This title shows developers how to build Internet-based, distributed applications using Microsoft .NET Remoting, which enables powerful remote interaction among objects. A fundamental understanding of .NET Remoting is crucial as developers shift to developing distributed, Internet-based applications. Until recently, DCOM was the preferred method for developing distributed applications on Microsoft platforms. But as this book demonstrates, the .NET Remoting architecture is much easier to use and extend than DCOM. The book covers all aspects of .NET Remoting, including in-depth coverage of the .NET Remoting architecture plus concrete examples, best practices, and performance tips to show how to extend and customize the framework. <ul>
<li>Provides developers with deep design and implementation guidance to help them build better distributed applications on the Microsoft .NET Framework</li> <li>One third of the book introduces readers to the basics of using .NET Remoting to develop distributed application</li> <li>Two-thirds of the book covers advanced features of .NET Remoting plus details on how to extend and customize the framework</li>

Building Health Promotion Capacity: Action for Learning, Learning from Action

Building Health Promotion Capacity explores the professional practice of health promotion, and the means through which individuals and organizations become more effective in supporting and undertaking such practice. The concepts of “capacity” and “capacity-building” are used to structure this exploration. Simply put, capacity refers to those qualities or characteristics that enable people to do something.The book is based on the experiences of the Building Health Promotion Capacity Project (1998–2003), a continuing education and applied research initiative affiliated with the Saskatchewan Heart Health Program. This project was designed to study the process of capacity development through taking action to enhance the health promotion capacity of practitioners and regional health districts in Saskatchewan.For health promotion practitioners, this book provides a coherent framework for effective professional practice in the field. Leaders in health sector organizations will acquire a greater understanding of how to support health promotion practice and of how to recruit and develop individual practitioners with a high level of capacity. Policy makers will learn characteristics of environments that are supportive of the health promotion capacity of individuals and organizations. Scholars will acquire an understanding of the nature of health promotion capacity and a methodology for studying such capacity.

Sport is increasingly being described as a complex system. This inherent complexity cannot be understood by examining components in isolation; rather, the system as a whole should represent the unit of analysis. Systems thinking is the answer to understanding this complexity and is gaining traction in sport. Systems thinking provides a philosophy and a set of associated methods which can be used to understand and optimise the behaviour of complex systems, such as those inherent within sport. This book presents, for the first time, a practical guide to applying contemporary systems thinking methods in sport as well as case study applications demonstrating how their outputs can be translated in practice. The methods described in this book can be used for better understanding the systemic influences in a broad range of sport contexts, including performance, injury, team functioning, decision&#8209;making, adverse incidents, sports organisation design and redesign, technology implementation, and proactive risk assessments. Systems Thinking Methods in Sport provides a practical step&#8209;by&#8209;step guide for sports practitioners and stakeholders, as well as university students and academics in applying state&#8209;of&#8209;the&#8209;art systems thinking methods to sport.

The .NET Framework creates a level playing field upon which all languages are equal, so using C++ to develop your Windows applications is no guarantee of high performance. However, Visual C++ .NET is the only language that's capable of mixing managed and unmanaged code, offering ways to integrate your existing code base with new .NET development that no other language can match. Additionally, the expansion of ATL into web application programming brings with it the possibility of writing web services that outperform anything developed in ASP.NET. 
In this book, we provide you with a guide to both paths. In the first half, we explore the .NET Framework and examine its properties in C++ terms. In the second, we see that traditional C++ programming still has a big part to play on the stage of distributed computing. 
What does the book cover? Changes and improvements to the Visual C++ IDE Complete introduction to using the Managed Extensions for C++ The role of attributes in .NET and COM programming Assemblies, and their support for strong naming and versioning Interoperation between managed and unmanaged code The RCW mechanism for COM and .NET interoperability ATL 7.0, ATL Server, and ATL Server web services The .NET Framework as a Windows class library
