Database Access with Visual Basic
(Publisher: Macmillan Computer Publishing)
Author(s): Jeffrey Mcmanus
Page: 330
ISBN: 1562765671

It’s probably safe to say that the majority of Visual Basic developers will use VB to access databases sooner or later. So why aren’t there more books on databases and Visual Basic? Because database access is the equivalent of plumbing. Like plumbing, there are dozens of segments you must put together before the whole thing works, and when it doesn’t work, the part that’s causing the problem isn’t immediately obvious. Put bluntly, it’s a decidedly unsexy topic.
This book puts the plumbing in order. It won’t help you hike up your pants when you reach under the sink, but it will give you exposure to nearly all aspects of database access you’re likely to encounter in Visual Basic today. Through it all, the objective is to give you the information you need in a concise manner, using examples and step-by-step procedures rather than brief, acronym-laden blurbs.

Beginners Guide to SQL Server Integration Services Using Visual Studio 2005 provides you with the basic knowledge that you should have before you move onto more advanced ETL (Extraction, Transformation, and Loading). This step-by-step, hands-on guide will take you right into the Visual Studio 2005 Integrated Development Interface, making you appreciate and understand how Business Intelligence Projects and Packages are created using the Visual Studio designer. The book will also provide you with a comprehensive description of the many designer windows that you may encounter while working with the designer. This guide provides the building blocks, describing each block by way of an example, as well as describing the nuts and bolts that bind the blocks. You start building packages right from Chapter 2 and continue onto Chapter 20, gathering and building upon your knowledge in each step.

This book is written for beginners in the developer track who are looking to get an exposure to SQL Server Integration Services; DBA's who are testing water with the Visual Studio IDE but without a wide programming experience; SQL 2000 Data Transformation Services users who are trying to move into SQL Server 2005 Integration Services; Microsoft programming professionals in Small Businesses who wear multiple hats (jack of all trades)—developer, programmer, and DBA with a little bit of experience in each of these.

It is expected that you know how to manipulate window objects, like clicking; dragging and dropping; using contextual help; tabbing, etc. It is also expected that you are exposed to SQL Server database basics and that you understand connecting to a database server; querying the database; reviewing objects; displaying and reviewing properties of objects, etc. Very little coding skill is assumed except that you can logically follow a fully commented code.

PHP & MySQL® For Dummies® 3rd Edition
Author: Janet Valade
Publisher: Wiley Publishing
2007

Welcome to the exciting world of Web database applications. This book provides the basic techniques to build any Web database application, but I certainly recommend that you start with a simple one. In this book, I develop two sample applications, both chosen to represent two types of applications frequently encountered on the Web: product catalogs and customer- or member-only sites that require the user to register and log in with a password. The sample applications are complicated enough to require more than one program and to use a variety of data and data manipulation techniques, yet simple enough to be easily understood and adapted to a variety of Web sites. After you master the simple applications, you can expand the basic design to include all the functionality that you can think of.

Think of this book as your friendly guide to building a Web database application. This book is designed as a reference, not as a tutorial, so you don’t have to read it from cover to cover. You can start reading at any point — in Chapter 1, Chapter 9, wherever. I divide the task of building a Web database application into manageable chunks of information, so check out the table of contents and locate the topic that you’re interested in. If you need to know information from another chapter to understand the chapter you’re reading, I reference that chapter number.

Here’s a sample of the topics I discuss:

Building and using a MySQL database

Adding PHP to HTML files

Using the features of the PHP language

Using HTML forms to collect information from users

Showing information from a database in a Web page

Storing information in a database

Learning PHP and MySQL, Second Edition
Author : Michele E. Davis and Jon A. Phillips
ISBN-13: 978-0-596-51401-3
2007

This book is for people who want to know how to create dynamic web sites. That could include graphic designers who are already working in an IT or advertising firm creating static web sites, and who may need to move forward with coding databasedriven web sites. It might also include people who already know, say, Flash development and HTML markup, but need to expand their repertoire of skills to databases and programming.

This book starts out with an overview of how all of the pieces you’ll be working with fit together. Because there are multiple languages and technologies that interact to formdynam ic web pages, it’s best to start with a solid understanding of how the pieces work together. The PHP that you’ll learn works as an integration package for dynamic web sites.

Next, we’ll walk through installing the core software packages on your local computer. This book focuses on PHP and MySQL, but making this work also usually requires the Apache web server. The PHP interpreter works with the web server when processing dynamic content. Finally, you’ll install the MySQL database. Installation is covered for PC, Mac, and Linux systems. You can also use a hosted Internet service provider (ISP) account to develop your pages, if you don’t want to install everything locally.

