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 the unneeded baggage that accompanies component development.
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.
