Book Description

Publication Date: Jan 22 2002 | Series: Pro-Developer

The Microsoft® .NET Framework allows developers to quickly build robust, secure ASP.NET Web Forms and XML Web service applications, Windows® Forms applications, tools, and types. Find out all about its common language runtime and learn how to leverage its power to build, package, and deploy any kind of application or component. APPLIED MICROSOFT .NET FRAMEWORK PROGRAMMING is ideal for anyone who understands object-oriented programming concepts such as data abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism. The book carefully explains the extensible type system of the .NET Framework, examines how the runtime manages the behavior of types, and explores how an application manipulates types. While focusing on C#, it presents concepts applicable to all programming languages that target the .NET Framework.

Topics covered include:

  • The .NET Framework architecture
  • Building, packaging, deploying, and administering applications and their types
  • Building and deploying shared assemblies
  • Type fundamentals
  • Primitive, reference, and value types
  • Operations common to all objects
  • Type members and accessibility
  • Constants, fields, methods, properties, and events
  • Working with text
  • Enumerated types and bit flags
  • Array types
  • Interfaces
  • Custom attributes
  • Delegates
  • Error handling with exceptions
  • Automatic memory management
  • AppDomains and reflection
  • Includes coverage of C#

Product Description

From Amazon

Applied Microsoft .NET Framework Programming is a tutorial. It's meant for programmers who already know an object-oriented language and want to apply their knowledge in the standardized environment provided by the Microsoft .NET Framework. The book, written by Jeffrey Richter, a programmer and the .NET columnist at Microsoft's magazine for its developer community, takes a more or less language-agnostic approach to the run-time environment (though many illustrative examples are in C#). It aims to untangle the Common Language Runtime (CLR) and some of the Framework Class Library (FCL), and generally succeeds, particularly at the former. Richter shares his knowledge of the key classes you can instantiate in the CLR, and the kinds of operations you can perform on and with them.

You can read this book, or individual chapters, from beginning to end. You'll probably find it more helpful, though, if you read individual sections as you encounter problems or develop an interest in specific aspects of the CLR (ideal for those middle-of-the-night "I wonder how it does..." questions). Richter typically lets his code do most of the talking, and he'll often introduce a section with a prose summary of the CLR way of doing something (sometimes with a supplementary diagram) before unleashing a string of quick examples that illustrate variations on the theme. In an unusual and helpful tutorial move, he makes heavy use of the ILDASM utility to show what goes on at compile time. --David Wall

Topics covered: How the Microsoft .NET Framework--in other words, the Common Language Runtime (CLR) and parts of the Framework Class Library (FCL)--runs Microsoft .NET applications, and how to write software for the framework. Shared assemblies, characteristics of CLR types (including their properties, methods, fields, and events), and object orientation all get ample coverage. There's particularly detailed information on text manipulation (including internationalization and localization), arrays, custom interfaces, and the managed environment (garbage collection) in the CLR environment.

4.0 out of 5 stars .NET Intro Aug 8 2002
By Slow Rider
Format:Paperback
This book serves as a great introduction to the building blocks of the .NET Framework. I've always enjoyed Richter's professional, competent writing style and would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking to find out what the .NET Framework is all about, how it works, and how best to utilize it in your own .NET development.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfection Jun 14 2004
By "rajohnn"
Format:Paperback
You have to love this book. Simply a must read for any .NET software developer. It does a fairly good job of staying language neutral, but you will get the most out of the book if you are comfortable with C#.

No other book I have read comes close to explaining the CLR in such a graspable way. There are six or seven different sections of the book I find myself pointing colleagues to everyday. One of the most overlooked, misunderstood and necessary topics has to be boxing and unboxing. This is explained extraordinarily well. I still find myself reading this section over, pleading with my brain to commit some of the trickery of the compiler to memory. Another favorite section is Chapter 11 - Events. Nobody could possibly read this chapter and not feel completely comfortable with designing a type that exposes an event. And then, the cherry on top, he walks you through explicitly controlling event registration... WOW! Great stuff.

This book is packed with all the core concepts you need to know to be a successful programmer. The longer you go without it, the more of injustice you do to yourselves and your clients.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic book in the field of Microsoft.NET Jun 11 2004
By Steve
Format:Paperback
This is one of the few classics, programmers should get and learn from it. The easy reading(keeps refreshing the reader on earlier concepts) style makes learning enjoyable and exciting.

Even after finishing the book, I still can't help but wonder why System.Threading wasn't covered. Maybe Jeffery should include this topic in his next edition of the book.

After finishing the book, the reader should find the concepts covered in other areas of .net easy to handle and understand. After all that's the objective of the book.

Five stars from me.
