Synopsis

Applied .NET strikes the perfect balance between .NET theory and practice. It doesn't just show you how to apply C# and .NET: it demonstrates just how much you can achieve with .NET once you've mastered it. More than any other book, Applied .NET is focused on the implementation cycle of software development, and the specific challenges developers will face while developing for the .NET platform. Using real-world code examples, the book addresses the realities of developing software using C#, and integrating components written in C# with other tools like BizTalk Server and ASP+. Along the way, the authors introduce the overall architecture of .NET, explain the powerful paradigm shift represented by the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR), demonstrate how .NET technologies fit together, and explain which types of components .NET is best suited for. Coverage includes: C# structure and syntax; C# types and type safety; C# classes, delegates, exceptions, assemblies, and the build process. For all developers, software architects, and IT managers considering or implementing .NET technology.

From the Back Cover

"There is a revolution underway in the software industry--and it goes by the name of XML Web Services. Applied .NET provides a valuable perspective on this change and shows how Microsoft .NET technologies can be applied to creating the next generation of software."
--Sanjay Parthasarathy, VP, Microsoft .NET Platform Strategy

"Applied.NET makes an important contribution to the field of software engineering by applying new principles in software development to building practical Internet applications based on the Microsoft .NET framework. There is no doubt that Web services, in many forms, will have an ever-increasing impact on the field of software engineering."
--William Swope, VP, Intel Architecture Group, and General Manager, Solution Enabling Group, Intel Corporation

A revolution is taking place in the software industry--object-oriented technology is now becoming people-oriented. As software's ability to increase connectivity between people grows, a more specialized focus on the online community is needed. The new .NET technologies enable software architects and developers to meet these growing needs. Designed to be a reference manual as well as a good cover-to-cover read, Applied.NET: Developing People-Oriented Software Using C# shows readers the .NET platform at work from the C# point of view.

One of the most important elements of the .NET platform is the introduction of a formal runtime environment--Common Language Runtime (CLR). Programming for the CLR represents a paradigm shift in the development environment, wherein C# introduces new syntax, types, and application architectures. The .NET platform can facilitate the creation of software that is much more oriented to people's lives, with the implementation of three concepts embodied within the people-oriented programming paradigm: universalization, collaboration, and translation (see http://www.people-oriented.net). Using this paradigm, the authors show how .NET technologies can help build a new and exciting class of software for creating the next generation of the Internet.

C# is emerging as a prominent Web development language. Applied.NET illustrates this through the development of several .NET applications using C#. It describes C# structure and syntax in detail, including types and type safety, as well as classes, delegates, and exceptions. This book takes you even further by examining how people-oriented software can be created with ASP.NET and the .NET Enterprise servers--BizTalk Server and Commerce Server. Through the .NET technologies, software architects and developers will be able to more completely and seamlessly connect people in the global online community. This book provides the necessary know-how to do just that for today and tomorrow.
