Product Description

Brilliantly compiled by author Juval Lowy, "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. It remains one of the few practical books available on this topic. This invaluable resource is targeted at anyone who develops complex or enterprise-level applications with the .NET platform - an ever-widening market. In fact, nearly two million Microsoft developers worldwide now work on such systems. "Programming .NET Components, Second Edition" begins with a look at the fundamentals of component-oriented programming and then progresses from there. It takes the time to carefully examine how components can simplify and add flexibility to complex applications by allowing users to extend their capabilities. Next, the book introduces a variety of .NET essentials, as well as .N ET development techniques. Within this discussion on component development, a separate chapter is devoted to each critical development feature, including asynchronous calls, serialization, remoting, security, and more. All the while, hazardous programming pitfalls are pointed out, saving the reader from experiencing them the hard way. A .NET expert and noted authority on component-oriented programming, Lowy uses his unique access to Microsoft technical teams to the best possible advantage, conveying detailed, insider information in easy-to-grasp, activity-filled language. This hands-on approach is designed to allow individuals to learn by doing rather than just reading. Indeed, after digesting "Programming .NET Components, Second Edition", readers should be able to start developing .NET components immediately.

5.0 out of 5 stars First Class, 17 Sep 2003

By	Mr R G Jackson (Abergele, North Wales) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Programming .NET Components (Paperback)

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 review is from: Programming .NET Components (Paperback)

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" - 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!
