Murach's ASP.NET 4 Web Programming with C# 2010 (Murach: Training & Reference)
Price : $54.50 $34.34
Average

|
Editorial Review :
"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 a previous edition of Murach's ASP.NET)
Already know how to code in C# 2010? Then, master web programming with this .NET 4 edition of the ASP.NET book that's a favorite of developers. It teaches beginners how to develop web applications from scratch. And more seasoned professionals use it as a time-saving guide whenever they need the "how-to" details that take forever to find online.
Here's a quick rundown on what developers have always liked best about this book: #1: Complete applications show you how all the pieces interact
The key to mastering ASP.NET 4 is to have plenty of real-world applications that guide you in using the new skills that you're learning...and that help you avoid the problems that you might run into as you build complex web sites. That's why this book gives you complete applications, including the web forms, the aspx code, and the C# code. Download the applications for free from the Murach website, and experiment with them on your own to see how valuable they are. #2: It gives you a 6-chapter section on database programming that's geared to business applications
Database handling is crucial in business programming, yet it's glossed over in just a chapter or two in many books. In contrast, this 6-chapter section teaches you how to use SQL data sources and ASP.NET data controls to develop database applications with little or no C# code. Then, it teaches you how to use object data sources to create 3-layer applications that let you separate the presentation code from the data access code. And each topic is illustrated using examples like maintenance and shopping cart applications...the kind of database applications you'll deal with every day. #3: It teaches you ASP.NET development the way it should be done, using Visual Studio 2010
The 1.x edition of this book was one of the first to teach web development using Visual Studio instead of tools like Notepad. Today, no developer should miss out on the productivity features of Visual Studio 2010. So those features are integrated throughout this book, rather than being relegated to just a chapter or two at the beginning. #4: It teaches you ASP.NET 4 features when they're appropriate, not just convenient
In contrast to some books, the ASP.NET 4 features haven't just been tacked onto the chapters from the previous .NET 3.5 edition. Instead, authors Anne Boehm and Joel Murach have carefully analyzed how the changes affect the way you develop web applications and what you need to learn when. That means this book integrates the new material with the classic ASP.NET features that haven't changed, giving you a cohesive, fluid approach to learning web programming the way it's done today. #5: The distinctive paired-pages format* makes learning...and reference...a breeze
A few years ago, a customer used the term "paired pages" to describe our presentation style, and the name has stuck. It means that this book presents each topic in a two-page spread. The right page gives screen shots, code, syntax, bulleted details--whatever is needed to illustrate and summarize the topic; the left page provides extra explanation and perspective as needed. That makes it easy for developers at any level to skim through material they already know and focus on what's new to them.

Editorial Review :
A web application involves many specialists, but it takes people in web ops to ensure that everything works together throughout an application's lifetime. It's the expertise you need when your start-up gets an unexpected spike in web traffic, or when a new feature causes your mature application to fail. In this collection of essays and interviews, web veterans such as Theo Schlossnagle, Baron Schwartz, and Alistair Croll offer insights into this evolving field. You'll learn stories from the trenches--from builders of some of the biggest sites on the Web--on what's necessary to help a site thrive. - Learn the skills needed in web operations, and why they're gained through experience rather than schooling
- Understand why it's important to gather metrics from both your application and infrastructure
- Consider common approaches to database architectures and the pitfalls that come with increasing scale
- Learn how to handle the human side of outages and degradations
- Find out how one company avoided disaster after a huge traffic deluge
- Discover what went wrong after a problem occurs, and how to prevent it from happening again

Questions & Answers
Question : I have an AAS Degree, how much longer will it take to get a BA?
Obviously other details come into play, but I'm 23, have my AAS-Marketing degree and can transfer into two schools. One, I can get Junior status in any of the majors they offer and the other I can get Junior status in their Marketing major. On top of this, I spent a year and a half at my community college taking general education courses because I originally thought I was going to transfer anyway, but plans changed. I have 30 general education credits, I just don't know if they will all transfer/cancel stuff out.So, all that said, roughly how long do you think I can expect it to take? Two years? Perhaps less? I would plan on taking whatever class I could in the summer too. Usually I wouldn't really care about the time frame, but I'm 23 and I feel kind of worthless/like a loser since a lot of my friends are done getting their BA's and are getting started in their careers. It's either this route, or just hope for the best with my Associates.
Answer:
Two years usually - although some schools exiguous that can accelerate it a bit. Check out:http://cps.regis.edu/academic-programs.phphttp://www.bellevue.edu/ThanksBill

