Their vaguely humanoid faces reflect the spectacular evolution of their hearing and vision, which has made flight, romance, and predation possible in the near absence of light. This accessible guide, full of intriguing anecdotes, covers all 19 species of owls occurring in North America. More than an identification guide, Field Guide to Owls of California and the West describes the biology and behavior of owls to make finding and identifying them easier and watching them more enjoyable. The guide also explores the conservation challenges that owls face and tells how owls provide insights to scientists working in fields from technology to health. * Color plates illustrate each species * Range maps show the western distribution of North America's owls, 14 of which occur in California * Offers tips for finding and watching owls * Gives information on how to design, place, and maintain nest boxes * Describes human attitudes toward owls through history, including in Native American cultures of the WestCalifornia Natural History GuidesOwlsCaliforniaOwlsWest (U.S.)Electronic books.OwlsOwls598.9/7Peeters Hans J1055060MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456791803321Field guide to owls of California and the West2488174UNINA05014nam 2200709Ia 450 991077790980332120200520144314.01-281-88696-397866118869671-84719-551-2(CKB)1000000000778880(EBL)978103(OCoLC)806205247(SSID)ssj0000332116(PQKBManifestationID)11248310(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000332116(PQKBWorkID)10330594(PQKB)11562807(Au-PeEL)EBL978103(CaPaEBR)ebr10448371(CaONFJC)MIL188696(MiAaPQ)EBC978103(PPN)228011256(EXLCZ)99100000000077888020090730d2008 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrASP.NET 3.5 application architecture and design[electronic resource] build robust, scalable ASP.NET applications quickly and easily /Vivek ThakurBirmingham, UK Packt Publishingc20081 online resource (260 p.)Includes index.1-84719-550-4 Cover; Table of Content; Preface; Chapter 1: Introduction to Architecture and Design; Software Architecture; Software Design; Architectural Styles; Architecture and Design in ASP.NET; Technology and Art; Architecture: First Steps; Design Patterns; Project Life Cycle; Project Initiation; Project Planning and Prototyping; Project Plan; Use Case Design; Prototyping; Class Model; Database Model; Project Construction: Programming and Development; Project Transition and Release; Tiers and Layers; Physical Separation; Logical Separation; Single Tier-Single Layer Model; Single Tier-Two Layer ModelSingle Tier-Three Layer ModelTwo Tier Model; Two Tier-Two Layer Model; Three Tier Model; Summary; Chapter 2: 1-Tier 1-Layer Architecture in ASP.NET; Default N-Tier Nature of Web Applications; Classic ASP Style: Inline Coding; Sample Project using Inline Code; Code-Behind Model: The Second UI Layer; Sample Project using Code-Behind; Limitations of Coding in the UI Layer; Data Source Controls; A Sample Project using inbuilt Data Source Controls; Summary; Chapter 3: ER Diagrams, Domain Model, and N-Layer Architecture; Entity-Relationship Diagram; Degree and Cardinality of a RelationshipOMS Project using 2-LayerSample Project; Domain Model using UML; Class Diagram; UML Relationships; Dependency Relationship; Association Relationship; Generalization Relationship; Realization Relationship; Multiplicity; 1-tier 3-layer Architecture using a Domain Model; Layer 1: Data Access Layer (DAL); Layer 2: Business Layer (BL); Layer 3: The UI Layer; Object Data Source Controls; Summary; Chapter 4: N-Tier Architecture; Why N-Tier?; Performance; Scalability; Re-usability; Loose-Coupling; Plug and Play; A 4-Tier Approach; 5-Tier Architecture; Data Transfer Objects; Lazy LoadingUpdating Business ObjectsGUI Tier; Generics and Custom Collections; Summary; Chapter 5: Model View Controller; Page Controller Pattern in ASP.NET; Problems with Page Controller Design; GUI Unit Testing; MVC Design: A Front Controller based Approach; Front Controller Design; Basics of MVC; REST: Representation State Transfer; MVC and REST; ASP.NET MVC Framework; Sample Project; URL Routing Engine; The Controller; The View; The Model; Wiring Controller, Model, and View; Unit Testing and ASP.NET MVC; Summary; Chapter 6: Design Patterns; Understanding Design Patterns; History of PatternsSingleton PatternUnderstanding Singleton with Code Example; Factory Method; Core Principle: Programming to an Interface instead of an Implementation; The Need for Factory Design; Dependency Injection; Basic Approach; Command Design Pattern; Decoupling the GUI completely from the BL; Creating the Command Interface; Creating the Value Objects; Creating the Command Factory; Tying it all up with the GUI; Summary; Chapter 7: SOA and WCF; Understanding Application Size, Scope, and Granularity; Small Applications Versus Big Applications; Tight and Fine-Grained Domain Model; Coarse-Grained ModelWhat is SOA?Build robust, scalable ASP.NET applications quickly and easily.ASP.NET 3.5Application softwareDevelopmentMicrosoft .NETSoftware architectureWeb site developmentWeb sitesDesignApplication softwareDevelopment.Microsoft .NET.Software architecture.Web site development.Web sitesDesign.006.76Thakur Vivek1535226MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777909803321ASP.NET 3.5 application architecture and design3783319UNINA
