Microsoft .NET Platform and Technologies is the complete guide to Microsoft's .NET initiative for both IT professionals and business decision-makers. Curt Simmons and Ash Rofail explore the goals and design of the .NET framework, the Microsoft technologies that enable it, what .NET means to the Internet, and what it can (and cannot) offer your business. If you need to make intelligent decisions about .NET, this is the to-the-point, up-to-the-minute briefing you've been searching for. The authors begin by exploring the foundational concepts that underlie the .NET platform. They present a high level overview of .NET's goals and processes, introducing the new Web services .NET is intended to support, and showing how businesses can use them for competitive advantage. They walk through the .NET framework, its protocols and programming interfaces, introduce the Visual Studio.NET programming environment, and explain the central role of XML in .NET and Microsoft's approach to Web services delivery. In Part Two, the authors review Microsoft's key .NET Enterprise servers, showing how they work and how they function within the .NET initiative.
