PostGIS in Action - Free DownLoad

Book Description
PostGIS is an open source spatial database extender for PostgreSQL. It equals or surpasses proprietary alternatives, allowing you to create location-aware queries with just a few lines of SQL code, and provides a back-end for mapping applications with minimal effort.

PostGIS in Action teaches readers of all levels to write spatial queries that solve real-world problems. It first gives you a background in vector-based GIS and then quickly moves into analyzing, viewing, and mapping data. You'll learn how to optimize queries for maximum speed, simplify geometries for greater efficiency, and create custom functions for your own applications. The book covers PostgreSQL 8.4, 9.0, and 9.1 features and shows you how to integrate with other GIS tools.

What's Inside

  • An introduction to spatial databases
  • Geometry types, functions, and queries
  • Applying PostGIS to real-world problems
  • Extending PostGIS to web and desktop applications

Familiarity with relational database concepts is helpful but not required.

SharePoint 2010 Web Parts in Action - Free DownLoad

Book Description
If you look at a SharePoint application you'll find that most of its active components are Web Parts. SharePoint 2010 includes dozens of prebuilt Web Parts that you can use. It also provides an API that lets you build custom Web Parts using C# or VB.NET.

SharePoint 2010 Web Parts in Action is a comprehensive guide to deploying, customizing, and creating Web Parts. Countless examples walk you through everything from design, to development, deployment, troubleshooting, and upgrading. Because Web Parts are ASP.NET controls, you'll learn to use Visual Studio 2010 to extend existing Web Parts and to build custom components from scratch.

What's Inside

  • Using and configuring Web Parts
  • Web Part and portal best practices
  • Custom use cases, like mobile and international apps
  • Web Part design patterns

This book is written for application developers working with SharePoint 2010. Knowing Visual Studio 2010 is helpful but not required.
