Microsoft .NET Kick Start

A key aspect of the evolution of the .NET platform has been the strong community support behind it. Some of the online resources, which I highly recommend to occupy key positions in your bookmarks, are

• Official Developers Home Page for .NET

  http://msdn.microsoft.com/net

• .NET Architecture Center

  http://msdn.microsoft.com/architecture/

• Visual Studio .NET

  http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio

• Microsoft Office

  http://www.microsoft.com/office/

• Microsoft Windows Server System

  http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/

• Microsoft .NET Framework Community

  http://www.gotdotnet.com/

• Google Directory ”.NET

  http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Programming/Component_Frameworks/NET

Hopefully, the introduction has geared you enough for a challenging journey ahead. While you are in this exciting journey of understanding and applying .NET, please be sure to email any comments, suggestions, or problems to me, Hitesh Seth, at feedback@samspublishing.com. I want to make sure this book stays at the top of the field, and I'll implement your suggestions in future editions.
