C Unleashed is a very comprehensive book on the ANSI C programming language. This book promotes solid, portable programming using ANSI C, thus benefiting programmers on any platform, including mainframes. Covers the New Standard for C, known as C9X, and includes embedded systems, simulation processing, threading and multiprocessing, digital signal processing, and natural language processing.

Foreword by Darryl Hogan, Architect Evangelist, Microsoft Corporation Microsoft’s highly anticipated LINQ query technology makes it easy to retrieve any information programmatically from any data source, no matter where it comes from or how it’s stored. Using LINQ, developers can query objects, relational databases, XML documents, and ADO.NET datasets--and do it all directly from C# 3.0, leveraging the powerful capabilities of LINQ. This is a definitive guide to getting real-world results with LINQ, using C# 3.0 and Visual Studio 2008. In LINQ Unleashed, Microsoft MVP Paul Kimmel covers every facet of LINQ programming, showing how LINQ can help you dramatically improve your productivity and build more reliable, maintainable applications. Kimmel begins by reviewing the state-of-the-art C# programming techniques LINQ uses, including anonymous types, partial methods, and Lambda expressions. Next, using realistic examples and easy-to-adapt sample code, he details the most powerful new LINQ techniques for accessing objects, databases, and XML. You’ll gain a deep and practical understanding of how LINQ works “under the hood”--and learn how to do everything from selecting data through integrating XML with other data models. Build efficient LINQ queries to .NET objects, SQL databases, and XML content Utilize anonymous types to reduce design time, coding effort, and debugging time Automatically generate .NET state machines with the new yield return construct Master LINQ query syntax, operators, extension methods, sorting, grouping, aggregate and set operations, and more Make the most of select--and use it in the business layer of your n-tier applications Query relational data stored in Microsoft SQL Server Use nullable types to eliminate unnecessary database access plumbing code Use LINQ with ADO.NET 3.0 and Microsoft’s powerful new Entity Framework Extract XML data without the hassles or complexity of XPath Automatically construct XML from CSV files and other non-XML data Query Active Directory by extending LINQ

Annotation A complete professional reference guide to the new C# language. Joe Mayo guides the developer from language syntax and object-oriented software construction to multiple .NET technologies. C# Unleashed teaches the C# language itself and how C# can be used to develop software as a service. Joe Mayo has created numerous Web-based tutorials that have been widely accessed and hot-linked by all the major C# Web sites since the language was first introduced. This book is the only complete and exhaustive C# reference book on the market today. All other C# books are brief treatments. Part I provides the most basic elements of C# language syntax. Part II covers object and component programming in C#. Part III introduces several of the class libraries available to C#. Part IV gives those advanced topics for extreme performance and enterprise programming projects. Part V goes into depth on the C# environment. Included are garbage collection and the effects on a program, cross-language development, the common language runtime, versioning and assemblies, and providing security for your programs. Part VI is the Appendix. It has supplementary material on compiling programs, an overview of .NET Class Library components, and some other resources that may be of interest. Joseph Mayo is a pioneer within the C# community. Joe created the C# Corner Web site shortly after this new language was introduced. His very popular C# tutorials are accessed by Web developers and Web sites throughout the world. Joe is a seasoned developer with over 14 years of robust experiences. Over the years, he has programmed in a variety of languages including assembler, C, C++, VBA and Forte 4GL. His database experience encompasses Paradox, Dbase III, MS Access and Oracle. Frameworks include MFC and Motif. Joe opened a Web site titled C# Station in late June, 2000, and is currently a Software Engineer for Quest Communications.

C# 5.0 Unleashed is for anyone who wants to learn the C# programming language in depth, understanding how language features truly work. While giving you those insights, you learn where and how to use the features to design various kinds of software. This book not only teaches the language's capabilities, it also looks behind the scenes to build a solid foundation to aid you in understanding.

In the 4,000-year history of research into Pi, results have never been as prolific as present. This book describes, in easy-to-understand language, the latest and most fascinating findings of mathematicians and computer scientists in the field of Pi. Attention is focused on new methods of high-speed computation.

A high-level overview of networking, data science and computer security. Designed for readers who don't care for academic formalities, it's a fast and easy guide. It teaches the foundations programmers and knowledge workers need to maximize their effectiveness. It explains how the Internet works from the ground up, how to analyse and derive knowledge from data, and how computers are able to predict the future with machine learning.

"Unleashed is worth an afternoon of your time, whether or not you are already a leader. It is sparkily written and personal, drawing on the experiences of co-authors (and spouses) Frei and Morriss."— Financial Times Leadership isn't easy. It takes grit, courage, and vision, among other things, that can be hard to come by on your toughest days. When leaders and aspiring leaders seek out advice, they're often told to try harder. Dig deeper. Look in the mirror and own your natural-born strengths and fix any real or perceived career-limiting deficiencies. Frances Frei and Anne Morriss offer a different worldview. They argue that this popular leadership advice glosses over the most important thing you do as a leader: build others up. Leadership isn't about you. It's about how effective you are at empowering other people—and making sure this impact endures even in your absence. As Frei and Morriss show through inspiring stories from ancient Rome to present-day Silicon Valley, the origins of great leadership are found, paradoxically, not in worrying about your own status and advancement, but in the unrelenting focus on other people's potential. Unleashed provides radical advice for the practice of leadership today. Showing how the boldest, most effective leaders use a special combination of trust, love, and belonging to create an environment in which other people can excel, Frei and Morriss offer practical, battle-tested tools—based on their work with companies such as Uber, Riot Games, WeWork, and others—along with interviews and stories from their own personal experience, to make these ideas come alive. This book is your indispensable guide for unleashing greatness in other people . . . and, ultimately, in yourself. To learn more, please visit theleadersguide.com.
