Businesses around the world are facing rapidly changing economic and social situations. Business leaders and managers must be ready to respond and adapt in new, innovative ways. The authors of this groundbreaking book argue that people in business must adopt a 'holonomic' way of thinking, a dynamic and authentic understanding of the relationships within a business system, and an appreciation of the whole. Complexity and chaos are not to be feared, but rather are the foundation of successful business structures and economics. Holonomics presents a new world view where economics and ecology are in harmony. Using real-world case studies and practical exercises, the authors guide the reader in a new, holistic approach to business, towards a more sustainable future where both people and planet matter.

If we were to describe the C# language and its associated environment, the .NET framework as the most important new technology for developers for many years we would not be exaggerating. .NET is designed to provide a new environment within which you can develop almost any application to run on Windows, while C# is a new programming language that has been designed specifically to work with .NET. Using C#, you can write, for example, a dynamic web page, a component of a distributed application, a database access component, or a classic Windows desktop application. Between them C# and .NET are set to revolutionise the way that you write programs and to make programming on Windows very much easier than it has ever been. This book should equip you to program in C#, while at the same time providing the necessary background in how the .NET architecture works. It covers not only the fundamentals of the C# language, but also goes on to give examples of applications that use a variety of related technologies - including database access, dynamic web pages, advanced graphics, and directory access.

The book delves into the philosophical and theological dimensions of integrity, examining its implications for identity, responsibility, and ongoing learning within both individual and corporate contexts. Through case studies, Simon Robinson integrates Aristotelian and existentialist views with agapeic theology and leadership theories, emphasizing the church's role in fostering genuine dialogue and peacebuilding. It explores how ecclesiology and Christian ethics can guide the development of virtues and shared narratives, ultimately enhancing the church's engagement with its members and the broader world.

Focusing on the concept of integrity in business, the author emphasizes that it is more about practicing integrity than merely possessing it. The book delves into the responsibilities leaders hold regarding their ideas, values, and practices, highlighting how these contribute to an organization's integrity. It provides methods for learning and practicing integrity, underscoring the significance of dialogue and narrative in building trust. Ultimately, it presents a cohesive view of how integrity fosters mutual challenge and creativity within the business landscape.

Představení ojedinělého programovacího jazyka Visual C++. NET, v němž lze jako jediném kombinovat řízený (managed) a neřízený (unmanaged) kód. Určení knihy programátorům předpokládá určité znalosti s technologiemi COM a ATL. Kniha je rozdělena do dvou částí. V první z nich se informuje výhradně o .NET a důsledcích jeho nástupu pro programátory. Zabývá se řízeným C++ a klíčovými oblastmi .NET z jeho hlediska, například komplety (assemblies), atributy, metadaty, ale i analýzou .NET Framework coby knihovny tříd. Druhá část se pak věnuje problematice neřízeného C++, nejdříve v kontextu úpravy staršího kódu pro jeho spolupráci s kódem psaným pro .NET Framework, poté programováním COM , novými prostředky ATL (ATL Serverem) a webovými službami ATL.