Question : I am about to graduate with a BS. Can I use credits for an AAS?
So, I have spent 5 years at a university only to discover that my dream job only really requires an AAS. I'll be finishing my BS soon, so I am continuing with that, but the AAS will still be helpful to me and help me gain a lot of experience in my field as well as some really great contacts. It seems silly and kind of backwards to be doing my AAS after my BS, but I had no idea what I wanted to do when I came into college. What I want to know is can I use the general education classes from my BS towards the requirements for my AAS? It really doesn't make sense that I would have to basically take the exact same random classes that have nothing to do with my major....AGAIN.Thanks for any help in advance! :)
Answer:
Yes You can. But you will have to spend 2 more years in school, no matter what. Associate in Applied Science is technical. Technical degrees require internships and clinical rotation.

Question : About how many classes is it from an AAS degree to an AA degree?
I have my AAS from Heald College. I want to get my AA from a local city college. I know at Heald it's 8 classes which is 6 months but it's also another few grand. Has anybody went to Heald? I know a lot of people say some credits don't transfer. I'm just wondering if anybody has a general idea of how long it will take. Thanks in advance
Answer:
Ask the admissions office at your local city college.

Question : I have a para cert&a aas degree in leg/sec studies no experience in legal/general office. how do i geta job?
Hello. I have an associates degree in legal secretarial studies. I graduated last year (june 06) I also have a paralegal certificate. I have been searching since I graduated for a legal secretarial position and still no luck. I am working as an accounts payable assistant and obviously, this is not what I want to do. I plan on staying with this company for a little over a year gain general office experience. Am I making the right decision. Is there anything else I can do? I also have another thing. I was working in a law firm for about two months. I found out about the job through a temp agency. I went on the interview and they hired me. Two months after they fired me. I dont want to keep going through this. I need advice. What should I do???? Since graduation, I have been working through agenies, worked in the law firm and now I have this job. Any advice on how I can really get the job I want?
Answer:
Are you going through a temp agency that specializes in finding jobs in the legal field? If not, try that. There are MANY agencies that specialize in finding jobs in the legal field (secretaries, paralegals, attorneys, etc.).Also, join the local bar association as an associate (non-attorney) member. It may cost you some money, but attend all the meetings and you can meet contacts. You can also find out whether anyone is hiring through these meetings and/or newsletter (what county, state are you in?)If you're in California, go to http://www.dailyjournal.com and go to the classifieds section where you can find information about legal recruiters and job openings.Here are a few sites I got from The Daily Journal:http://www.roberthalflegal.com/portal/site/af-ushttp://www.legaloptiongroup.com/http://www.d pijobs.com/http://www.kbajobs.com/http://www.kentdaniels.com/I'm sure there are plenty of temp agencies who specialize in legal staffing jobs that may be able to assist you.The problem with most jobs is that they are at will (unless you work in a government job).

Question : Should I get an AA or AAS in Human Services?
I plan on going to a community college this fall. I do plan at this time to be a social worker when I am out of college, but I do have a question.Would it be more beneficial to get an Associates of Applied Science in Social Work or an Associates of Art in Social Work? Is it possible to to transfer an AAS degree to a 4 year university, even though you don't complete all the general education requirements?I am in Missouri if it helps any.
Answer:
You should go for the AA in social work as you want to complete the general ed. There should be an articulation agreement between your CC and the College. You probably want to meet with your advisor in CC and also talk with the folks in the social work dept. Your goal should be to transfer in as a Junior to the college and not have to take any other lower division courses. DA

Question : Are Heald College general education classes transferable to a community college?
I have finished my general education classes at Heald in California and will be graduating from the MIBC program soon with my AAS. Can I use the the general education credits from Heald to go and get my Associates in Early childhood education at the community college where I had started years ago? I had only needed my general ed to graduate. I had all the ECE classes, in excess of 40 units. I would just like to finish what I had started.
Answer:
In order for you to transfer to a 4 year institution - you need to accomplish 2 things. 1) finish up the General Education requirements that make of the AA program (6 months) that meet the requirements to transfer to the CSU system. 2) Or you must take the Heald Catalog to the school you want to attend and an official transcript from Heald and have them evaluate the credits you have taken. It is up to the receiving institution to determine which credits will transfer. Every college is different.

