Describing how the Assembly language can be used to develop highly effective C++ applications, this guide covers the development of 32-bit applications for Windows. Areas of focus include optimizing high-level logical structures, creating effective mathematical algorithms, and working with strings and arrays. Code optimization is considered for the Intel platform, taking into account features of the latest models of Intel Pentium processors and how using Assembly code in C++ applications can improve application processing. The use of an assembler to optimize C++ applications is examined in two ways, by developing and compiling Assembly modules that can be linked with the main program written in C++ and using the built-in assembler. Microsoft Visual C++ .Net 2003 is explored as a programming tool, and both the MASM 6.14 and IA-32 assembler compilers, which are used to compile source modules, are considered.

Pro SQL Server 2005 Service Broker, by Klaus Aschenbrenner, an international expert on Service Broker, explains why Microsoft introduced Service Broker and describes its big advantages over prior message technologies.

Rich with practical examples, this is the most complete and incisive book on this important new technology, an invaluable resource for all serious database and web developers. Focused on best practices, it explains in detail how Service Broker supports and enhances database and web applications. This book not only covers Service Broker fundamentals, but also addresses current crucial topics like SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture) and SODA (Service-Oriented Data Architecture).

Devoted entirely to PivotTables and PivotCharts, this book shows you how to take full advantage of these powerful tools, which enable you to pull meaningful information from masses of seemingly meaningless data. Loaded with illustrations and real-world examples, it takes you step by step through creating a PivotTable; formatting, filtering, and grouping data; creating PivotCharts from those data; and more. You’ll learn to work with multidimensional data, how to create and manipulate PivotTables using VBA, and—most importantly—you’ll discover what these tools can do for you.
