Product Description CodeNotes provides the most succinct, accurate, and speedy way for a developer to ramp up on a new technology or language. Unlike other programming books, CodeNotes drills down to the core aspects of a technology, focusing on the key elements needed in order to understand it quickly and implement it immediately. It is a unique resource for developers, filling the gap between comprehensive manuals and pocket references.
CodeNotes for .NET shows developers how to apply .NET to industrial-strength enterprise solutions. Topics include utilizing Assemblies for deployment and versioning, integrated support for XML/SOAP, creating robust Web applications and services with ASP.NET, and managing enterprise databases with ADO.NET. Managed development and native code interoperability are also explored. Topics include instructive samples in C#, VB.NET and C++.
This edition of CodeNotes includes:
-A global overview of a technology and explanation of what problems it can be used to solve
-Real-world examples
-"How and Why" sections that provide hints, tricks, workarounds, and tips on what should be taken advantage of or avoided
-Instructions and classroom-style tutorials throughout from expert trainers and software developers
Visit www.codenotes.com for updates, source code templates, access to message boards, and discussion of specific problems with CodeNotes authors and other developers.
Every CodeNotes title is written and reviewed by a team of commercial software developers and technology experts. See "About the Authors" at the beginning of the book for more information.

This book is not aimed at the extremely novice. You should come to table with a solid understanding of OO in order to really put the information into context. Major Inacuracies,
July 28, 2003I guess...,
May 29, 2002 I expected a brief succint book about creating web services and possibly other components with .NET. Instead, much of the book is an introduction to .net framework. I'd recommend "CodeNotes for VB.NET" instead. This book seems to have been renamed. Although "CodeNotes for .NET Component Developers" is how it is listed by Amazon, the book cover now reads "CodeNotes for .NET". I suspect the change was a marketing decision by someone.By the way, the "CodeNotes" series, in general, is quite good. However, I'd skip this one. I rate it "4" since, as an overview of .NET, it's not bad (although the VB.NET book is better.) Michelin Guide to .NET Capabilities For Serious Developers,
April 21, 2002 ...Like the two-day tour in a travel guide book, the book takes you to the most significant points of interest in the entire .NET platform, which includes the Framework with its classes, the Common Type System, the common Intermediate Language, the supported languages, Windows Forms, ASP.NET, ADO.NET, and Web Services. You should be at least a mid-level developer/programmer with good familiarity with at least one OO language since the author assumes you have no need to be briefed on the Windows OS, HTML, the basics of LANS and the Web, and programming language features common to C++, C#, VB.NET, and Java. While there are numerous code fragments in C#, VB.NET, or C++, the book speaks to broad architectural issues, and Java programmers also will have no problem following the text. The book permits one to kick the tires and explore the boundaries of the .NET platform. After one full day of reading answer questions such as: What are the features of .NET and how are they tied together? Where does .NET advance the state of the art? What are the limitations of .NET? How do I bring older technologies, like COM, into .NET? When items are addressed in some detail, they are advanced topics such as the use of delegates and events in C# and VB.NET. While most useful for developers needing their first intelligent look at .NET, the book would be good preparation for a designers and architects wanting to be sure that .NET can be used for implementation of the design and for Java programmers who want to see if Bill's new dog has fleas. Since it's a brief high-level tour of capabilities, the book is not intended as a programming reference and does not cover the low level things that we understand but sometimes forget. Developer,
February 27, 2002 This is an excellent overview -- and quite a bit more -- for .NET (which itself is not a 5 star thing.)If it were literature it would get only 2 stars. And if it were the same topic and 800 pages I'd give it 3. But in comparison to the blank or pompous mountains of sludge that pass for technical writing (thinking) in computing, ...
