Im doing my degree next year and I want to get a head start with the programming modules because Im rubbish.

Can anyone recommend books to help me with the following modules

1) Data Application Programming - The module will show students how to implement strategies to access information from a range of data repositories. Students will develop and programme software applications designed to manipulate that data and represent it appropriately to the user.

2) Client Server Integration - Client and server system architectures, middleware, enterprise wide structures, distributed systems, web systems; SOAP, CORBA, J2EE, XML and .NET

thank you
 
Sometimes you're better off looking at websites and trying to do some programming yourself rather than reading books about it. php would be a good thing to look into as far as server and web stuff. I'm currently going to school for a Networking B.S. and my programming classes haven't really used books, especially not my scripting classes.
 
I have a BS in Computer Science and interestingly enough, have learned much more by doing than I ever did in college.

If you really want to learn, do yourself a favor and go to the local used computer shop and pick up a few cheap old desktops as performance really isn't a factor and build up a client server network. You should be able to pick up a copy of Windows Server on eBay and maybe you also want to have a Linux box on you network. Then start working with you network and see what you can come up with.
 
I have my and Associates in Networking and Network Security. I've also found that you learn a lot more just doing hands on. I work for a city now and have had to teach myself the code for a lot of the vendor programs they use. They run an all Windows based network except for one Linux box. Scripting is pretty important. It will make your job a lot easier. The only web related stuff we have used is .net and j2ee
