Guides to Microsofts .NET technologies abound (see Computer Media, LJ 4/1/01), but most focus on only one piece of the colossus.
Chappells book is different because it offers a lucid overview of every aspect of .NET. Intended for developers and technology managers but accessible
to lay readers, it describes how existing languages and technologies (such as ASP) are transformed in the .NET environment and explains the reasoning behind creating new
languages such as C#.
Touchy topics like the privacy issues created by .NET My Services and .NETs seeming similarity to Java are also squarely
addressed. Highly recommended for all libraries.
Microsofts .NET is revolutionizing Windows-based software development. Since its initial release in
2002, .NET has changed significantly, becoming the foundation for a new generation of Windows applications. The .NET Framework and Visual Studio, the two core aspects
of this initiative, provide a multilanguage environment in which developers can create Web services, graphical user interfaces, and other kinds of applications. Taken as a
whole, the .NET technologies have changed the way nearly every Windows application is built.
Now fully updated for version 2.0 of the .NET Framework
and Visual Basic 2005, Understanding .NET, Second Edition, is a concise guide to the landscape of Windows development. Margin notes, detailed diagrams, and lucid writing
make this book easy to read and navigate, while analysis sections explore controversial issues and address common concerns. David Chappells independent perspective and
straightforward descriptions clarify both how the .NET technologies work and how they can be used.
Coverage includes:
- An
overview of .NET and its goals
- The Common Language Runtime (CLR)
- The .NET languages, including C#, Visual Basic, and C++
