Developers"

This book has come about following desperate attempts by the author to
understand what .NET really means to information technology (IT) professionals.
Engaging with many corporate customers each month, the paucity of knowledge
around this subject is worrying, as it will impact how we design, build, and
deploy IT solutions for years to come.
Searching the Internet for sensible information is time-consuming and often
shrouded in marketing speak that frustrates technical decision makers. The range
of Microsoft server products, now marketed as .NET Enterprise Servers, has grown
considerably over the past year, and many IT architects are struggling to find
out how these products work, and are integrated, and what impact they may have
on their businesses.
The importance of .NET to Microsoft cannot be underestimated. As Microsoft is
the world's largest software company, this in turn makes .NET important to
anyone working within IT.
This book will give you an excellent insight into .NET and how it will affect
you and your business in the coming years. This is not a developer's guide,
containing pages of code and systemwide settings. Rather, it has been designed
for the busy IT professional who needs to learn quickly about .NET, key
technologies, and products that make up a .NET solution.
Chapter 1: Introducing .NET. Where it has come from and the core architecture
Chapter 2: eXtensible Markup Language (XML.) What is it, how does it work, and
what is its importance in today's IT systems

Chapter 4: Microsoft BizTalk Server. What is it, how does it work, and what is
its importance?
Chapter 5: Microsoft Commerce Server. What is it, how does it work, and what is
its importance in building consumer Web sites
Chapter 6: Microsoft SQL Server. The data storage product used in most .NET
solutions
Chapter 7: Microsoft Content Management Server. How to manage a Web site and
ensure that the content is up-to-date and accurate.
Chapter 8: Microsoft Application Center Server. Managing and scaling a solution
Chapter 9: SOAP Web Services, and UDDI. A new way of building and deploying
distributed solutions using SOAP and introducing UDDI and GXA.

Review
"Signal Transduction is indispensable for modern life sciences."
-BIOELECTROCHEMISTRY (April 2003)
"...useful to senior undergrad and grad students entering the field, but will
also provide a valuable reference for established researchers."
George H.A. Cole, "Planetary Science: The Science of Planets Around Stars"
Taylor & Francis | ISBN 075030815X | 2002 Year | DjVu | 7,3 Mb | 528 Pages
"This is a strong contender for a text suitable for an undergraduate course in
planetary science
pitched at exactly the right level for an undergraduate
physics or astronomy student
At the end of each chapter and topic there are
one or two problems, well chosen to illustrate the material and to reinforce the
reader's understanding
if I were teaching a course on the solar system, I
would certainly have this book on my desk and use it frequently."
- Jeremy B Tatum in The Observatory
"
a useful contribution to the literature
The figures are clear and there are
a few colour plates. The chapters and most of the topics end with one or two
questions to which full answers are given - a welcome feature." "Their book
elegantly combines physics, mathematics, geophysics and astronomy ... The second
part is refreshingly unusual, concentrating on 41 planetary science topics ...
The mathematical and physical approach is elegant, relevant and at a typical
second-year university level. This book encourages understanding and not mere
assimilation of data."
- David Hughes in New Scientist, March 2003
"The authors take the information we know of our Solar System to form the basis
of a generalized planetary science, which can then be applied to any external
star system ... The material would be appealing to students in physics,
astronomy, geology or other science majors looking for a comprehensive overview
of planetary science. Even though this book is meant to be used as a textbook,
the interested individual will find it engaging and instructive. Highly
recommended for academic collections."
- E-STREAMS, Vol. 5, No. 11
"Overall the book achieves its goal of providing a basic text in planetary
science, while providing instructors a fair amount of flexibility in drawing
basic course material from the text, as well as providing a useful reference for
students. It also has a relatively large number of problems and exercises to
illustrate the basic concepts ... the book is quite useful as is, and could very
nicely serve as a basic text on which to build an advanced undergraduate or
graduate-level course in planetary science."

This handy reference introduces the subject of forecast verification and
provides a review of the basic concepts, discussing different types of data that
may be forecast. Each chapter covers a different type of predicted quantity
(predictand), then looks at some of the relationships between economic value and
skill scores, before moving on to review the key concepts and summarise aspects
of forecast verification that receive the most attention in other disciplines.
The book concludes with a discussion on the most important topics in the field
that are the subject of current research or that would benefit from future
research. An easy to read guide of current techniques with real life case
studies An up-to-date and practical introduction to the different techniques and
