From the Back Cover

Microsoft .NET is an innovative software framework that promises to change software development as we know it. This book answers the questions "What is Microsoft .NET and how do I profit from it?" The author breaks these questions down into "What problems does Microsoft .NET solve?"; "What architectural approaches does it take to solve them?"; and "How do I get started using it?" Each chapter is written in a logical, pyramidal format, with simpler, high-level concepts introduced first, followed by a more detailed technical discussion, so readers can easily choose how deep they wish to go into each chapter. The author progressively adds to the depth of Microsoft .NET information in each chapter, diagrams and simple code samples in the Microsoft Visual Basic.NET to make his points.
