Dear Young Friend (Stackpole Classics)
by Stanley Weintraub Rodelle Del WeintraubJust a few of the words of presidential wisdom found in Dear Young Friend:&“I rejoice that you have learnt to write,…for as this is done with a goosequill, you know the value of a goose.&” –Thomas Jefferson, to his granddaughter, Cornelia Randolph&“As to the whiskers, having never worn any, do you not think people would call it a bit of silly affection if were to begin now?&” –Abraham Lincoln to Grace Bedell&“If we are successful [in the election], it will not be handsome behavior for any of my family to exhibit exultation or talk boastingly, or be in vain about it.&” –Rutherford B. Hayes, to his son &“Ruddy&”&“The other sixty cents are for my other six grandchildren. They are not born yet.&” –Theodore Roosevelt, to Marjorie Sterrett, who was collecting dimes to fund a battleship&“The John Birchers are just Ku Klux without the nightshirts.&” –Harry Truman to David S. McCracken&“If you really believe, you will see them. My [Irish] &‘little people&’ are very small, wear tall black stovepipe hats, green coats and pants, and have long, white beards.&” –John Kennedy to Mark Aaron PerduePresidents since Washington have written to children. Chief executives prior to the overwhelmingly busy present even went through the White House mail themselves, choosing what to answer—a task in the e-mail age now impossible. Some earlier presidents, even as late as Eisenhower, confided opinions to young people that they rarely confessed to their peers. The letters range in subject form the monumental to the immaterial—although almost nothing is insignificant to a child.

Gone Fishin' (Stackpole Classics)
by Charles ElliottMaster story teller Charlie Elliott says it perfectly in this book for all fishermen: &“Whether you are a fresh water Walton or the owner of a yacht, plowing the depths beyond the sight of land for a long-billed monster of the sea, you are seeking out the quiet aquatic spaces of the earth for a reason more compelling than to satisfy your stomach juices.&“Whenever you assemble your tackler, there are latent questions in your mind. What adventure awaits you just beyond the river bend, or when you beach your boat where the forest marches down to meet the laek? What delightful memory will you bring home, or what bizarre hair graying thrill could encounter you unexpectedly where the water trails run out and stop?&“Those are not the only reasons you fish, by any stretch of nylon thread. Whether you are out for salmon or for lunker bass, of grayling or bonefish, your premeditated design of the day calls for out-thinking, out- maneuvering and then out-battling some wary old mossback of the depths or shallows. But as an adjunct to this high ideal, you are also seeking many other things which add immeasurably more to your day than meant on your table. You&’re looking for sunshine on the water, the refrigerated glades, the bonds of friendship between strong men. Your diversions of the day include a hundred adventures not listed in a fishing guide.&”

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.
