The Student's Essential Guide to .NET provides a clear and simple overview of Microsoft's .NET technologies. It is aimed at second and third year undergraduate students and postgraduate students on Computing or Computer Science courses who are required to look at a modern operating system, (Microsoft Windows 9x, Nt 2000 or XP) and to design and code simple or even not so simple examples. The approach is based upon the student's learning the technology of .NET through examples using the supported languages C#, VB and C++. The examples are based on fun, familiar games, and students are encouraged to review reference material to refine their skills on key aspects of the architecture. Review questions and worked examples enhance the learning process and the material is supported by the author's website, which contains extensive ancillary material.

The Complete Reference to Professional SOA with Visual Studio 2005 (C# & VB 2005) focuses on architecting and constructing enterprise-level systems. Taking advantage of the newly released Visual Studio 2005 development environment, the book assesses the current service-oriented platform and examines new ways to develop for scalability, availability, and security (which have become available with .NET 2.0). You'll get to look closely at application infrastructure in terms of flexibility, interoperability, and integration, as well as the decisions that have to be made to achieve optimum balance within your architecture.
