Book Description

Publication Date: 10 Dec 2002 | Series: Programmer to programmer
Advanced .NET Programming is the perfect next step for developers who have learned a .NET language and the basic workings of the Common Language Runtime, and who now want to move to the next level. Although we look in some detail at the workings of the CLR, the focus throughout the book is on the practical information that you need to know to write applications that really get the most out of .NET.


In this book, Simon Robinson - the author of the best-selling Professional C# 2nd Edition - fills in the holes with the topics that most .NET books don't cover. Because we assume that you're already a competent .NET programmer, this is one .NET book that doesn't waste time telling you what you already know. Instead, we dive straight into the details that you need to write applications that make the best use of the CLR, and also look at many aspects of .NET programming that aren't covered in introductory books.


Topics covered include:


Intermediate Language - the native language of .NET, and dynamically generating code

In-depth coverage of how the CLR works

Optimizing the performance of your applications and profiling their usage of system resources

Thread synchronization in .NET

Advanced Windows applications

Managing resources on a machine using WMI

Security and cryptography in .NET

Product Description

From the Publisher

This book is aimed at competent .NET programmers, who are already familiar with the basic concepts of .NET and the main class libraries. Because the examples are presented in C#, you will need at least a reading knowledge of this language to get the most from this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quite good, but more like intermediate than advanced 7 Jan 2003
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Simon Robinson's latest book delves a bit deeper into .NET than most current C#/.NET offerings: it includes a good introduction to IL and internal data structures. The chapters on garbage collection along with associated idioms for looking after unmanaged resources, profiling and code generation are particularly good. There are a few other chapters that are not quite so good: the performance improvement one is quite simplistic, and the cyptography one does not quite seem to belong with the rest of the book.

The book does claim to be "advanced" .NET programming - however, while it does describe topics beyond most .NET books, it doesn't delve that far into them. Something like "Inside Microsoft .NET IL Assembler" (MS Press, ISBN 0-7356-1547-0) covers IL is much more detail; or "Applied .NET Framework Programming" (MS Press, ISBN 0-7356-1422-9) is the book for really advanced CLR internals. However, "Advanced .NET Programming" has a much wider scope than either of those, so if you plan to buy only one "advanced" .NET book, this one has very little direct competition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Right up there with Richter's book 8 May 2003
By John W. Conwell - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book is really great. I've read several white papers and a few chapters from other books about IL programming and debugging, but the first two chapters of this book are the best I've ever seen. Robinson makes IL programming almost easy, his explanations on how to code with IL really turned on the light bulbs. But this isn't just an IL book, he just covers it so you have a good working knowledge of what your C# code gets compiled down to. Chapter 3's explanation of the JIT compiler is also outstanding, as is chapter 4's in depth explanation of an assembly.

I wont go into detail of every chapter, but Robinson really has written a first class C# book here. I'd have to say it rivals right up there with Jeffrey Richter's Applied .Net book, and that's saying a lot. If you want a book that gets to the guts of .Net and the CLR, this is it!

5.0 out of 5 stars .NET Internals Revealed 13 Jun 2011
By Joshua Reuben - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
10 years on and this book is still full of insights into the internal workings of .NET.
Read this book to understand IL, compilation internals, some interop (a bit outdated) reflection, CodeDOM, WMI, crypto, CAS and more!
