.NET Bibliography

When Microsoft released the first beta of the .NET Framework in 2000 it quickly became the default way of developing software for Windows. Rising from the technological legacy of COM, with the C# language, Common Language Runtime (CLR), Intermediate Language (IL) and Just-in-time (JIT) compilation, it was a modern platform that made it easy for Java and C++ developers to develop for Windows. At the same time, Visual Basic .NET provided a natural transition path for Visual Basic developers. Since then, .NET has evolved and branched through 7 major releases of the framework to the current day, and with Windows 8, Microsoft has surprised developers with a completely new UI stack. In this highly competitive world of technology, Microsoft makes the operating system that is running on over a billion computers, yet they continue innovating with unique features of programming languages, and breakthroughs such as Kinect or PixelSense. .NET offers an environment that is a pleasure to develop on and a consistent platform where you will feel at home moving from one technology stack to another. Should you decide to explore the exciting world of .NET development, be sure to use this bibliography to access Safari Books Online resources that will help you understand and master .NET programming.

Pack your wagons, find your ride-or-(literally) die friends, and roll up to Matt&’s General Store with a sack of cash—it&’s time to hit the Oregon Trail, twenty-first-century style! …And Then You Die of Dysentery is a journey through the sometimes frustrating, always entertaining, and universally beloved Oregon Trail computer game. Featuring a four-color design in the game&’s iconic 8-bit format, alongside pop culture references galore, the book offers 50 humorous, snarky lessons gleaned from the game&’s most iconic moments, including gems such as: —Suffering from exhaustion is a real thing. (It&’s not just PR code for why a celebrity went to rehab.) —If you hunt too frequently in one area, game will become scarce. (The first signs of gentrification!) —Invite your sweetie to cuddle with you while looking up at the stars. (The night sky was the original Netflix & Chill. Step 1: Loosen up Orion&’s belt...) With its comic commentary and absurdist nostalgia, ...And Then You Die of Dysentery is the ultimate trip down memory lane, and all the way to the Willamette Valley.

0 Excusas Fitness!: No hay excusas, BAR NONE!! ... TAN SOLO HÁGALO!

¿Sabes cuál es el mayor problema que afecta a la gente hoy en día? No se trata tanto de la aptitud física como de la vida, y ese problema es, en pocas palabras, "HACER EXCUSAS GALORE". No tengo tiempo para entrenar. Los gimnasios del barrio son demasiado caros. Esos estiramientos son demasiado difíciles. Oh, y... ah, ¿por qué no hacerlo mañana? Y así sucesivamente. Las excusas, amigo mío, son la razón por la que la mayoría de la gente nunca se pone en marcha en ese camino hacia el super fitness, la salud y la FORTALEZA - tanto desde el interior como desde el exterior, y ZERO EXCUSES FITNESS no te da la oportunidad de hacer ninguna excusa! En otras palabras, su instrucción de fitness que funciona a toda máquina, siempre y cuando no se hagan EXCUSAS. NADA - repito NADA - es necesario para que usted pueda hacer estos ejercicios. NINGÚN equipo, NINGÚN gimnasio, ni siquiera las tan cacareadas "pelotas suizas" u otros aparatos o aparatos abdominales "fancy shmancy" (que no valen ni siquiera la hora del día en que te pasas mirando los anuncios, para ser honesto). Y no, ni siquiera necesitas una barra de mentón para la mayoría de los ejercicios que he mostrado. Los pull-ups son geniales, pero NO son necesarios. Deja de poner excusas - y coge tu copia AHORA - y mira todo un NUEVO mundo abierto a ti en términos de salud, forma física y fuerza EN GENERAL. Por tu ÉXITO! Rahul Mookerjee

01-01-00: The Novel of the Millennium

As 01-01-00 approaches, Susan Garnett, a senior analyst at the FBI's high-tech crime unit, and Cameron Slater, an anthropologist, must draw on their combined knowledge of ancient glyphs and modern algorithms in order to crack a code hidden in a formidable computer virus. Susan traces the virus's signal to its point of origin, an area near Tikal, the site of one of the largest cities of the ancient Maya. Susan and Cameron travel to the remote jungle, convinced that if they fail to solve the riddles, both ancient and new, before the turn of the new millennium, the virus could trigger a powerful event of global proportions.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