Pragmatic bookshelf
Rails for PHP Developers
Author: Derek DeVries, Mike Naberezny
pub.date: February 2008

There is no doubt that by now you’ve heard all of the hype about Ruby on Rails. It has been generating a lot of buzz with the promise of making
web applications fast and simple to create, and you may be wondering what the big deal is. We know that PHP has been doing this for years
and has proven quite capable by its use in large companies such as Yahoo. You may be wondering whether it’s worth the time investment
to learn Rails and Ruby, when you already have PHP under your belt.

This book is meant for PHP developers who are interested in adding Rails to their toolsets. There are a lot of books on Rails now, but PHP
developers have a unique way of thinking about problems that are built around the PHP mind-set. This book aims to guide your learning in
Rails based on your existing knowledge of programming in PHP. An understanding of object-oriented programming in PHP will help but is
not entirely necessary. This should be something you start to pick up naturally while programming in Ruby.

Beginning PHP and MySQL: From Novice to Professional, Third Edition
Author: W. Jason Gilmore
ISBN-13 (pbk): 978-1-59059-862-7
Pub. Date: March 2008.
Most great programming books sway far more toward the realm of the practical than of the academic. Although I have no illusions regarding my place among the
great technical authors of our time, it is always my goal to write with this point in mind, producing material that you can apply to your own situation. Given the size of this book, it’s probably apparent that I attempted to squeeze out every last drop of such practicality from the subject matter. That said, if you’re interested in gaining practical and comprehensive insight into the PHP programming language and MySQL database server, and how these prominent technologies can be used together to create dynamic, database-driven Web applications, this book is for you.

If you’re new to PHP, I recommend beginning with Chapter 1, because gaining the fundamental knowledge presented therein will be of considerable benefit to you when you’re reading later chapters. If you know PHP but are new to MySQL, consider beginning with Chapter 25. Intermediate and advanced readers are invited to jump around as necessary; after all, this isn’t a romance novel. Regardless of your reading strategy, I’ve attempted to compartmentalize the material found in each chapter so that you can quickly learn each topic without having to necessarily master other chapters beyond those that concentrate on the technology fundamentals.
Furthermore, novices and seasoned PHP and MySQL developers alike have something to gain from this book, as I’ve intentionally organized it in a hybrid format of both tutorial and reference. I appreciate the fact that you have traded hard-earned cash for this book, and therefore have strived to present the material in a fashion that will prove useful not only the first few times you peruse it, but far into the future.

Author: Larry Ullman
ISBN-13: 978-0-321-52599-4
Pub.date: December 2007

Today’s Web users expect exciting pages that are updated frequently and provide a customized experience. For them, Web sites are more like communities, to which
they’ll return time and again. At the same time, Web site administrators want sites that are easier to update and maintain, understanding that’s the only real way to
keep up with visitors’ expectations. For these reasons and more, PHP and MySQL have become the de facto standards for creating dynamic, database-driven Web sites.

This book represents the culmination of my many years of Web development experience coupled with the value of having written several previous books on the technologies
discussed herein. The focus of this book is on covering the most important knowledge in the most efficient manner. It will teach you how to begin developing dynamic Web
sites and give you plenty of example code to get you started. All you need to provide is an eagerness to learn.

Book Description

Visual Basic .NET is more than simply Visual Basic 7. Microsoft has almost completely revamped a language that millions of developers know and love, Visual Basic 6. Perhaps the reasons for changing VB so dramatically require a book of their own, but that is a story best left for Microsoft to tell. Some things were clearly missing in past versions of VB. These missing things may not seem apparent to those completely content with Visual Basic as it used to be, but deficits existed.

When you and I are finished, you will see the new power and beauty of Visual Basic .NET and I hope you will agree that it was time for a VB overhaul.

Visual Basic .NET Unleashed is a complete book on the fundamentals of programming in a fully object-oriented language filled with new idioms and capabilities like true inheritance and polymorphism, event handlers, structured exception handling, and Web services. In addition to presenting you with fundamentals, it is the charter of this book to give you extra insight and advice based on real-world experience to help you become more productive with Visual Basic .NET than you ever were able to be with Visual Basic 6.

Visual Basic .NET has everything, including the kitchen sink. Visual Basic .NET presents the reader with more power and potential than any other implementation of Basic ever has.

Visual Basic.NET Unleashed is a complete book on the fundamentals of programming with a fully object-oriented language filled with new idioms and capabilities. In addition to the fundamentals, this book covers:

• Free threading and multithreading
• Inheritance
• Virtual methods and shared methods
• Structured exception handling
• Event handling
• Encapsulation at the namespace level
• Web Services
• .NET Framework compatibility

The Art of SQL offers best practices, that teach experienced SQL users to focus on strategy rather than specifics, Faroult's approach takes a page from Sun Tzu's classic treatise by viewing database design as a military campaign. You need knowledge skills, and talent. Talent can't be taught, but every strategist from Sun Tzu to modern-day generals believed that it can be nurtured through the experience of others, They passed on their experience acquired in the field through basic principles that served as guiding stars amid the sound and fury of battle. This is what Faroult does with SQL.
