Editorials
From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble ReviewIf you're already an experienced Visual C++ programmer, you may be reluctant to abandon C++ for C# (or any other .NET language). Fortunately, you don't have to. Using .NET's CLR facilities and Visual C++'s new managed extensions, you can add powerful capabilities to your existing applications -- or write entirely new apps that leverage .NET's component technology, garbage collection, and other useful features.
.NET Architecture and Programming Using Visual C++ shows you how to bring your Visual C++ skills into the Age of .NET. Some books "merely" offer examples. This one presents a book-length case study. (In fact, the case study is shared across an entire series, so if you like this book, the others can help you extend your .NET skills in familiar surroundings.)
The authors introduce pretty much everything that makes .NET so intriguing, covering both Windows and web development, as well as web services. Component deployment and versioning. The new ADO .NET, which lets you bind values directly to business objects and XML web services, while improving the reliability of your data access code. .NET security. You name it, it's here -- and you can use it without abandoning Visual C++. (Bill Camarda)
