A novel approach to developing and applying databases with Visual C#.NET

Practical Database Programming with Visual C#.NET clearly explains the considerations and applications in database programming with Visual C#.NET 2008 and in developing relational databases such as Microsoft Access, SQL Server, and Oracle Database. Sidestepping the traditional approach of using large blocks of code, Ying Bai utilizes both Design Tools and Wizards provided by Visual Studio.NET and real-time object methods to incorporate over sixty real sample database programming projects along with detailed illustrations and explanations to help readers understand the key techniques and programming technologies in database programming. This invaluable resource features:

• Fundamental and advanced database programming techniques for beginning and experienced students as well as programmers

• A real completed sample database CSE_DEPT with three versions (Microsoft Access 2007, SQL Server 2005 SP2, and Oracle Database 10g XE Release 2) used throughout the entire book

• Step-by-step details on designing and building a practical relational database

• Discussion and analysis of the new database query technique, LINQ API—which includes LINQ to Objects, LINQ to DataSet, LINQ to SQL, LINQ to Entities, and LINQ to XML—and implementation in actual projects with line-by-line explanation

• Homework and selected solutions for each chapter to strengthen and improve learning and understanding

• An Instructor's Manual (MS PPT), example codes and exercise questions, homework/exercise solutions, and database projects available for free download

• E-mail assistance from the author

Readers who will benefit highly from this reference are undergraduate or graduate students majoring in computer science and engineering, graduate students in all engineering departments, and software engineers and researchers in academic and industrial fields.

This review is from: Practical Database Programming With Visual C#.NET (Paperback)

The book is based on a newer version of software development tool from Microsoft: Visual C#.NET 2008 environment. I understand that Microsoft has had a 2010 release after the book was published. However, the version that the book is based on is recent enough.
After over a decade of rapid development on programming tools that use different languages and follow different design philosophies, the C#.NET is one of the recent pushes from Microsoft. Other tools used in the book are also relatively recent versions, such as Microsoft Access 2007, SQL Server 2005 Express SP2 and Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 2. This could be attractive to the ones who usually want to get the newer products and up-to-date information. The wizard tools are especially powerful in this C#.NET release. The author provides a good coverage on that.

This review is from: Practical Database Programming With Visual C#.NET (Paperback)

I feel that this book provided practical and easy-to-learn database programming techniques, which can help the readers to increase their learning interests in database programming in C# and reduce the their learning curves in database programming developments

hand-on database programming example projects are discussed and covered in each chapter with detailed description and illustrations. Especially, it described more details in the design tools and wizards provided by Visual Studio.NET C#, with which a professional and practical database project can be built and developed with a few lines of codes. That makes the database programming as a fun!
