This manuscript is Chapter 1 .NET Overview from the Wrox
Press book
Introducing .NET.
What does this book cover?
Examines the .NET Framework in detail
Explains what is and isn't part of .NET
Examines how the different parts fit together
Covers VB.NET and C# as two languages for .NET development
Provides examples of .NET in action
.NET is Microsoft's vision of 'software as a service', a
development environment in which you can build, create, and
deploy your applications and the next generation of components,
termed Web Services. All of Microsoft's major flagship products
from Visual Studio to Windows and eventually Office are gradually
being integrated into the vision and they will all offer services
that will allow greater integration between products. .NET will
allow developers to develop in whatever language they are
comfortable with, via the introduction of a common language
runtime, whilst at the same time provide 'building block
services' to ease application development.
Introducing .NET is designed to tell you exactly what you need to
know, to cut through the fog and to bring you a clear picture of
what .NET is, and what you can expect to be able to do using it.
Who is this book for?
This book is for experienced developers at the leading edge, or
for businesses that have to already be developing solutions on
the latest platform as soon as it comes out. The different
sections of .NET are in various stages of completion, and all are
in beta programs and therefore a high degree of technical
competence and awareness of technologies such a COM, COM+, ASP,
and VB is required on the part of the reader. Some experience of
C, C++ or Java would be advantageous to anyone new to C#,
although it's not essential.
