Practical .NET2 and C#2 Second Edition: Harness the Platform, the Language, the Framework

Description  

The The author has placed himself from the point of view of the developer which must both be quickly productive and anticipate changes without having to question their acquired skills. More than half this book is dedicated to the new features introduced by version 2.0 of .NET.

•       The .NET platform: CLR, CIL language, Common Type System, assembly, metadata, JIT compilation, GC, AppDomain, MSBuild, deployment (ClickOnce, MSI), localization, process, thread, synchronization, asynchronous call, security, CAS, attribute, reflection, interoperability with P/Invoke and COM.

•       The C#2 language (and a detailed comparison with C++): Typing, class, structure,  object, interface, inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction, genericity, pointers and unsafe code, delegate, events, exception, nullable type, anonymous method, iterator.

•       The .NET Framework: Collection, trace, debugging, I/O, socket, file, Windows Forms 2, GDI+, ADO.NET 2, transaction, XML, .NET Remoting, ASP.NET 2, web services.

With several reminders to fundamental notiontions, students as well as beginners will feel at ease. The experienced developer will easily be able to take advantage of the subtle features offered by .NET 2.0 such as generics, unified transactional model, the unified transactional model, master pages or ClickOnce deployment.
