Product Description

Product Description
The introduction of the Microsoft .NET framework not only brings developers a powerful toolset for the development of new Windows and Web applications - it also replaces COM as the technology of choice for building components on Windows platforms. Components are the fundamental building blocks of .NET applications; they can both simplify and add flexibility to complex applications. Applied properly, component-oriented programming enable reuse, allow for long-term maintenance, application extensibility and scalability. Component technology is nothing new, but the .NET Framework offers developers a new way to develop binary components rapidly, without the hurdles that many COM developers have had to deal with prior to .NET. While retaining all of the core concepts that define component-oriented development - language independence, separation of interface from implementation, binary compatibility, versioning, concurrency management, location transparency, security, deployment - .NET is built upon a fresh component-oriented runtime that has an easier time providing these core concepts. "Programming .NET Components offers a complete introduction to the new Microsoft .N ET component model, focusing on the aspects of .NET that make it ideal for building reusable, maintainable, and robust components. Author Juval Lowy teaches the intricacies of .NET component programming and the related system issues to application developers, along with relevant design guidelines, tips, best practices, and known pitfalls. The book is packed with helpful original utilities aimed at simplifying the programming model and increasing the developer productivity. The book begins with an appreciation for the "why" and fundamentals of component-oriented programming, and then continues with an introduction to .NET essentials. Following practical, expert advice on effective .NET development techniques, the book then devotes a chapter to each of the following features critical to component development: resource management; versioning; events; asynchronous calls; multithreading; serialization; remoting; component services; and security.

From the Publisher
Programming .NET Components, Second Edition is the consummate introduction to the Microsoft .NET Framework--the technology of choice for building components on Windows platforms. From its many lessons, tips, and guidelines, readers will learn how to use the .NET Framework to program reusable, maintainable, and robust components. Following in the footsteps of its best-selling predecessor, Programming .NET Components, Second Edition has been updated to cover .NET 2.0. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars First Class, 17 Sep 2003
By Mr R G Jackson (Abergele, North Wales) - See all my reviews
This book covers many of the most difficult and obscure aspects of the .NET framework with the level of clarity and authority that has become the trademark of its publisher. It achieves this by breaking each topic down into detailed sections which examine the precise rationale behind various classes and illustrate each point with a concise code example.
I personally find understanding the 'why' is essential to understanding the 'what' and this book does an admirable job in explaining the reasons why many aspects of the .NET framework are the way they are.
I would not recommend this book if you are just starting out, as it makes no compromises about the level of understanding required, but for advanced users building real distributed applications, this book is invaluable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid Foundation for .NET Development, 15 Sep 2004
By Roger Searjeant (Cambridge, UK.) - See all my reviews
This is an excellent book. The choice of subject matter, the order of the chapters and care with which he emphasises some of the most important patterns (e.g. Finalization/Dispose) make this the book I would choose, if asked to select just one book to give to a new .NET developer.

Juval Lowy writes so well, too. Personally, I prefer technical books which are not flippant and playful, but this book isn't stilted or dull, either; it has an engaging style, and the material flows naturally.

Highly recommended. Buy it, read it.

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit too abstract...but all .NET developers should read it, 6 Feb 2005
By B. Eaton "twiglet27" (Telford, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Programming .NET Components: Design and Build .NET Applications Using Component-Oriented Programming (Paperback)
I've had to update my previous review of this book for the 2nd edition for 2 reasons:

1) The 2nd edition is better
2) It all makes much more sense now

That said my previous remarks about the book being dry, lacking in context, and reading like a thesis still stand. Even if you think you're a good .NET programmer then it's still very likely that this book will perplex (and possibly bore) you. That said you should read this for no other reason than Juval Lowy wrote it and he knows what he's talking about. He is, arguably, the best .NET guru on the planet and he wants us all to be more disciplined and professional in our .NET development, which is a good thing.

My suggestion is that you get a copy of this book in the first instance to cure your insomnia. But I guarantee that if you are a conscientious developer, you will find yourself referring back to it again and again (and wishing you were that clever). If we all read this then the quality of .NET apps would improve drastically and governments might not waste half a billion quid on systems that don't work.

I still wish it had more pictures and simple contextual explanations though!
