shopping-cart and payment facilities, suitable for a small E-Commerce operation. The book then gradually brings more and more functionality into the E-Commerce site, developing eventually into a complete online shopping and order processing system.

Solid architectural principles are demonstrated throughout, with modular, n-tier design.

This book shows real code that works in the real world, and teaches by example as it builds this E-Commerce site. This new revised edition includes updates to use Visual Studio .NET 2003, .NET 1.1, and some new material on supporting 'customers who bought this also bought'-style cross-sell and up-sell.

ASP.NET is a great web development technology for putting small-to-medium businesses onto the web. Its object-oriented architecture and solid database layer (ADO.NET) make it more robust and suited to E-Commerce than simple scripting and tag-based solutions like PHP and ColdFusion, but its ease of use and tools support make it much faster to develop with than Java. Using ASP.NET you can easily build scalable, well-structured, extensible websites that you can support a business on.

This text is aimed at demonstrating the easiest path to put a business on the web using ASP.NET. The phased-approach gets the reader up and running with a working but simple E-Commerce store quickly, but also allows the site design to be flexible and grow over time to a more advanced E-Commerce solution. Different readers can stop along this journey at whatever point they need, if the website that is built suits their needs at that point.

Critically acclaimed text for computer performance analysis--now in its second edition
The Second Edition of this now-classic text provides a current and thorough treatment of queueing systems, queueing networks, continuous and discrete-time Markov chains, and simulation. Thoroughly updated with new content, as well as new problems and worked examples, the text offers readers both the theory and practical guidance needed to conduct performance and reliability evaluations of computer, communication, and manufacturing systems.
Starting with basic probability theory, the text sets the foundation for the more complicated topics of queueing networks and Markov chains, using applications and examples to illustrate key points. Designed to engage the reader and build practical performance analysis skills, the text features a wealth of problems that mirror actual industry challenges.
New features of the Second Edition include:
* Chapter examining simulation methods and applications
* Performance analysis applications for wireless, Internet, J2EE, and Kanban systems
* Latest material on non-Markovian and fluid stochastic Petri nets, as well as solution techniques for Markov regenerative processes
* Updated discussions of new and popular performance analysis tools, including ns-2 and OPNET
* New and current real-world examples, including DiffServ routers in the Internet and cellular mobile networks
With the rapidly growing complexity of computer and communication systems, the need for this text, which expertly mixes theory and practice, is tremendous. Graduate and advanced undergraduate students in computer science will find the extensive use of examples and problems to be vital in mastering both the basics and the fine points of the field, while industry professionals will find the text essential for developing systems that comply with industry standards and regulations.

Additionally, a solution manual and an FTP site with links to author-provided data for the book are available for deeper study.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 27th International Conference on Applications and Theory of Petri Nets and Other Models of Concurrency, ICATPN 2006, held in Turku, Finland in June 2006. The book presents 16 revised full papers and 6 revised tool papers together with 4 invited papers. All current issues on research and development in the area of Petri nets and modeling of concurrent systems are addressed.

Performance is a cornerstone of every software product. Whether you’re developing for the enterprise or a single mobile device, execution speed is always a factor—yet many applications still suffer from slow loading times and lags. Fortunately, you don’t need to pay expensive consultation fees, since most of these issues stem from the same few coding problems that developers worldwide repeat over and over again.
Pro .NET 4 Performance is about demystifying .NET coding performance. It’s not a complex tuning guide, nor will it leave you dazed by a deep exploration of the CLR. What it will do is lay out simple, robust methods through which you can profile your application and quickly discover the 20% of coding errors that are leading to 80% of your performance problems.
Pro .NET 4 Performance arms developers with the practical tools and understanding to know precisely where to look for performance issues, how to correct them and how to assess the benefits that the changes have brought. Throughout the book, all explanations are supported with detailed case studies that assess a carefully constructed sample application. This application, based upon a piece of real industrial software, has been specifically constructed to highlight the most common application performance issues in the most realistic way possible.
By setting up a profiler session, diagnosing the errors, reporting, analyzing, and finally correcting them, you’ll be confident and familiar enough with these concepts to apply them to your own applications.

• That the vast majority of software performance issues stem from the same few recurring development mistakes
• To set up a profiler, diagnose errors, report, analyze and correct code
• To evaluate the performance gains brought about by your changes
• Walk through a working case study, based on a piece of real software, to see the book's concepts in action in as realistic a context as possible
• How to take the book's ideas and apply them to your own applications

This book is for developers with an understanding of .NET and C#. You don't need to be an expert in either, but this book assumes that you are confident working with them.

An up-to-date and comprehensive introductory ASP.NET book, Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 in C#: From Novice to Professional guides you through Microsoft’s latest technology for building dynamic websites. This book will enable you to build dynamic web pages on the fly, and it assumes only the most basic knowledge of C#.

Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 in C# From Novice to Professional provides exhaustive coverage of ASP.NET, guiding you from your first steps right up to the most advanced techniques, such as querying databases from within a web page and performance-tuning your site. You’ll find tips for "best practices" and comprehensive discussions of key database and XML principles you need to know in order to be effective with ASP.NET. The book also emphasizes the invaluable coding techniques of object orientation and code behind, which will start you off on the track to build real-world websites right from the beginning — rather than just faking it with simplified coding practices.

By the time you’ve finished the book, you will have mastered the core techniques and have all the knowledge you need to begin work as a professional ASP.NET developer.

This book presents revised versions of tutorial lectures given at the IEEE/CS Symposium on modeling, analysis, and simulation of computer and telecommunication systems held in Orlando, FL, USA in October 2003. The lectures are grouped into three parts on performance and QoS of modern wired and wireless networks, current advances in performance modeling and simulation, and other specific applications of these methodologies. This tutorial book is targeted to both practitioners and researchers. The practitioner will benefit from numerous pointers to performance and QoS issues; the pedagogical style and plenty of references will be of great use in solving practical problems. The researcher and advanced student are offered a representative set of topics not only for their research value but also for their novelty and use in identifying areas of active research.
