Programming C#    Icon
by Jesse Liberty
Veteran computer author Jesse Liberty's new title, Programming C#, brings a C++ expert's perspective to bear on Microsoft's newest programming language. "Every ten years or so a new approach to programming hits like a tsunami," he says. ".NET and C# are the next wave, and this book is intended to help you ride it." Filled with smart examples and truly in-depth perspective on designing classes with C#, this book is perfect for anyone moving to C# from another language, whether it's C++, Visual Basic, or Java.

J2EE Applications and BEA WebLogic Server    Icon
by Michael Girdley, et al
"BEA WebLogic Server has a growing installed user base … but there has been no comprehensive, practical coverage of full-scale application development on the … platform," write the authors of the new J2EE Applications and BEA WebLogic Server. Here's that book, which delves into the latest in J2EE standards and APIs like servlets, JSPs, and EJBs. You might have heard that it doesn't matter where you deploy Java, but this title might well convince you otherwise. It's a must-read for any Java developer or IT manager considering running BEA's Java.

by Doug Seven, et al
"Building a dynamic Web site using ASP.NET is strikingly different from building the same site using classic ASP," write the authors of ASP.NET: Tips, Tutorials, and Code. But luckily, it's better, with "more features and better performance." Compiled by a team of authors who have been coding with ASP.NET from the early days of the Microsoft beta program, this title offers possibly the best source of practical advice for using ASP.NET in real projects.
