Be the first to master SQL Server 2005's breakthrough database development capabilities
Few technologies have been as eagerly anticipated as Microsoft SQL Server 2005 ("Yukon"). Now, three SQL Server insiders deliver the definitive hands-on preview--accurate, comprehensive, and packed with examples. 
A First Look at SQL Server 2005 for Developers starts where Microsoft's white papers and Web articles leave off, showing working developers how to take full advantage of Yukon's key innovations. It draws on exceptional cooperation from Microsoft's Yukon developers and the authors' hands-on access to Yukon since its earliest alpha releases. 
You'll find practical explanations of Yukon's new data model, built-in .NET hosting, improved programmability, SQL-99 compliance, and much more. Virtually every key concept is illuminated via sample code tested with Microsoft's public beta. 
Key coverage includes: <li>Yukon as .NET runtime host: enhancing security, reliability, and performance</li> <li>Writing procedures, functions, and triggers in .NET languages</li> <li>Leveraging powerful new enhancements to T-SQL</li> <li>The XML data type and XML query languages</li> <li>SQL Server 2005 as a Web Services platform</li> <li>Client-side coding: ADO/ADO.NET enhancements, SQLXML, mapping, ObjectSpaces, and more </li> <li>Using SQL Server 2005's built-in application server capabilities</li>

"I come from a T-SQL background, so when I first laid my eyes on SQL Server 2005, I was shocked--and then, I was scared! I didn't have a CLR or XML background and suddenly had an urgent need to learn it. SQL Server 2005 is too big of a release to learn from the books online. Fortunately, now there is a book for developers who need to go from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005 and to do it as painlessly as possible. Basically, it's one-stop shopping for serious developers who have to get up to speed quickly. I'll keep this one on my desk--not on my bookshelf. Well done, Bob and Dan!" --Dr. Tom Moreau SQL Server MVP and Monthly Columnist SQL Server Professional, Brockman Moreau Consulting Inc. "A SQL book truly for developers, from two authorities on the subject. I'll be turning to this book first when I need to understand a component of SQL Server 2005." --Matt Milner Instructor Pluralsight "An excellent book for those of us who need to get up to speed on what's new in SQL Server 2005. The authors made sure this book includes the final information for the release version of the product. Most other books out now are based on beta versions. It covers key areas from XML and SQLCLR to Notification Services. Although the wide variety of information is great, my favorite part was the advice given on when to use what, and how performance is affected." --Laura Blood Senior Software Developer Blue Note Computing, Inc. "SQL Server 2005 is a massive release with a large number of new features. Many of these features were designed to make SQL Server a great application development platform. This book provides comprehensive information about the SQL Server features of most interest to application developers. The lucid text and wealth of examples will give a developer a clear understanding of how to use SQL Server 2005 to a whole new class of database applications. It should be on every SQL Server developer's bookshelf." --Roger Wolter Solutions Architect Microsoft Corporation "While there will be a lot of good books on SQL Server 2005 development, when people refer to the 'bible,' they'll be talking about this book." --Dr. Greg Low Senior Consultant Readify Pty Ltd "SQL Server 2005 is loaded with new features and getting a good overview is essential to understand how you can benefit from SQL Server 2005's features as a developer. Bob and Dan's book goes beyond enumerating the new SQL Server 2005 features, and will provide you with lots of good examples. They did a good job striking a balance between overview and substance." --Michiel Wories Senior Program Manager, SQL Server Microsoft Corporation Few technologies have been as eagerly anticipated as Microsoft SQL Server 2005.

What developers need to know about the rapidly growing technologies of document warehousing and text mining This unique book shows warehouse developers and managers how to build this new type of warehouse, how to organize free-form text for easy access, and, most importantly, how to exploit text mining techniques to provide timely and accurate information for decision-makers. The author covers the complete process of building and managing a document warehouse, including examples of actual implementations, a review of security issues and tools such as XML and Wide Area Information Servers and their selection criteria, and how text mining techniques are different from data mining techniques.

Entertaining as well as thoughtful, the two dozen easily read stories and essays in ZERO illustrate the notion of something from nothing. Richly illustrated with "real life" photographs by Dan Sullivan, the book is the first released in a series of four inspirational volumes, each of which gently reflects the mathematical symbolism of its title. Other titles in the series include ONE, TWO, and MANY. In ZERO, the reader is invited on a metaphorical tour of zero-concepts that will spur the spiritual imagination. Consider a society with zero evil; a city with zero fences; life with zero words, zero profanity, zero choices, or zero rainbows. First there is nothing. Then there is something. Non-zero, Being, life, existence, presence, light fullness. In-between nothing and something is creation. Highly creative itself, ZERO adds an "ordinary" element to the mystical world-view.
