About This Book
Based on a short course that Thuan has delivered to numerous companies since August 2000, this book is designed so that each chapter builds on knowledge from the previous one for those unfamiliar with each technology. To give you a heads-up, here are brief summaries for the chapters and appendixes covered in this book.
Chapter 1 takes a brief look at Microsoft .NET and the Microsoft .NET Platform. It then describes the .NET Framework design goals and introduces you to the components of the .NET Framework.
Chapter 2 lifts the hood and peers into the CLR. This chapter surveys the rich runtime, as well as other features, of the CLR.
Chapter 3 introduces you to .NET programming. You’ll examine a simple program that uses object-oriented and component-based concepts in four different languages: Managed C++, VB.NET, C#, and IL. You’ll also experience the benefits of language integration.
Chapter 4 demonstrates the simplicity of component and enterprise development in .NET. Besides seeing component-deployment features, you’ll also examine complete programs that take advantage of transaction, object pooling, role-base security, and message queuing—all in one chapter.
Chapter 5 describes the architecture of ADO.NET and its benefits. Besides being disconnected to promote scalability, the ADO.NET dataset is also tightly integrated with XML to enhance interoperability. This chapter introduces you to the .NET data-access objects, as well as the XML namespace.
