I feel kind of like Sid in the movie Toy Story when his rocket came in the mail—”It came it finally came!” I
remember anticipating SQL Server 7 when working with SQL Server 6.5 and hoping for an improvement.I wasn’t disappointed. SQL Server 7 left far behind all the baggage of OS/2 and the UNIX environment from which SQL Server initially emerged. It was truly a new and innovative release. When SQL Server 2000 was announced, I was hoping for some even more dramatic improvements, and I wasn’t disappointed. Although the changes in the product from SQL Server 7.0 to SQL Server 2000 were not of the magnitude of the changes between SQL Server 6.5 and SQL Server 7.0, they were still impressive. SQL Server was easier to program against, and easier than ever to manage.

 C# is a relatively new language that was unveiled to the world when Microsoft announced the first version of its .NET Framework in July 2000. Since then its popularity has rocketed, and it has arguably become the language of choice for both Windows and Web developers who use the .NET Framework. Part of the appeal of C# comes from its clear syntax, which derives from C/C++ but simplifies somethings that have previously discouraged some programmers.

You’re off to the right start.Our overarching goal in writing this book was to give ASP.NET developers the power to quickly and easily create visually stunning Internet applications, coupled with rich interactivity to fully immerse
the user in a new online experience. Silverlight gives you everything you need to do just this, and in serious style!
For the first time ever, the power of the .NET Framework has been unleashed in a plug-in that can be embedded in multiple browsers across multiple operating systems, giving developers tremendous capability and flexibility in rich Internet applications development

If we were to describe the C# language and its associated environment, the .NET Framework, as the most important new technology for developers for many years, we would not be exaggerating. .NET is designed to provide a new environment within which you can develop almost any application to run on Windows, whereas C# is a new programming language that has been designed specifically to work with .NET. Using C# you can, for example, write a dynamic Web page, an XML Web service, a component of a distributed application, a database access component, a classic Windows desktop application, or even a new smart client application that allows for online/offline capabilities. This book covers the .NET
Framework 3.5. If you are coding using version 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, or even 3.0, there may be sections of the book that will not work for you. We try to notify you of items that are new to the .NET Framework 3.5specifically.

revolution will bring more interactive user interfaces to Web applications

 Ajax has become a huge buzzword over the past two years, and it is often mentioned in the same breath as another buzzword — Web 2.0. Neither term refers to something concrete or downloadable, but they’ve both been coined to reflect the changing face of the Web. Web 2.0 is as much about an attitude and a mindset as it is about new developments. Several innovations have emerged concurrently to create this sea of change, such as wikis,blogs, newsfeeds, third-party application programming interfaces (APIs), and web services

سرنام Ajax عبارت Asynchronous JavaScript and XML  و به معنی جاوا اسکریپت و XML آسنکرون یا نامتقارن است.
ای جکس فناوری جدیدی است که به کمک آن میتوان اینترفیس یک برنامه تحت وب را طوری ساخت که وقتی کاربر روی دکمه یا لینکی کلیک میکند، کلیه عملیات ارسال اطلاعات و دریافت نتایج در پشت صحنه انجام شود و فقط آن قسمت از اینترفیس که قرار است اطلاعات جدید را به نمایش درآورد تغییر کند بدون اینکه تمام صفحه از نو بارگذاری شود. در این مقاله می خواھیم این فناوری نوین و تحول آفرین را از جنبه ھای مختلف مورد بررسی قرار دھیم و با مبانی فنی آن آشنا شویم .

For over 25 years, I have written the books I wished had already been written to help me learn oruse a new technology. Whenever possible, I like to get in at the very beginning of a new authoringor programming environment, feel the growing pains, and share with readers the solutions to my
struggles. This sixth edition of JavaScript Bible represents knowledge and experience accumulated over ten years of daily work in JavaScript and a constant monitoring of newsgroups for questions, problems,and challenges facing scripters at all levels. My goal is to help you avoid the same frustration and head scratching I and others have experienced through multiple generations of scriptable browsers.

Simply put, you will find that ASP.NET 3.5 is an amazing technology to use to build your Web solutions!
When ASP.NET 1.0 was introduced in 2000, many considered it a revolutionary leap forward in the area of Web application development. ASP.NET 2.0 was just as exciting and revolutionary and ASP.NET 3.5 is continuing a forward march in providing the best framework today in building applications for theWeb.Although the foundation of ASP.NET was laid with the release of ASP.NET 1.0, ASP.NET 3.5 continues to build on this foundation by focusing on the area of developer productivity. This book covers the whole of ASP.NET. It not only introduces new topics, it also shows you examples of these new technologies in action. So sit back, pull up that keyboard, and let’s have some fun
