Microsoft's .NET is a new set of technologies that has revolutionized Windows-based software development. One of the key themes of .NET is the concept of Web services, which allows software to communicate directly with other software using Internet technologies. The core components of this pioneering technology—.NET Framework and Visual Studio .NET—provide a multilingual environment where developers can create Web services and other types of applications. Another aspect of .NET: .NET My Services, which offers a new platform for creating innovative applications. In summary, .NET technology will change the way almost all Windows applications are built.
The Big Picture of .NET is a book written for developers and technical managers, serving as a concise guide to the new landscape of Windows development. Marginal notes, detailed diagrams, and a clear writing style make the book easy to read and navigate; analysis sections explore controversial topics and address common concerns. The book's independent perspectives and straightforward descriptions clearly elucidate the workings and usage of .NET technology. Key topics covered in this book include:
- Overview of .NET itself and its goals
- Web services technology, including SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) and others
- .NET Framework Common Language Runtime (CLR)
- C# and Visual Basic .NET
- .NET Framework Class Library (Class Library)
