Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is included with the Windows operating system and provides a programming model for building applications that provide a clear separation between the UI and business logic. Written by a leading expert on Microsoft graphics programming, this richly illustrated book provides an introduction to WPF development and explains fundamental WPF concepts.

Packed with helpful examples, this reference progresses through a range of topics that gradually increase in their complexity. You’ll quickly start building applications while you learn how to use both Expression Blend and Visual Studio to build UIs. In addition, the book addresses the needs of programmer who write the code behind the UI and shows you how operations can be performed using both XAML and C#.

Performance is critical to the success of any web site, and yet today's web applications push browsers to their limits with increasing amounts of rich content and heavy use of Ajax.

In this book, Steve Souders, web performance evangelist at Google and former Chief Performance Yahoo!, provides valuable techniques to help you optimize your site's performance.

Souders' previous book, the bestselling High Performance Web Sites, shocked the web development world by revealing that 80% of the time it takes for a web page to load is on the client side.

In Even Faster Web Sites, Souders and eight expert contributors provide best practices and pragmatic advice for improving your site's performance in three critical categories:

• javascript - Get advice for understanding Ajax performance, writing efficient javascript, creating responsive applications, loading scripts without blocking other components, and more.
  
  
• Network-Learn to share resources across multiple domains, reduce image size without loss of quality, and use chunked encoding to render pages faster.
  
  
• Browser-Discover alternatives to iframes, how to simplify CSS selectors, and other techniques.
  

Speed is essential for today's rich media web sites and Web 2.0 applications. With this book, you'll learn how to shave precious seconds off your sites' load times and make them respond even faster.

What are the differences between the two most popular UNIT testing frameworks in the .NET world: the open source NUnit and the commercial MsTest.

Here’s a short list of what i remember instantly:

• Nunit contains a [TestCase] attribute that allows implementing parametrized tests. this does not exist in msTest
  
  
• MsTest's ExpectedException attribute has a bug where the expected message is never really asserted even if it's wrong - the test will pass.
  
  
• Nunit has an Assert.Throws API to allow testing an exception on a specific line of code instead of the whole method (you can easily implement this one yourself though)
  
  
• Nunit contains a fluent version of Assert api (as already mentioned - Assert.That..)
  
  
• Nunit is much faster
  
  
• NUnit can run tests in 32 and 64 bit (MSTest only runs them in 32 bit IIRC)
  
  
• NUnit allows abstract classes to be test fixtures (so you can inherit test fixtures). MsTest does not.
  
  
• NUnit allows non public classes to be test fixtures (as of the latest version)
  
  
• NUnit was created SOLELY for the idea of unit testing. MsTest was created for Testing - and also a bit of unit testing.
  
  
• NUnit contains PNunit (running prallel tests with Nunit). MsTest only adds this ability in vs 2010
  

given all these – MsTest has much better abilities for integration based testing (all these are things Nunit doesn’t even want to have):

• Ability to do data-driven tests from a db data source
  
  
• Ability to do performance testing
  
  
• Ability to determine the order of tests (ordered tests)
  
  
• Ability to easily setup and teardown and generate database data
  
  
• Great integration with team system reporting for LOADS of statistics
  

having said all these:

if you’re working with team system, I’d use MsTest. the integration with other team system tools and reporting is just beyond compare and the reporting alone helps alot to find recurring breaking tests, code churn vs. new tests and others.

Happy coding!
