The .NET Framework provides a runtime environment called the Common Language Runtime, which manages the execution of code and provides services that make the development of robust software easier. The Common Language Runtime (CLR) provides a solid foundation for developers to build various types of applications. Whether a developer is writing an ASP.NET application, a Windows Forms application, a Web Service, a mobile code application, a distributed application, or an application that combines several of these application models, the CLR provides huge benefits such as simplified development and the ability to integrate code written in various languages.
This book is a high-end comprehensive reference to the capability of the CLR. The samples in the book have been written so that they not only illustrate a principle but give the reader a springboard to quickly translate the sample to practical, real-world applications. After reading this book, readers will be able to significantly increase their productivity by comfortably using the power and expressiveness of the Common Language Runtime in their applications. This book will take the reader beyond the syntax of C# to using and understanding the CLR to build secure, maintainable, and high performance applications.
About the Author
Ronald Kevin Burton has been around software development for almost 20 years. He has worked with small and efficient real-time executive programs for controlling the flow of communications data in a communications system. He participated in a team to build critical flight-control software, and has worked on Cyber, Unix, VAX/VMS, OS/9, VxWorks, Windows NT, and Windows 2000 systems. Kevin built complex real-time systems that analyzed images and provided feedback to the user, as well as custom software to augment the operation of an electron microscope. Currently, Kevin is working on building cutting edge systems to automate the production and distribution of news broadcasts. He sees the .NET Framework as the next evolution of software development and is excited about being part of that movement. Kevin can be reached at Kevin.Burton@inewsroom.com
