WebAssembly fulfills the long-awaited promise of web technologies: fast code, type-safe at compile time, execution in the browser, on embedded devices, or anywhere else. Rust delivers the power of C in a language that strictly enforces type safety.
Cloud Native Go guides developers in building large-scale cloud applications that can dynamically adapt to high demands. Authors Kevin Hoffman and Dan Nemeth delve into the modern cloud-native application, detailing the essential factors, disciplines, and habits for rapid and reliable development. The book introduces Go, a high-performance language well-suited for cloud development. Readers will learn to create microservices in Go, integrate front-end components using ReactJS and Flux, and master advanced cloud-native techniques. Key topics include establishing a continuous delivery pipeline using tools like Wercker, Docker, and Dockerhub, automatically deploying apps to leading platforms, and effectively monitoring app performance in production. The authors emphasize the importance of mindset and discipline in developing quality cloud software. Readers will discover how to plan for continuous delivery and deployment, design service ecosystems with a test-first approach, and utilize Event Sourcing and CQRS patterns to manage high volume and throughput. Additionally, the book covers securing cloud-based web applications, creating reactive applications with third-party messaging providers, building scalable GUIs with React and Flux, and monitoring dynamic scaling, failover, and fault tolerance in the cloud.
WPF Control Development Unleashed Building Advanced User Experiences In this book, two leading Windows Presentation Foundation experts give developers everything they need to build next-generation WPF applications–software that is more robust, usable, and compelling. Drawing on their close ties with Microsoft’s WPF development team, Pavan Podila and Kevin Hoffman give you a clear, robust, and practical understanding of WPF, its underpinnings, its overall architecture, and its design philosophy. Podila and Hoffman introduce never-before-published WPF design patterns and support them with robust, real-world code examples–all presented in full color, just as they appear in Visual Studio. The authors begin by explaining how to “think in WPF,” and then introduce powerful new techniques for everything from handling 3D layouts to creating game-like physics effects. Along the way, they offer in-depth coverage of data binding, building interactivity, and control development: three of WPF’s most challenging concepts. You’ll learn how to choose the right WPF features for every programming challenge, and use those features far more creatively and effectively. If you want to build truly outstanding WPF applications, this is the book that will get you there.

This work shows the reader how to build an interactive website from design to deployment. Packed with solutions to website programming problems, this it should have you building well-engineered, extendable ASP.NET websites quickly and easily.
Professional .NET Framework has been designed as a practical guide to the .NET Framework. It covers the Common Language Runtime environment in which .NET applications are deployed and managed along with the fundamental structure of the base class libraries upon which Microsoft's .NET platform relies. It has been written using beta 2, a feature complete version of the .NET Framework. This book provides the essential aerial view of the framework, placing .NET in a meaningful context with current programming frameworks, before delving into detail with a thorough, practical, example-led approach to exploring and working with the constituent parts of the framework. It systematically covers namespaces and their extended classes, which professionals will need to work with to build distributed, scaleable, applications. It also covers the techniques required to expose or consume code over the Internet as Web Services. Professional .NET Framework also examines best practice for designing and constructing applications, engineering .NET components, and utilizing COM interoperability. The final section of the book provides a chapter and case study dedicated to approaching migration to .NET. The book drills down to a level which scopes specific classes in detail yet retains a focus on imparting information in the most practical, relevant and useful way, to make the transition to .NET as smooth and clear as possible.
