Product Description

Professor Paul Mc Kevitt, Chair in Intelligent MultiMedia, Faculty of Engineering, University of Ulster (Magee), Derry,Northern Ireland
This book has what every network programmer needs to know in order to develop relevant applications [in] .NET networking

Product Description
The purpose of this book is to provide tools to design and implement network-orientated applications in .NET. It is also a guide for software designers to choose the best and most efficient way to implement mission critical solutions. The book addresses real-world issues facing professional developers, such as using third-party components as opposed in-house development. It differentiates itself from existing .NET publications because it is aimed at experienced professionals and concentrates on practical, ready-to-use information. The book is written in two languages C# and VB.NET, and covers never-before published information on Telephony in .NET and packet-level networking.

This is the second book in the Digital Press Software Development Series.

· Coverage of lower level protocols allows implementation of performance-centric applications
· Demonstrates the feasibility of developing telephony solutions in-house rather than outsourcing
· Written in VB.NET and C# to assist readers working in either language
· Coverage of Email, FTP and the WWW allows implementation of applications in all three areas

5.0 out of 5 stars As reviewed in VSJ magazine (september 2004), 9 Sep 2004
This is a clearly written and interesting account of network programming using both VB.NET and C#. The use of both languages saves the publisher cost and risk of two editions of the same book but puts the reader to the cost of buying redundant pages. Given that C# and VB.NET are so close anyway, and most of the work is done by the common class library, it hardly seems worth the space given to listings in both languages. It's about time Microsoft decided which of its redundant languages was the one to go for ( as if we didn't know already ).
Returning to the book in hand. It is occasionally too low level - if you need to be told how to use Visual Studio then you probably aren't up to learning about network programming. Slowly this tendency to deal with the simple dies away, and we are left with some interesting descriptions of TCP, UDP, HTTP, SMTP, Remoting and web services. It also covers less common protocols such as telephony, MSMQ, IPv6 and low-level packet protocols. The examples are all described in short sections interleaved with text. The discussions are relaxed and informal and the author isn't afraid of upsetting people by pointing out the defects and restrictions of the technologies. This makes the book highly recommended, especially if you're interested in implementing any networking features using the ,NET framework

2.0 out of 5 stars Poorly written! Incomplete! Some good useful examples! Unfortunately nothing better up there!, 31 Oct 2007
By Mile (Beverly Hills, CA United States) - See all my reviews
A poorly written book!

It appears as if the author chose his chapter headings and section titles well to make it look at first glance like an in depth material covering a broad range of subjects. However, if you read the book you will notice that each section starts with a poor superficial introduction of the subject matter with absolutely no in depth material, followed by a very good example. I must say that most of his examples work, but you will have to scratch your head to know why. He doesn't even comment on his own code other than in a superficial way.
I tried to search for a good book on the subject and couldn't after a year of using this one. Being this the only valid source up there, you probably won't have a choice but to get it. It'll get you started, but you will end up having to purchase another book to complete your knowledge.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent intro to networking tasks, 27 Aug 2004
By A Customer
I really like this book, as it provides simple examples of how to do networking tasks without huge technical explanations, very useful for developers such as myself in the real world who don't have time for ploughing through extended theory sessions before getting to the end result.

Another reviewer has mentioned the lack of complete source code as a reason for giving this book one star. I say, you were supposed to be giving a book review, not a customer service survey. Anyway I spent about half an hour typing in the TCP/IP server code from the book and it all worked fine (and actually, typing it in, you learn more anyway).

Even though there is some good information in this book, there is no complete source code provided. The author gives examples in both C# and VB. Read more
