This book is a comprehensive reference to using LINQ and the Entity Framework in the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. There is a great deal of detail covered, and it's not a re-hash of MSDN Library documentation. Most developers probably will not sit down and read this cover-to-cover over a leisurely weekend. It will make a great desk reference.

Marcos Placona says: "The book splits up in 12 chapters packed with visual examples and code. Every chapter talks about a widget present on the UI. The thing I like the most about each chapter is when at the very beginning of it, the author explains a very simple usage of the widget, and develops a more complex example as the chapter rolls. It is a very nice concept, as if you are a beginner, you will not frustrate yourself by having to read and understand every single piece of the code to have a working example." The link to a chapter from the book is also available.

If you have never used AOP before and think that AspectJ is just magic-ware, then read this book. It will force you to think about solving complex problems in a different light completely. And Manning are giving DZone readers a 40% discount until April 1, 2009!

Since last September I've been thinking again and again about giving Haskell a try. I don't really know why but I simply always had fun playing around with languages like Lisp and Prolog but never actually gave them a try outside of the classroom. And for now Haskell and Erlang seem to be the most prominent functional languages out there, so why not?!

By John Mueller. He reviews the book C# 2008 and 2005 Threaded Programming by Gaston C. Hillar. Most machines today come with multiple processors or at least processors that have multiple cores (both of which count as multiple processors as far as Windows is concerned). Many of the texts that provide the information needed to learn how to work with multiple processors are written in language that the average human doesn???t understand. With C# 2008 and 2005 Threaded Programming this problem is also relieved.

My past as a DBA probably makes me a bit biased, but the reaction I've seen the most when a database application isn't performing as well as would be liked seems to focus on the database side of things. The search for a solution usually seems to center around tuning db parameters, the building (or removal) of indexes and, if the budget allows, throwing hardware at the problem. In their new work, Refactoring SQL Applications, Faroult and L'Hermite bring a much wider range of options to the table. There is a lot in this little book for the developer charged with fixing an existing application and I think a lot of good information that could save one from making a number of headache-inducing mistakes on a new application.

It's been a hundred years since I last blogged, but I'm now officially "back on the horse" for blogging in '09. The reason is that Grails In Action has gone into copy and technical edits, so I have most of my life back! If you're keen to get a feel for what Grails can do, go grab the sample chapter to learn Grails in a hurry! We're on track to have the final one available for a book signing at JavaOne, but you can sign up early and get the PDFs as they develop.

I???ve been dabbling with JavaFX script lately and can???t help but notice JavaFX script???s propensity for poor code hygiene. After reading Bob Martin???s Clean Code, I???m hyper aware of code cleanliness. I don???t think there are any fundamental problems with the JavaFX script, only that best practices and good standards have yet to be laid out. I???m sure there was some pretty poor Java code written back in 1995!

I am often asked by newcomers or designers wannabes different questions about Wordpress. The most common: where can I get that? ?? or how can I do that? The answer is very simple in most cases - you search for the solution. Although sometimes this approach is misunderstood, there is no better way to learn than to research. This is the best solution but in many cases it takes time. An alternative is to read books dedicated to Wordpress. In this post I will review an interesting book about Wordpress that is dedicated to designers, developers and entrepreneurs. It was written by Paul Thewlis and it is entitled Wordpress for Business Bloggers.

This book is geared toward individuals that have at least a general development background, but have no knowledge of WPF. A novice may be able to work well with this book, but it is expected that the reader have at least some kind of background in prior development. This book is not meant to be a technical reference for the ins and outs of WPF or Visual Studio 2008. Most users, no matter the level of experience, should find this book to be at least a reasonable 'jump start' for getting into WPF development.

Book sales is probably not the most accurate measure for the usage of different programming languages, but with no doubt, the sales of books is strongly correlated with the interest and uptake of the languages. I found it very interesting to see a recent publication on O???Reilly???s radar by Mike Hendrickson, discussing the state of the Computer Book Market in 2008.

If you are a professional developer, or aspire to being one, then you owe it to yourself, your team, and your clients to read this book and take it to heart. In ???Clean Code??, author Robert C. Martin (fondly known to many as ???Uncle Bob??) not only shows you what clean code looks like and why it is important, but how to take existing code and make it cleaner. This last part is invaluable because you get to see step by step improvement, which makes doing it with your own code much easier.
