The authors devote special attention to the writing of .NET components plus Web applications and services.

The authors survey each of the major .NET languages, including Visual Basic .NET, C#, and Managed C++, as well as MSIL, the intermediate language understood by the CLR. They've included working code samples in every .NET language.

Media Reviews
The book is suitable for anyone who wants a quick introduction to .Net. ..it doesn't treat you like an idiot. If you are looking for an overview that doesn't take a couple of months to read then I can recommend this particular introduction to .Net. As the title suggests, it really is just the essentials. - Mike James, Computer Shopper, December
Author Bio
Thuan L. Thai started computer programming 15 years ago but has never been tired with this hobby--one that he truly considers an art. He is currently a senior systems engineer at SAIC where he has led the architecture and development of several successful distributed and COM-based imaging systems. He also teaches Win32, MFC, and COM programming courses for Learning Tree International. Prior to all this, Thuan worked for AMS where he developed multi-tiered, object frameworks using C++ and RPC. He received his bachelor of science in computer science from the University of Virginia. When not developing software, Thuan enjoys strumming his six strings and writing songs every now and then. He often plays 9-ball with the same buddies with whom he has played the game for over eight years. Thuan hopes to play more tennis, the only sport that he has ever played for more than eight hours in a single day. Hoang Lam is a senior developer at CrossTier.com and an instructor in web development at George Washington University through DevXpert. At CrossTier.com, he specializes in developing B2B web sites using Microsoft tools.
