Understanding .NET (2nd Edition)

Praise for David Chappell's Understanding .NET, Second Edition

"David Chappell's Understanding .NET, Second Edition, contains excellent coverage of the CLR, class library, ASP.NET, ADO.NET, and distributed applications. It is still the best technical overview of .NET to date, and I recommend it to anyone making the transition to .NET."

"David's coverage of all things .NET is extensive and thorough. Even regular users of Visual Studio will learn something about .NET that they didn't know."

"Understanding .NET, Second Edition, will give managers the knowledge and vocabulary they need to communicate with their developers. Developers looking to obtain a high-level view of the .NET Framework before going into each topic in depth will also benefit from this book. This book helps developers get a bird's-eye view of .NET Framework before they engage in the long learning curve required. This book is very well organized and technically accurate."
