Publisher's Synopsis
This title shows developers how to build Internet-based, distributed applications using Microsoft .NET Remoting, which enables powerful remote interaction among objects. A fundamental understanding of .NET Remoting is crucial as developers shift to developing distributed, Internet-based applications. Until recently, DCOM was the preferred method for developing distributed applications on Microsoft platforms. But as this book demonstrates, the .NET Remoting architecture is much easier to use and extend than DCOM. The book covers all aspects of .NET Remoting, including in-depth coverage of the .NET Remoting architecture plus concrete examples, best practices, and performance tips to show how to extend and customize the framework.
- Provides developers with deep design and implementation guidance to help them build better distributed applications on the Microsoft .NET Framework
- One third of the book introduces readers to the basics of using .NET Remoting to develop distributed application
- Two-thirds of the book covers advanced features of .NET Remoting plus details on how to extend and customize the Although Java and C# share many similarities, there are fundamental differences between them. What's more, C#-the language designed from the ground up for programming the Microsoft .NET Framework-offers a wealth of new features that enable programmers to tap the full power of.NET. This is the ideal guide to help any Java developer master .NET programming with C#. The authors-two Java and C# experts-reveal the similarities and differences between the two platforms these languages support. Then they show you how to leverage your Java experience to get up to speed in C# development with a minimum of difficulty. It's the definitive programming resource as you tackle the .NET class libraries and learn to write applications for .NET with C#. Topics covered include:

PRAISE FOR THIS BOOK FROM THE MICROSOFT VISUAL C#(R) .NET TEAM:
"The two tech veterans who wrote this book can help you master C# quickly. They do an admirable job of describing the basics of the .NET initiative: its goals, structure, and capabilities. Then they help you leap the biggest hurdle of all-understanding the structure and purpose of the .NET class libraries. Their book presents the underlying concepts, explains the challenges you'll face, and guides you past the pitfalls with ease."
