Simply Visual Basic^® .NET 2003 An APPLICATION-DRIVEN Tutorial Approach  (Visual Studio .NET^® 2003 Edition)

Focus of the Book
Our goal was clear: Produce a Visual Basic .NET textbook for introductory-level courses in computer programming aimed at students with little or no programming experience. This book combines the DEITEL^® signature LIVE-CODE  Approach with an APPLICATION-DRIVEN methodology, in which readers build real-world applications that incorporate Visual Basic .NET programming fundamentals. Using a step-by-step tutorial approach, readers begin learning the basics of programming and each successive tutorial builds on the readers’ previously learned concepts while introducing new programming features. Learn GUI design, controls, methods, functions, data types, control statements, procedures, arrays, object-oriented programming, strings and characters, sequential files and more in this comprehensive introduction to Visual Basic .NET. We also include higher-end topics such as database programming, multimedia and graphics and Web applications development. After mastering the material in this book, students will be able to program in Visual Basic .NET and to employ many key capabilities of the .NET platform.

Operating Systems, 3/E is intended primarily for one- and two-semester operating systems courses (in the most recent ACM curriculum) that universities offer to juniors, seniors and graduate students in computer science. Operating systems designers and systems programmers will find the text useful as a reference source as well.

The focus on current technologies and problems in distributed computing makes this book unique from the competition. This text reflects the increasing influence of the Internet on all aspects of computing and the decreasing cost of computer systems. Many sections have been updated to reflect the evolving interaction between hardware and system software and several sections have been created to address the concerns of embedded, real-time and distributed systems.

In addition to bringing the core material of the text into the 21st century, the text features extensive case studies on the two most important operating systems today: Linux and Microsoft Windows XP. These case studies represent two different operating systems design paradigms: free, open-source development and licensed, for profit corporate development.

The text also contains charts, diagrams and illustrations and exercises. Each chapter lists extensive literature–books and papers are referenced. More than 1800 terms are highlighted in the end-of-chapter terminology sections. The book contains a 50-page glossary.

Coming Soon! This revision of our Operating Systems textbook contains many new features including: Conforms to all core requirements and most elective topics of the IEEE/ACM's CC2001 Operating Systems course requirements. Abundant, rich and engaging illustrations (on the order of 300 figures). 100+ page Linux case study and 100+ page Windows XP case study. Up-to-the-minute case study of distributed computing, including the latest file systems and peer-to-peer protocols. End-of-chapter and end-of-book Glossary, each of which presents terms accompanied by full definitions. Each chapter contains a list of Web resources to supplement chapter material Two-color format provides for a pleasant reading experience and clearer, more informative illustrations. Two-levels of indexing for important topics. Strong citations—all sources are duly credited, many are highlighted in a Recommended Reading section. Engaging design breaks from the traditional black-and-white approach while maintaining clarity and consistency in presentation and discussion. Pseudocode in Java-like syntax to capitalize on C/C++/Java literacy. Process, memory and disk management solutions reflect current results from the literature. Concepts relevant to real-time, embedded and superscalar architectures supplement the extensive coverage of general-purpose systems. Performance chapter highlights key evaluation techniques that enable effective comparative analyses of operating system components. Description of operating system simulators to provide instructors with valuable lab resources.
