Managed C++ and .NET Development

Abstract

From the Publisher: This book only focuses on Managed C++ and .NET Framework development. It is specifically targeted to help developers develop .NET applications, class libraries, and Web services and applications using C++. It does not get bogged down worrying about older Microsoft C++ development methods. Managed C++ and .NET Development is about writing .NET applications and services. It is designed to start developers with a clean slate, wiping clear any need for developing COM, DCOM, COM+, or ActiveX components. Instead, it will show readers how to code in the world of .NET-free of all that unneeded baggage. More importantly, this is a book about writing .NET applications using C++. It covers a lot of ground in a short period of time. In the end, developers should be proficient at developing .NET applications, specifically for Windows and the World Wide Web. While readers are learning the ins-and-outs of .NET application development, they will also be learning the syntax of C++, both old and new to .NET. Readers will also gain a good understanding of the .NET architecture. Most of all, Managed C++ and .NET Development is truly a .NET book applying C++ as its development language-not another C++ syntax book which happens to cover .NET.

This book provides the means to that end. - When marketed with Essential Guide To Managed Extensions for C++, Apress has a complete Managed C++ .NET offering.
