A Programmer's Guide to ADO.NET in C# begins by taking readers through a fast-paced overview of C# and then delves into ADO.NET. Why should C# programmers use it instead of the existing technologies? What new functionality does it offer? The chapters that follow go through the details on each of the major Data Providers of the .NET platform (OleDb, SQL Server, and ODBC) that enable you to read and write data to the targeted database. These chapters also serve as a good reference for looking up detailed methods and properties for these data provider classes. Authors Chand and Gold also show C# programmers how to work with XML classes and how to integrate XML into the ADO.NET architecture. The book provides programmers with handy ideas about taking advantage of the VS.NET IDE and how you can tie your data to the myriad of powerful controls including the multi-faceted Data Grid. Finally, it goes through creating a guest book application for the Web so you can see how all the pieces fit together.

This introduction to "C" programming takes a single general application and extends it to introduce new concepts, progressing from a simple programme to a complete menu driver system with file handling routines. The text emphasizes the importance of producing well-structured and efficient software and uses graded programme examples throughout which

One of the most complete and comprehensive books written on "C" language, this text requires no prior knowledge of programming, no mathematical skills, and no prior training in problem-solving. A Step-by-Step Guide to C Programming has a workbook-like approach so readers can pace themselves. The following features make this book unique: the approach is informal, and each concept is explained by example; explanations are organized like lecture notes; most examples are code complete; readers learn how to put segments of codes together, not just how to use functions and syntax; advice on good programming practices is included; one- and two-dimensional arrays are presented; and the importance of how to write portable functions is stressed.

OMNITAB 2 is a general-purpose program which permits direct use of a computer without prior knowledge of computer languages.Every effort has been made to produce a system as machine independent as possible to make implementation on any large computer configuration relatively easy.However, there are a few modifications which may have to be made. The report provides assistance to the systems programmer, with the task of implementing OMNITAB, by pointing out where difficulties may occur and how to cope with them.It furthermore outlines a method for segmenting the OMNITAB system which is very large. It is a partial documentation of the OMNITAB program.OMNITAB II is a large system requiring a large computer.Overlay and segmentation are virtually essential.A method for segmenting OMNITAB II is outlined.The method should be useful for many computers.