Question : Transferring an AAS in Radiology?
I'm really quite confused. I'm majoring an AAS Degree in Radiology and am told to avoid AAS degrees, because they don't transfer, since I'll eventually be going to a University one day. Why would I want to get an AA/AS degree though? After 2 years, I still won't be making any money and still be where I was when I started, but with an AAS, I actually get to work, make connections, do something in life and not work minimum wage for another 2 years. What makes an AAS less than an AA/AS? I'm fairly certain AAS has SOME general education courses. Also, after I do get my degree, what's next? BS in Radiology? Or some specialized field?
Answer:
Some of the classes you're taking won't transfer to a university because the university needs to offer the same class, and most of them don't offer radiology tech classes. You might have to start over. If you want to be a radiologist, you need a bachelors degree in something, the premed classes, then med school, then a residency in radiology. Radiologists don't study radiology until after med school.

Question : What should I major in to become a US Marshal?
So I just got my AAS in Emergency Management (which included an EMT-P certification) and I am off to a 4 year school. What major would be best for one wanting to become a US Marshal? Political Science or Criminal Justice?The reason I suggested poly sci was because I heard that it is a better degree because its more general and with the right extracurrics it would be just as good as a Criminal justice degree.
Answer:
Law..

Question : Is Aas Paas Khuda, the Urdu song, a religious song?
Many of my colleagues are Pakistani and when at work i heard the song Aas Paas Khuda. I really loved it and when i went home, i looked up the lyrics. And they seem very spiritual. I'm wondering if its a religious (Islamic) song or just a song about general spirituality.
Answer:
like almost every song, or atleast most songs, there can be many different interpretations of the lyrics based on the individual's personality, personal spirituality, the way they were raised to interpret things like poems and songs, and many other factors. it really just depends on your state of mind about the song, the context you heard it in, and if you are, in fact, Muslim.

