Apress Announces the Release of Four New Titles by Award-winning Technical Author Matthew MacDonald


New York, NY (PRWEB) December 11, 2012

Bestselling-author Matthew MacDonald continues to offer the latest in Microsoft resources with his recent .NET releases from Apress Media. MacDonald, who has written close to 50 Apress titles in less than 3 years, has stayed current with the most recent technological updates and has revised two of his most popular books, thus accommodating both the C# and VB audiences. Beginning ASP.NET 4.5 in C#, Beginning ASP.NET 4.5 in VB, Pro WPF 4.5 in C#, and Pro WPF 4.5 in VB# put forth the most comprehensive up-to-date tutorials for these development technologies.

Beginning ASP.NET 4.5 for both languages follows in the footsteps of the highly successful .NET 2.0 and .NET 3.5 editions, teaching novice users how to use ASP.NET by building knowledge of the technology in a pyramidal fashion, chapter by chapter. Comprehensively revised to discuss Visual C# and Visual Basic (VB) languages, these books present a step-by-step guide to Microsofts most sophisticated web technology ever created, ASP.NET. For his Beginning titles, no previous coding experience is needed. Skills such as how to use object orientation and how to lay out code clearly are discussed in depth. Querying databases within web pages, using ASP.NET AJAX to make more complex layouts and how to deploy finished websites to production servers are all explained. Readers will learn how to troubleshoot issues that they may encounter along the way and how to debug code that could affect web projects as they grow.

Pro WPF 4.5 in C# and Pro WPF 4.5 in VB give an in-depth look at Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), the most popular and powerful way to create desktop applications for the Windows operating system. WPF is an extension of the .NET Framework and allows developers to take advantage of an extensive array of supporting frameworks to increase the simplicity and speed of their code samples. Microsoft developers find Pro WPF to be indispensable to their professional work and in these latest editions, Matthew MacDonald continues to provide a balanced mix of code samples and clear reasoning that has made the previous editions of his books so popular. The new versions will supply the required knowledge needed to build high-quality WPF applications quickly and easily in both C# and VB.

Next year, readers can look forward to more advanced pro versions of the ASP.NET 4.5 in C# and VB books, which will be co-authored by MacDonald, Mario Szpuszta, and bestselling-author Adam Freeman.
