    Description:  Limitations in today's software packages for financial modeling system development can threaten the viability of any system--not to mention the firm using that system. Modeling Financial Markets is the first book to take financial professionals beyond those limitations to introduce safer, more sophisticated modeling methods. It contains dozens of techniques for financial modeling in code that minimize or avoid current software deficiencies, and addresses the crucial crossover stage in which prototypes are converted to fully coded models.

    Description:  ASP.NET 3.5 brings the power of Visual Studio 2008 along with the multitude of language improvements in C# 2008 and Visual Basic 2008 as well as powerful new technology called LINQ, together with the ASP.NET 2.0 Framework you already know and love. Packed with valuable coverage of ASP.NET 3.5 SP1, this essential resource offers both C# and VB examples throughout the book, and shares new and updated content on the ADO.NET Entity Framework, ADO.NET Dynamic Data, and ADO.NET Data Services.
    While ASP.NET 3.5 boasts server controls like the ListView and the incredibly flexible GridView, it also includes advancements in AJAX technology combined with JavaScript debugging features in Visual Studio 2008. With this book, a stellar author team covers the new controls in the AJAX toolbox, the back button history, and script combining, and they also examine the new capabilities of WCF including changes to DataContractSerializer.

    What you will learn from this book
    The concepts underlying the server control and its pivotal role in ASP.NET development
    How to create templated ASP.NET pages using the master page feature
    How to work with data from enterprise databases including SQL Server
    Ways to debug, package, and deploy ASP.NET applications, monitor their health and performance, and handle errors
    How to retrieve, update, and delete data quickly and logically using LINQ with side-by-side examples comparing LINQ to existing techniques
    Ways to localize your web site in multiple languages for a world-wide audience
    Methods for adding AJAX capabilities to your ASP.NET applications
    The many benefits of the new data access additions

    Description:  This book is intended for developers who are already familiar with and have a solid understanding of ASP.NET 1.1 and ASP.NET 2.0 security concepts, especially in the areas of forms authentication, page security, and website authorization. It assumes that you have a good understanding of the general functionality of Membership and Role Manager. It is also assumes that you have some familiarity working with ASP.NET AJAX 3.5. The book aims to “peel back the covers” of various ASP.NET security features so you can gain a deeper understanding of the security options available to you. Explaining the new IIS 7.0 and its Integrated mode of execution is also included in the book.
    This book was written using the .NET 3.5 Framework along with the .NET Framework SPI on both Windows Sever 2008 and Windows Vista. The sample code in the book has been verified to work with .NET 3.5 Framework and .NET 3.5 Framework SPI on Windows Vista. To run all of the samples in the book you will need the following:

    Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista
    Internet Information Services 7.0 (IIS 7.0)
    Visual Studio 2008 RTM
    Either SQL Server 2000 or SQL Server 2005
    A Window’s Sever 2008 domain running at Windows Server 2008 functional level
    This book covers many topics and areas in ASP.NET 2.0 and ASP.NET 3.5. It first introduces Internet Information Services 7.0 (IIS 7.0). It goes on to explain in detail the new IIS 7.0 Integrated mode of execution. Next, detailed coverage of how security is applied when the ASP.NET application starts up and when a request is processed in the newly introduced integrated request-processing pipeline is discussed. After this, the book branches out and begins to cover security information for features such as trust levels, forms authentication, page security, and session state. This will show you how you can benefit from the IIS 7.0 Integrated mode to make better use of ASP.NET features. You will also gain an understanding of the lesser known security features in ASP.NET 2.0 and ASP.NET 3.5.

    Description:  For a web site to offer its users an experience that improves on that of newspapers or textbooks, it needs a way to change the information it contains dynamically - and that means it needs access to a data source. Through the combination of ASP.NET and ADO.NET, Microsoft provides everything necessary to access, read from, and write to a database, and then allow web users to view and manipulate that data from a web browser. In this book, we'll show you how it's done.

    What does this book cover
    Packed with clear explanations and hands-on examples, Beginning ASP.NET Databases contains everything you'll need on your journey to becoming a confident, successful programmer of data-driven web sites. In particular, we'll look at:
    Connecting to common data sources, including SQL Server and MS Access
    Reading data with data reader and dataset objects
    Creating and deleting records, and editing data
    Displaying data with ASP.NET's web server controls
    Writing and using stored procedures from VB.NET code
    Placing your data access code in reusable class libraries
    The book closes with a real-world case study that consolidates the tutorials throughout the book into a practical result.

    Description:  This book is for anyone who wants to learn how to build rich and interactive web sites that run on the Microsoft platform. With the knowledge you gain from this book, you create a great foundation to build any type of web site, ranging from simple hobby-related web sites to sites you may be creating for commercial purposes.
    Anyone new to web programming should be able to follow along because no prior background in web development is assumed although it helps if you do have a basic understanding of HTML and the web in general. The book starts at the very beginning of web development by showing you how to obtain and install Visual Web Developer. The chapters that follow gradually introduce you to new technologies, building on top of the knowledge gained in the previous chapters.

    Do you have a strong preference for Visual Basic over C# or the other way around? Or do you think both languages are equally cool? Or maybe you haven't made up your mind yet and want to learn both languages? Either way, you'll like this book because all code examples are presented in both languages!
    Even if you have some experience with prior versions of ASP.NET, you may gain a lot from this book. Although many concepts from previous versions are brought forward into ASP.NET 4, you'll discover there's a lot of new stuff to be found in this book, including an introduction to the ADO.NET Entity Framework, the inclusion of jQuery, ASP.NET AJAX, the many changes to the ASP.NET 4 Framework, and much more.
