| Shows intermediate and advanced programmers how to deploy a single .NET application with multiple interfaces so that it can be accessed from the command line, through a Windows GUI, by means of a Web browser, or using a mobile device.
The purpose of this book is to explore the many parts that make up .NET, to assemble them into
a meaningful whole, and to do so within the confines of a compact and readable publication.
Although many of the topics we’ll explore, such as XML Web services, Windows Forms, or
ADO.NET, are worthy of separate books in their own right, all are just pieces of the .NET jigsaw
puzzle. I felt there was a need to examine each of the individual pieces, and to show how they
relate to one another, and how they fit together. This book is the result.
The scope and size of .NET make it impossible to cover everything in a single book. So I’ve
taken some shortcuts. In particular, I’ve tried to impart the essentials while avoiding unnecessary
handholding, repetition, or padding. In general, the documentation, online help, and samples,
which come with the .NET software development kit (SDK), are comprehensive and complete.
So, armed with the knowledge gleaned from this book, you should be able to consult the documentation
for supplementary information. |
