MS-Access ve SQL Server yard?m?yla geli?tirdi?im 100’e yak?n veritaban? uygulama programlar?yla devam etti. 1996’da Dallas’ta MCI Systemhouse’da FrontPage ve Access 95’le veritaban?na dayal? Intranet web siteleri geli?tiren ilk ki?ilerden birisi ben oldum. 1999’da Movo Mediya’da ilk ??p?atan web sitesi www.dating.com'un?arkas?ndaki SQL Server veritabanlar?n? tasarlayan ve y?neten ki?i de bendim. 2000 y?l?nda Aris Genesis Intermedia Inc’de web tabanl? muhasebe program?n?n arkas?ndaki SQL Server veritaban? tasar?mc?lar?ndan biriside bendim. Büyük al??veri? merkezlerinde g?rülen Kiosk’lar?n SQL Server tabanl? ilk uygulamas?n? Los Angeles’de kuran Genesis Intermedia Inc’deki tasar?mlar? yapan ki?ilerden birisi de bendim. 2001’de Los Angeles’de SQL Server ve ASP 3.0’la Citibank’ta kredi kartlar?yla ilgili projenin mimarlar?ndan biriside bendim. K?sacas? Veritabanlar?n?n Web’de kullan?lmas?nda ilk ?al??an ve tasarlayanlardan birisi oldu?umu s?ylemeliyim. 1995-2000 y?llar? aras?nda ya?anan ve dot com bom olarak bilinen metaforun i?inde bir fiil ?al??an ve yarat?c?lar?ndan birisiydim. Veritabanlar?n?n Internet’e ba?lanmas? i?in geli?tirilen ilk projelerinde uzun y?llar Kalifornya, New York ve Colorado firmalar?nda ?al??t?m ve dan??manl?k yapt?m. Bu tecrübelerim s?ras?nda ??rendi?im en ?nemli ?ey; tek bir konuda uzman olmak gerekti?idir. Ben Ms-Access ve SQL Server veritabanlar? tasar?m?nda uzmanla?t?m. Bir?ok teklif olmas?na ra?men Oracle, DB2, Aproach, File Maker gibi veritabanlar? tasar?mlar?yla ilgilenmedim ?ünkü her biri ayr? bir uzmanl?k isteyen veritaban? yaz?l?mlar?d?r. Bu a??dan ?zellikle Bili?im sekt?ründe ?al??anlara verebilece?im en ?nemli tavsiye tek bir konuda hatta tek bir programda uzmanla?malar?d?r. Kitapta Veritabanlar? tasar?m?n? Access ve SQL Server projeleri üzerinden anlatmaya ?al??t?m. University of Phoenix’de verdi?im Veritabanlar? ve Veri Ambarlar? ders notlar?m bu kitab?n omurgas?n? olu?turmaktad?r. Veritabanlar?yla ilgili kavramlar?, felsefesini, tasar?m?n? ve birazda y?netimini detaylar?yla anlatmaya ?al??t?m.

An in-depth guide to exploring the design, architecture, and techniques behind building sophisticated, scalable, and maintainable single-page applications in JavaScriptAbout This Book·Build large-scale, feature-complete SPAs by leveraging widely used tools and techniques.·Gain a solid understanding of architecture and SPA design to build applications using the library or framework of your choice.·Explore the various facets of SPA development to build web apps that are fast, scalable, and easy to test.Who This Book Is ForThis book is ideal for JavaScript developers who want to build complex single-page applications in JavaScript. Some basic understanding of SPA concepts will be helpful but not essential.What You Will Learn·Organize your development environment using the command line with NPM, Bower, and Grunt.·Choose an accurate design pattern for your app·Understand modular JavaScript programming and Node.js·Interact with a REST API using JavaScript and AJAX with practical examples·Build a single page application using the MEAN stack·Connect your app across popular social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn·Test your app, both on the server side and in views·Prepare your app for the real world and deploy it to HerokuIn DetailSingle-page web applications—or SPAs, as they are commonly referred to—are quickly becoming the de facto standard for web app development. The fact that a major part of the app runs inside a single web page makes it very interesting and appealing. Also, the accelerated growth of browser capabilities is pushing us closer to the day when all apps will run entirely in the browser.This book will take your JavaScript development skills to the next level by teaching you to create a single-page application within a full-stack JavaScript environment. Using only JavaScript, you can go from being a front-end developer to a full-stack application developer with relative ease.You will learn to cross the boundary from front-end development to server-side development through the use of JavaScript on both ends. Use your existing knowledge of JavaScript by learning to manage a JSON document data store with MongoDB, writing a JavaScript powered REST API with Node.js and Express, and designing a front-end powered by AngularJS.This book will teach you to leverage the MEAN stack to do everything from document database design, routing REST web API requests, data-binding within views, and adding authentication and security to building a full-fledged, complex, single-page web application.In addition to building a full-stack JavaScript app, you will learn to test it with JavaScript-powered testing tools such as Mocha, Karma, and Jasmine. Finally, you will learn about deployment and scaling so that you can launch your own apps into the real world.Style and approachFollowing a structured approach, this book helps readers gain expertise in SPA development. Its thorough coverage of SPA architecture and design, along with practical use cases, provides readers with a clear path to building applications with the library of their choice. For readers who are afraid to take the plunge straightaway, the book also offers step-by-step guidance on developing a complex web app.

You're already a smart person, you don't need a 1000+ page book to get you started on the web's fastest growing programming platform. Instead, Learn Python in One Hour delivers on the promise of code literacy while saving your most precious commodity - time itself. Volkman's innovative programming-by-example approach means you focus on usage, not mindless detail. Based on the author's sold-out live seminars, you'll see Python's flexible coding technique in action as we refactor from script to procedural to object-oriented during actual problem solving. In a seven-lesson progression, you'll be exposed to this and more: Basic file input and output operations Exception handling with try/except Using functions to compute and return multiple values Basic elements of a class definition and how to call methods Lists, dictionaries, sets, and other collections Iteration through collections, files, sorted sets Converting lists to strings and vice-versa Six most common Python pitfalls Take the One Hour challenge and see if you too can pick up 90% of syntax and semantics in less time than you probably spend commuting each day.About the Author Victor R. Volkman graduated cum laude from Michigan Technological University with a BS in Computer Science in 1986. Since then, he has written for numerous publications, including The C Gazette, C++ Users Journal, Windows Developers Journal, and many others. He has taught college-level programming courses at Washtenaw Community College and has served on its Computer Information Science (CIS) Faculty Advisory Board for more than a decade. Volkman says Python helped him "rediscover the joy of programming again." www.volkman.org From Modern Software Press
