MySQL/PHP Database Applications

The focus of this book is applications development. We are concerned with what it takes to get data-driven Web sites up and running in an organized and efficient way. The book does not go into arcane detail of every aspect of either of these tools. For example, in this book, you will not find a discussion of PHP’s LDAP functions or MySQL’s C application program interface (API). Instead, we will focus on the pieces of both packages that affect one another. We hope that by the time you’re done with this book you’ll know what it takes to get an application up and running using PHP and MySQL.

Professional Web Parts and Custom Controls with ASP.NET 2.0

This book is written for the professional Web developer. I assume that you know how to create a WebForm and now want to take advantage of the features to create your own controls. I do not, however,assume that you are an experienced object developer. If you do have some experience with creating objects, you’ll find a few pages of review material in here covering basic object-oriented (OO) concepts and how to implement them in Visual Basic 2005 and C#. I also assume
that you’re new to creating objects in Visual Studio 2005, so I’ve included some information at the start of Chapter 3 on how to set up your development environment to make you as productive as possible.
