Beginning ASP.NET 4 in VB 2010

ASP.NET is Microsoft’s platform for developing web applications. Using ASP.NET, you can create ecommerce shops, data-driven portal sites, and just about anything else you can find on the Internet.
Best of all, you don’t need to paste together a jumble of HTML and script code in order to program the
Web. Instead, you can create full-scale web applications using nothing but code and a design tool such
as Visual Studio 2010.
The cost of all this innovation is the learning curve. To master ASP.NET, you need to learn how to
use an advanced design tool (Visual Studio), a toolkit of objects (the .NET Framework), and an objectoriented programming language (such as Visual Basic 2010). Taken together, these topics provide
more than enough to overwhelm any first-time web developer.
Beginning ASP.NET 4 in VB 2010 assumes you want to master ASP.NET, starting from the basics.
Using this book, you’ll build your knowledge until you understand the concepts, techniques, and best
practices for writing sophisticated web applications. The journey is long, but it’s also satisfying. At the
end of the day, you’ll find that ASP.NET allows you to tackle challenges that are simply out of reach on
many other platforms.

Word 2013 Plain & Simple
by Jay Freedman

One of the most common uses of Microsoft Word 2013 is the creation
of documents that are to be sent to other people. The documents
might be printed on paper and mailed in an envelope, or they might be
attached to an email message. They can be generated one at a time or
built in large numbers from information in a worksheet or a database.
The mail merge feature in Word 2013 has many more uses than just mailing letters. Any task that involves a standard format that you want to populate with many pieces of information is a candidate for a merge. Think of
name labels for a meeting, certificates for completing a course, a catalog
of items for sale, or a voter registration list—any of these could be created
with an appropriate mail merge.

BEGINNING ASP.NET 4.5

TO BUILD EFFECTIVE AND ATTRACTIVE database-driven websites, you need two things: a solid and
fast framework to run your web pages on and a rich and extensive environment to create and program these web pages. With ASP.NET 4.5 and Visual Studio 2012 you get both. Together they form
the platform to create dynamic and interactive websites.
ASP.NET 4.5 builds on top of its popular predecessors ASP.NET 2.0, 3.5, and 4.0. While maintaining backward compatibility with sites built using these older versions, ASP.NET 4.5 and Visual
Studio 2012 introduce new, exciting features and bring many smaller, but much needed changes to
the framework and development tools.
With each new release of Visual Studio since Visual Studio 2003, I am surprised by the sheer
amount of new functionality and changes Microsoft has been able to put in the product. Visual
Studio 2012 is no exception. If you’re familiar with earlier versions, you’ll notice the new design as a
big change. The UI of Visual Studio has been updated to the Windows 8 design look and feel to better align with other products from Microsoft.
