Net Compact Framework Programming with C or The Functional Approach to Programming

.Net Compact Framework Programming with C# (Microsoft .Net Development Series)

Author: Paul Yao

.NET Compact Framework Programming with C# is the definitive tutorial and reference for the .NET Compact Framework (CF). It shows you how to transfer your skills and your code to the Pocket PC 2003 and other mobile and embedded smart devices.

Authors Paul Yao and David Durant draw upon their years of research and experience with members of the Microsoft .NET CF team to show you exactly how the best CF programming gets done in C#. This is the only book a programmer needs to master the art of CF coding. Throughout the book, sample code and examples illustrate best practices and programming techniques. In addition, the companion Web site includes downloadable code for all these examples along with a set of development tools to help you with your CF development projects.

The authors expertly zero in on what programmers need to understand for successful smart device programming, including:

• Garbage Collection in the .NET Compact Framework
• Controls and supported Properties, Methods, and Events (PMEs)
• Custom controls with Windows Forms Designer support
• Using Platform Invoke (P/Invoke)
• Simple and complex data binding and the DataGrid control
• Programming with ADO.NET data classes
• Synchronizing SQL Server CE with SQL Server 2000 databases
• Creating graphical output, including font and printing coding tricks
• Differences between the standard desktop framework and the CF

Derek Ferguson, .NET Developer's Journal
I take it with me into every introductory class that I give on the .NET Compact Framework. I have found that, in general, I know the answers to just about every question I get asked in such classes - but not all of them! In the cases where I can't, I simply wait for a break, then page through this book to find the answer - I've never been disappointed - I have always been able to find the answers here.

The Functional Approach to Programming

Author: Guy Cousineau

A programming course should concentrate on a program's logical structure and design rather than on simply writing code. The functional approach to programming achieves this aim because logical concepts are evident and programs are transparent, and so can be written quickly and cleanly. In this book, the authors emphasize the notions of function and relate programming to familiar concepts from mathematics and logic. They introduce functional programming via examples but also explain what programs compute and how to reason about them. They show how the ideas can be implemented in the Caml language, a dialect of the ML family, and give examples of how complex programs from a variety of areas (such as arithmetic, tree algorithms, graph algorithms, text parsing and geometry) can be developed in close agreement with their specifications. Many exercises and examples are included throughout the book; solutions are also available. An appendix gives all the code used in the book in Standard ML.
