XSLT Basics
|
 A Sample Chapter from "Professional XSL". This chapter will provide you with enough information to start building useful XSLT stylesheets. I will introduce a number of the elements that make up the language, providing examples of their use. We will also look at a few of the functions built into the language and see how XSLT manages namespaces, whitespace and some other important issues.

Object Syntax Introduction
|
 A Sample Chapter 5 from "Professional VB.NET 2nd Edition". Visual Basic has had powerful object-oriented capabilities since the introduction of version 4.0. VB.NET carries that tradition forward. VB.NET simplifies some of the syntax and greatly enhances these capabilities, and now supports the four major defining concepts required for a language to be fully object-oriented. In this chapter we'll explore the creation and use of classes and objects in VB.NET.

A Sample Chapter from C# Programmers Reference
|
 The type is the basic building block of any C# program. Every piece of data in a C# program has a strongly-defined type (there is no variant type or direct equivalent). This is rue not just of the primitive types such as bytes and integers, but also of objects, structs, and enumerations. A variable's type identifies its nature, both to the developer, and to the compiler and runtime. The C# language and .NET Framework define an efficient system for categorizing, accessing, and manipulating different types.

Maintaining the Site

 A Sample Chapter from ASP.NET Website Programming. In this chapter we'll explain why it's useful to have an online site management system, and we'll design and build one that allows us to easily maintain the site's files and directories. Any real website is generally made up of a lot of pages, images, XML/XSL files, stylesheets, databases, and other types of document.

A Fast-Track Guide to ASP.NET
|
 A Sample Chapter from Professional ASP.NET. Microsoft's .NET technology has attracted a great deal of press since Beta 1 was first released to the world. Since then, mailing lists, newsgroups, and web sites have sprung up containing a mixture of code samples, applications, and articles of various forms. Even if you're not a programmer using existing ASP technology, it's a good bet that you've at least heard of .NET, even if you aren't quite sure what it involves.
