whitepaper Exploring Secrets of .NET Keystroke Handling2008-10-23 JupiterMedia
  Few areas in .NET are seemingly as simple yet deceptively challenging as processing keyboard inputs. This situation is exacerbated because neither the MSDN documentation nor any of the excellent .NET support websites provide comprehensive, practical details about handling keystrokes. Enter Keystroke Sandbox, a small application developed just for this paper. Keystroke Sandbox shows graphically what happens when one presses a single key or a combination of keys. Furthermore, it lets the user customize its environment at runtime to emulate a variety of the most common Windows Forms application patterns, including both enabling/disabling controls to receive or ignore input as well as simulating consuming keystrokes at different stages and using different controls.

whitepaper A Comparison of J2EE and .NET as Platforms for Teaching Web Services2008-10-23 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
  .NET and J2EE are the two leading technologies in enterprise-level application development. They are also the platforms of choice for developing Web services. This paper compare the two platforms using parameters such as features present in each platform, tools and resources offered by the two and compatibility with the rest of the curriculum. .NET offers integrated, native support for various phases of Web services development, while the Java platform achieves this with several new libraries. The paper compare the Web-services development process in IBM's Websphere (for J2EE) and Microsoft's Visual Studio .NET and find them remarkably similar.

whitepaper Opening Access to Office Information With OOXML2008-10-20 PSC Group
  As the leading ratings expert in a media market, this company's production consisted of sorting and processing large amounts of data to create Microsoft Power Point presentations of charts and tables that clients used to sell advertising. The company wanted to find a way to manipulate an exponential increase in data to produce marketing products at a pace demanded by clients. The PSC developers created an OOXML solution that has the ability to build stand-alone applications that can access the contents of documents logically, without actually having to know the ins and outs of the format itself. Microsoft .NET Framework was used to create a control panel that both selected the files to load and to manipulate.

whitepaper Ruby Comes to the .NET Platform: Find Out Why .NET Programmers May Want to Learn and Use Ruby, and Discover the Core Syntax of the Language2008-10-20 JupiterMedia
  Microsoft's IronRuby project brings a powerful and fun dynamic language to the Windows platform. The Ruby programming language is a modern, object-oriented scripting language, with a syntax inspired by languages such as Perl and Smalltalk. It was conceived by Yukihiro Matsumoto (aka "Matz"). In his words, Matz wanted a language that was "More powerful than Perl and more object-oriented than Python". The language is designed to feel natural; something Matz calls the "Principle of least surprise." Version 1.0 of the language was released in 1996. For several years, Ruby existed as a little-known scripting language that excelled in the tasks for which it was originally designed: manipulating data and environment with the least amount of effort.
