Chapters  Chapter 1  Extending the Enterprise  Speed. Everything happens faster in a sphere where everything is going digital and connected. Customers can find the right offers faster, businesses can interact with each other faster; companies face a quicker competition and can respond to new threats faster.  Mobile technologies add tremendous significance to the aspect of business speed in many ways. Companies can reach their customers with their offer regardless of where the customer is because mobile technologies are connecting and converging with the Web. For corporate use, mobile solutions make it possible to get rid of unnecessary manual steps throughout the operations. Business processes meet mobility and the system integration that occurs as a result extend existing back office systems to wherever the users are.  Value. Entire ranges of administrative activities and manual processing of collected data is on the verge of distinction. Marketplace offers become available from anywhere. Chapter 2  Tools of Mobile Trade  Enterprise developers can leverage most of their current Microsoft technologies skill set when going mobile. Pocket PC development relies on familiar tools and languages. This chapter shows how to use eMbedded Visual Tools in general and eMbedded Visual Basic in particular. Chapter 3  Getting Started and Beyond  The chapter walks the reader through core elements of eMbedded Visual Basic, and even reveals some hidden tricks that give Pocket PC applications that extra twist. The first part covers the basic functionality built into the tools like form navigation, building a wizard, included controls, third-party controls and even base system controls. In the second we will cover some often useful tricks when building enterprise applications for Pocket PC like creating a splash screen, programming the POOM, launching applications and much more. Chapter 4 Databases in Motion  The Pocket PC strikes a mobile application sweet spot. The Pocket PC inherently supports both connected and disconnected scenarios better than any other mobile device. From an Enterprise perspective, local data store capabilities need to be implemented by solid Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) technologies. Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Windows® CE Edition enters the scene in this chapter. A walkthrough of the new mobile database engine and the different connectivity options Remote Data Access and Merge Replication is included in this chapter. Chapter 5 Corporate Infrastructure Hits the Road  Mobile solutions are rarely green field. The more you can reuse existing corporate infrastructure, the faster you can deliver the right solution. Leverage existing corporate infrastructure and hit the ground running. This chapter discusses in detail how to reach COM components, message queues, databases, file servers from Pocket PC using eMbedded Visual Basic and Odyssey Software CEfusion. Chapter 6  The Web Anywhere  This chapter examines how Pocket PCs can be used as an online thin client. One of the major advantages over other platforms is that it supports standard HTML. It means that it can access most of the Internet, the World Wide Web (WWW). The reader is taught how to build online Web applications that support Pocket PCs, and other devices as well. The chapter explains the available options; from the simple approach of programmatically transforming content depending on client all the way to a multi-channel architecture.  Chapter 7  ACME Copier Field Service Operation  Meet the people at ACME Copier and discover how they have extended their processes to anywhere. The ACME Copier is a relevant example of how any company could make their workforce more productive when on the move. The sample will hopefully inspire the reader to see how one can take advantage of new technology in everyday business. The complete application is available both as a ready-made installation and as source code on the CD. Chapter 8  Inside ACME Copier  This chapter is a detailed walkthrough of the behind the scenes in the system that we saw in action in the previous chapter. The point here is to show how the various techniques fall into place when compiled into a complete Enterprise application. The reader is given a tour of the sample code. Chapter 9  Distributing Applications  Making applications available to users. The reader is shown how to package an application into an installation package that can be distributed both as a PC installation and for Web distribution. There is a description of how to add a nice looking icon to an eVB application, as it is impossible to add one natively. Chapter 10 .NE(x)T Steps  What is there to expect in the future? This chapter contains a discussion about the progress of the mobile development in general and also what is happening with the Pocket PC and its supporting tools. Microsoft's .NET initiative and the impact for mobile solutions is discussed. The reader is introduced to Web Services (using SOAP) and shown how to use this technology right away.

  Say what you will about Microsoft, they know how to successfully build and

  release software. Vince Maraia has been a key member of the build teams for

  many of their major software releases over the last fifteen years. In this book he

  distills the wisdom he has learned about building software, while also setting it

  into the context of related steps, including configuration management and

  deployment. While he uses Microsoft tools and case studies from within

  Microsoft, the book is as tool-agnostic as possible, to make the ideas applicable

  to the broadest possible range of readers. The book is written so that each

  chapter builds upon the previous one, following the standard development

  schedule; however, each chapter can also stand alone as a reference to that

  particular piece of the process. Microsoft has been so successful at developing

  build procedures that work that they will be incorporating many of them in the

  forthcoming suite of products called Visual Studio 2005 Team System, so this

  book is being released at a very opportune time.

  Even though most developers spend much of their programming time working

  with databases, many of them have never had any focused training on how to

  design and build a database that works smoothly and is easy to use. Rebecca

  Riordan is a well-known authority on database design. Her intention in this

  book is to give the reader the knowledge needed to take a messy, complex, realworld

  situation and turn it into an effective database design. This isn't a "how

  to program" book. While there are a few coding examples, even people who

  have never programmed before should be able to follow them. Instead the

  book is full of practical examples taken from real-world situations, and

  explained without the use of code. The sample databases used are Access and

  Microsoft SQL Server, but the lessons are applicable to any database program.

