Book description
“ClickOnce demos may look simple, but those techniques
only work for simple applications. Brian Noyes gives us the
information we need to use ClickOnce in the real world, and he does
it with a comprehensive and organized presentation. If you expect
your smart client application to move very far beyond
‘Hello,World,’ you’ll want this book to help you
deploy it.”
—Billy Hollis, president/owner, Elysian Consulting,
Microsoft Regional Director
“Once again Brian has outdone himself. As a writer, I tend
to be very critical of all technical publications, including my own
. . . and it is such a pleasure to read anything Brian writes
because he studies his topics well, resulting in an accurate,
thorough, yet concise piece of work. ClickOnce being a new
technology that deals with the pains we all have with application
deployment, versioning, and security, it is important to have a
text that will guide you through the learning process, give you
sound advice for adopting the technology, and explain why you
should even care. Brian gives his readers all of that.”
—Michele Leroux Bustamante, chief architect,
IDesign, Microsoft Regional Director
“ClickOnce is the key to Windows and smart client
deployment. Brian’s book is the key to successfully using
ClickOnce. This book walks you through using ClickOnce, from the
basics to advanced scenarios. It is an excellent
resource.”
—Rockford Lhotka, principal technology evangelist,
Magenic Technologies, Microsoft Regional Director
“Brian covers ClickOnce with a view to real-world
deployment issues, which isobviously based on real-world
experience. In and of itself, that is enough forme to buy the book.
However, it is an even better investment by virtue of thefact that
ClickOnce is a core part of the .NET Framework for Windows Forms2.0
now, and Windows Presentation Foundation in the
future.”
—Michael Weinhardt, SDK programmer/writer,
Application Model,Windows Presentation Foundation,
Microsoft
“This book covers the most important ingredient needed for
the success of asmart client application—deployment. The
author’s unassuming writing style,combined with his in-depth
coverage of the topic, makes this book an invaluableresource for
all serious smart client developers.”
—Vishwas Lele, principal architect, Applied
Information Sciences,Microsoft Regional Director
