BACK A FEW YEARS AGO I HAD AN IDEA. What if I could make the power of the DirectX API available to the developers who were going to be using the new set of languages and common language runtime that Microsoft was developing? The idea was intriguing, and opening up a larger portion of the world to DirectX was a goal I was only happy to endorse. - Besides, what developer doesn't want to write games? It seems that at least once a week I am answering questions directly regard- ing the performance of managed code, and Managed DirectX in particular. One of the more common questions I hear is some...

Throughout this book we'll be developing a set of solutions (in the form of custom controls most of the time) designed to tackle the more common needs of Web Appli- tion development. These range from simple and self-contained controls, like the Spinner control developed in Chapter 2, to more advanced and complex solutions, such as the Search engine presented in Chapter 14. While developing these solutions, we tried to demonstrate the most varied offering of different approaches as possible. For example, you'll find some controls that use a database for their storage needs while others will...

Douglas C. Schmidt Professor of Computer Science, Associate Chair of Computer Science and Engineering Vanderbilt University T he evolution of software technologies over the past five decades has involved the creation of languages and platforms that help developers program more in terms of their design intent, such as architectural concepts and abstractions, and shield them from the complexities of the underlying computing substrate, such as CPU, memory, and network devices. After years of progress, many projects today use third-generation programming languages, such as Java, C++, and C#, and...
