Windows Store App Development

Posted: 17 Jul 2013 10:11 AM PDT

Book Description

Windows Store App Development introduces C# developers to working with Windows Store apps. It provides full coverage of XAML, and addresses both app design and development. Following numerous carefully crafted examples, you’ll learn about new Windows 8 features, the WinRT API, and .NET 4.5. Along the way, you’ll pick up tips for deploying apps, including sale through the Windows Store. And, of course, you’ll find the same deep and unique insights Pete provides in his Silverlight books.

The Windows Store provides an amazing array of productivity tools, games, and other apps directly to the millions of customers already using Windows 8.x or Surface. Windows Store apps boast new features like touch and pen input, standardized app-to-app communication, and tight integration with the web. And, you can build Windows Store apps using the tools you already know: C# and XAML.

Windows Store App Development introduces the Windows 8.x app model to readers familiar with traditional desktop development. You’ll explore dozens of carefully crafted examples as you master Windows features, the Windows Runtime, and the best practices of app design. Along the way, you’ll pick up tips for deploying apps, including selling through the Windows Store.

This book requires some knowledge of C#. No experience with Windows 8 is needed.

AOP in .NET

Posted: 17 Jul 2013 10:07 AM PDT

Book Description

AOP in .NET introduces aspect-oriented programming to .NET developers and provides practical guidance on how to get the most benefit from this technique in your everyday coding. The book’s many examples concentrate on modularizing non-functional requirements that often sprawl throughout object-oriented projects. Even if you’ve never tried AOP before, you’ll appreciate the straightforward introduction using familiar C#-based examples. AOP tools for .NET have now reached the level of practical maturity Java developers have relied on for many years, and you’ll explore the leading options, PostSharp, and Castle DynamicProxy.

Core concerns that cut across all parts of your application, such as logging or authorization, are difficult to maintain independently. In aspect-oriented programming (AOP) you isolate these cross-cutting concerns into their own classes, disentangling them from business logic. Mature AOP tools like PostSharp and Castle DynamicProxy now offer .NET developers the level of support Java coders have relied on for years.

Redis in Action

Posted: 17 Jul 2013 10:02 AM PDT

Book Description

Redis in Action introduces Redis and walks you through examples that demonstrate how to use it effectively. You’ll begin by getting Redis set up properly and then exploring the key-value model. Then, you’ll dive into real use cases including simple caching, distributed ad targeting, and more. You’ll learn how to scale Redis from small jobs to massive datasets. Experienced developers will appreciate chapters on clustering and internal scripting to make Redis easier to use.

When you need near-real-time access to a fast-moving data stream, key-value stores like Redis are the way to go. Redis expands on the key-value pattern by accepting a wide variety of data types, including hashes, strings, lists, and other structures. It provides lightning-fast operations on in-memory datasets, and also makes it easy to persist to disk on the fly. Plus, it’s free and open source.

Redis in Action introduces Redis and the key-value model. You’ll quickly dive into real use cases including simple caching, distributed ad targeting, and more.

Experienced developers will appreciate the in-depth chapters on clustering and internal scripting.

Written for developers familiar with database concepts. No prior exposure to NoSQL database concepts nor to Redis itself is required. Appropriate for systems administrators comfortable with programming.
