This guide is strikingly different from other books on Microsoft ADO.NET. Rather than load you down with theory, the new edition of ADO.NET 3.5 Cookbook gives you more than 200 coding solutions and best practices for real problems you're likely to face with this technology using Visual Studio 2008 and the .NET 3.5 platform.

AJAX enables rich desktop like user interfaces in the browser and enables interactive interfaces that can even replace traditional user interfaces.

In this video tutorial we will take a look at creating a poster with a bunch of different color and text effects on it as well as implementing some cool textures which are available for download online.

This book is concerned with the technique of attrition milling for the preparation of nano particles like two important ceramic materials for hi-tech applications, e.g. silicon carbide and alumina. Some more techniques, particularly the recent interest on sol-gel method, will be also elaborated in the case of zirconia. This is described in the chapters 2 and 3, after a quite exhaustive discussion on the relevant theoretical aspects in chapter 1. Since one of our goals is to make high strength materials, the chapter 4 is devoted on the mechanical properties of nano materials together with an adequate dose of fracture mechanics, which is important to understand the behaviour of fracture of brittle materials or ‘materials failure’ during their use.

David Rice is a high school student in Ann Arbor, abandoned by his mother at five, enamored with Millie, a fellow student, and picked on by at least one classmate. On a winter's day, while about to drown, he discovers he can transport himself instantaneously to anyplace on earth. He leaves town, goes to New York City, robs a bank vault, and comes to the attention of a shadowy group of government hunters.
