Low-Code Development with Xomega.NET: Generate .NET Apps for Blazor, MAUI, WPF, ASP.NET, and TypeScript
by Serghei SarafudinovQuickly build robust, data-driven .NET applications in Visual Studio using Xomega, an extensible low-code platform. Use simple but flexible Xomega model structures to model your application domain entities, services, UI objects, and views. Instead of spending your time writing boilerplate plumbing code, this platform enables you to stay focused on big-picture issues like your business domain and the structure of your application. Once you define your application models, Xomega allows you to generate all layers of your application, producing high-quality, customizable source code organized as per the best-practice architectures for multi-tier, enterprise-grade applications. Your application will leverage our powerful open-source Xomega Framework, which helps you write clean, reusable, and testable code. Coupled with code generation, it will guarantee consistent behavior and look-and-feel across your entire app, which can also reduce maintenance costs later on. What You Will Learn Create a Blazor solution pre-configured for the selected architecture and frameworks using industry best practices. Import initial domain model from a database and enrich it with static data, services and presentation models. Iteratively model services and UI views for a powerful list screen with flexible search criteria. Iteratively model CRUD services and presentation for a complex full-fledged details screen. Continuously generate application code from the models for all layers and add custom code as needed. Implement password authentication and multi-layer claims-based security for accessing app data and functionality. Who This Book Is For This book is for .NET developers who are looking to quickly and efficiently build .NET apps using low code.

The Psychology of Coming Out: Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Identities
by Rusi JaspalUntil now, dominant models of sexual identity development have overlooked the interpersonal process of coming out to somebody significant. None interrogate the implications of coming out for the total identity of the individual. In this elegant and original book, Rusi Jaspal proposes an integrative theoretical framework within which the psychological antecedents, consequences, and experiences of coming out can be collectively examined. Drawing on case studies and the first-hand accounts of over 500 lesbian, gay, and bisexual people regarding their coming out experiences, this book forces us to re-think the notion that we now live a &“post-gay era&” in which coming out no longer matters. It explores themes, such as identity authenticity, interpersonal relationships, identity invalidation, rejection, microaggressions, gaslighting, and ghosting. The Psychology of Coming Out: Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Identities is an invaluable resource for students, academics, and practitioners interested in the psychology of coming out.
