Essential COM (DevelopMentor Series)»rank: 165888by: Don Box
: :Written by a leading COM authority, this unique book reveals the essence of COM, helping developers to truly understand the why, not just the how, of COM. Understanding the motivation for the design of COM and its distributed aspects is critical for developers who wish to go beyond simplistic applications of COM and become truly effective COM programmers. As the COM programming model continues to evolve, such insight also becomes essential to remaining current with extensions, such as Microsoft Transaction Server and COM+. By showing you why Distributed COM works as it does, Don Box enables you to apply the model creatively and effectively to everyday programming problems. This book ... |
The Oslo Modeling Language: Draft Specification - October 2008 (Addison-Wesley Microsoft Technology)»rank: 80271by: David Langworthy, Brad Lovering, Don Box
: :The “Oslo” Modeling Language (commonly referred to as 'M') is a language for defining domain models and languages (the latter are often referred to as textual DSLs). 'M' was created to allow developers to efficiently capture their intention in a form that is natural to author but also efficient to store and query using off-the-shelf database technology. This book comes from the original creators of 'M'--David Langworthy, Brad Lovering, and Don Box--and is the definitive reference to the language. If you are looking for a compact textual notation for writing down information or schematizing structured and unstructured data, this book is for you. This book is the authoritative ... |

Essential .NET, Volume I: The Common Language Runtime (Microsoft .NET Development Series)»rank: 416757by: Don Box, Chris Sells
: :Essential .NET will enable developers to take advantage of the full power available to them in Microsoft .NET. It goes far beyond the features-based 'how-to' books currently on the market to also explain the 'why' behind C #, .NET, and the CLR. As with all of Don's books, it is packed with practical detail and expert advice. It promises to be the book developers will reach for first with questions about the CLR and .NET. In his new position at Microsoft Don is even better placed to evangelize for this book. He will be speaking everywhere, and will continue placing articles in MSDN, where he has already started excerpting this ... |
Effective Com: 50 Ways to Improve Your Com and Mts-Based Applications (Addison-Wesley Object Technology Series)»rank: 740951by: Keith Brown, Tim Ewald, Chris Sells

Essential XML: Beyond MarkUp (DevelopMentor Series)»rank: 471570by: Don Box, Aaron Skonnard, John Lam
: :XML holds out the promise of a universal and standard means of object/component communication that vastly reduces the need for reliance on competing ORB standards such as Enterprise JavaBeans, COM, and CORBA. In this book, Don Box covers every key issue, technology, and technique involved in using XML as the 'ultimate translator' between disparate software components and environments. Essential XML starts by contrasting the XML approach to software interoperability with pre-XML practices, technologies, and methodologies, including COM, CORBA, and EJB. Next, it examines XML-based approaches to metadata, declarative and procedural programming through transformation, and programmatic interfaces -- showing how XML's platform, language and vendor independence -- and its accessibility -- ... |