  This book is an updated edition of Designing Relational Database Systems ,

  073560634X, Microsoft Press, which was very highly regarded but is now out

  of print.

  Hands-On Microsoft Access: A Practical Guide to Improving Your Access Skills

  Access is one of the most widely used pieces of software. Perhaps more so

  than any other common program, such as Word or Excel, though, many of its

  users find it more vexing to really understand and use well. This is because you

  can't use Access successfully without a framework in your head of how a

  relational database management system works, and almost none of us have that

  training. While there are many books on Access, most of them are either

  introductory tutorials on how to use Access's features, or big comprehensive

  references. None of them give a good solid grounding in basic database design

  principles. This book fills that need; there really is no other book on Access like

  it on the market. The author has written for on Access for more than seven

  years, and knows how to present complicated principles clearly and in an easyto-

  understand way.

  While there are a lot of books available on network security, most of them take

  the approach of focusing on the attacks, on the hacks, and responding to those

  on a one-by-one basis. This book does just the opposite, focusing on a holistic

  approach to protecting your entire network. It covers all seven layers of the

  Defense in Depth (DID) Model, as well as other material not covered in any

  other books. DID refers to a system of combining defenses to provide added

  protection. Since there are then multiple barriers between the attacker and the

  attacked, this increases the level of security, and increases the cost of the attack

  to the attacker. The authors are two senior members of Microsoft's Security

  and Business Technology Unit (SBTU), and are among the most sought-after

  speakers for security conferences. With security being such a strong focus at

  Microsoft, this book is destined to become the standard guide for all network

  administrators and architects who want to have the most secure Windows

  network possible.

  Seeing Data: Designing User Interfaces for Database Systems Using .NET
  Riordan

  Suggested retail price: $54.99  Buy from myPearsonStoreNet price: $28.04  (What's this?)Brief Description

  

  Why do so many computer programs have such poorly designed user

  interfaces? The most likely reason is that most developers have no training in

  how to design good graphical user interfaces (GUIs.) Microsoft has included

  many helpful tools in the .NET Framework for interface design. Many books

  on .NET have a few pages or at most a chapter on these tools. But until now

  there has not been a book that shows how to use these tools in detail in the

  context of sound UI design principles. This book is intended for experienced

  programmers with a basic knowledge of application development and database

  systems, but no formal training in the basics of interface design. Acknowledged

  database design expert Rebecca Riordan calls upon her years of experience in

  the field to give developers just the right combination of theory and practical

  information to help them design interfaces that will be easy to use. She includes

  lots of sample code that readers can take and insert into their own programs,

  saving them time and money. All code in the book is written in Visual Basic

  .NET; C# versions are available on the book's companion web site.

  Countless books have been devoted to hardware troubleshooting, while

  software troubleshooting has been nearly completely ingnored. Ask any system

  administrator or help desk support technician where they could use help, and

  the answer is almost always "troubleshooting." Administrators continually

  struggle to resolve problems with technologies such as Active Directory,

  WINS, DHCP, and DNS. This book shows how, with the right methodology,

  you can systematically analyze and repair problems affecting an individual

  computer or an entire network. The author not only provides answers to some

  of the most puzzling Microsoft computer problems, but also presents the

  answers in the context of the troubleshooting methodology most highly

  regarded in the computer industry. Wolf covers both Microsoft and third party

  troubleshooting tools. Whether you are an end user looking to exert a new level of

  problem solving independence, or an experienced help desk analyst or systems

  administrator, this book will be an invaluable tool for repairing glitches on all

  the computers you manage.

  As long as networks of Microsoft Windows systems are managed,

  administered, and used by people, security incidents will occur. Windows

  systems are highly pervasive throughout the entire computing infrastructure,

  from home and school systems, to high-end e-commerce sites. In contrast to

  this pervasiveness, information regarding conducting effective incident

  response and forensic audit activities on Windows systems is limited. While

  there are many security books available, none focus specifically on Windows

  security. There are also resources available online, but they are scattered and

  often too general. This book is a compilation of all the information currently

  available on this subject. It is for anyone who manages or administers Windows

  systems (including home users) and needs to know how to react when they

  suspect that an incident has occurred. It guides the reader through

  information, tools, and techniques that are required to conduct incident

  response or a live forensics audit activities. By providing the necessary

  background for understanding how incidents occur and how data can be

  hidden on compromised systems, the reader will have a better understanding of

  the "whys" and "hows" of incident response and forensic audit activities. *It is

  important to note that regulatory issues are also pushing organizations toward

  better security and incident preparedness policies.

  This book is a practical guide to the essential features and functions of the

  Windows API. Unlike most resources, it focuses on the core system services -

  file systems, memory, threads, synchronization, processes, communication, and

  security - rather than the more commonly featured graphical user interface

  (GUI) functions. While the .NET Framework has gotten most of the

  excitement the last few years, there are still many developers whose main

  responsibility is developing and maintaining Windows systems apps.

  Numerous practical, well-tested application programs-- suitable for both

  personal and server systems-- are included along with performance

  measurements on a wide variety of single and multiprocessor systems. In

  addition to WinXP and Win2003, this book teaches how to use the .NET

  framework to program the Windows System and develop applications. This

  completely updated edition also introduces the use of open source software.
