Book SynopsisIf you are a developer who wants to learn the basic skills of web and application programming interfaces (APIs) with .NET, this book is your complete introduction. The book takes a learn-by-experience approach. You will hit the ground running with a sample project that has everything you need to be wired up. As you follow along, you will learn simple and intuitive conventions that will free you from some of the more tedious decisions and work, in order to allow you to focus on the business requirements required by your team. Certain components of the framework should always appear in certain folders in the solution to speed up development while others need a name that follows particular conventions. You will learn the building blocks of Web API and how to leverage them to have a well-rounded API. Understanding these small but important tricks will make development faster, easier, and more pleasant, and will prevent time-consuming errors. Part I introduces you to the basics of Web.

Book SynopsisThe first biography of George Rickey, one of the greatest kinetic sculptors of the 20th century. His moving blades, squares, triangles, and circles can be found in museums and public spaces around the world, from bucolic landscapes to the streets of New York City. Now, here is the story of his life, his times, and his vision of balance that created something new―sculpture that is defined by movement.Before his death in 2002, George Rickey created more than 3,000 moving sculptures, including hundreds of major outdoor installations. His “useless machines,” as he called them, achieved complete rotation, used multiple variations of the pendulum, and delighted viewers with the joyride effects of conical movement. George Rickey: A Life in Balance follows the life of a renowned artist―first a painter, then a sculptor―who found inspiration all around him―as a child visiting the Singer Sewing Machine factory managed by his father, in his adventurous youth in the London and Paris art studios of the 1920s, as an engineer in the Army Air Corps during World War II, and later as a pioneer in academic art programs around the United States when he embarked on the sculpture he became famous for.But this is not only the story of a single artist’s creativity and achievement but of Rickey’s life in the larger context of the twentieth century: from Depression-era America to the upheaval of World War II, from the rise of New York as the world’s art capital at mid-century to the tumultuous 1960s, when Rickey emerged as an international figure rubbing elbows with Alexander Calder, David Smith, Christo, and many others. It is also the story of an exceptional marriage and of Rickey’s charismatic, devoted wife, Edith Leighton, who managed her husband’s career and reputation in the high-powered art circles of New York, Berlin, and Los Angeles.Belinda Rathbone (author of The Boston Raphael and Walker Evans: A Biography) has captured the spirit of an artist and his world in this deeply researched and engrossing biography. George Rickey: A Life in Balance is for any reader fascinated by the lives of artists, the creation of enduring art, or twentieth century modernism. Includes 30 photographs that document Rickey’s life and work.Trade Review“George Rickey: A Life in Balance has everything a biography should have: up-close-and-personal first person accounts of the day-to-day life of an artist. An engaging and page-turning portrait.”—The ArtsFuse “Rathbone has written a model artist’s biography. She deftly interweaves life and art, showing how Rickey’s real-world experiences shaped his evolving aesthetic. She discusses [his art] with authority and insight…”—The New Criterion “This biography, much like the artist’s sculptures, is a wise, balanced, and enjoyable creation, capturing Rickey’s life and character with a light, sure touch.”—Scottish Art News "Like one of his sculptures, George Rickey: A Life in Balance has many moving parts that . . . gracefully twist and turn to tell a very personal and public story. It feels like a Rickey revival.”—Hyperallergic “Rathbone’s marvelously readable biography succeeds in bringing the Rickeys and the world in which they lived into timely focus.”—Santa Barbara Independent “In her enthralling biography, Belinda Rathbone traces George Rickey’s long Wanderjahre—artistic, intellectual and erotic—across Europe and the United States, and shows how his dual training in art and engineering helped him re-invent kinetic sculpture for the postwar era. In the second half of the book, Rickey’s tempestuous marriage to Edie Leighton provides a dramatic counterpoint to his growing professional success. From beginning to end, Rathbone adeptly explores the mysteries of art and love.”—Pepe Karmel, author of Abstract Art: A Global History “If you’re of a mindset (like I typically am) that biographies are dry (whereas memoirs aren’t), you’ll be captivated by Rathbone’s exceptional prose and impeccable research.”—Lorraine Kleinwaks, Enchanted Prose“Belinda Rathbone’s George Rickey: A Life in Balance is far more than a portrait of the artist, although with deft strokes and canny perspectives this master biographer renders a fully satisfying account of an energetically lived life. But there is this, too: a skillfully told history of twentieth century art, from Cubism to Constructivism and beyond, woven into the life story of a brilliant and influential practitioner whose working years spanned six decades and whose circles of association reached across the globe. Read George Rickey to be inspired, educated, and immersed in what the sculptor called his ‘box of colors,’ the stunning elements of his visual vocabulary Rathbone names: gravity, momentum, inertia, rotation, acceleration.” —Megan Marshall, author of Margaret Fuller: A New American Life and Elizabeth Bishop: A Miracle for Breakfast “Deftly navigating a massive archive of personal letters, notebooks, and interviews, Rathbone humanizes George Rickey, an artist-intellectual whose kinetic sculptures are canonical in the history of postwar modernism. She presents the man intimately: his childhood in Scotland, his elite education, his years as a painter, his teaching, writing and worldly travels, his international recognition, and his friends and family, especially his spirited wife Edie. Rathbone’s brilliant research and incisive narration basks in George Rickey’s good company as well as his mechanical wizardry.” —Wanda M. Corn, author of The Great American Thing: Modern Art and National Identity, 1915-1955 “Belinda Rathbone has crafted a superb and deeply researched biography. She constructs a narrative that adroitly chronicles the life of the great kinetic sculptor George Rickey, deeply erudite, intellectual, and creative man, and his tumultuous era. Equally satisfying and timely is Rathbone's fascinating portrayal of the powerful alliance between Rickey and his charming, strong-willed wife, Edie Rickey.”—Gabrielle Selz, author of Light on Fire: The Art and Life of Sam Francis

Book SynopsisHIGHLIGHT An insider’s perspective on the new ASP.NET MVC version 2 framework, expected to be released early-mid 2010. DESCRIPTION Microsoft ASP.NET MVC (model/view/controller) is a relatively new Web application framework that combines ASP.NET’s power and ease of use with the stability and testability of a MVC framework. The much-anticipated version 2 release brings new capabilities to the framework along with numerous additions that enhance developer productivity. In ASP.NET MVC 2 in Action, readers learn how to move from web form-based development to designs based on the MVC pattern. It begins with an introduction to the MVC framework and quickly dives into a working MVC 2 project. Featuring full coverage of new version 2 features, this book helps readers use developer-oriented upgrades like “Areas” to break a large project into smaller pieces and explore the new data handling tools. This revised edition adds a completely new tutorial to bring developers with no prior exposure to the MVC pattern up to speed quickly, keeping its focus on providing high-quality, professional grade examples that go deeper than the other ASP.NET MVC books.
