Kevin Mitnick was being arrested for being one of the most prolific hackers on the net. At the time the Internet ...

Ok, so I know Visual Studio 2008 is the current version we are all using, right? But I have been a little behind on some of my books and well to be honest really using the cool features of Team System. So I got this book almost a year ago and finally got around to reading it earlier this week. I wanted to read it to get a better understanding of ...

Recently I was able to publish my first two eBooks via WROX BLOX, httpModules and httpHandlers.

I like the idea of publishing in an eBook format, because you can buy just the part of the book you really want and it give authors the ability to focus on a topic to produce something that can go deeper than a magazine article, but ...

I recently got a copy of my friend Scott Forsyth's IIS 7 book from WROX. The book has 6 authors and covers just about everything you need to know about IIS 7. I have examined a few IIS 7 books and have played a little with IIS 7 so far. Professional IIS 7 provides a great wealth of information about the latest version of the Microsoft Web Server. ...

The book covers LINQ basics, LINQ to SQL, LINQ to XML and LINQ Extensions, see the LINQ In Action table of contents.

Many years ago I saw there was an ASP.NET user group meeting here in the Triangle. That night their guest was Stephen Walther, who just impressed me beyond anything I had experienced up to that point in my development career. I think it was the first time something or someone had given me a broader vision as to what I could really do with this ...
