Imagine a publisher who wants to "stamp" his ebooks on the fly with the name of the buyer (to discourage sharing). Such a publisher would (and we know one who does) use iText for the task. Developers looking to enhance web- and other applications with dynamic PDF document generation and/or manipulation will find this book unique in content and readability. Based on ongoing examples that encourage learning "in action," they will finally understand PDF and learn how to build applications that produce professional, high-quality PDF documents. While the basic functionality of iText is easy to acquire, this book lowers the learning curve for more advanced functionality. It explains how to use iText to create/manipulate PDF documents on-the-fly in one or more of the following situations:
All the examples are written in Java, but they can be easily adapted to .NET by developers using one of the .NET ports: iTextSharp (C#) or iText.NET (#J). While iText is a free Java library and the examples are written from the point of view of the Java developer, nine out of ten examples can be run by .NET developers with only minimal changes.

Real World ASP.NET: Building a Content Management System provides Web developers with a cost-effective way to develop a content management system within Microsoft's .NET Framework. Unlike other .NET books on ASP.NET that teach technologies on a piecemeal basis, this book explains the underlying technologies and also shows how they are integrated into a complete ASP.NET application suitable for many organizations. Complete source code written in C# and ASP.NET is included, which will enable Web developers to create a dynamic content site at a fraction of the cost of a commercial solution. Readers will learn about the following:
- Content management system: This system used to manage the content of a Web site consists of the content management, metacontent management, and content delivery applications.
- C# and ASP.NET: These underlying technologies are introduced and then applied extensively.
- ADO.NET: All aspects relevant to dynamic content management are covered.
- XML: Extensible Markup Language (XML) is introduced and then applied in the programmatic updating of the config.web file.
- Authentication, authorization, and encryption: These topics are discussed in the book, especially with regard to protected content and system administration.
- Personalization: Many key technologies are used to make the CMS solution truly user-friendly.
Real-World ASP.NET: Building a Content Management System is the complete hands-on guide to mastering the art of CMSs and Web site development using the .NET Framework.

C# is the hot new language from Microsoft, designed specifically for the new .NET platform for application development. Visual C# .NET Programming provides a comprehensive introduction to the principals of C# programming but has a different emphasis from many other books. Because the language is so well-suited to the creation of Web Services, author Harold Davis emphasizes this application throughout the book. In the beginning of the book, you create a simple Web Service; by the end, you will be able to create a much more complex Web Service. You also learn the fundamentals of object-oriented programming with C#, creating user interfaces for Windows applications, working with files and directories, and working with XML and ADO.NET. Davis has an established reputation as a teacher of introductory programming concepts. This book is the perfect companion to his Visual Basic .NET Programming.
