Product Description

Product Description

As business becomes more and more global, software developers increasingly need to make applications multi-lingual and culturally aware. The .NET Framework may well have the most comprehensive support for internationalization and globalization of any development platform to date, and .NET Internationalization teaches developers how to unlock and utilize that support.

 

Experienced international application developer Guy Smith-Ferrier covers the internationalization of both Windows Forms and ASP.NET applications, using both Versions 1.1 and 2.0 of the .NET Framework. Smith-Ferrier not only teaches you the best ways to take advantage of the globalization and internationalization features built in to the .NET Framework and Visual Studio, he also provides original code to take globalized applications to the next level of international utility and maintainability.

 

Key topics include

•    An introduction to the internationalization process and how localization and globalization are supported in Windows and the .NET Framework

•    The use of resource managers, cultures, resource DLLs, and localized strings, images, and files—including strongly typed resources

•    Detailed coverage of form localization in Windows Forms and Web Forms

•    Dealing with regional cultures and their casing, collation, and calendars

•    Managing right-to-left Middle-Eastern text and pictographic East Asian languages

•    How to use the book’s original resource administration utilities

•    How to translate resources with machine translation

•    How to create custom cultures and integrate them with the .NET Framework 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005

•    How resource managers work and how to write custom resource managers, including a resource manager that uses a database

•    How to test your internationalization with FxCop using new and existing globalization rules

•    How to effectively include the translator in the internationalization process

 

Whether you are a developer, architect, or manager, if you are involved in international applications with the .NET Framework, this is the one book you need to read and understand before you start development.

 

Guy Smith-Ferrier is an author, developer, trainer, and speaker with more than 20 years of software engineering experience. He has internationalized applications in four development platforms, including the .NET Framework. A frequent conference speaker, Guy is the author of C# and .NET courseware and has written numerous articles. You can read his blog at www.guysmithferrier.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have For .NET Developers, 29 Aug 2006
By Martin Peck (Reading, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you're serious about developing .NET applications then you should read this book to get yourself up to speed on how you might make your apps ready for shipping across the world. Even if you never intend shipping your applications outside of your home country it'll give you an insight into the issues and challenges that you might face should you later change your mind.

The book covers .NET 1.1 and 2.0, showing how the .NET 2.0 Framework make internationalization a whole lot easier.

Developers will get a lot from this book, but it'll also prove really useful for everyone on a delivery team - testers, project managers etc. It will give non-developers an insight into the efforts involved in making an application work in many languages, and will help non-developers plan accordingly.

The book is well written, and very easy to read. It's a good technical book with plenty of good samples and walk throughs.

This is one of those books that all .NET developers should have access to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very solid book on an oft-forgotton topic, 24 Dec 2006
By Robert Macdonald - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Really good books are not only well written and informative, they change the way you think about things. I have accumulated a hotchpotch of information and half truths about internationalisation over the years, but never set out to really understand it, and its place in the development cycle. This book has allowed me to grasp internationalisation properly, and exposed me to a wealth of eye-opening insights.

Yes, I expected to learn the difference between globalisation and localisation, between left-to-right amd right-to-left languages, and between culture and UICulture. However, I had never stopped to consider how different cultures perform alphabetic sorting differently, or use different calendars. Smith-Ferrier's book not only started me thinking about the world differently, but explained how, properly used, the .NET Framework addresses many internationalisation issues transparently. I had no idea this stuff was in there.

I particularly liked the differences between 1.1 and 2.0, the appropriate separation of treatment for Web and Windows, the best practices, the road map, the attention to detail and the obvious depth of knowledge behind each sentence this author has written.

What's the point of buying yet another C# or ASP.NET book? It is refreshing to find such a good book on a topic on which few write seriously.
