A Programmers Guide to Visual Basic.NET
Short Description
Just as Visual Basic 1.0 opened the door to Windows development, Visual Basic.NET again opens up software development—this time to the more than three million Visual Basic developers. It makes it easier than ever before for VB developers to build scalable Web and server applications. It provides technology to bridge the gap from traditional client-side development to the next generation of Web services and applications. It extends the RAD experience that is the heart of Visual Basic to the server and to the Internet.

A 15 Minute Tcl Tour For Visual Basic and VBScript Programmers
Short Description
VB and VBScript programmers: I know how you feel. Really. As a Microsoft Certified Professional in VB6, I’ve been doing those languages for 7 years. I really liked them, until I got over the hump in Tcl and started noticing the differences in flexibility that are shown here. If Tcl looks completely alien to you, and you wonder how in the world they dreamed it up, hold it up beside a piece of C code, or a UNIX shell script. I think those are what influenced it the most. UNIX shell scripts are a lot more advanced than MS Windows shell scripts, even those on NT/2000. In fact, UNIX shell scripts have a lot of the capabilities shown here. Both Tcl and shell script are based largely on string substitution. I chose to study Tcl over shell scripts because Tcl code is much more verbose and English?like (and therefore maintainable) than shell scripts, which tend to be cryptic. Some of the shell script command names are just punctuation alone!

The Apple iPhone is becoming a full-fledged development platform. It’s reliance on desktopclass operating system software is allowing it to become the most powerful mobile platform available. Here is how you can get in on the action, even if you have never written a line of code before! First, you need an Apple computer with an Intel processor and Mac OS X Leopard. I’m sure that Apple would be happy to help you with this step. We’re going to jump right into making a program, but first we need to define a few terms.

Core Python Programming
Short Description
Python is an Internet and systems programming language that is soaring in popularity in today’s fast-paced software development environment, and no wonder: it’s simple (yet robust), object-oriented (yet can be used as a procedural language), extensible, scalable and features an easy to learn syntax that is clear and concise. Python combines the power of a compiled object language like Java and C++ with the ease of use and rapid development time of a scripting language. In fact, its syntax is so easy to understand that you are more likely to pick it up faster than any of the other popular scripting languages in use today!

Android A Programmers Guide, What is Android
Short Description
It can be said that, for a while, traditional desktop application developers have been spoiled. This is not to say that traditional desktop application development is easier than other forms of development. However, as traditional desktop application developers, we have had the ability to create almost any kind of application we can imagine. I am including myself in this grouping because I got my start in desktop programming. One aspect that has made desktop programming more accessible is that we have had the ability to interact with the desktop operating system, and thus interact with any underlying hardware, pretty freely (or at least with minimal exceptions). This kind of freedom to program independently, however, has never really been available to the small group of programmers who dared to venture into the murky waters of cell phone development.

Ars Technica Guide to Virtualization Part I
Short Description
In 2003, Intel announced that they were working on a technology called “Vanderpool” that was aimed at providing hardware-level support for a something called “virtualization.” With that announcement, the decades-old concept of virtualization had officially arrived on the technology press radar. But in spite of its long history in computing, as a new buzzword “virtualization” at first smelled ominously similar to terms like “trusted computing” and “convergence.” In other words, many folks had a vague notion of what virtualization was, and it from what they could tell it sounded like a decent enough idea, but you got the impression that nobody outside of a few vendors and CIO types was really too excited.