Question : How to get my AAS at a community college, and transfer to a 4 year University?
I heard in order to transfer from a community college to a 4 year university, you need to take the general courses that will actually transfer to the university.Nursing is a career I have in mind.. and maybe later if it is something I want to study further, I will consider becoming a nurse practitioner. But for now, I'm wondering.. I heard that I need my AAS (associates) in nursing (RN) .. at the community college.But, how do I get that if I need to take general courses that will be what transfers?Sorry, I'm still confused as to how everything works..Thank you in advance :)
Answer:
Here's the thing that you need to understand which will help you a lot in figuring out what to do next......and I hate it when I have to explain this, because it usually means that some hapless new associates degree holder is just finding out the hard way that his/her "Associate of Applied Science" (AAS) degree is not as good for purposes of transferring into a four-year bachelors degree program as an "Associate of Arts" (AA) or an "Associate of Science" (AS) degre would have been. I wish these small colleges, community colleges, technical colleges, junior colleges, etc., would explain this better so that their enrollees, students and graduates would not be confused and/or taken by surprise.An AAS degree is pretty okay for career purposes (though nearly never as good as a four-year bachelors degree). However, an AAS doesn't transfer well into most bachelors degrees because it's not really an "academic" degree in the same sense as most AA and/or AS degrees.Whether an AAS, an AS, or an AA, it's usually a two-year, approximately sixty-semester-credit-hour degree.With an AA or AS degree, nearly the entire two years (actually, at least one year; and in most AA or AS degree, usually the entire first year plus maybe one-third to one-half of the second year) is devoted to what's called "lower-division general education" (LDGE).LDGE usually has nothing to do with whatever is the associates degree's major. It's "general" education... the same type which four-year bachelors degrees require during their first year or two......hence the reason that most AA or AS degrees are transferable, on their face, straight into four-year bachelors degree programs; and when so, said AA or AS degree is usually counted as the entire freshman and sophomore years of said bachelors degree program, thereby allowing the transferee to begin the bachelors program in the junior year, leaving only two more years (the junior and senior years) to complete the bachelors.LDGE usually includes stuff like two English Comp classes, one or two math classes (usually at least one of which must have a title like "College Math" or "College Algebra"), two natural science courses, two social science courses, one or two (or more) humanties courses, maybe a language course, maybe a computer literacy course, etc., etc.LDGE provides not only a good, general, all-'round education, regardless of the degree's major; but it also exposes the student to a broad range of subjects so that selecting a major will be easier.A typical AA or AS degree will consist of anywhere from 30 to 45 semester credit hours of LDGE; leaving only from 15 to 30 (usally closer to 15 to 18) semester credit hours for courses in the degree's major. (Remember that an AA or AS is only 60 semester credit hours, so the number of LDGE hours are subtracted from 60... and that's how many hours are allowed in the AA's or AS's "major".)However, a typical AAS degree is more concerned about training the student for a job or career, not so much for transferring into a bachelors program.Therefore, most AAS degrees have maybe one-third to sometimes as many as one-half the number of LDGE courses in them. It's very common, for example, for a typical AAS degree to contain only around 18 to maybe 24 semester credit hours of LDGE.While that's good for training in whatever is the AAS's major (since fewer LDGE courses leaves more room for courses in the major), it makes for a lousy associates degree for use in transferring into a four-year bachelors program.Since most four-year bachelors programs require from maybe 36 (on the low end) to (I've seen as many as) 48 semester credit hours (on the high end) of LDGE, you can easily do the math and see that a typical AAS degree holder with 18 to 24 semester credit hours of LDGE in his/her AAS degree will typically be short anywhere from 12 to maybe even as many as 30 semester credit hours of LDGE if s/he tries to transfer his/her AAS degree into a typical bachelors program.Schools which award AAS degrees, but which don't make sure their enrollee/students are painfully aware of all this are disingenuous... even bordering on fraudulent......and I just HATE to see that. It makes me furious; and I end-up feeling really bad for the AAS graduate who finds all this out the hard way.But all's not lost. All you really have to do is sit down with an advisor, and a course credit worksheet, and figure out which of your AAS courses can count as LDGE, and which will then count as general electives (or maybe even courses in the major); and from there you and the advisor can figure out how many more LDGE courses you'll have to take in order to satisfy the LDGE requirements of the bachelors degree.With any luck, depending on how many LDGE courses are in your AAS, you'll only have to take from three to maybe five (six at the most) LDGE courses to get all caught-up; and from there you can concentrate on the bachelors degree's both courses in the major and general electives.Now... another important thing...You mentioned getting an associates degree to become an RN. Sadly, in most states, one cannot become an RN (a "registered nurse") with only an associates (or even an AAS) degree. In most states, one must obtain a "Bachelor of Science in Nursing" (BSN) in order to become an RN.Those with associate-degree-level degrees (AA, AS or AAS) can, in most states, only become a "Licensed Practical Nurse" (LPN), or maybe a "Licensed Vocational Nurse" (LVN), or something like that. In those states, only a BSN holder can sit for the NCLEX-RN exam and, if passed, apply for an RN license.So it's unlikely that you'd be able to become an RN after completing a community college (or any other kind of) two-year (or even two-plus-year) associates degree.And a Nurse Practitioner is, in pretty much EVERY state, something which only the holder of a "Master of Science in Nursing" (MSN) can be... and even then, there's also a rigorous practicum involved. And, of course, one cannot get an MSN unless one first has an undergrad (bachelors) degree... preferably a BSN (though other bachelors degrees are sometimes allowed, depending on the school and the state); and most MSNs that are intended to result in their holders becoming Nurse Practitioners also require a few years of nursing experience as an RN. So there's no quick-and-easy route to becoming a Nurse Practitioner (NP)......as well it should be... after all, an NP can diagnose and even prescribe, just like a physician. An NP, therefore, must be HIGHLY trained and qualified!So, unless you want to be an LVN or LPN first, and then maybe do some additional coursework to satisfy the LDGE requirement of most any BSN program into which you ultimately enter, I would strongly advise you to get an AA or AS degree from your local community college. Then transfer that, on its face, into a BSN program. So doing will likely result in the AA or AS (most likely an AS if it's a BSN into which you'd like it to transfer) will count as the entire first two (freshman and sophomore) years of the BSN, leaving only the last two (junior and senior) years of the BSN to complete.I'd stay away from any AAS degrees, were I you. That's just my advice, mind you... and you're free to disagree with it. But you'd be smarter to follow it.Hope that helps. Good luck to you.
