            <title>Searching eBooks and music with Google</title>
            <link>http://geekswithblogs.net/ram/archive/2006/02/08/68643.aspx</link>
            <description>&lt;P&gt;I found this masterpiece while I was browsing a forum where somebody has posted this great stuff.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;Music Search&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Put this complete link in your browser,.....hit enter&amp;#8230;then just type in the &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;music or title you are looking for &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;
&lt;HR id=null&gt;
&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;FONT size=1&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;javascript:Qr='';if(!Qr){void(Qr=prompt('Enter Artist Or Song Name:',''))};if(Qr)location.href='http://www2.google.com/ie?query=%22parent+directory%22+%22'+escape(Qr)+'%22+mp3+OR+wma+OR+ogg+-html+-htm&amp;amp;num=100&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;lr=&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;amp;oe=UTF-8&amp;amp;safe=active&amp;amp;sa=N'&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;
&lt;HR id=null&gt;
&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Use that. It'll pop-up asking for you to enter Song Title and Artist. And it can search for whatever you want.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;eBook Search&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;
&lt;HR id=null&gt;
&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana size=1&gt;&lt;EM&gt;javascript:Qr='';if(!Qr){void(Qr=prompt('Enter Author Or Book Name:',''))};if(Qr)location.href='http://www2.google.com/ie?query=%22parent+directory%22+%22'+escape(Qr)+'%22+pdf+OR+rar+OR+zip+OR+lit+OR+djvu+OR+pdb+-html+-htm&amp;amp;num=100&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;lr=&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;amp;oe=UTF-8&amp;amp;safe=active&amp;amp;sa=N'&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;
&lt;HR id=null&gt;
&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you think that I'm playing a prank by posting then think again..............!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Give it a try atleast once.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Happy Goooooooooooooogling :)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=6cda6ad746d942b9a1110d0715a4fa12&amp;u=68643"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=6cda6ad746d942b9a1110d0715a4fa12&amp;u=68643" border="0"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;iframe src="http://ads.geekswithblogs.net/a.aspx?ZoneID=5&amp;amp;Task=Get&amp;amp;PageID=31016&amp;amp;SiteID=1" width=1 height=1 Marginwidth=0 Marginheight=0 Hspace=0 Vspace=0 Frameborder=0 Scrolling=No&gt;

            <title>Dissecting a C# Application: Inside SharpDevelop and some other free ebooks</title>
            <link>http://geekswithblogs.net/ram/archive/2006/01/27/67248.aspx</link>
            <description>&lt;P&gt;Learn advanced .NET programming techniques by getting an insiders' look at a complete application! &lt;BR&gt;SharpDevelop is a complete Integrated Development Environment, written in C#. It includes all the advanced features that programmers expect from a modern IDE and, of course, implementing these features has required some advanced programming techniques. &lt;BR&gt;The developers who created SharpDevelop give you an inside track on application development with a guided tour of the sourcecode for SharpDevelop. They will show you the most important code features and explain how you can use these techniques in your own projects. You will gain valuable experience of building an application on this scale, learning from the decisions, mistakes, problems and solutions that lead to the current version on SharpDevelop. &lt;BR&gt;The SharpDevelop team will show you how to: &lt;BR&gt;Build a highly modular application &lt;BR&gt;Provide a flexible, extendable, customizable user interface &lt;BR&gt;Manage the efforts of translators for effcient internationalization &lt;BR&gt;Represent and manipulate text efficiently &lt;BR&gt;Code search and replace functionality &lt;BR&gt;Construct reusable controls &lt;BR&gt;Implement a parser to provide syntax highlightingauto-completion as users type &lt;BR&gt;Use reflection to access information about .NET classes &lt;BR&gt;Create a Windows Forms designer &lt;BR&gt;Generate code programmatically &lt;BR&gt;All of these techniques are shown in the context of the source of the SharpDevelop application - a real piece of software that you can download and user yourself. This means that there are no 'toy' examples or theory that will not work in practice - just solid, real-world code and frank discussions of how it was created. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
