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 of the CLR, as well as other
features.

Chapter 3 introduces you to .NET programming.
You'll examine a simple program that uses
object-oriented and component-based concepts in five different
languages: Managed C++, VB.NET, C#, J#, 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 the
component-deployment features of the .NET Framework,
you'll also find complete programs that take
advantage of transaction, object pooling, role-base security, and
message queuingall 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.

Chapter 6 describes how .NET software components
can be accessed through the Internet. In this chapter, we discuss the
protocols that support web services, as well as how to publish and
discover them. You will see how XML, used in conjunction with HTTP,
breaks the proprietary nature of typical component-oriented software
development and enables greater interoperability.

Chapter 7 introduces you to ASP.NET, which now
supports object-oriented and event-driven programming, as opposed to
conventional ASP development. In this chapter, Web Forms and server
controls take the center stage. In addition, we examine how to build
custom server controls, perform data binding to various .NET
controls, and survey state management features in ASP.NET.

Chapter 8 takes conventional form-based
programming a step into the future with the classes in the
System.Windows.Forms namespace. Similar to Win32-based applications,
Windows Forms are best used to build so-called rich or
"fat" clients; however, with the
new zero-effort installation procedure of .NET and the advent of web
services, Windows Forms are appropriate for a host of applications.

Chapter 9 shows you how to build an ASP.NET
application that targets smart devices and a mobile device
application that is backed by SQL Server CE.

Appendix A contains a list of links to web sites with
information regarding languages that target the CLR, including some
burgeoning open-source projects.

Appendix B contains a list of commonly used acronyms
found in .NET literature and presentations.

Appendix C contains several lists of commonly used
data types in .NET. This appendix also illustrates the use of several
.NET collection classes.

Appendix D surveys the important tools that the .NET
SDK provides to ease the tasks of .NET development.
